It's also wild that the PS4 has been out for 3 years almost and it still only has two good exclusives but I guess non-Nintendo consoles are just pc boxes now anyway

I don't understand the PS2 emulation talk at all; I've been running PCSX2 for years just fine, to the point where I felt perfectly comfortable selling off my PS2 because I knew I was never going to use it again.

i will respect the fact that in my own personal opinion the best zelda games are the ones where you can just swap some names and not even be capable of telling it's a zelda game and link's awakening and the oracle games are pretty solid in that regard

See, even the Russian knock-offs are awesome.

It would probably be a better measure of a persons taste to ask them what their bottom three Zelda games are.

Splatoon 2 also only has a tick rate of 12.5 Hz which is :laffo:

Other games for reference:

Splatoon 1: 25Hz
Overwatch: Increased from 20Hz to 63Hz
CSGO: 64 Hz
Team Fortress 2: 66 Hz
Battlefield One: Increased from 30 Hz to 45 Hz
Rainbow Six Seige: Increased from 30 Hz to 60 Hz

The sequel is worse than the original. Though the same can be said for all games.

Animation Magic were incredible, everything they did makes me smile from how goddam weird it is and how their ambition clashes with their actual budget and skill.

I don't believe that number because nobody has confirmed it or shown how they got it. Also it was from the demo weekend

The funniest Wii launch thing was the fact that there was a bidding war over goddamned Escape from Bug Island because publishers were desperate to put out something, anything while the craze was at its peak. Seeing the literal piles of unsold fidget spinners at the checkout line of every other store I go to has been making me reminisce about the Wii a lot lately.
