I definitely prefer Mario Kart to this Wipeout. I wish that show and the games based on it never existed.

I heard some of the recent censorship wasn't just Nintendo. I heard about something in Uncharted 4 being censored/changed.

edit: found out what the change was. A skin to make Drake look fat was removed.

You can keep saying this until you're blue in the face, and it won't make you any less incorrect. 
No, it's you. It blows...... please check your micro aggressions.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

Having to pay for online multiplayer is terrible, but at least they added some value to the service by giving you extra discounts and some "free" games every month. Sometimes the games are even good! But yes, Sony & MS are also far from perfect.

@Satori: The Xbone started out as a total train wreck, but MS has done a good job listening to and reacting to criticism. They've turned things around quite a bit since the initial reveal. With Nintendo, it's as if they exist in a bubble where nothing gets through, for better or worse (mostly worse).

And wi-fi sucks for multiplayer games.

You have a point there. Did you know that the latest Smash Bros had it's story mode cut because the cutscenes for Brawl's were posted by people online?

I mean... Really, Nintendo?

I'm just holding out for Strider to state Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a better game than Majora's Mask.

I'd love to see that in type, in a public forum.

I'm not bothered about the NX. If there are good games on it I might buy one, but brand loyalty is dumb. As are Amiibo's. I wouldn't go near anything like that.

I can't believe they got away with the WiiU. Everything about that console was dreadful. I hope they pull back from designing games around stupid controls gimmicks.

They need a slap.

I don't think it's this thread so much as it is "NX" itself. I'm still trying to figure out who THEY are thinking is going to pay for it. The masses are nothing if not passionate. Rave is upon us.

Small game related advice: OoT is a slow burner initially. It's rarely mentioned but the game doesn't catch fire until Link Quantum Leaps to the Hyrule end-times because everything before is masked training. Stick with it.
Not sure if I can do that. Not much of a handheld guy. It eventually wears me down... and of course don't own one. I also have the master quest on GC here somewhere.

I remember Majora's Mask not working in emulation (actually, you could get up to the end and then the emulator went tits up) for ages and I eventually had to play the GC version (which was also emulation, but of course better). Makes note to self: buy Wii cables and play.

Well... I can count on them to destroy their IPs. :P I'll settle for that. But yeah, all their best talents are long gone, sadly.

Would still be pretty hilarious, though.
Yeah well, I hope a publisher/developer you like goes under too!
I've already seen it happen to a ton of them. :(

I haven't played Lords of Shadow, but it probably is better than Majora's Mask. Most things certainly are.

Please... I take that bet and raise you.... Metal Gear.... TWO is better than Majora's Mask. Let's skip the little leagues bitch.

Let's not forget you mentioning that you played through Call of Duty on the 360 and thought it was solid entertainment.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

He once dug into a garbage can to watch an animoo about a fart sniffing frog, and then complained that everything is shit. I suggested he try something that hasn't been living in a garbage can; but he refused.

I think he has a fart sniffing fetish maybe tbqfah

Ha ha, insta-quote! :lol:

MGS2 lolz, that is brilliant. A defining moment in awful taste right there in immortalised type. Appreciate you feeding my amusement.

The first CoD? Yeah it was pretty good fun when it first came out, I thought the campaign and multiplayer were fairly well executed. I couldn't have been massively wrong about that - it went on to become the biggest FPS on the planet and was subsequently regurgitated into the ground and made dull and trite. But initially it was good fun.

I'm not sure how you can ever make a legitimate comeback for the rest of your life though after stating CLoS and MGS2 (mercy!) Are better than Majora's Mask. That's an embarrassment factor off the chart (and exactly what I was looking for, so thanks for walking into the rake!)

You are pretty gullible and directed Skykid... go play COD. Throw in some Britney Spears while you do... it sold well.

Please post more text walls so you can enjoy reading your own drivel.

Should I mention Futari being a good shooter so you'll drone on how amazing DOJ is? Or should I mention Death Smiles instead.

That is if you have time from writing a wall of text about how amazing of a movie critic you are inbetween your Majora's Mask JO session.

Regardless feel free to compensate for a small cock by calling anyone who doesn't share your taste in anything as stupid.

PS: Justifying your opinions based on sales numbers, I expected more from you. That's a gamefaqs level retort. You've been playing to much Pokemon while going down on your latest 3DS model.

Oh , that image was just a response to the thread briefly degrading into copy and pasting the same sentence over and over.

I know they're genuine. But they've shown that there's nothing that can be done to abate their condescending tone, so it's not worth my time (nor possible) to try and have an actual discussion with them.
