Nintendo buys journalists, unlike Sonygods.

>>716083343 (OP)
>trust the game journalists!!!
No lmao. Kill yourself OP.

I think even normal people are aware of the Nintendo bonus at this point.

For some reason Nintendo can just release an 8/10 3D platformer and it gets 10/10s despite doing nothing particularly interesting or new. They're polished, at least?
In any case the bias is 100% real, if this wasn't a Donkey Kong game then it would not get this score - nobody will ever pretend otherwise.

>56 vs 187 reviews

Nintendo bonus

Turn-based slop has no place in the modern industry.

>>716083343 (OP)
Logan Plant is laughing away eating a Yoshi burger on the Daisy Express thinking how easy it was to swindle you guys

The video game industry is truly lost if corpo slop like E33 wins GOTY over honestly t passion projects for gamers like DK. Makes me sick.

>56 vs 187

>Nearly 4x the amount of reviews

Nice ragebait. Hades 2's beating both these games anyway.

>>716083343 (OP)
Step 1: go to mario kart world's list of reviews and filter by 7/10 or lower.
Step 2: go to each one at see if they reviewed donkey kong bananza or not.
Step 3: use your brain.
You don't have to get paid by nintendo as a pre-requisite to putting out good reviews. Being black listed by not getting review copies as a consequence to a prior bad review is powerful enough by itself.

>>716083343 (OP)
Forced shitposting by rebirth tards getting upset that a turn based game was better received more iconic and sold better than their mediocre remake. Nobody cares about GOTY

Uhhh, BananaBros!?

>>716085851
DK = indie? Blackrock and vanguard are the biggest share holders of nintendo stock. How much budget did E33 have exactly to be labeled "corpo"?

>>716086465
E33 had billions injected using the lead dev family and more than 500 developers actively working on it. But they scammed people with the '30 dev team' narrative lol.
DK is honest indie/AA with very contained budget

>>716086919
I think your argument is disingenuous. The developer for E33 said it took less money to develop than mirror's edge. So we can assume less than 20 million. Mario Odyssey budget was around 100 million, and it's the same team that made DK bananza.

>>716087397
>The developer for E33 said
Well he lied.

>>716083497
if that were the case, then why have journalists been shitting on Nintendo since the Switch 2 released?

aren't nintoddllers sick of replaying the same shit

>>716087567
the new DK is 100 times more innovative then E33.

>>716085851
This but unironically

Doesn’t this site inflate Nintendo games and give them higher score?

The other way around, snoy pedo

Must be Korean newfriends

>>716087481
You're saying a small subsidiary of a private company that only ever made 1 game has more cash flow than 100+ million that odyssey team got for DK Bananza from the publically traded nintendo that holds shareholder meetings with blackrock and vanguard, where they tell nintendo what kind of corporate friendly themes to put in the game? Yet E33 is the "corpo" one?

>>716088101
E33 literally had bilions injected. They bought a manor and hired 500 developers out of nowhere. Lol, indie game.

>>716083343 (OP)
The people who make these threads have not played either game.

I don't get the appeal of rage-baiting here, you can go and get paid to do it on X

The games media has an obsession with baby Nintendo shit. Realistically the only respectable Nintendo franchises are Zelda and Metroid. Everything else is baby shit or anime weeb shit.

Why do tendies feel the need to have the last word in every conversation. You can't convince a single soul that Nintendo isn't a corpo shareholder puppet that will always put profit before (you). Nintendo stopped caring about making good video games after the Wii exploded in popularity. You guys are stuck in 2008-2012 and it's sad.

>>716088786

>>716088347
Let's say all of that information is verified and true. Which I haven't seen. With Bananza's 100+ million budget, and shareholder meetings shaping it, at BEST you're proving they're BOTH corpo garbage. The link you posted with staff size seems more credible, so I took the liberty to look up both mario Odyssey, and DK Bananza. E33's staff is listed at around 400, Odyssey's at 341, and Bananza's at a whopping 526! So they've almost doubled in size since 2017, and the budget might be pushing 200 million at this point.

Hook, line and sinker. Expedition Turdy Three is a succesful psyop to kick-start a new French AAA slop-maker after Ubishit died. The astroturfed "indie" game nobody actually wanted and its "affordable price" were the bait. Now, after a heavy shilling campaign on the internet and a decent amount of sales, they can push the game into even further relevance by arranging a GOTY win through corruption and succesfully astroturf Sandfall Interactive as the new Ubisoft.

>>716088786
Okay, fair enough. Sandfall itself is a private company. I don't understand how it's inconceivable to people that a studio without bloated middle management that efficiently outsources cheaper tasks to graphics designers and programmers in other countries cannot produce polished games with less than 20 million.

You'll see how right we are.

>>716089275
I guess it's blackrock/vanguard(nintendo) astro turfers vs ubisoft/tencent astro turfers, so both dk and e33 sides should stfu unless they're paid shills?

>>716089747
>blackrock/vanguard(nintendo)
Sure thing. Is that why the Nintendo movies feature an all-white cast?

>>716089808
Are you honestly claiming that Nintendo Ltd., a publicly traded company, whose largest investors are open data, is not in fact heavily invested in by asset managers because... it has white people?

Video game awards are so bullshit
Why is a hallway walking simulator with cutscenes like E33 competing against an actual game like Donkey Kong?

>>716089808
Acting like those 2 shareholders don't own both liberal and conservative media, and that racism vs anti racism is somehow "the mutually exclusive good fight" instead of a diversion created by both parties after occupy wall street made the 1% panic.

>>716090105
The videogame awards were created to attempt to prevent real games from bulldozing moviegames and walking sims by pretending the latter are better

Most of the award categories are designed so some moviegame, can get a dozen nominations.

>>716085851
>corpo slop like E33
Huh? What are you talking about retard?
Corpos are scared of E33 because it destroyed the "games need to be $80 + a billion microtransactions to be profitable" narrative. And the "single player games don't sell" narrative.
