I was reading the IGN forums, and I'm like wow. Those people who troll others on IGN are worse than the worst of Bell Tree. I'm glad I'm a member here and not there. It's so immature.

Case in point, I was reading why E games are rare on Playstation and Xbox systems. Apparently, someone complained about how E games are becoming scarce on systems outside the Nintendo systems. Other people were being rude to him/her. Yet, if I do the same here (which I haven't complained about rarity of E games yet), I could possibly get supporters. Is it TBT that's nicer, or is it that it's a Nintendo site I am on (we know that T and M games on the Nintendo systems aren't common)?
 
Well, Nintendo is targeting kids/families so of course most games are more child-friendly unless it's third-party games like shooters and some otome(mainly Japan) games. If you look at i.e xbox or the playstation consoles you have a wider range of more mature games, so those are more 'adult' appealing.

For your question, I guess they are wanting child games to stay on Nintendo cause it's the family console everyone gets for their kids or something. I can enjoy some Nintendo games but the facts is I love otome/visual novels more and Ps Vita/computer is mostly region free with better games I stick to those.

Interesting point though cause I hardly go to those forums.
 
in IGN you'll find a lot of "hardcore fanbois" of certain consoles/companies/game franchises and they would go bonkers against any comment or a person who talks about something they don't like. they are just typical fanboy reactions and in IGN E rated stuff and Nintendo are a laugh and a Joke because these kids think they are so cool playing "mature" games lmao

here in TBT most people have similar tastes (most are Nintendo fans) and because Nintendo consoles lack third party support the fans tend to buy or use another gaming system, for example I'm a Sony fan besides being a Nintendo fan, and I guess it's the case with many others, that's why people here aren't as rude when talking about video game related stuff I guess

man I do suck at explaining myself sometimes but I hope you get what I'm saying...

I can see now. It used to be that all three consoles would equally support all ratings, but they tend to target child friendly games for Nintendo while all the mature games go to Playstation and Xbox.

But my point isn't the lack of E games these days. My point is on how rude IGN users are (not trying to fight here). They are being rude to that person for wanting E games beyond Nintendo. But I also learned something else. The gaming industry has grown up now. Even kids have a stronger distate towards E games than M games. But just because someone doesn't like the lack of E games doesn't mean they can be rude. At the same time, whoever complained about it was also being rude to the trolls. Yes, backlashes over stupid stuff are just as bad, but the way he retaliated was just as bad.
 
Yeah and I understand your point better now that you explained it. And of course there are great E games if you look, but the mainstream of those today are way too targeted at children and doesn't look as appealing because they are mostly "take care of your pony" or stuff. And if they want to play that I don't want to judge.

There are great E/T games on the PS/XBOX consoles if one take a look even if they might be a bit hard to find, a lot are ports or just lego games if not dating sims.

Thanks for explaining why IGN is ****ty compared to TBT. Also, just because a kid plays Halo, Call of Duty, Gears of War, Grand Theft Auto :O, Fallout, or any game like that doesn't mean they are mature. In fact, it makes them more immature. If the kids were just as mature as the ones in South Park (knows what to do, has manners, better at taking care etc), then I would say that they are.

It's kinda funny how the demographics were backwards these days. While a good deal of adult players play the adult games and kids play the kid games, Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, and Pokemon are more popular among older audiences while shooters were popular among younger audiences. And really old people dislike M games more than E games. I think it's more about generation than age.
 
Yeah, while I may prefer "animu" games and more mature strategy games I do love myself some smash, pokemon, mario kart or whatever platformers once in a while. but yeah it's less fanboi-y here because it's an acnl/nintendo site, the others are just "there" and left with more mature discussion and less threads.
 
I have more gaming opinions.

From the 6th generation gaming, the Xbox was the best designed, but I played more fun games for the PS2 than any other system of that generation. And the GameCube had Super Mario Sunshine.

Yes, oh yes. I may have suffered bad times on this site too, but at least Bell Tree isn't as bad. Like I said on another thread, I prefer platformers, tycoon games, and puzzles over shooters, and offline games over online.

I liked some Xbox games back in the days when we had the first one, but since most are released on most platforms(even indie titles) the newer Xbox consoles haven't made it worthy yet. I prefer the others. And yeah Playstation is/was the blast pretty much.

No it's not if you compare to a lot of forums out there, this is probably one of the friendliest. Sure people may start argues but it's not like IGN, reddit or whatever the sites are called.

Yeah I prefer single player too even if it's designed to be an MMO(unless it's extremely casual). Cool you like tycoon games, the first two Rollercoaster were my favorites for ages, 3 didn't do as much. Not an overly fan of shooters unless they are a bit casual like TF2, Splatoon and such. Platformers is alright but those should be on consoles for me, not computers. They just work better that way. Puzzles, well can be alright all on the creator and how they made it playable or not.

honestly the feminism thread is so annoying, it's only causing headaches and a hard time on the mods. I wish it never existed, people have the right to share their opinions on the matter..but it's not going well. was expected

The problem with feminism is that it's a very touchy subject. If you're on a gaming forum, I suggest that you should avoid the followimg topics:

Racism (which includes the Ferguson incident from last year)
Sexism and feminism
Classism
Religious intolerance

All of these subjects are very touchy, and they can lead to serious fighting. It's okay to discuss this with your less sensitive neighbors as long as you're not offensive, but avoid these subjects on the internet.

Well thing is people misinterpret the whole feminism thing on purpose to create flame wars it seems, or they don't want it to be equality between genders. I don't know.

And it's going well, got things sorted out yesterday, so :3
 
What I noticed about Spongebob.

Prior to the movie, Plankton was worse than Mr. Krabs, as he serves as the villain of the show. He was even more evil in the movie. Over time, the series still points at Plankton in a negative light and still respects him as the antagonist, but according to the fans, Mr. Krabs has gotten much worse. Plankton is still the antagonist, but judging by Mr. Krabs' behavior, it's safe to say that Mr. Krabs is now the real bad guy.
