    Nintendo Nintendo's FY2026

    Someone who has done creative shit wouldn't pussy out of realistic settings and would be able to work in those constraints and put out a creative work nonetheless. It's impossible to argue with you because you always come up with these "just trust me bro" statements that you've seen somewhere...

    Discussion TGA GOTY 2026 - Sponsored by Doritos Pope

    Holy shit, the takes just keep getting worse and worse. All three of these games have sold dozens of millions, or in GTA5's case hundreds of millions in the years since they launched. They were so outdated at launch that one of these games is still frequently in the top 20 annual sales charts...

    Discussion Xbox falsely claims it "pioneered" the dual analogue controller. - Push Square

    Yeah, they tried all the designs and then said "fuck it, it works for Microsoft so why not for us". They finally settled on the same design principles Sony and Microsoft already figured out by the late 90s/early 2000s. How anyone can look at a N64 controller and a Switch Pro controller and say...

    Nintendo Nintendo's FY2026

    No it isn't. The only thing "ugly" about it is the models as you walk around the environment because of poor or non-existent anti-aliasing (something a Nintendo fanboy will be all too familiar with). The game looks great in combat and the UI elements and other hand drawn art is top tier. So is...

    Discussion TGA GOTY 2026 - Sponsored by Doritos Pope

    If Skyrim beat it last time, GTA6 will wipe the floor with it this time lol. And yes, if Bethesda drops a Skyrim remake next year I also don't think that should be winning or even nominated (that being said, Skyrim probably aged a lot more poorly, just look at the Halo 1 Remake). Just as...

    Nintendo Nintendo's FY2026

    Lmao, technical mess? Maybe on Switch 2. They mostly run fine on stronger hardware and it's not like their games are real time action anyway. It's turn based + visual novel, who the fuck cares about technical performance. Square-Enix has gotten their things in order years ago. They've been on a...

    Discussion TGA GOTY 2026 - Sponsored by Doritos Pope

    Yes, that's kind of the point. It's seen as one of the greatest games of all time and now that the control/graphics barrier is removed for audiences who never experienced it, it's the perfect chance for them to experience it for the first time. But the majority of the game was already there. And...

    Nintendo Ocarina of Time Remake is now the highest rated Metacritic USER review game ever

    I can somewhat understand dunking on shitty games by using good games as ammo, but pitting two GOAT franchises against each other is just retarded when you could be enjoying both.

    Discussion Xbox falsely claims it "pioneered" the dual analogue controller. - Push Square

    They didn't go "back to N64/GC style", wtf are you smoking man? Their current controllers are clearly a 1:1 copy of the Xbox layout just with A/B and X/Y swapped (to be fair it's Xbox that copied the naming scheme of Nintendo's face buttons and swapped it). They have very little in common with...

    Discussion Who should be making our games?

    Back then it was still a mostly new frontier so there was no institutional knowledge or something you could train for. Developments were happening so rapidly you couldn't realistically do that anyway. Someone who would've went for a master's degree in game design or whatever in the early 90s (if...

    Discussion TGA GOTY 2026 - Sponsored by Doritos Pope

    It's a bit of a tricky situation, some 1:1 remakes like OOT, RE4, Dead Space etc also reshuffle some levels and add/change the controls so it goes a bit beyond a remaster. But it's still mostly sticking 90% to what was already there. Remaster to me is a game still running the original code...

    Discussion Grand Theft Auto VI

    The difference is that GTA6 is going to have tons of NPCs and real time simulations while FH6, GT7 and DS2 are mostly static worlds that you can just traverse through.

    Discussion Grand Theft Auto VI

    Your eyes adjust to it. At least mine do. Switch 1 OLED was very popular and almost every game on that system was locked to 30 FPS (and sometimes not even able to hit it lol). I feel a lot of people get put off and immediately switch back to 60 FPS or say that it's unacceptably bad and drop the...

    Discussion TGA GOTY 2026 - Sponsored by Doritos Pope

    The people nominating the games have been playing GTA6 for weeks now. Them finally being able to have their critical opinion of the game out in the open is more than enough to determine whether it deserves to be nominated. Whenever review scores drop for games and it lands around the 90 or above...

    Discussion Xbox falsely claims it "pioneered" the dual analogue controller. - Push Square

    Bullshit my ass lol, acting like they just naturally arrived at the Switch Pro controller/Joycon layout by iterating on the N64 design is cope. Xbox pioneered 90% of the layout they use today with the OG Duke controller back in 2001. As you can see the GameCube controller is still a mess with...
