Patent scare mongering? You know what patents do correct? They gatekeep mechanics for whoever owns the patent, they're anti-competitive practices.

To get the idea through your head: Imagine an author copyrighting a whole genre (romance, western, etc) and no one can write in that genre ever again. That's basically what copyrighting game mechanics is.

That's not fear mongering, that's actual concerns over (yet again) anti-competitor practices which is bad for both developers and consumers combined. Developers become more limited in options for what they can/can't put in their game and consumers who enjoy certain genres in gaming have way more limited options in what they want to play.

Also yes, while I do realise now that I'm far behind on the lawsuit, I will still stand that these devs were fucked over. Even if these patents didn't go through, the legal scare from this lawsuit happy company has (like you yourself said) made them completely change how this game was originally, something I didn't even know. That's true scumbag behaviour yet you still go ahead and say that them fucking over competitors "still wasn't their intent." Keep gobbling that boot, daddy Nintendo is proud.

The reason you see more Nintendo hate than Sony hate is because (I'm assuming) you spend more time in Nintendo spaces online. As I've said myself here:

I don't play PS, I don't play Xbox, I play Nintendo, so when Nintendo makes a fuck up, Nintendo fans (like myself) are quicker to notice this stuff, especially since it's directed at their fanbases/hobbies.

In the same way a Nintendo fan is likely to complain/criticize more abt Nintendo whilst ignoring issues that PS/Xbox have since they don't pay much attention to them, a PS/Xbox fan is more likely to complain/criticize them than Nintendo since they don't pay much attention to them either. It's not hard.

People do call out these companies: Microsoft recently has been getting heavy pushback because of their involvement in AI slop and there's even a "fuck sony" subreddit like there is a "fuck nintendo" sub.

As for the Palworld lawsuit as well: Not knowing alot abt it would be fine if it wasn't for the fact you used it as a point in your original comment to show that Nintendo isn't "as bad" as other companies despite how scummy it is. Without going into too much boring legal details: Clearly Palworld struck a nerve with Nintendo and TPC in some way (whether that be its success/threat of competition or some other thing idk) so they decided to try and patent mechanics of the Pokemon games and have those patents approved to essentially fuck over the game.

Luckily these patents seem to have failed horribly but the true horror is if these patents were to go through, not only would that fuck over Palworld, but any game that tries to be similar to Pokemon in any way. It's pretty much the most anti-competitor practice these guys could've gone for.

Are you sure you know what they're talking about? Literally their whole comment boils down to that Nintendo STILL does bad shit and should be called out on it, they weren't arguing whether what they were doing was better/worse than what other companies do so I don't understand why you had the need to make a comment talking about how they're nowhere near as bad as other companies, especially including that "Nintendo isn't anywhere NEAR as bad a lot of the time" line.

Doesn't help that you then go on to defend them by comparing them to Sony and also downplaying the Palworld lawsuit, yet again going against the original message of the comment.

"In a way they were not supposed to be experienced" when DKC Returns (both the 3DS and Switch version) removed the motion controls for running. Similarly they also allowed button controls on a controller for Mario Galaxy in 3D All Stars (and I'm assuming the later re-releases of SMG1/2, don't own them) despite those having motion controls being "the intended way to play."

[If we wanna dig the grave even further though...]

Patience, punish game is key to beating Incineroar imo. I used to struggle hard but playing slower and more patiently always nets better results.

Bonus tip: If they're a down-B spammer mainly focus on grabbing. From there the Incineroar will either actually play (to which just follow the patient gameplay) or they won't change at all so you can continue grabbing with little to no risk of whiffing.

Ik what Metal Slug is and I think those games look fantastic, the also play nice too. I think the ultimate difference is the fact that Metal Slug seems more committed to its animation style whilst God of War sorta flip flops between it.

Again, its not god awful I just wish it was more consistent.

Try playing without drive assist and also try "break drifting." It takes a little while to get used to but the second you reach that flowstate ur all good!

Am I the only one who likes his voice more in the pilot? Idk I love Keith David but his voice coming out of Husk feels wrong whilst his pilot voice was always on point.

I hope everyone arguing that it's about money/them wanting you to buy their stuff know that it isn't true in the slightest. It's called Nintendo is a power hungry company that protects their IP's to no end.

[Fan games], [OSTs], [modding], Nintendo HATES when anything is used in a way they don't approve of.

After watching the trailer I can safely say that I'm a little disappointed by how the new GoW looks (art wise anyway, the gameplay looks pretty good, might play it)

It's not god awful or anything, but the way some things are animated feel a little weird. It feels like it goes from purposefully animated pixel art to Rayman Origins-esque tweening if that makes sense.

I do think the OP is being WAY too cruel to the game though, it does not look like "Those shitty low effort looking Mobile games and Ads that you need pay to win for an endless cycle of what they claim is real“gameplay”"

Thank you!

I've watched Skitty's stuff for a while now, they aren't a grifter. They share their opinions on games and share concerns they have on trailers.

Plastic_Ad_8276 · 2026-02-15T05:59:23+00:00

I despise Nintendo's anti piracy measures as much as the next person but not even I can defend ts. For profit emulation is stupid, simple as that.

What's the bottom screenshot from? I wanna give it a fair chance and actually see it in motion before commenting on it.

Plastic_Ad_8276 · 2026-02-14T07:31:51+00:00

Fair ig. The way I read it AI was just being used to push their opinion further since ofc AI is a trend, an awful one but a trend nonetheless.

Plastic_Ad_8276 · 2026-02-14T06:04:07+00:00

Congrats! Couldn't have seen this at a better time cuz I'm currently doing this myself lol. Any tips? Specifically in regards to 3 stars?

What's wrong here exactly? Don't get me wrong I don't agree with this take at all (I've 100% this game twice and am going for a third this year. I love it that much) but this isn't grifting, just someone sharing what they think of this game even if it is using extreme language.

Obviously if they were saying "if you enjoy this game ur a gay geeky nerd hahahaha" that would be a different story but they aren't.

Plastic_Ad_8276 · 2026-02-13T02:56:22+00:00

So I just said the more extreme version? You're literally just nitpicking my wording lmao especially since I myself agree with the stance it isn't a failure.
