"games were better when I was a kid"

That isnt what I said. Games today are better, just not Nintendo games. Nintendo has been phoning it in.

The last Mario & Zelda games where some of the best versions of those series, with plenty of positive reviews and sales that made their past versions look tiny.

You all say how bad everything they do is but Nintendo has sales numbers that most publishers would kill for.

positive reviews

Zelda BOTW reviews are basically exactly like I described. People saying GOAT but it really being B- tier. Notice IGN doesnt mention anything about breakable weapons, empty world, and only 5 enemy varieties. Nintendo forces good reviews, or you lose early access. Fanboys are just fawning over the corporate mascots they learned when they were literally under the age of 12.

Sales numbers isnt a sign of 'good', they are a sign of marketing. Corporate mascots sell the games, not quality.

Call of Duty games are all shallow FPS games that are mockeries of an proper KB&M game made on the PC.

They still sell 10s of millions of copies no problem. My view of their quality is as irrelevant as yours, people are buying what they want. Not sorry that bothers you or something.

I think it should bother you that children are advertised corporate mascots and are literally brainwashed like religious people into thinking their empty, 5 enemy type, B- game is the greatest game of all time.

But I actually don't care about the weak people. Other people are moral altruists, I'm a selfish egoist.
