I genuinely want to not worship Nintendo, please help

Sorry, I don't have the cure for autism.
It's not worth it.
I entered a "nintendo is kiddy! I don't play nintendo!" phase when I was 15, and then stopped being edgy when I turned 20 (took me long enough, I know).
I had to put up with a lot of backlog I missed in those 5 years, I regretted being an idiot who deprived himself from enjoying good vidya for 5 years. Not worth it, OP.
If you MUST, at least be sure to come out of that phase quickly, don't be a retard like me, 5 years of edgy feels pretty bad when you grow up and realize how much of a stupid teen you were.
I'd say 1 or 2 years of edginess would be enough. but again, only if you must. if you can avoid it, all the better.
>>318066321
You can like nintendo without worshipping Nintendo.
That's what I do.

nice post, OP. why u samefagging though?
>>318067415
No anon, that would be a reasonable thing to do. Don't you know that there is absolutely no middleground between loving and hating something?
>>318067415
This.
Why everyone on /v/ seem to have the mentality that if you buy a game from a company you have to swear allegiance and never criticise them? You can still praise Nintendo for the good games they make while also criticising them for their shit policies and some of the shovelware they poop out for their consoles.

>Why everyone on /v/ seem to have the mentality that if you buy a game from a company you have to swear allegiance and never criticise them?
Because people here are retarded.
>>318066321
When was the last time nintendo really did something totally fucking awesome anyways? I havent cared about nintendo since I had an n64.
>>318067415
Fucking this
I love Nintendo but I'm happy as fuck since people are more openly criticizing them more
>>318066321
>WHY DOESN'T NINTENDO GROW UP WITH ME, FUCK THE NEW GENERATION
>>318066321
Have you tried not buying a game? I didn't buy Pokémon ORAS and I've been Ninty Free ever since!
>>318066321
>funnest
They haven't done anything worth worshiping this last gen
>>318066321
>be me
Why does every retard always start off stories that way?
People don't actually worship a company right?
Like no one is that pathetic and disconnected with reality
>>318066321
so you basically admit that you are a hopless, hot pocket stained permavirgin basement dwelling NEET manchild?
>>318067257
Here is another one.
>>318066321
Why do you want to hate nintendo if you like their games?
>>318067257
>I almost became an adult before I realized my life goal was to become a manchild
>I could have been succesful in life but now all I do is talk about kids games in indian streetshitting boards and I'm ok with it
>>318069303
nice projections bro
mommy couldn't afford more than 1 console when you were a kid? I can see the trauma, it's gonna haunt you until the day you die.
>>318066321
>live alone
>play whatever the fuck I want
its fucking grand. Smash and Splatoon are fun, so I play them. End of the debate.
>>318069276
Too much escapism has clouded their minds and made them think they can be anything but themselves.
>>318069276
It's a meme ya dip.
>>318069358
>I could have been succesful in life
Nah, I was almost getting into MOBA and all that shit, but thankfully I steered away in time.
I dunno about kids games, I've been enjoying stuff like Bloodborne and Bayonetta 2 lately, those are "rated M".
I also have a successful life (if by "successful life" we mean having a good job, a gf, friends, etc), but I still like video games and I post on 4chan because fuck reddit, facebook and other social networks. What's wrong with that?
>>318069609
Yeah, this format is old as fuck.
Fucking newfags
>>318066321
Same
I hate their business practices, I hate their censorship, I hate the fact that they feel the need to go after AND ONLY AFTER, the kid demographic.
But they still make the best games in the business imo
They REALLY need new management, all around. I'm talking Nintendo of Japan, NoA, etc. NoE is probably fine though.
>>318069303
>so you basically admit that you are a hopless, hot pocket stained permavirgin basement dwelling NEET manchild?
This is basically me to a T though, only you wouldn't think I was if you just saw me.
>>318069416
projection of a projection?
>mommy couldn't afford more than 1 console when you were a kid? I can see the trauma, it's gonna haunt you until the day you die.
Yeah, because I was a N64 kid. Parents should have known better and bought me a PS1.
At least after the N64 I dropped Shitendo and still turned out ok, unlike you fat pathetic permavirgin autistic manchildren.
If you are over the age of 15 and still play MUH NINTENDO there is something fundamentally wrong with you as a human being. You are not a functional part of society.
Don't hate them then.
Besides, they have some of the best girls.
>>318066321
I don't mind Nintendo catering to kids, I just wish they'd pander to slightly more mature kids.
In other words, if they continued pandering to kids as they were in the late 80s and 90s (AKA NOT FRAILIST WEENIES) I would have no complaints.

Jesus Christ anon, you need to take a break from /v/.
>>318069921
I dunno, you are the one who gets mad at video game companies. I just enjoy video games, I'm don't worship Nintendo, but I don't hate them either. You see, I don't invest personal emotions with companies.
Also, thanks to admitting you are, indeed, 15.
>>318067257
>not liking Nintendo games makes you an edgelord
thanks for the laugh f.am
>>318070801
Not liking Nintendo doesn't make you an edgelord.
Hating them, however, does.
You're having an emotional response to a company.
Love or hate, both are strong feelings.
>>318070584
I do not get how people can have such fierce brand loyalty or worship companies and celebrities.
>>318066321
xbot here, grew up playing nintendo and then abandned them during the ps1 era. dreamcast opened my eyes to embrace gaming instead of being a shitter who bashes games from consoles i didnt own, currently i enjoy nintendo titles a lot but my main is xbox to play with friends, am sad that nintendo aint doing so hot nowadays.
Can't we just all play games we enjoy and get along?
You don't have to hate anyone, play what you like.
>>318072106
>Can't we just support ALL sports teams? Why do we have to cheer for our favorite?
Sorry but you can't have hugboxes along with serious discusions
>>318072529
But I didn't say you have to cheer on and support everyone.
I just said you don't have to hate anyone.
>>318072529
Pretty much this. The problem with video game discussion is that people treat them as sport teams.
Most of the time it's because most people here are too young to have a job so they can't afford all the stuff they'd like to, so it's just easier to shit on the stuff they don't own.
Study hard and earn money.
>>318072792
>here are too young
do we really need to repost bbs discussions about the n64 and ps1?
>>318072106
No
/v/ has become to big for its own good, too much people
>be me
Back to Reddit with you.
>>318072889
N64 and PS1? How about NES and Commodore?
Anyway, I said most people, not all.
Of course there's bound to be a few older nerds who actually get emotionally invested and become cheerleaders for this or that company, but MOST of the time, I'd like to believe it's just kids being kids and bashing the console they don't own simply because they can't have it.
I used to have a die-hard Sega fanboy friend when I was a kid, and in fact he was the one who introduced me to Sega. At the time I only had a NES and SNES and didn't know what Sega was. He kept telling me how Sega was better, and I ended up getting a Genesis from my grandma because I genuinely became interested on Sega. I was not disappointed.
The kid always treated Nintendo as kiddy, not as good as Sega, and used catch phrases he'd read on Sega ads on magazines at the time. I just thought it was funny but I didn't think Sega was better than Nintendo or viceversa, as I had both systems and was enjoying both.
Long story short, one summer I went with my family on vacations, and lent him my SNES and games.
Him and his older brothers loved it, so much that they eventually sold their Genesis to buy a SNES.

>Basing your opinion on a video game company on aspects other than their video games
That's like saying you like Shaft-produced anime not because of the anime but because the staff members all go out for drinks every week

i don't get the point of the image. What are the arrows and question marks supposed to be indicating, and what's the basis for determination?
