I wish I can enjoy how the game looks because on other systems, it looks pretty, but on Series S, you're on Potato Mode. Most of the textures and models are very low quality and it even struggles to run at a constant 30 FPS on Series S, so for me, that is very disappointing and it makes the developefor the Series S seem like an afterthought.

If you own a Series S and these bother you like it does to me, I would avoid playing this game until there are patches to make the game look and run better hopefully. Other than that, I don't recommended playomg this game on a Series S.

Had some free time, so I decided to make this category of the type of Nintendo related grifters on the internet, mostly on YouTube. It's not perfect and if there's anything that needs to be changed or added, let me know. I wanted to make this to help those to understand what types of grifting there are from content creators, whither they're actually grofters or not but does make videos that can be described as grifting. So, here yango.

Level 4 Grifting - Attention Seekers: They do nothing but spread misinformation and over-exaggerate negatively when Nintendo does literally anything good or bad. They do this to get people's attention and make a lot of money off of clickbaitable content. Likely creates AI generated or disturbing thumbnails. [Fritanga, SmashJT, and Frogmire]

Level 3 Grifting - Japanese Soilder: Those who used to be on Nintendo's side, even during their worst era, but then changes their mindset when Nintendo does something that they heavily disagree on. Will act like they stop caring but then later constantly talk about them negatively because they're "fighting for the cause". Even if what they say is incorrect, they don't care because they're too upset that their favorite innocent company has gotten evil. [NintenDeen]

Level 2 Grifting - Depressed Fanboy: Too discourse poisoned; trying so hard to be neutral about everything without getting into controversy or drama. When Nintendo does something good, they'll praise it and be very happy, but if it's something they don't like or they don't have a game made for them, these guys will rant and blame Nintendo for not knowing what they're doing, make it feel like it's our problem, and worry too much about what the community thinks as well as Nintendo themselves. [Arlo and Nin10doland]

Level 1 Grifting - **THE** Fanboy: Praises Nintendo and buys their products all the time, but almost immediately switches against them when they do something they don't like and try to make it a big deal for the views by saying some nonsense. But it doesn't matter what they say or do because you if you around their room or office, "Nintendo Fan" is written all over them and they'll continue to buy their products. [BeatEmUps, AbdullahSmash, RGT85, and SwitchForce]

Level 0 Grifting - The Neutral Fan: Praises and criticizes Nintendo evenly without letting their bias take over. Does not over-exaggerate, doesn't clickbait, doesn't bring up the people online most of the time. It's hardly ever a grift; they will likely joke or mock about the discourse because it's too funny and ridiculous. Usually avoids the discourse by just focusing on other things that are more important to them. [SirMusty and ScottTheWoz]

No seriously, what happened? All of this hype and promotion for the game and those who had early access to play the game before release were very positive for a revival of this franchise and I couldn't wait to purchase the game on my console. I haven't kept up much news so I jump back to see how's everyone enjoying the game and I am seeing a bunch of people very upset or disappointed in the game. Reviewers were pretty mixed on it as well, and comemnts saying that the devs don't know what they were doing.

What the hell did I just miss? Everyone was so excited for the game and now it's being slammed hard.

This was the final Paper Mario game I played and though, I enjoyed my time with it, I can't help throughout my playthrough feeling that this started what Paper Mario has become what it is today. Even going back to old threads, a lot of people were really not happy about SPM at the time and during Sticker Star's release, a lot people's impressions of SPM was still very negative with some actually preferring Sticker Star over it, even though both has been labeled at "not Paper Mario 3".

In recent years since Color Splash, times definitely have changed with Super Paper Mario being considered part of the classics and I don't really understand. All of the games since SPM have RPGs elements, a companion who travels with Mario throughout the whole story, as well as a gimmick that's very 4th wall breaking. Many excuse Super Paper Mario for not having art gimmicks like Stickers, Paint, or Origami, but the gimmick for this game is part of that "Paper" idea: Digital Art. Nothing takes place in a Pop-Up Book to be counted as "Mario Story" like the first two games. Everything in the world is digitized and even created digitally.

So I still wonder why this game is considered to be classic Paper Mario when it started modern Paper Mario.

I grew up with 4 back in 2011 on the Wii so I have a lot of bias to that game, but trying to play many of the others, I find myself being into the action games a lot more. When I got to play 7 as my second game back in 2021, I was bored and got lost, so I stopped playing. This year, I was back into RE and decided to give RE2R a try and I wasn't enjoying the game. Thought it was just too slow, got lost just like 7 and the amount of puzzles I come across, optional or not, I just got bored.

I didn't know what was wrong at that time. Why didn't I like 7 and 2R? Was I like that with 4? So I got a copy of 4 for my Xbox and I was having a lot of fun playing the game again. It put way more time to it than 7 and 2R combined. So I stopped and was like, "Alright, I may be biased because it's my first game, so let's try something else." Gave 3R a try and surprisingly, I was enjoying it a lot. I think it was the pacing of both 4 and 3R was what made me wanna continue to see what's ahead.

I read online and found out that these games are more action horrthan survival, and maybe that's the reason why I couldn't get into 7 and 2R? I have yet to play the other games that are labeled as action horror so I can't quite give an opinion on them but it seems that RE always started as a survival horror genre and many didn't enjoy that at a point they went to a more action focused horror game, but I really enjoyed 4 and 3R a lot. Is that a problem? Is RE a series not for someone like it if I only enjoyed 2 out of 4 games I have played so far?

I can't help but think thay DOA is that one fight game franchise most of the FGC works make jokes at. If it isn't Smash or MK, it would be DOA. The word gets around that it's nothing more than a gooner game with the fighting mechanics really aren't that great compared to Tekken or Soulcalibur around those times.

That was then, but nowadays, I am seeing some people show interest in the franchise, but talk about the lack of crossplay and rollback prevents them from giving the games a try and yeah, that's extremely fair. Not having those things in the big '26 is a mind-boggling move from KT.

But the question I always wanted to know is if there will be interest if the next game does feature crossplay, rollback, while keeping the fanservice in check as well as having little amount of costumes to purchase rather than the large amount we see nowadays. I want to say this could help make DOA have a healthy playerbase, but I feel this game would still be labeled as a gooner game and avoided by a lot of the community, but I don't know.

This game's story and gameplay is pretty good, although a little bullet sponge-y on the dinosaurs themselves, but my god, the pacing of the game is HAMMERED with so many freaking puzzles that I don't understand the reasoning for this. I know puzzles are a RE staple and this game takes heavy inspiration from that franchise, but Jesus Christ, these puzzles are making me go insane. The fact that about over half of the doors in the facility are locked and are needed the right key cards and DDKs along with having to solve the codes or input code numbers just drives me up the wall.

And throughout most of my playthrough, I'm asking myself, "Where's the dinos?!" I legit was waiting for the raptors to jump out of nowhere, getting into rooms, or anything to scare the plauer, but they seem to almost always be around hallways and I am not a fan. But I feel that most of it had to do with the heavy amount of puzzles that just slows the pacing down REALLY badly.

I get that the Ibis Island Research Facility is supposed to be well guarded and top secret but god damn. The game doesn't give you time to breath from all of these things you have to remember, write down, and all that jazz. Might be a no from me dude.

I loke a good zombie shooter, and I have been warned many times that Resident Evil isn't that kind of game for me, but I wanted to at least give the franchose a try and I was recommended to give RE2R and 7 a try. To put it short, I didn't enjoy how slow paced both these games are.

​

And I get it, they're survival horrors; that's the point, but it's such a shame that I'm missing out on good stories but looking st some of the cutscense, thr characters and plot all interest me so much that I can't watch anymore because I really wanna experience it. However, I just can't get used to the slow paced gunplay and the amount of puzzles everywhere, having to backtrack and everything. I love a good puzzle, but I feel RE does it a little took much for me to enjoy because I have to backtrack so much. As for gunplay, I'm too used to go guns blazing in other shooters, but RE, again, isn't that kind of game, but I really wish it was. Having to use my ammo responsibly, mainly just aiming for head just feels tedious for me that I can't gelp but waste bullets.

​

Overall, this is a me problem and a franchise that isn't for me. It's just that I hate being so interest in the world of RE that I find myself trying to give these games another chance but couldn't. How does someone lile me who is very trigger happy and linear gameplay enjoy Resident Evil?

GenAI sucks, don't get me wrong, but I really like Crazy Taxi and this new one looks really good that I do wanna purchase it and have fun. Just that all of this genAI talk about the game have made someone like me, feel like if I do get it, those who are super against AI are gonna get on to me and I dunno if that's just something I have to deal with or does it really make me that bad of a person to "support" AI.

​

For me, I could care less about them use of it. I just don't think that's gonna go away. They used it and that's that. What really decides it for me is the price. If it's priced anywhere about $30 or $40, I'm waiting for a sale. Crazy Taxi is not a game they should sell at full price.
