maybe if you guys spent less time moaning about things like motion controls then i wouldn't call you guys on it so much.

See, that's the thing. As I said in my post, one can express an opinion, just as you have towards everyone else, and that in of itself is fine. But what this little quote of information tells me is that you have made it a mission to tell people off for not appreciating a game design decision. And at that point you're personally making an effort to give others shit for their opinions and what they are unhappy with for a product/title/whatever else.

In simple terms, you're intentionally trying to downplay everyone else' opinions because you feel yours are personally (and possibly objectively) better. You are suggesting that you wouldn't have to take the "call to action" to talk everyone else down if they just stopped saying things you didn't like hearing, completely ignoring anyone else' problems as if they're not worth talking about.

In even simpler terms... "You guys are wrong and I don't like what you have to say, so shut up"
oh please Phoenix for example is in basically every single Nintendo related thread shitting on Nintendo consoles and/or games.

he doesn't like Nintendo, i get it. fine, again, why the hell do escapist members such as him in particular need to harp on about that fact every single time Nintendo is mentioned?

Maybe they are subconsciously baiting you, because they know that 98% of the time you'll come in screeching "I LIKE NINTENDO!" :3

One can figuratively set their clock to, that when someone mentions a negative thing about Nintendo, you'll be there white knighting for them for whatever weird reason.


[HEADING=2]"Oh look at the time! It's Yoshi o'clock!"[/HEADING]​
Or if you're more into a cooking background;


[HEADING=2]"Oh look at the time! It's Yoshi o'clock!"[/HEADING]​

translation: you guys are just as bad as me but when you have a go me apparently it's "baiting" but when i have a go at you guys it's "whiteknighting"

Complete hypocrisy at it's finest.

Piracy you mean? Ditto every other game company.

If there's only like 5 games you want to play on any system, I'd say it's at least bordering on irresponsible paying $300 for it. There's more digital board games on the my $80 phone that are great games than the handful of Switch games I want to play. And all those board games were free thanks to Google Opinion Rewards. My phone is a far better mobile gaming device than the Switch could ever be for me. In my situation/preferences, it would be irresponsible to buy a Switch IMO.
Sure-- for you, given your personal preferences, which are not widely shared. So the "responsible adult" guff doesn't fly very far.

Watching you lads go at each other is kind of endearing in a weird messed-up way tho. Also, both Zontar and Saelune are gone now, taking their unresolved and very very angry sexual tension with them.

Someone needs to fill that hole. [small]Pun entirely intended[/small]

1) This is a W101 thread, which I will buy BTW
2) I only started posting in the thread because you're defending motion controls that everyone hates for some reason. Do you see me (or anyone else) defending the PS Move or Kinect?
3) You're in like every PlayStation thread for no reason.

You also love to bring up Medievil for whatever reason. You've probably mentioned it more online than the damn creator of the series that like nobody cares about. That would be like me claiming the Switch is nothing but rehashes merely because there's a Worms game on it.

Medievil 2 came out in 2000 and Medievil on the Rehashstation 4 is the SECOND time they've decided to rehash the first Medievil.

Backing up games is not piracy. I can buy a Switch game, back it up and play it on an emulator. I believe there's nothing illegal about that and it's definitely not piracy.

I feel if there's probably less than 10 games you wanna play on any system, it's not very responsible spending $300 for the "entry fee". That very much seemed to have happened with the Wii U.

The only emulator currently worth a damn is yuzu [https://yuzu-emu.org/game/], and so far out of the notable exclusives only a couple run with any kind of stability or performance while the rest doesn't even boot. While it is impressive development has already gotten that far, reliable emulation is still a few years out at least. So are you actually buying Switch games in hopes you can eventually maybe play them through emulation?

If that is what you're doing, I am amazed because you're the first I've ever heard of, but honestly, I think I smell BS.

Zontar is a thing I guess, but when did Saelune ditch? I thought they were the type to very firmly and forever fight for their want to be around here and have their political rants, and the Current Event forum filled that role? The recent posts don't show anything specific, so, got any idea what changed?

Yoshi178 said:

I went back in this thread just to be sure, and Phoenix didn't show up until after you started getting highly defensive about Star Fox Zero's control scheme and motion controls as a thing. Now, if they showed up first and said something about not liking them, it'd be a bit different here. However, they came in after the whole thing started and added their 2 cents. Can't speak to previous threads, however.

why the hell do escapist members such as him in particular need to harp on about that fact every single time Nintendo is mentioned?
The irony in this is incredibly thick and kinda tragic. You get mad at everyone else saying bad things about Nintendo, and yet every time someone says something about them that might upset you you're instantly there to defend their honour?

Yoshi178 said:

Complete hypocrisy at it's finest.
I should note I'm not trying to bait you myself, personally. I'm trying to help you realize that others can have opinions and say things you don't like, and that you don't have to come flying in every time to defend the Big N when it happens. You're approaching this all wrong, Yoshi. I don't think people are crucifying you for speaking your mind, it's how you've been going about it when you do.

This comes back to what I said before. Just like you can state your opinions, others can too. The key difference between you and everyone else is that you take their criticisms like a personal attack. You "call them out on it" as if they've directly insulted you. Any time anyone says anything bad about Nintendo you feel the seething, burning need to defend a company that doesn't need it, nor even see/care about you defending them. You're defending a corporation that doesn't know you exist. Why do it? The only reason why I that I can think of is that you've built some sort of identity with yourself with them, and so whenever anyone ever says anything bad about them, you feel like you're being personally criticized.

It's unnecessary. It's why people think you're a fanboy. It's why people call you a white knight. And it's why people can say 1 bad thing about Nintendo, set a clock, and wait for you to show up, just like Bluegate said. And no matter how many times people try to tell you this you refuse to see it. Whatever you think of me personally, I'm trying to help you, by showing you that it's ok to criticize a gaming company's decisions, take it as a learning experience, and discuss it, like normal functioning adults. It's ok to do that, Yoshi. It's ok

No clue, there's been nothing after her last post in the Chile riots threads [https://v1.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/707.1057497-Santiago-Chile-is-rioting?page=2#24324010], which was late november. I hope she's fine cuz she didn't strike me as the most happy and stable person. The kind who might resort to something very unfortunate, if you get me.

I haven't looked too hard into it yet but the Switch is built on pretty common hardware and emulation should come along pretty well for it, there is also a new Android emulator in play (far behind Yuzu though), which could come along fast due to the Switch being basically an Android tablet hardware-wise to begin with. I did look into Bayonetta 2 emulation for the Wii U (which works) awhile back to make sure I could play it because Bayo 1 was my favorite game from last-gen. Then, Bayo 2 (with Bayo 1) got put on the Switch (which I may buy at some point) and I also need to get a better video card on my desktop anyway.

I don't buy games until I'm actually going to play them or there's a sweet deal on them so no, I haven't bought any Switch games yet. Nor have I determined if I'd buy a Switch or spend that money on a video card (for emulation gaming + regular PC gaming).

The optimist inside of me likes to think they found some form of positive meaning in their life that now fills the void that they were previously filling with having online spats.

i actually own a PS4 and have been playing things like CTR Nitro fueled and Medievil Remastered on it.

unlike you who never owned a Nintendo Product in his life.

also i own all 3 copies of Medievil for PS1, PSP and PS4. i also own Medievil 2 on PS4 and that's correct, it pisses me off how they'll keep Rehashing Medievil 1 but Medievil 2 never gets any love at all and literally the only way to play it is if you own the PS1 copy, they need to remaster Medievil 2 for modern audience's as well

1) This is a W101 thread, which I will buy BTW
nah don't do that. it's too bright and colourful. it's cartoon "kiddy" looking stuff you wouldn't like. not enough grey in there.
also buying W101 means you'll be giving money to Nintendo since they co-own TW101 IP with Platinum. that'd be against everything you stand for

2) I only started posting in the thread because you're defending motion controls that everyone hates for some reason. Do you see me (or anyone else) defending the PS Move or Kinect?
do you see people talk about those products in the first place?

well i guess people talk about VR gaming and PS VR use's the PS Move controls and you love defending VR gaming so i guess there's that

Lil Devils hasn't been posting either.

The truth is that these are some sad, obscure forums who, if they're remembered at all, are known for bickering and negativity. There's not a lot of positive reinforcement that goes on around here. And folks just tend to drop out of social networks even in the best of times. It's possible that Saelune took some unfortunate action. Its far more likely that she got tired of coming onto here or got busy and has forgotten this place.

Heck, I gave Arnox's Escapist-replacement forums a go for a few weeks and had an okay time, but simply completely forgot they existed one day and never logged back in.

You didn't own a PS4 then...

And you're probably the only one that cares about the Medievil franchise, Sony should just sell you the rights.

I've owned a NES, SNES, and Nintendo DS.

The following is an excerpt of my post about which games I'm anticipating for 2020 and beyond:

well i guess people talk about VR gaming and PS VR use's the PS Move controls and you love defending VR gaming so i guess there's that
I've said VR is evolution over standard controls and that it's NOT READY yet. Do you know why PS Move and, to a lesser extent, Kinect is not talked about in the first place? Because you ain't forced to use that stuff if you don't want to. People only hated on the Kinect when M$ forced you to buy it with the Xbone initially. Much like the Wii U, I don't want to pay for a jankass tablet I'm not gonna use to begin with. And, then you can't use the Wii U anymore if say the charging port on the jankass tablet breaks (which happened to a friend).

See me in any of the Nintendo Direct or Metroid Prime 4 or Smash threads?

You're probably right. Best to ignore the dark places the mind tends to wander to and believe both simply moved on to bigger and better.

Ah yeah, Into Sanctuary, aka the Wild West but with more porn. Spent some time there too. Bailed when it seemed like it was turning into a juvenile alt right hangout. Dropped in today to see if things've changed. Apparently that version got shuttered and the forums relaunched. New version seems dead.

Watched some videos of this. Looks neat. Visuals and animation reminds me a bit of Sayonara Wild Hearts with just a little touch of Kingdom Hearts. Putting it on the watch list.
