Nice to know Yahtzee enjoyed the game. It is weird of him liking a games multiplayer more then the single player but it's fine. Also I don't blame him refusing to call it ink when it's more like paint cause I had that issue at first.
I would. The same two maps gets boring if you've already committed an afternoon to siting down and playing a competitive shooter. There are also multiple issues with how joining friends works, or rather how difficult it all is, and in general, just goes to show how far behind Nintendo's online gaming model is compared to the Xbox One or the Playstation 4.LordTerminal said:See Yahtzee, it's not that hard to make a fair review about a Nintendo game. And by fair I don't exactly mean, "he likes it".
Except they didn't. Unless you're talking about the whole "rotate the maps" thing. I consider that more akin to Animal Crossing where you have to wait a few days for certain stores to be available. It's part of an incentive to keep you playing the game. Whether it works for a shooter or not is debatable, sure, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that they fucked up the online with it.Thanatos2k said:Sounds like classic Nintendo. Get the core gameplay right and then fuck up the online.
Eh. Squids make Ink. There are actual Ink rollers and colored Ink in real life, so using that in the game seems fine. I almost think he decided to call it Paint instead and make Ink puns just as the gimic of the video, like doing some in lymric or with accents, or Tomb Raider without mentioning boobs.Kyle Davis said:Nice to know Yahtzee enjoyed the game.

Really looks like shit to me. It's a single-weapon console-shooter with a focus on shooting the static environment over other players. I'm sure it's extremely polished, but the core concept is one of the worst in recent memory.zelda2fanboy said:I guess I was correct in thinking this game looked fun.

Concepts are meaningless on their own. The execution is what determines if it's good or not.Sotanaht said:Really looks like shit to me.

You can polish a turd, but it'll still be a turd. Execution won't make a good game out of a bad idea.Enlong said:Concepts are meaningless on their own.

That's what happens when people don't pay attention or try to create arbitrary limitations because they realize the facts are not in their favor. It's not that Nintendo doesn't creat new IPs, it's that they aren't allowed to because that ruins the illusion of Nintendo being some old fogey that is out of touch with the world when in fact they're more cautious about getting into certain things because they realize slippery slopes could happen. Such as with DLC which they saw how exploitative and lazy devs were and didn't do that. They saw the issues of online multiplayer such as people ignoring most of the maps and weapons for arbitrary reasons and decided to design the game to avoid that. They essentially used an entire gaming industry as a beta tester to see if trends would continue or just vanish into nothingness as well as to see what worked and what didn't.BiH-Kira said:Monolith Soft is a Nintendo first party studio bought several years ago. In 2007 to be more prices. So it's a Nintendo game, a new IP. Unrelated to their other IPs.
Gambarion made Pandora's Tower, at Nintendo's request. The IP is owned by Nintendo. It's a new Nintendo IP, unrelated to their other IPs. Same goes for The Last Story and Mistwalker and the W101 and Platinum Games. Both IPs owned by Nintendo.
Not sure if IS is a 1st or 2nd party Nintendo studio, but they are working exclusively for Nintendo since they were created back in 1986 and everything they make is paid and owned by Nintendo.
All of the games I listed are are new IP's, owned by Nintendo.
Also as for Wii Party, I actually meant to write Wii Sports. But even Wii Party is a new IP.
I was mostly under the assumption that Nintendo didn't create a lot of new ips because most of the time, they can pitch some new concept or idea easily under the line of an already existing franchise, for better (Smash Bros, Luigi's Mansion) or worse (Kirby's Epic Yarn, Starfox Adventures). I'll certainly acknowledge that, while part of me wants to say low hanging fruit, the Wii Series of games is a valid ip, as is admittedly Tomodachi Life. Even still, it's a token game here or there that's entirely new and that is developed entirely by Nintendo itself, rather than a 2nd or 3rd party studio (and on that note, I've got a good argument for the difference between 1st and 2nd party. Age of Ultron is totally a Marvel Movie. It just so happens that it's being bank rolled and then making money for the House of Mouse. It certainly isn't a standard Disney Movie. For that matter, the same can be said for Pixar as well, which is why Disney went back to them after Chicken Little).Aiddon said:That's what happens when people don't pay attention or try to create arbitrary limitations because they realize the facts are not in their favor.

I'd hesitate to say any idea is inherently good or bad (unless we're talking about an idea that's racist or otherwise harmful, I suppose) as a concept alone. Any idea can sound amazing or terrible depending on how you phrase it (did you know people actually like a game in which you fight nothing but bosses after spending an hour riding across barren land with no music between each one? How about the game about moving low-poly cubes?), but they have no qualiy, positive or negative, as just an idea.Sotanaht said:You can polish a turd, but it'll still be a turd.

No, it's actually a well defined line between first and second party.FillerDmon said:@Bih-Kira, I think the difference is in recognizing whether something is First Party, or Second Party, even though that isn't exactly a term used much in the industry, due to the fact that the publishing company retains such a level of control over the second party that it is basically part of them. Most of the above are on a technical level Second Party, but such things normally aren't recognized as such. Not quite fully Nintendo, the way Mario, Link, Samus, and Pikachu and friends are, but close cousins. Hell, even Donkey Kong was born from and still made by a Second Party Company, so he's like a First Cousin Once Removed.
Wii Part is part of the "Nintendo Wii" series, including Wii Fit, Wii Sports Resort, and other "Wii" games.
Annnnnnd now im drunk . . . . .marioandsonic said:Wait wait wait!
Before I watch the video, I want to try out my "Yahtzee reviews a Wii U game" drinking game:
--Take a shot when he makes fun of Nintendo fans in general
--Take a shot when he says Nintendo rehashes their franchises
--Take a shot when he remarks about the Wii U's hardware being underpowered
--Take a shot when he complains about the Wii U gamepad
---Two shots if the game is 100% compatible with the Wii U Pro controller
Wish me luck!

You have betrayed all of squid kind. Purge the human! Rend it in twain with noodly appendages! Burn the remains as best you can, but it's alright if you can't what with us being in water and all. Don't worry too much about the salt. I'm fairly sure a saline solution will suffice.FPLOON said:What can I say?

I learned all the maps for Team Fortress 2 because I was able to choose which one I wanted to play on. Likewise, I thought the End of the Line map was rather easy to understand, but that's another issue all together.coolbond said:the way the map system is right now is so you can have a chance to learn the maps and with a new map comming every week(according to nintendo), it wont take long until you have mastered all maps
