Is Nintendo the Apple of videogames?
>Retarded loyal fans
>Overpriced underpowered hardware
>Games are always expensive
Apple products sell well, so no.
Apple products are overpriced but they are not underpowered
Apple fans are nowhere near as pathetic.
>>342856982
I'mma go copy his "Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below" review and post it when zelda BOTW comes out, seems like it'll fit perfectly.
I'll probably be able to paste his uncharted collection and bloodborne review right after it without any problem
>>342856840
>Apple.
>not underpowered.
>>342856840
They kind of are thanks to the software. OS X is notorious for having outdated graphics drivers.
>>342856840
>Overpriced: More price than power
>Underpowered: Less power than their price dictates
Since they are overpriced, they are, by definition, also underpowered
>>342857367
You're no better than him at that point you drone. Nobody is going to give you attention for posting a review even though you haven't play the game.
>>342857521
>>342857530
but you see, Nintendo's stuff is so retardedly underpowered it's the laughing stock of the industry.
Apple's stuff is not that weak.

You should try using stuff before making claims about it.
>>342856982
I see absolutely nothing wrong with any of this. That guy has impeccable taste.

It was a joke, you understand that?
It should've been pretty obvious if you ask me.

>>342858018
that's not relevant at all.
>>342855668
Nintendo gets away with a ton of Shit Apple could never do.
Apple actually needs high end components, high end screens, and they also own they in-house processor design team.
They have to plaster their products with technology and aluminium finish to make it sell.
Nintendo can make do with coloured Fisher price plastic.

The screen in those macbooks are high end technology.
The processor in those are expensive intel processors.
To make an equivalent to Nintendo, Apple would need to sell a Pentium 3 laptop today in 2016.
Because that's what Nintendo is doing, they are selling you the same PPC 750 CPU core from the Gamecube from 2001.
>>342858147
A joke is funny and make sense unlike yours. The only thing that applies to Breath of the Wild is the frame drops, and those will be fixed in the NX port anyway. It would have been better if you actually made that joke with Hyrule Warriors since it would actually make sense.
>>342858540
B-but Sony
Also lots of those things can apply to Nintendo as well.
>>342858262
The only thing it really sucks at is playing games and video editing but you don't buy a fucking macbook for playing games, neither do you buy any other laptop for it.

Not really.
The Wii and WiiU are similar to an apple device in that it's somewhat limited and designed to be extra friendly and intuitive to people not as adept with technology.
The consoles before that are nothing like apple in that regard however the companies method's of conducting themselves, their methods and support for 3rd parties, and way of releasing games was similar to apple
>>342858664
>The processor in those are expensive intel processors.

>>342858306
Have you felt the build quality of any first party Nintendo controller before? They make the highest quality accessories hands down. Scart cables made by Nintendo are still seen as being the best cables you can get hands down, and fetch hefty prices.
>>342858842
They are still high end technology compared to Nintendo 2001 cpus.
>>342858796
>>Welcome to consoles, you must be new here.
I'm not talking about games

>>342858687

Exactly, Macs are underpowered and therefore they cannot do performance-demanding tasks.
>>342858667
>It would've only been funny if you sucked nintendo's dick
>>342858664
The microarchitecture on the Wii U's CPU is similar to what they used for Gamecube, but it's absolutely not the same CPU.

Exactly, the CPU core is the same. The exact same one, and they haven't bothered to ask IBM for the sucessors to them because they are goddamn jews.
>>342859328

>>342859550
>It would have been better if you actually made that joke with Hyrule Warriors since it would actually make sense.
I didn't say choose his Hyrule Warriors review, I didn't even see it. I said you should have copied and pasted that whole Dragon Quest Heroes into a Hyrule Warriors review to be extremely specific.
>>342855668
The console industry entirely is pretty analogous to Apple.
>>342856982
This guy is so /v/ it hurts.
>>342857521
apple is not for gaming it's not underpowered for it's intended use, just expensive
>>342860212
I thought you meant that I should've picked the 10/10 hyrule warriors review to apply to botw.
Also the fps thing isn't the only thing that applies, the draw distance does as well.
>>342858802
>intiutive to people not as adept with technology
You mean ALL consoles then. Or are you trying to say an Xbro/PS4 dude who owns FIFA and CoD and shit is adept with technology?
Let's face it, the Apple of vidya are all consoles.
>>342857521
Apple is underpowered for the cost, which doesn't apply to >>342856840.
If you shell out insane amounts of money you can get macs with fucking ridiculous overkill hardware, just not the same kind you'd buy for a gaming rig because macs aren't made for games.

No. Apple actually has a popular (and profitable) mobile device for gaming.

>>342856982
Etrian Odyssey IV is great though
>>342856982
This is all fanboys in a nutshell. Doesn't have to be Nintendo. This includes you fags that say X is the worst fanbase while eating shit from whatever platform you like.

It's okay when Nintendo does it. If anyone else would've made an FPS but said "but it's not really an FPS! Don't call it one!" they'd be laughed out of town.
>>342855668
Nah, they're the Disney.
>>342858796
>getting this ass blasted that someone called out sony
Calm down, jesus. Though he is tight about sony being the worst fanbase, all sonyggers do is shitpost and make threads about how anything that isn't sony is trash and the fans of that thing should kill themselves. Anyone who refutes this has their head too far up their own ass the be reasoned with.
>>342860383

What Nintendo lacks in hardware it has in software.
Nintendo games can't possibly be compared to Apple's crapwares
>>342862826

Honestly, though, who actually takes metacritic seriously? You can't even shitpost about it without pretending to be oblivious to its intended purpose.

I like the Prime series, and they're fantastic games. The combat could've used some work, but as a whole, they were great.
All I'm saying is that all those drones that were like "Don't lump Metroid Prime in with FPSes. It's a first person ADVENTURE not an FPS" are just special snowflakes. The game is, by definition, an FPS. Yes, it has a focus on adventure and exploration, but it's an FPS regardless.

The lock-on system means aim isn't really a factor, which really supports the idea it's not an FPS. Plus a large part of the can is puzzle solving, scanning, and platforming.
It's a shooter/adventure game hybrid.
>>342862762
I actually never called you a retard.
But now I will, you're just as retarded as me for not understanding the way I interpreted that one post of yours.
Fuck you throwing some oil on a dying fire.
>>342864363
>The lock-on system means aim isn't really a factor.
That's just a design choice to compensate for the limitations of the input method/the fact that it's on console. Most if not all console FPSes has aim-assist or a variation of it (lock-on, auto-aim, etc). I'd assure that had the Gamecube had KB+M support (or was a native PC game), the combat wouldn't be so reliant on lock-on.
>>342855668
It's funny how desperate the sonyfags are to discredit nintendo. Always a ton of screaming after E3.
>>342864363
It's not like precision aiming is some defining trait of the genre. Doom had no vertical targeting and it was pretty lenient with horizontal targeting.
>>342862484
The retards are dying out, but there are still +10 million of you left this generation.
>>342855668
That sounds more like Sony.
But Microsoft has the blind drones now, considering its all they have left besides faggot yt gamers.
Nintendo consoles are still a superior option for people who want to join the idort club. WiiU, despite its small library, still offers better variety of exclusives than PS4 and Xbone.

>>342867372
Don't fret. PS4 is next on the list after 3DS and WiiU.
>>342866953
Like Bayonetta 2, and...
I think that's all. Don't start naming Nintendo shovelware.
>>342868076
I didn't tell you to like all of them. You made a challenge in variety of exclusives, and that's what you got. And that's 2016 alone.
>Half the price of the PS4 and XBone on launch
>Overpriced hardware
>>342868480
Considering the CPU core in the Wii U is the same CPU core found in the gamecube from 2001, yeah that's overpriced shit.
You are defending a company who are recycling 15 year old technology now.
>>342868218
Don't be like that, anon.
>>342868613
As if you aren't already paying for pathetic hardware at despicable prices when you purchase the other two options?
If you buy Nintendo, you get cheap as dirt crappy hardware. If you by Microsoft/Sony, you get hardware that was already considered dated by the turn of last decade at a steep price point.
>>342869105
You mean to imply the three are equal?
The PS4 and Xbox one is equally as bad as the gamecube CPU core?
That's quite the desperation.
>>342868218
idort here, PC + WiiU/3DS is the best possible purchase I could have ever made.
Plus, Win10 is basically an Xbox now so two birds with one stone.
So yeah, you want to win this discussion way too hard, or you're just fucking stupid, anon.
>>342869385
Not the other guy, but I think the one who is trying very hard is you.
You're trying desperately to sell the nintendo devices to me as good purchases.
Meanwhile my PS3 is still getting games and will outlive your wii and your wii u.
>>342869385
I'm just saying that there's nothing in the Wii U to justify it buy. So, i would go PC/PS4, as i like it exclusives more.
>>342868368
Most of that list is multiplat.
If anything, Valve is the Apple of videogames.
>>342870435
Lots of them are. But many of them are playstation exclusives too, so they are still nice options if you don't own other playstation consoles.
And there still are a lot of exclusives there.
>>342869653
>PS3
>still getting games
What notable game has come out for PS3 in the past three years that wasn't a cross gen multiplat?
>>342870626
Why does that matter to you? You own neither PS3 nor PS4, so you are still "excluded" from those games.
>>342869653
>desperately
>sell to me
With all due respect, I don't care who you are or what you buy, so please take your head off your ass. Are you always so egotistical?
I don't know anon but I thought it was pretty obvious we were talking about "current" gen, having a PS3 is a given as of now.
>outlive
Yeah I guess 200+ hours and counting on Sm4sh alone doesn't really count as playtime because it's multiplayer right? I guess not everyone can have friends.
>>342870047
That's ok. It's the reason you choose one console over the other, or should be. Personally, I PS4 exclusives don't really interest me, I was hoping to see something on Deep Down this e3 but eh.
>>342855668
You forget
>heralded as innovators when they're usually not the first ones to try something, just the ones that make it popular.
>>342870768
I own a hacked launch model PS3 with full backwards compatibility, and I threw in an 1TB internal hard drive.
There is a PS4 also in the household. My roommate (as woefully misguided as he is) happens to own one.

>>342872030
A wave of Sonygger newfags is coming
I'm scared
>>342855668
Nah, Apple is more like The Sega Genesis (Trendy, style over substance, profitable but lower market share). PC was Super Nintendo (Everyone has one, much better features, fucks you up with backwards ass policies, better game support), and Linux was the Neo Geo (Only appeals to a very specific demographic, more powerful than it's competitors, a bit too much of a hassle for most users).
>>342872030
This would explain why /v/ has been filling with sony fanboys the last couple years. Polls reveal that the average age of boards tends to stay the same over the years, with only a few growing older. This means we're getting massive numbers of ponies whose first console was a psx or ps2.
Microsoft will probably start getting more popular again on this board in 5 years or so.
>>342872148
>Sega still makes awesome games to this day
>>342872148
What is the last great game Sony made?
The last one Nintendo made is Xenoblade, but it's been years since a good Sony developed game came out. Not exclusive, developed.
if you havent noticed the influx of underage faggots already you just might be one of them
>>342872505
Soul Sacrifice Delta.
>>342872531
Just the other day there was somebody asking in a topic why people were quoting the OP and not responding to him, multiple times in fact.
Holy shit /v/ is doomed
I don't understand how there can still be Nintendo fanboys. The N64, Gamecube, and Wii were pretty bad, but they still had a few interesting games. The Wii U doesn't seem to have anything worth while though.
>>342872775
Same reason islam has a lot of fanboys. Childhood indoctrination is a scary thing.
>>342872775
Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Splatoon, Dong Kong Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3, Smash, 3D World etc.
Wii U has plenty of great games. Just because they don't interest you specifically doesn't mean they aren't good.
Why even be a console fanboy? Why hate what other people like while offering free marketing for a corporation that gives 0 shits about you?

Make no wonder your country is police state.
Enjoy your choice of cuck porn, you stupid fuck.
>>342873056
Yeah, but while those games are good, none of them are really legendary or anything. I don't think any Wiiu game has achieved the status of Ocarina of Time, SSM, or Xenoblade.
>>342855668
No, all consoles are the apple of video games. They're all expensive and they're all overpriced underpowered hardware
>>342874381
Has any game done that this generation?
>>342874381
I would argue Bayo 2 and XCX are legendary.
Bayo 2 is one of the 4 best action games ever made, and XCX has one of the most beautiful open worlds ever created in a video game.
>>342874729
Xenoblade X played a hell of a lot better than the original, but I miss the awesome storytelling so god damn much. Bayo 2 may be the best at it's own genre, but it's too niche to gather enough attention in my opinion.
>>342874729
Bayo 2 is too familiar and XCX, while big, was boring and plagued with technical issues. I wouldn't put either in the same league as OoT.
>>342874660
Hate me if you want, but I think Undertale will be remembered for a long-ass time to come.
>>342875331
Outside of shitposters Undertale seems to have already been forgotten by a lot of people.
>>342875115
>Xenoblade X played a hell of a lot better than the original, but I miss the awesome storytelling so god damn much
I agree, but it was another step in Takahashi's master plan to create his dream game, this time was about creating a massive open world. He's said the next installment will be more story focused.
>>342875119
Bayo 2 being familiar is a good thing. It's probably the most well polished action game ever made.
>>342874381
>I don't think any Wiiu game has achieved the status of Ocarina of Time
Name one, ONE game that has the status of Ocarina of Time.
>>342875553
Final Fantasy VII.
>>342875553
Dark Souls.
>>342875553
Ocarina of Time is an EXTREMELY over rated game
Sure, i am not denying that it's an awesome game and extremely influential but god, it had aged a lot.
