Saying Shenmue wasn't a good game is an understatement. It's basically a menial task simulator held on a pedestal by insane Sega fanboys who were desperate for the "next big game". Fucking people should be embarrassed and castrated so they can't reproduce.

I love my Wii. But, I still think Wii U has some better iterations of Nintendo's franchises.

Mario Kart 8 is better than Mario Kart Wii.
Wonderful 101 is brilliant, and does a decent enough job of making the gamepad essential.
Super Mario 3D World is technically a better Mario game than Galaxy games. (although we can argue those are better experiences).
NSMBU is the 2D Mario perfected.
Splatoon is the best shooter in quite a while, definitely the best multiplayer game ever from Nintendo.
Super Mario Maker is a wonderful take on 2D mario.
You already mentioned Captain Toad.

Then we got Bayonetta 2, which wouldn't have existed without Wii U.

So Nintendo is the Mario Console. What about for people who don't want to play Mario titles? You could have at least pointed out Tropical Freeze--which I do think is one of the best DK games to date--rather than going for NSMBU which is a tweaked version of a Wii game, or Super Mario 3D World which is pretty much inferior to Galaxy in every way--and I am no fan of SMG. Mario Maker is a good idea, but it suffers much in the same way all games reliant on user-created content do, 99% of user-created content is hot garbage. Captain Toad is a new branch of Mario so I'll just toss it in there, and like I said, there's only so much god damn Mario you can get people to play.

Splatoon is okay. I tinkered around with it at a friends house--I was amazed he even still had his Wii U--and it was an enjoyable game, but I have already been having similar experiences for years elsewhere. On top of that, I hardly think it's Nintendo's best multiplayer game, when we're talking about the people who brought us various versions of MarioKart and Smash Bros.

Shenmue isn't a fun game, but it is a good game btw. It brought one of the most realistic gameworlds ever, and raised the bar on the amount of detail in a game world.

You already mentioned Tropical Freeze, didn't you? That's why I didn't bring it up again.

But, 3D World is not an inferior version of Galaxy. Not even close. Like, we're way off topic, so I'ma just leave it there. But, ya, no. That's not right. Also, Splatoon is brilliant and one of the best shooters in quite a while. But, you really have to take time to get into it to appreciate what it is and what it offers.

But, opinions, mane, we all got them, amirite?

Edit: But your last line is my entire point. A game is supposed to be fun, first and foremost. That's like, to me at least, the entry price. There are different ways to quantify fun that isn't just "pure joy" (Super Mario 3D World) or amazing graphics (Uncharted) or awesome gameplay (Binding of Issac). These are each "fun" in a different quantifiable way. Shenmue is just none of that to me. It's a chore.

PoliGAF can't go two days without talking about videogames! This is why Clinton needs to ban them.

SM3DW doesn't have as much filler as Galaxy did and the bonus worlds shot the game up pretty high for me.

I bet that's an original Gameboy. I found mine a few months ago. The glue dried on the little screen thing but it works flawlessly.

Anyway, any idea as to when we'll see the national polls drop for the debate? Feel like it should be soonish?

Wasn't like that during the Summer.

After an entire year of crazy it's just a bit much, so until the debates there really isn't anything to talk about right now other than coughing or shenmue

But that cough though. She hacked out her lung. She's 99% dead already. Sad.

 

[Geg]

Splatoon is GOTG for me, definitely my favorite multiplayer game Nintendo's come out with.

Also why is #TrumpCantSwim trending

I'm pretty sure Chelsea is backpacking through Dobuita asking some Sailors how to get her hands on some ancient Chinese medicine

 

[Iolo]

We'll get national polls within the next two days I think but holiday weekends always seem to affect their reliability. And these polls may not be the ones they use for the first debate.

I'm pretty sure Chelsea is backpacking through Dobuita asking some Sailors how to get her hands on some ancient Chinese medicine

Has she tried a Chinese restaurant

Personally? I think a necromancer would be of better use.

Maybe go to Nanda Parbat and see if we can use the Lazarus Pit.

 

[kess]

People talking trash about Shenmue reminds of people giving Sonic CD shit even though it's better than 95% of 2D platform games ever made. Shenmue isn't the kind of game that was designed to explode heads on "fun factor" alone.

I wonder if the Cheetos cheetah is an example of "so edgy it's adorable in a way that feels non-ironic."

the cheetos cheetah is the last totally radical mascot standing

they revamped Chuck E. Cheese last year, now he's edgy in an early 2000s way instead of an early 90s way

The Chuck E Cheese shit gets me. Because, 80% of the times I go otu to eat, it's Chuck E Cheese. Such a mess. He looks ridiculous.

Beats me...

I used optics about Sanders once so apparently saying it's bullshit here means I'm a hypocrite.

Optics is fine occasionally but in a thread about a cough? When it's literally the main argument used after every bullshit Clinton controversy? It becomes the press inventing.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

If you engage in Hillary health conspiracies, I think you should be banned from communicating over the internet.

Could always be worse.

Spoiler

They could keep re-litigating a 7 month old post that didn't even address them every time they get overly pissed off about something on OT, which means all the time because you already know who this post is talking about

In other news, Miami still kinda sucks 13 years later.

Someone should tweet the USC poll to Trump today. He lost another point. lol

That thread is awful, but I expected it.Hilary does not care about the conspiracy theories about her health anyway. I don;'t think these conspiracy theories about her health will hurt her in the polls at all because I don't expect many people outside the internet to care much about it just like people did not care about attack ads that attack the quality of a politician's hair in the Canadian federal election last year.

 

[thebloo]

Hating on Shenmue is like hating on Mr Rogers. It's not right.

As a heavy smoker with occasional coughing spells, apparently I'll never be able to be President. Sucks. I also like to sit down while other people are giving speeches.

It's all a bunch of bullshit. And if you support a racist man, you should be banned for LIFE!!!!11!1!

Running out the clock is a shitty strategy against an opponent that gets so much free media.

But what the CNN/ORC poll proves is that Clinton not campaigning for close to a month means enthusiasm among her supporters has gone down.

What the hell happened?? Are you kidding me? I know we can say well it's just one poll blah blah but isn't labor day when the polling really starts to count more?

I paid less attention to the news after the convention hype started to die down but what the hell did Hillary do to make this race so much closer again? Was it just that she needed to campaign more?

 

[nature boy]

Yeah, I want to think it's an outlier, but ABC/WaPo showed her unfavorables going up as well.
