I think they were implying specifically how he doesn't like paper mario now.
I mean I agree. Sticker star/color splash fanboys say it anytime criticism comes up.
I think 3D World is a worse made and worse playing game than Sunshine.
I don't know his views on Paper Mario and don't particularly care about his thoughts on Paper Mario either way.
no one is saying that he *can't* criticize the game, it's just that his criticisms tend to lean more toward something not being what he wanted it to be and not criticisisng the thing that it is. imo reviews should always lean to the latter not the former. he's still allowed to do whatever he wants, it's fine, but i think people's issues with the way he approaches a lot of this stuff is valid
That was a legendary two week span. Death stranding, then swish, then game award nominees revealed. Those threads were crazy.
There were also the people telling Ono to fuck off because of his weird comments on bringing more Street Fighter to Switch and then they go tell people they are toxic for being negative about Pokemon.
Have you ever tried saying something negative about a Sony or Nintendo first party game (or nearly first party in Pokemon's case) on era? I get more notifications than on my birthday. People can't handle negativity at all. This thread is not surprising.
I think a thread for sms vs 3d world would be really interesting. Though I get the feeling my opinion would be in the minority.
Well I suggest you watch Girlfriend reviews.
Random nobody edits in a laugh about accusations of attacks against the person instead of their arguments.
He's going for a deadpan/dry style to clash with the sillyness of a muppet.
The girlfriend part of the review was fine. The boyfriend part at the end was kinda pathetic though.
This sounds like a flimsy defense against any criticism. By definition if someone complains about something aren't they saying they think it should be different, and not what it is?
Blaming the game being rushed for some of those issues is unfair though. A lot of it is down to tradition and nostalgia. I hate things like "Pokémon wants to learn a new move, but they already know 4 moves" because the UI is clunky and it's slow. But they've clearly kept it purposefully. The issues many have with Pokémon (and I appreciate many more people don't find these issues, but still) are not just due to the rushed release schedule, but also the culture of GameFreak.
Feels like the entire battle system is made to be fully text based but with animations slapped on top. If two people get hit by Sandstorm why does it do the animation then tell you who got hit by it one at a time? If there is a critical hit why is that shown with a slow "Its a critical hit" dialogue instead of an animation/visual effect? Everything is so slow it feels like it is still 1995.
Except some people began to insinuate that the girlfriend was not providing her opinion at all and that all of this was from the boyfriend since he writes the script. And were telling people that Girlfriend Reviews were no longer fair and good because of that revelation that apparently didn't matter until the negative Pokemon review.
People are bothered by him because he's one of the few Nintendo centric reviewers who's not afraid to say it like it is. He doesn't sugar coat things.
Well nintendo is era's favorite company to bootlick
You're entitled to your opinion, and I like Sunshine, but it's so clearly unfinished and the camera is such a busted piece of shit that I can't wrap my head around actually feeling this way.
Links Awakening was and is a gorgeous and charming remake of the original.
