The same old shtick gets tiring in a while, there's a reasonwhy the hate bud?, if you can't take the heat you wont last 20 years here like me
Just have fun.
Yeah that was good! You fucking got me there! Well played sir!That's because kids are more on Youtube. Real adults are watching PornHub.
And how would people had knownMaybe if State of Play had shown games like Ape Escape, Sly Cooper, Jak & Daxter and SSX then it could have been more exciting.

It seems many people are more hyped by the new Donkey Kong Direct than the latest games showcased by PlayStation and Xbox, as shown by the viewer numbers and likes.
Oh, I know shilling is not a banable offense, but trust me when I say that stuff like this goes beyond that:If occasionally shilling for your console of choice was a banable offense, you would be on the same chopping block (and so would I and 80% of this forum). None of those users are are drowning the forum in pages and pages of disingenuous console war spam the way that many of those who have caught bans did.
This GOTY talk is kind of meaningless in the overall picture, especially for Nintendo games, where Western critics always preferred Sony games for media awards.
In 2020, Animal Crossing: New Horizons should've won over TLOU Part 2, but sales metrics fortunately were there to tell the real story between those two games.
2020
TLOU part 2 - 10 million units
AC New Horizons - 47 million units
This GOTY talk is really dumb but sales numbers speak louder than critics awards.
Astro bot - 1.5m
Mario Odyssey - 30m
I think Kotaro is more at a risk by his dumb as fuck threads than anything else.Ah, the Death Stranding, where the first game sold less than the Kirby game and managed to score many awards thanks to Western journalists for Sony games.
2019 results metascore and sales
Smash Ultimate - 93 MC and 33 million units sold
Death Stranding - 82 MC and 3 million units sold
Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.Despite being banned, Giga is the talk of the town in every Nintendo thread. Dude is eternal!
I really don't understand the stance, GigaBowser is coming back at the end of this month, but others got permanent Bans.The same old shtick gets tiring in a while, there's a reasonGigaBowser is where he is now.
What are those comparissons ? JesusOh, I know shilling is not a banable offense, but trust me when I say that stuff like this goes beyond that:

no, the dk model looks like shit and the game looks like it will get repetitive fast.GOTY 2025, told ya
I'm not surprised at all.
Since the 80's/90's they continue to have a brand that's associated with extremely memorable characters that people have been very familiar with for several decades. No matter what any one else says, no other brand can compete with that. Though Sega comes pretty damn close. Playstation is definitely next on the list as they certainly had memorable characters at some points, but nowadays that doesn't really feel like the case. Even moreso with Xbox.
I miss the era where each platform had their own exclusives/characters/IPs you'd associate with each one.
Nintendo = Mario
Turbografix-16 = Bonk
Sega = Sonic
Playstation = Crash Bandicoot
Xbox = Halo
Don't like the level design/environment, wish it was full tropical & jungle setting :/
Right?! Astro Bot is great, and maybe that can be their new thing. Hell, it SHOULD be. But it's hard to not think it'll end up on the wayside someday just like everything else did.Yeah, it is sad that the other iconic figures in video games fell by the wayside over the years. PlayStation is trying to build that with Astro Bot, but good luck competing with 45 years of nostalgia that Nintendo has.

Yeah, no kidding, no one can really compete with that. Everyone knows who Mario is and what to associate him with.
Live service is what dominates PS and Xbox ecosystem these days. No matter how much PS hardcore fans hyped Astro Bot, the reality is no one in that ecosystem cared and it sold about as much as low efforts Wii or 3DS ports on Switch did. While games like Donkey Kong Bananza will outsell that stuff on like day 1 on a minuscule install base. People don't buy classic games on Xbox or PS anymore, only caring about stuff like CoD.
It was at around 2.3M+ in early 2025.Do we have sales numbers on Astro Bot?

PS TaxCrazy the State of Play has almost 20% dislike ratio there.

I really do wish things were different for the Dreamcast. I'd love to live in a world where Sega still had their own platforms. They had some great IPs too, I still can't believe how many of them they just neglected. They're at least revisiting them sometime soon, hopefully everything is at least decent.That explains why Sega was forced out of the hardware business.

Definitely, especially for a semi-new IP.That's not bad at all for the kind of game it is, I'm sure the budget wasn't sky high either.

Some folk are just too serious all the damn time. While I like Xbox more than PlayStation, I will always call them out on bullshit and poke fun at them. It's just video games. Maybe us older folk are just past that pissing contest shit. Like ford vs Chevy stupidity.

Tons of different channels were streaming and reuploading State of Play and Xbox Showcase, which wasn't the case to the same extent with this Nintendo Direct.
Why? Now they can release their games everywhere. Everyone wins!

Avowed is amazing. Give it a shot. I'm sure it'll be better than Ghost of Sushi 2 later this year.
I know I'm ready to fuck Donkey Kong
Ready to beat those bare cheeks
Now that you say it like that... it's true, isn't it? When was the last time a Donkey Kong game got the full "AAA" treatment, backed by Nintendo? Donkey Kong 64?Man I am so loving this Donkey Kong hype train. I've been waiting so long for the DK series to get the AAA treatment again and it looks like people are really taking notice!
Returns and Tropical Freeze are absolutely amazing with the later being an absolute master piece. But I've always known that without a big ambitious 3D game, modern audiences wouldn't give it as much of a chance.
Man I hope this gets to be one of those 20+ million sellers! It will ensure DK will get major games consistently for the next 10-15 years.
