@shrike0ftorns@PigeonGoGaming You don't understand profit vs revenue. That's your problem, and you think Destiny 2 and Forspoken are incredible experience better than anything Nintendo makes so I don't expect you to have good takes or understand much.

Writing in particular, story wasn't great, combat was ok, but lacked dynamic cohesive powers.
Performance at launch was sketchy. The world was big, but empty. Enemy variety wasn't great, boss battles were sometimes good, but mediocre a lot of the time.
And like I said, he has NO right to say Nintendo games aren't good when he's excited to play Forspoken.
@Septic_Sauce Honestly, not trying to troll. I would be surprised if she was still at Xbox and they still made consoles by the time all of this stuff comes out.
Thrilled to have received my giveaway copy of Ocarina of Time thanks to the amazing @PlayerEssence!! Shoutout to him for being my favorite YouTuber, the only one I have a membership for ๐ฅน Thank you so much, OJ!
@SwitchUpG@DRAGONZORD91@DMC_Ryan It's absolutely disingenuous to say Mario Kart World isn't a system seller when it's sold 16 million copies (what Ryan is saying)
@SwitchUpG@DRAGONZORD91@DMC_Ryan I feel you, but your opinion on if a game is good or not has no bearing on it being a system seller.
Only facts and what people are buying do.
@Superstraight00@LandoVelez83 Yes, because MSRP is 100% confirmed in the US as $69.99 for DKB. Him randomly getting the game for $40 last year has nothing to do with this.
I think this deal is being reported wrong or the messaging from Nintendo is weird. It says starting at $39.99, not all these games are $39.99.
Cause it says $20 off MSRP. That would make Donkey Kong Bananza $49.99, not $39.99.
Not hate at all Switchup, just want to make sure I say that. But...
What are those mechanics that make the game "not good"? It has better and more advanced mechancis than all of the previous Mario Kart games (unless you like Snaking or something?), let's be real here. Anti Gravity isn't some crazy good or awesome mechanic in Mario Kart 8. That game's mechanics are insanely basic compared to Mario Kart World.
Not sure how other MK games stand the test of time when they offer less content and mechancis tbh. I don't think Ryan even cares about Mario Kart or thinks any of the MK games are system sellers, he simply doesn't like Mario Kart much.
What is a "true legendary" system seller? You just making up definitions SwitchUp because you guys don't like Mario Kart World instead of just looking at the facts. It sold 16+ million units, reviewed well, controls well, plays well and continues to help sell the system in a big way. That's the reality. You don't have to like a game for it to be a system seller, you need to simply look at the facts and that's it.
@DRAGONZORD91@SwitchUpG@DMC_Ryan Mario Kart World is good tho by any objective measures that we view games being good. Controls, graphics, features and review scores are all good.
Peeps just spazzed out because of the $80 price tag. If the game was $60/$70, nobody would even say it was bad.
