The sooner the general population understands that the vast majority of people don't care about pixel counting the better we can move away from this crap.
Nintendo doesn't "get a free pass" there's plenty to criticize and people are vocal about it.
As it turns out Nintendo just knows how to make banger after banger.

Every system gets a free pass from fans of the other systems.
Everyone's guilty of thinking it to some extent I believe and I do think that when it comes to reviews that there is obviously some allegiances to franchises or platforms. Everyone's human and like many have said. Who are the platforms with the most users so statistically there is a higher chance of more fans of that platform being in positions such as reviewers.
Saying that, Nintendo has never failed me. The most fun I have with any platforms titles and thats what its all about.

Its one think hating a console like the xbox or ps.
But hating on a console that appeals to all ages and introduces millions of children to gaming is the most batshit insecure thing I have ever seen.

Nintendo are like Labour in the Welsh Valleys. They could release a breeze block, put a Nintendo badge on it and it still get at least a 9 out 10.
In just the same way, the sheep will always vote Labour here in the Valleys.
Both are vile IMO

They don't get a free pass from me for missing quality standards in a 80€ 1st party title. (Donkey Kong)

I don't think there are many specific Nintendo haters. After the disappearance of a main enemy, the console war is only slowly shifting toward the Nintendo front.

I honestly find it hard to defend any of big 3 at the moment. They all do stupid and/or abusive things.
I'll keep my ps5 for the rare moments of clarity Sony has and makes a game like Astro Bot, but I've already started researching prices/parts to get a gaming PC.
Not only for new games, but for old ones I really miss playing too, like Heroes of Might and Magic 3 or the original Diablo.

If you're hooked on your PS5, you can just grab some old rig from around 2014 as a used system. A GTX 970, 16GB of RAM, and an i5 can often be found for under 100 Euros, and that's more than enough for retro gaming pre-2010.

What would I need for Baldur's Gate 3?
Just to play it decently, not max it.
Cakeboxer

Absolute minimum is
i5-4690/AMD FX 8350
8 GB RAM
GTX 970/RX 480 4GB
970 seems to work pretty well:

I can go up to 700€ for a pc, so I'll surely get something better than the min specs. Thanks!

100%. 700€ will get you a decent rig for example with an Intel Arc B580.

But it works. Every single time he repeats the exercise a multi-page thread erupts. Should make a forum, make a bunch of alts and generate traffic by triggering people using the alts. Fuck it, we're all sheep.
don't do it

Nintendo franchises change quite a bit, and not always in ways I like. Though often in ways that make them more popular and increase sales. For example, they no longer make the kind of Zelda games I fell in love with, they make a different game that sells many dozens more millions units.

Idk go through my post history and find outThe fact that you were saying fuck Nintendo in a thread that had nothing to do with Nintendo is pure derangement
You would also say fuck Sony and fuck Microsoft and fuck PC because of flaws right? No you don't hypocrite.

It's probably just easier to accept that most industry pundits, journalists and personalities are salaried fanboys. For the overwhelming majority of them, working in the industry isn't just a way to make rent, it's a dream come true and those dreams are tied up in all the starry-eyed wonder these companies inspired as them as youngsters. Expecting them to review things the same way you review an air-fryer or cordless drill; to maintain consistent standards in review, is a way to get wound up fast.

Switch 2 is actually a switch pro which is scam also. But You are not ready for that conversation.
It's only a "Pro" if new consoles need to have radically different hardware, or radically different games. (In which case we can make the case that the PS5 is also a "Pro")

Aw is the hypocritical Sony jabronie upset because most of their franchises don't get to have sequels or play the same as you said?
Don't worry you'll get your Last of Us 1 and 2 remakes again and even more God of Wars.

I think if DS Lite had been called DS 2, people would call it a BS scam because it was just a smaller leaner DS.
I think if PS4 Pro had been called PS5, people would call it a BS scam because all it did was play PS4 games better, without any exclusives games or even a better CPU.
But Switch 2 is like 10x more performant than 1 with exclusive games not possible on Switch 1? So where does this come from?

On PC there was TEN first and gamespy before Live came into existence. There was also MSN gaming but I believe that gave way to the hopes of Live revenue for MS.
I see Pokemon as a low-budget game made without love. It still sells.

Nintendo has been the worst "winner" or best seller since Wii. Switch 2 sales don't change that image Nintendo fans constantly shine them up to be. And if it was consistent then they would admit that while sometimes criticizing the competition for doing the same things they're doing.

Nintendo is insultingly egregious in its anti-consumerism, but the hard fact is that gaming companies suck period. It's 2025 and many people still don't seem to get that.
I am a PlayStation only gamer. Sony is not my friend. Sony is not my ally. Sony is not looking out for my best interests. Neither is Nintendo, Xbox, Valve, Google, Apple, Epic, or anyone else I failed to mention. To these entities, we are resources to be harvested and disposed of. Anyone who is walking around with a brand loyalty mentality thinking that they have some kind of special relationship with their monolithic corporate overlord is not living in reality. They have crossed into that space where they have made a corporate brand their identity.
I game on PlayStation because I like their hardware, their software, their ecosystem, and it all fits well into my playstyle. Like any corporation, sometimes Sony makes moves that I am not a fan of, or outright disagree with. Because they're a massive corporation whose goal is to make as much money as possible. This silly narrative that some companies are heroes and others are villains is ludicrous. They're all villains.
Nintendo's largest problem in this capacity is that their greed and entitlement is sometimes so profound that they allow the mask to slip and show the entire world how little they care about gamers and emphasize that we are just walking piggy banks to be gobbled up.
There will always be a subset of people on any platform who will follow it into the fires of hell, cheering on the worst and most anti-consumer of decisions because that corporation they've chosen to sell their soul to can do no wrong in their eyes. It's a very sad, childish state of mind but these people will always be there to carry the proverbial flag no mater how ill-treated by their masters they are.

Well, unlike Nintendo fans, I'll be the first to criticize Sony even if I've been on Playstation since the 1st.Aw is the hypocritical Sony jabronie upset because most of their franchises don't get to have sequels or play the same as you said?
Don't worry you'll get your Last of Us 1 and 2 remakes again and even more God of Wars.
Now, if you like playing Mario kart 37, good for you.

For all brands there are hyper fans that don't allow criticism, and hyper fans that criticize because they are fans.
Sorry, you aren't special. I just came from another thread where I criticized the new Mario Kart (which would have been impossible had I not played it). Find a better way to troll Nintendo fans than these mental gymnastics.
