@anonsinnerman Hardly. I love a lot of Nintendo games. I love Metroid, Pokemon and I really enjoy Smash and Mario Kart. It's the fact with every Mario/ Zelda game they are declared the second coming of christ. I really do think it's a case of rose tinted glasses and nostalgia for many reviewers. As they likely played these games when they were growing up.
I'm not doubting their quality one bit. They are probably fantastics games. I just don't into all the critical acclaim they recieve.
@Bri-Die I started with Ocarina of Time because it's the Zelda game people talk about the most. I wasn't particularly aiming it at Zelda. It's just the game of the moment lol. I feel the same about Mario games.
Take for example the Galaxy games. While fun games I feel they are far from the masterpieces they are made out to be.
@kyleforrester87 Sorry I only skimmed through the comments. Must have missed yours lol. My bad. I can probably say hand on heart the only Nintendo franchise I properly enjoy is pokemon. I don't know why but I'm just a sucker for Pokemon games.
Is it just me or does anybody else feel Nintendo games get a free pass a lot of the time. Particularly Mario and Zelda. While I believe Mario games are fun titles, I fail to see the adulation that are put on the games.
I've only played one Zelda game. Ocarina of time on the 3DS and while it was a good game. (8.5/10) In my opinion, many put it on this unreachable pedastal that no other game can ever reach.
Before anybody turns it into a Horizon V Zelda debate, I am putting on record I've not played either game yet. It just seems every single Nintendo release gets met with wide critical acclaim which I feel is a bit over the top. Don't get me wrong they are usually fantastic games but not to the level some people make out.
Well if the leaked specs are to be belived the scorpio is nothing to write home about either. I will stick with the console that actually has games. Thanks very much Microsoft.
Easy to see why. The game is poor. I usually don't buy COD but this year I made an exception due to the remaster. I have played infinite warfare for about 10 minutes. COD4 on the other hand had me up til the early hours playing. Total nostalgia trip. Very well done remaster to by the way. The visuals have really been brought up to date.
The last thing I need is more games after buying Skyrim, Battlefield and Fifa 17. I hate being an adult with no time to play these games but yet I keep buying them.
It's why I always use this website. Sammy and everybody else always interact with their reader's. It's a nice touch. Also reviews are generally of a very high standard and informative. I would highly recommend this website over the likes of Gamespot and IGN, just for personality of this site alone.
Not really interested but I think it should have came with one. While I am getting a pro I feel the system is not what it could be. Especially with Scorpio on the horizon.
@JesWood13 Sounds like you got a faulty seagate. I used one of them on my launch ps4 and if anything I noticed a nice speed boost. Nothing major but easily noticeable. I also another seagate on my ps3. A 1TB if I recall. That was also another good purchase. Again no complaints. My ps3 rain much smoother with that compared to the default one.
Still the game of the generation for me. Nothing has come close to besting it as of yet. To be honest I can't see anything on the horizon wheich will beat it either.
I love Kojima. He really does not leave a stone unturned when it comes to his work. Including logos. Everything is so fleshed out. It's fascinating really.
@stupidget Hardly. Nintendo as much as we mock them have a serious stable of franchises. The Pokemon games have been around for almost two decades at this stage and still have incredible pulling power. I will admit I'm a huge fan of the serious and I play Go a little bit when I'm out and about. It really is a fantastic idea and I can see it staying longer than a few weeks.

Re: Poll: Will Your PS4 Gather Dust Now the Nintendo Switch Is Out?
To be honest I don't think you could have a Nintendo console as your main console. Some nintendo systems have droughts longer than the Sahara desert.
Re: PlayStation Congratulates Nintendo on Zelda Success
@get2sammyb Totally agree. Nobody can Deny GTA is a great series but it's nowhere near the top of this medium if you ask me.

Re: Retail Copies of Gravity Rush Remastered Are Now a Rarity
@Strawberry15 Not at the moment. Sorry dude. To be honest I collect more than I play games these days haha.
Re: Retail Copies of Gravity Rush Remastered Are Now a Rarity
I actually have an unopened box of the game. Good to know.

Re: Review: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS4)
@get2sammyb Pity. Looked like it had a lot of potential in that department. Still. Great review as usual.
Re: Review: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS4)
@get2sammyb Is it actually scary sammy? It looks very tense but will it actually frighten me? Haven't had a good scare in a long time.
Re: Site News: Welcome to the New Push Square
Looks pretty good. Really brings the place into 2017.

Re: Feature: Should You Buy the PS4 Pro?
@get2sammyb is the fan less noisy than the existing Model Sammy?.

Re: PS4 Pro Consoles Are Starting to Be Shipped to Stores
Can't wait to get mine. Really looking forward to it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 141
Battlefield 1 and possibly Skyrim if I can squeeze it in

Re: Round Up: Titanfall 2 PS4 Reviews Fall from the Sky
Seems like a good game. However I haven't met anybody with much interest in it to be honest.
Re: How Much Better Does Skyrim Look on PS4?
@hieveryone I'd imagine very similar. The switch is rumored to be more powerful than the xbox1 but around the same as the base ps4.
Re: Poll: Should the PS4 Pro Have a UHD Blu-ray Player?
Not really interested but I think it should have came with one. While I am getting a pro I feel the system is not what it could be. Especially with Scorpio on the horizon.
Re: PS4 Firmware Update 4.00 Is Available to Download Now
@BowTiesAreCool Not yet. Just mostly the same stuff that was in the beta really.
Re: PS4 Firmware Update 4.00 Is Available to Download Now
I was in the beta. Decent update. Folders certainly tidy the screen. Nice addition.

Re: Review: Resident Evil 4 (PS4)
@LieutenantFatman Well a smart decision by Capcom is a rare thing to be honest.
Re: Review: Resident Evil 4 (PS4)
@LieutenantFatman Fairly certain the ps3 version didn't either.
Re: Pre-Order Your PS4 Pro Console Right Now
Pre ordered. Can't wait to get my hands on it. A small bit disapointed however.
Re: PS4 Pro Doesn't Appear to Have a 4K Blu-ray Player
Strange decision. However dont think I have ever played a dvd or blu ray in my ps4.
Re: Sony Confirms Official Stream for PlayStation Meeting 2016
@Quintumply Nice. Looking forward to it.
Re: Sony Confirms Official Stream for PlayStation Meeting 2016
What time for UK and Ireland viewers. I never know what timezone is which. 😂
Re: Relive the Greatness of The Witcher 3 with Its Final Trailer

Re: Retro PS4 Releases Go Cheap in Massive European PlayStation Store Sale
Bully and possibly Vice City could tempt me.
Re: Here's How Resident Evil 4 Looks on the PS4
@Dr_Salvador Really hoping it's not just s straight like for like from the PS3 version. Hopefully it has a much bigger trophy list this time.
Re: PlayStation Now Streams Sony Exclusives to PC from Tomorrow
Still no word of Ireland getting this service yet. Pity. I would have some interest in it.
Re: Sony's Releasing a DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adaptor for Your PC, Mac
I just downloaded a program and plug the controller in via USB. No big deal really.
Re: Here's How Resident Evil 4 Looks on the PS4
@Link41x Yeah but they also had PS3 Platinum trophies. Hopefully I'm wrong as I would like to play through the game again. It's still so good.
Re: Here's How Resident Evil 4 Looks on the PS4
@CommercialReign @get2sammyb I'm fairly sure the PS3 version didn't have a platinum trophy.
Re: Rumour: PS4 Slim Hardware Images Allegedly Leak Online
Looks very similar to the PS3 slim. Is this also the NEO or just a slim model PS4.?
Re: Gamescom 2016: Metal Gear Survive Won't Be a Full-Priced Release
No. Keep it Konami. Pure and utter rubbish.
Re: PlayStation Now May Start Streaming to PC Soon
How about they release it in other countries first.
Re: Here's Your First Look at Dead Rising on PS4
@FullbringIchigo It certainly would help.
Re: Here's Your First Look at Dead Rising on PS4
Meh. The games are fun for 10 minutes and get very boring afterwards.
Re: Kojima Productions' Logo Movie Is As Self-Indulgent As You'd Expect
I love Kojima. He really does not leave a stone unturned when it comes to his work. Including logos. Everything is so fleshed out. It's fascinating really.
Re: Feature: The Best Games on PS4 - Summer 2016 Edition
Still very much disagree with Journey being number 1 and a few other selections on that list.
Re: Poll: Has Square Enix Enticed You with Rise of the Tomb Raider PS4's Extras?
Not a chance.
Re: Pokémon Go Makes Nintendo More Valuable Than Sony
@Riririn With a very popular card game and anime to also prop it up.
Re: Lara Croft's Tomb Raider Rises on PS4 with New Story, Modes, and PlayStation VR
Still not buying it. SE can take a jump.

Re: Capcom's Bringing Three Dead Rising Games to PS4
Capcom can keep these. I really hated the secomd game.
Re: Poll: Will You Pay Full Price for Rise of the Tomb Raider on PS4?
Not a chance am I buying it after the way SE handled the whole situation.
