Because deep and mature games don't exist. Its simply brought out by people over analyzing games.
>>
>>339137374
because nintendo is family friendly aka for kids
nothing wrong with it tho, we should only kill all manchildren since they're the real problem

Because at the core games should be about gameplay. Some fucking retard started the whole muh photorealism, muh games need deep stories bullshit, but that's literally just the modernized streamlined approach.

Nintendo games are more game than your fucking deep storydriven games with literally no gameplay but fuckloads of cutscenes. Suck a cock

These. Besides, we already had games like Other M try to be borderline mature, and look how that turned out.
>>
>>339138114
so mature games can't have good gameplay?

wtf is so deep about the concept of life and death? it's in every single game.

>Nintendo games are more game than your fucking deep storydriven games with literally no gameplay but fuckloads of cutscenes

why the fuck was Twilight Princess full of shitty handholding and tutorial crap and environmental cutscenes in every single dungeon, way way more than OoT even dare to do? same handholding crap in Skyward Sword. the reason for that is because of edutainment because literal 9 year old children pick these games up first and throw a tantrum once they can't progress.

there still isn't a good zelda clone for a mature audience (don't say Dark Souls, that's not exactly Zelda either)
>>
>>339138450
Let's see unlike most other AAA games Nintendo games (Before Neo-Nintendo ruined everything) have always been:

Well designed
Polished
Complete
With almost no bugs

just like Square Enix.

>>339139045

Neither of those games were published by Square Enix though, and the SNES was pratically dead in the west by the time they would've come over. At least the DS was backwards compatible so could play Mother 3

>RPG
where? just becuase you level up doesn't make it an RPG
>>
>>339139516
excuse me?
once you have a spreadsheet for stats and skills as well as leveling up and numbercrunching for each and every single factor and percentages for buffs and resistances and what not, then it clearly is an RPG. even most of these things run in the background like in Skyrim, then it would still be an RPG.

Nintendo is afraid of plots and characters.

They don't want to offend the Soccer Moms of the 30 year old man children who still buy their games.

>>339139892
it absolutely does.
there would absolutely be no way to know - straight judging from the gameplay alone - if something is an RPG or not. RPG genres are entirely defined by what the gameplay is about and nothing else. if you argue going by completely narrative measures only, that's still all very arbitrary and won't help you finding out whether something is RPG or not.

>>339137374
Because japan like kiddy games

If this was true than why do people enjoy xenoblade? Certainly not for game play

Also Metroid

It's more fun when a game takes itself less seriously and avoids being just a giant cutscene with predetermined platforming like uncharted, witcher, or final fantasy.

I think he meant Darksiders. But what's so mature about Zelda to begin with? Lets take OoT for example. It favored 20fps and auto-aim over 60fps and skillshots.
>>
>>339137374
>deep and mature games
What does that even mean?
Are you talking about themes and story? That's generally lumped in on top of games and Nintendo's deal is just making games that are games and slapping standard fantasy stories over them.
In any case, if you're not completely braindead, every nintendo game has a cool narrative that just isn't spoonfed to you, but figured out by paying attention and playing it.

So really, OP, you're asking
>why does nintendo not make movies with button prompts for me and my dudes to post about on facebook

Either that or you want edgemaster, weeb shit with vapid gameplay and a nintendo logo plastered onto it.
>>
>>339147995
>what's so mature about Zelda
The same thing that is mature about LotR, and immature about GoT.
>>
>>339141182
>Horror
>A mature genre
Horror is literally only entertainment for edgy kids. Where do you think the connotative that kids like edgy stuff comes from?
Horror is that shit you watch as an 8 year old. With friends. It's literally the lowest common domino genre.

>>339148134
If you can't answer my question don't bother replying. I don't follow ecelebs so namedropping them is eagerly immature of you.

>ecelebs
Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. "Theme" has a far more mature aspect to it than 'vulgar content'. This is what kids don't understand. Blood and gore != maturity.

OoT and MM have far more subtle approaches to the darker themes, and as such manage to intrigue a mind far more than any story point in AC, CoD, and other AAA games.
>>
>>339138114
Max Payne had gameplay and a good story unlike MGS which is literally a movie series
