What the fuck happened to Nintendo? Why can’t they release a game that cracks the 95 threshold anymore? They went all out with MKW and Bananza probably expecting them to be praised as masterpieces, but they only ended up being “great” instead of “GOTY”

>>715998564 (OP)
Why be good when passable sell just the same.

mario kart was 80 dollars and there's the anti dk bias that critics have

>IMPLYING NINTENDO WILL EVER GET A SCORE ABOVE 90-93
SORRY CONSUMERS EAT LESS TRASH OR ARE LESS BIASED NOW

>What the fuck happe-
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
>W-W-W-Why can't they re-*sobs*
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
>T-T-T-T-They went *seethes* all out with MK-
HAVE A ROTTEN DAY!

>>715998689
Or maybe mkw just has many issues and bananza is worse than odyssey.

Remove ten points for tendie bonus

Seethin Snoys

>>715998840
Still waiting to see any of these supposed "many issues" aside form 'WAAHHHHHHH IT DOES HAVE 10 YEAR OF DLC'

Reminder to automatically dock 10 points from every Nintendo score

>snoys use ifunny as evidence
BAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

>>715998689
Mario Kart has been turned into a series that every new game needs a couple of years of dlc just to match what the previous entry has available. This hurts their reviews at the game launch, but likely over time it will end up as good or better.

>>715998931
>>715998819
Why aren’t you playing Bananza?

Game reviewers cant separate the creator from the creation so you get situations like this when incredible games unlike anything else such as DK Bananza are underrated because they don't like the Japanese/companies that curb stomp pirates.
On the other hand mediocre, derivative games with poor gameplay like E33 get overrated because oh my science it was made by ten redditors and a dog!

>>715998910
>>715999087
>snoys still trying to pretend the "bonus" isn't a bias against nintendo

Beat it already. Why aren't you?

>>715999207
Right. You guys have been accusing western journalists of hating Japan and Nintendo for years, but somehow they decided to not hate in 2023 when TotK came out.

>>715999339

>>715999207

>unlike anything else
Ever since the Direct people have pointed out it's Mario Odyssey wearing a DK skin.

>>715999207
>Game reviewers cant separate the creator from the creation
true, which is why nintendo scores get inflated because "OMG MY CHILDHOOD I LOVE NINTENDO! NINTENDO IS MY FRIEND! NINTENDO MAGIC!"

>>715998981
The intermission tracks are a steaming pile of shit and the open world design is meaningless.

>>715999496
Yeah bro I could totally punch holes in the wall in Odyssey

>>715999496
And then people played it

Did you not see the Switch 2 direct? There has been a generational handover

Miyamoto, Aonuma etc took a backseat for Switch 2 launch as they are GERIATRIC and now younger gens are fucking everything up

Metroid 4 is also going to be a 90 percenter btw. Mario Wonder, World and Bonanza are indicative we are now in the Nintendo slop era

>>715999087
>dev rightfully gets praised for making a very impressive port of a multiplat title running on 8x more powerful hardware.
>muh nintenduh bonus.
You are retarded.

The problem with modern Nintendo games is that they're obsessed with pretentious, underutilized gimmicks, piss-easy difficulty with no options for harcore gamers and older players, and zero consistent, meaningful story applied to their lore or characters. Their game developer mentality is still trapped in the 90's, for better or worse. Oh, that and the blatant anti-consumer greed. That needs to go too.

If they fixed those issues, they'd be golden among gamers and casuals alike, and I seriously mean that.

>>715999171
No, the gimmick of Mario Kart 9 is genuinely bad.
Anti-Gravity was a great gimmick that allowed for creative tracks.

>>715999195
I'm broke

>>715998564 (OP)
Imagine depending on the bought words of biased journos. Sounds exhausting and hollow as fuck.

>>715998819
What the fuck is wrong with nintengroids?

>>716000578
People like Miyamoto and Aonuma were fucking everything up years before younger management and talent took over anyway. They became washed-up and are overstaying their welcome at the company.

>>715998564 (OP)
they stopped buying as many journalists.

>>716000578
niggerm aonuma is the exact reason why zelda went to shit.

>>716000848
Nintendo had its first peak in the 90s. The problem now is that mobile shallowness and play duration are informing game design

Shrines, "collect 3 things" patterns in TOTK and Banazo are all so you can play 10 minutes get bored, play on tiktok, check instachat etc then play 10 minutes again

Shallow slop

I wish this were true

>>715999087
It got points because the Switch is an underpowered slab of 2010 technology and yet it played just fine, unfortunately proving that modern game development is filled with bullshit to define every single pubic hair.
If we just went back to 2000s graphics we'd have more and better games.

>>715998564 (OP)
Prime 4 is going to carry this year's critical acclaim quota for Nintendo

>t-t-t-the nintendo bonus doesnt exist guyz! journalists actually hate nintendo! you're just snoys! snoy snoy snoy!
meanwhile in reality, nintendo alone takes up 5/12 of the top 12 on metacritic.

explain the userscore then.
>>716002292
i'd argue that oot belongs in its spot because of how it held up to the other games of its time, and its still fun to take a run through with SoH. but yeah the rest of it doesnt belong there.
really, that and deltarune are the only two games on these lists that deserve to be up on their respective lists and deltarune isnt even finished yet.

Apparently 86 is a bad score with the Nintendo penalty

I just picked a bunch of games I am nostalgic about.

>>715998564 (OP)
BOTW and Super Mario Odyssey were objectively bad games. The first was just Ubisoft for Gen A and Super Mario Odyssey was a brain dead skinner box that gave you a new star ever 15 seconds. You didn't have to try or work for anything.

>>716002287
it's simply not possible for them to comprehend this

At least you're honest about it

>>716002661
BotW and Odyssey feel like slicing butter with a knife. It’s easy but satisfying and just feels right

>>715998564 (OP)
All of these games are 6/10.

>>716002774
God Infinite was such garbage

>I just picked a bunch of games I am nostalgic about.
my knees... they're bending on their own...

>>715998564 (OP)
Tbf Mario Odyssey is not a 97. It's a 90 at best, despite how much soul it has

>>716002837
The average modern game is like a 3 or 4/10 so they did pretty good

>>716002774

I couldn't stand 3D World personally.

>>716002774
Bioshock Infinite proved that journos are full of shit and I don't know what evidence we've needed since 2013

>>715998564 (OP)
is this loss

oh yeah, and filtering it to the past five years isnt much better either, nintendo still takes up 5/12 of the top 12 slots and three of those are fucking botw/totk.
now, can the nintendo fanboys please stop trying to deny the nintendo bonus? its embarrassing.
>>716002649
>>716002739
the vast majority of games could be told as a movie or book.
both OOT and DR both have enough detail packed into the world that you'd lose so much trying to wedge it into a different format, ontop of being fun to play.
this is what makes them stand above the rest in my eyes.
>>716002774
yeah of course metacritic sucks, im trying to prove a point

>>716003009
>>HAHAHAHA SNOYS LOOK WE JUST OUTSOLD YOU CHECK OUT THE FAMITSU NUMBERS, SALES = QUALITY
Objective fact
>>Uhhhh so what if Fortnite and Roblox makes more money than the new Zelda and Mario games, that doesn’t mean it’s better!
Fortnite and Roblox are better than Mario and Zelda albeit

And you would be wrong.

>>716003373
any score a journalist gives a game is bad because journalists very rarely give a game a fair score.

>>716003453
GEEEEEEEEEEG

>>716003453
i thought they made the day cycle 3 minutes long so you never could get into hyrule castle on your first trip from the forest

>>716003009
>famitsu living rent free in his head
sonyfags have been completely mindbroken by hard facts and data

>>716003453
first of all, botw is literally just this stretched across the whole game world so unless you shit on that game too i dont wanna hear it.
second, hyrule field is what we call a "hub world"
hub worlds are usually mostly barren and empty, while the connected levels/regions are far more packed.
its also spaced out just enough that your first time leaving the forest (and without complex mechanics, hence the average first time player) you wont get to the castle before the gate closes so that you're introduced to the fact that the day/night distinction actually changes the way areas work.
and finally it serves as an incentive to actually use epona before you get the teleport songs in the second half of the game.

>>716004068
in 1996 running across that field for 60s was a mind blowing technological experience, like the draw distance in botw opening

we literally couldn't believe what we were seeing

>>715998564 (OP)
Left was made when Nintendo was in crises mode, right is made when Nintendo is fat

>>715998564 (OP)
>(Opens up the metacriric top 10)
Alright let’s see what else is tied with the best game of all time
>Tony Hawk 3
>Soul Calibur
>Grand Theft Auto IV and V
Fucking kek. The best games, everybody. GTA4 and Tony Hawk 3. Such good games you had to be there. Soul Calibur 1 too. The best. 11/10. How can Nintendo compete with GTA4?

>>716003453
This is why metascores of games from before the sixth generation should be entirely disregarded

>>716004309
oh yeah that too.
>try to replay DK64 recently, i even have a N64 and cart!
>the fucking draw distance is so ridiculously close that im not enjoying it at all
i tried finding a mod to fix the problem so that i could emulate it instead, but no dice. please tell me its a feature built into a N64 emulator.

>>716004353

Hard times make great games.
Great games make big profits.
Big profits make lazy devs.
Lazy devs make hard times.

>>716004550
So BotW having a 97 isn’t anything impressive either I guess

>>716003453
I don't see the problem. Fucking zoomers truly can't appreciated greatness.

>>716005072
I guess not. Not if it’s sharing it with GTA4 and 5 and Tony Hawk 3 and somehow not 2. My point is these scores are meaningless. Even for OOT. When journalists grade on a curve and hand out 11/10 to games that didn’t deserve it, it’s meaningless.

>>716005072
When you takes Zelda's previous metascore review history into consideration, no, it really isn't.
Reminder that rabid tendies doxxed Gamespot and managed to get Jeff Gerstmann fired from his job for simply giving Twilight Princess an honest 8.8 review score back in the day.

>>716005323
Why did you try to turn the Kane and lynch scandal into a non-existent thing about nintendo fans?

>>716005473

That webm isn't the first trip.

>>716005589
He was always a small shadow of people like Jeff gertsman and others who always had shitty takes regardless of whatever media his dumb ass brings up. Using him as a backup is full fucking retarded.

>>716005323
And Sony trannies did even worse over horizon. Fucking horizon. A forgettable culturally irrelevant game nobody cares about. Sony fans are the worst, they will literally kill people IRL and dress up in tenant colors and their fans on retardera will clap and say it’s deserved and justified
