Really stimulates the grey matter

really stimulates the grey matter

No one was expecting Xenoblade 2 to be part of this "triforce" of Switch titles. Just a dumb meme you all got roped into; you have no one but yourselves to blame. Now can we shitpost about something else?

Xenoblade: the JRPG series for people with literally no other choice.

Why would anyone be surprised by this? Since when is Xenoblade regarded as iconic as Zelda or Mario? Its just a jrpg franchise. A great one, but still, not in the same "guaranteed 90+ scores" league

We all knew it wasn't going to outsell Mario or Zelda, but we just hoped for a game that don't give us the feeling of an early access / beta test.

>but we just hoped for a game that don't give us the feeling of an early access / beta test.
trying a bit too hard there user

Did you mean this?

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 = hello neighbor levels of polish FACT. Nintendo is garbage they should personally apologize to everyone who bought this catfish of a game.

Wouldn't Xenoblade be on top then since that's the failed one?

I like how we've reached a point in consolewar shitposting where something getting an 85 on metacritic, which is an objectively good score by any metric, is toted around as THIS COMPANY IS FUCKING DEAD RIP
Don't own any modern gen consoles btw, only last gen's stuff. Just giving my two cents.

too hard user, too hard

I think people forgot that the first Xenoblade was a cult hit.

:( It was too hard. Why couldn't the game just be nice and easy for me. I tried to get my mom to finish the level but she just said she had to get ready for a date with another boyfriend. Life is hell user. And damn if Nintendo isn't out to make it actively worse for me.

This is so much better. Too bad newfags won’t get it.

Yeah, Nintendies are the most thin skinned, most easily triggered and the most bitter and vengeful fanbase on this board. They started this shit years ago and still keep going at it, pouring gasoline into the fire with their daily WHY DON'T YOU OWN A SWITCH YET and NINTENDO WON threads and that's not even the tip of the iceberg.
Nintendo hasn't delivered in almost two decades now and yet they act all arrogant, high and mighty as if they had the (moral) high ground and the start all end all rights to decide what video games constitute as good and which aren't - and of course everything MUH NINTENDO is 10/10 GOTY while all the rest is trash. With that sentiment they not only piss off Sonybros, but basically rile up the entire video games company against themselves.
They are also literally the jews of video games players. If you call them out on their bullshit they instantly go defensive, crying about the holocaust and how they are the oppressed, innocent victims, while alwasy remaining passive-aggressive fucks continuing to stir up shit underhanded.
No wonder people get fed up with them and start pushing their shit in.

This is my observation I made over the years here. Have been playing PC exclusively since forever. Gamecube was my last console and despite all that Nintendyearolds piss me off the most. If I could I would send them off to their own containment board and that is by god the truth. If those autistic screeching little jewlike eternal victim claiming manchildren are gone I am certain this place would become significantly less shit.

idk, maybe because they tried too hard to make it an anime game?

Zelda and Mario are still pretty grounded by their universes.

is this pasta?

>we've reached a point
Huh? We reached that point like 10 years ago. It is shitposting, none of this is supposed to make sense.

You were pretty delusional user if you thought the international press would let an JRPG like XC2 get even close to a 97.

>don't care about BotW too much, might get it once released in Nintendo Selects or something
>bought the Switch for Odyssey and Xeno 2, both being great

Nobody is forgetting that. Any game that gets talked about a lot/shilled before release gets a shitposting backfire if it's not a 100 on metacritic.

this.
I currently only own Odyssey and it made me feel good about my purchase since I know more is coming.
Meanwhile I'm still waiting for some games I'm interested in to be announced for PS4, after N.Sane Trilogy I've had nothing to play.

I'd say Prime 4 will be the real 3rd piece of the tri-force

>Sonybros are such newfags they don't even know the right way to failed triforce
Sad! Many such cases

what's the point on posting this same picture over and over again in this board?

WOW..... REALLY ACTIVATING MY ALMONDS WITH THAT DEEP IMAGE OP .....

>tfw don't give two shits about JRPGs anyway and saw XBC2 being shit from a mile away.

>A game so shit they made 70% of it fanservice in hopes it would bring people back in
KEK

>HAHA I MADE A SHIT PICTURE AND NOW I'M SHITTING ON MYSELF NINTEDO BTFO
the sex genie finally had his last melt down.

>We sacrificed the Golden Sun series for this

Camelot managed to kill the series either way so.

you are mad beyond salvation.

is this loss?

Haha, I knew I'd see this picture. Feels good predicting edits.

get out of the house

My fucking side. Who is making those threads for the past week, building up a tortanic that didn't happen and is now literally rolling in his shit and yelling like a maniac, posting every 20 minutes with the hope an Djiad will start against a toy he doesn't like?
The fact that you are still putting yourself on that imaginary high ground is the final nail on the coffin, you lost your mind.

Wait, did people actually hype up Xenoblade 2?

t.autistic weeaboo

I bought the game expecting a score like this anyway but this is a quality meme picture

>Pre-Xenoblade 2
>"NINTENDO BONUS! PAID REVIEWS!"
>Post-Xenoblade 2
>....

Xenoblade is not a core Nintendo franchise, or a Nintendo franchise at all.

>85 is a bad score
So can we all finally agree that New Vegas, Yakuza 0, Gothic 2, etc are all shit games?

Couldn't they have thrown the ball and let the dog run under the camera and whiel they threw the toy in the frame? Did they really need to do an unrealistic hand movement after focusing ont he ball and make the fake-ass ugly cut?

Some of the highest reviews are from Nintendo magazines

It did get the Nintendo bonus, the game is not 84

Nintendo and anime tax you mean? This game is 94 without those.

monolith soft are first party you retard

it still got the nintendo bonus, this shit is 65/100 at best

>what is pokemon

You people disgust me. This is the true Nintendocoretrifecta thing. Expect no less than a 95 when MP 4 comes out.

...

>Prime 2: 92
>Prime Pinball: 79
>Prime Hunters: 85
>Prime 3: 90
>Prime Federation Force: 64
The Prime series is mixed, I'd expect 4 to get 87 and follow the downward trend of the main series

>counting spinoffs
>purposely leaving out Primes 97

yeah I'm ignoring prime because it's the only game above 95. It's an exception to the rule so I wouldn't expect the series to get 95+.

Oh, now this picture actually makes sense. Thanks for the fix.

this rly made me think. thank you

holy shit I am so fucking tired of these metacritic threads

I don't care if you are a sonybro, a nintendobro, or otherwise, if you actually care about these fucking metacritic scores, then you are an absolute retard, they are seriously just opinions by random reviewers, opinions that have no more worth than anyone else's. It's astoundingly stupid how you people allow these reviewers to really drive the narrative on the quality of these games.

And no, I'm not a big Nintendo guy, I actually disliked BotW, I'm just tired of seeing these fucking green squares spammed everywhere, by everyone. Stop being obsessed with this completely irrelevant bullshit. Yes Im mad.

Forgetting something?

>Metroid
Literally who of gaming.
Nobody gives a crap outside of a couple of tumblr/NeoGAF SJWs

this is more accurate

>w-were just pretending to be retarded

>1 shitposter = everyone on Sup Forums

WAHOO WAHOO ITS NOT TRUE!

I get it, its a zelda reference

These Xenoblade threads have made me consider leaving place. I'm sure it's shitposting but being this obsessed with a review score is annoying.

>Mario - Nintendo
>Zelda - Nintendo
>Xenoblade - Monolith

Metroid 4 should be there.

>a game that don't give us the feeling of an early access / beta test.
Like BotW? It's like a tech demo with the same content recycled everywhere.

>months of "JRPG of the year!", "XC2 will complete the holy 97 trinity!", and "Nintendomination!" shilling threads on Sup Forums.
>Xenoblunder Chronicles 2 got widely panned by critics and gamers alike.
>W-we never said it's gonna be a masterpiece! W-we only said it'll be good!

Fucking really, nigga?

>not the Sup Forums triforce fail

People saw Shulk in Smash and assumed Xenoblade was a high-profile title, when it's really just anime shit on the same level as Fire Emblem, only with less waifu material.

I'd say Fire Emblem a bit higher profile than Xenoblade tbqh fampai

>Two of the biggest franchises in video game history, that barely get a trainwreck as bad as Duke Nukem Forever or Sonic 06
>A sequel to an obscure JRPG, that isn't popular oustide of a character in Smash
You fucking idiots

sick fucking meme dude

You realize people post shit like that for the explicit reason of making an illusion of hype or overhype so that they'll be able to make BTFO threads later, right? This happens all the time

Who the fuck actually thought Xenoblade was like Mario or Zelda?

>Using shitposting as argument

Are you retarded or just pretending?

>Didn't post the game that was above Tony Hawk
Truly I wonder why the shitposter would do this...Hmmm makes you think...

>Xenoblunder Chronicles 2 got widely panned by critics and gamers alike.
Fucking where.

Metacritic doesn't matter, retards.

>Xenoblunder Chronicles 2 got widely panned by critics and gamers alike.
Everyone who has played the first said it's even better than that. Most soyboys were just afraid of big boobies

old games arent even a fair comparison desu there werent as many reviewers as there are right now to both inflate or decrease scores. Even gta4 doesnt have as many reviews as gta 5

Why is Sup Forums obsessed wtih shitting on this?

One extremely autistic shitposters
Anti-anime posters
Easy bait

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 felt more like it belonged to the series than botw did.

Not that either are bad things, but I'm just saying.

>Xenoblunder Chronicles 2 got widely panned by critics and gamers alike.
...and then you woke up covered in sweat?

Prime 4 will complete the Holy Triforce of the Switch.

Back in the the day, Mario, Zelda, and Metroid were the Triforce of the GameCube.

>caring about what other people think about game you like.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

The way it was announced and just dropped on us so quickly I knew it wouldn't be as good as the others.

And I still fucking bought it. Christ.

stay mad lad

no, newfag, no.

PFFAHAHA

>having any faith in nu nintendo
Xenoblade is the worst rpg I've played in 5 years

Wait until pokemon comes out. It might get the first 100 on metacritic.

Really I just don't understand why they would take the hype surrounding this game and waste it. After XCX was a relative success and Shulk being in Smash and the Switch being a heavy mover. XC2 was in prime placement to be a breakout game for the series. Instead they chose to pander to the niche otaku market

No game will ever get a 100, it's literally impossible because people will always have differing opinions and shitposters like Jim Sterling exist

>Big Jim is a shitposter

Sup Forums is supposed to be a board for videogames enthusiasts and hardcore gamers, and yet at any given time it is possible to see multiple threads about Nintendo, a company infamous in the sector for being the one that most widely caters to the taste of casual and occasional gamers.

Now, I don't see any threads on Sup Forums about series like Modern Family or Grey's Anatomy, despite both being some of the most popular TV series airing, and that's because the userbase is mature enough to either not watch those programs clearly aimed at a completely different audience than the film enthusiasts who browse it, or to realize that discussing them is out of place in a site dedicated to enthusiasts of particular interests like Sup Forums is.

On the other hand, Nintendo threads plague Sup Forums constantly, and are some of the worst threads on the board in the matter of quality of posts. This, of course reflects the immature and non-internet-savy nature of the average Nintendo fan, which is not and could ever not be a videogames enthusiasts, so these threads pose an actual nuisance to the actual hardcore gamers that wished to discuss their hobby with likeminded individuals on Sup Forums. They are also known falseflagggers, shitposters and general console warriors, further decreasing the quality of content on the board.

My proposal to solve this issue, which is arguably one of the root causes for the current state of Sup Forums, is to ban any user that mentions anything related to Nintendo, be it games, consoles or IPs. I'm sure that the quality of the board would increase tremendously, as the moderation makes clear that Nintendo fans are not welcome on Sup Forums, driving them away from the userbase in a permanent manner, thus removing the main source of bad content on the board.

Feel free to discuss how long the ban should be, I advocate a 3 days ban for first offenders and then a permanent ban for repeat offenders.

ok Jim
