<I’m going to regret this in half an hour but let’s talk “did MEA get a fair shake”
<First off, the question was not “is MEA secretly a great game and did mean Nintendo make us fail?” MEA is a deeply flawed game. Especially at launch
<But the review environment was crowded.
Nier, Nioh, Horizon, and Zelda all launched in MEAs window.
<Each does something better than MEA (again, a flawed game)
<As a result, even systems that are pretty decent get scrutinized against superiorly implemented ones.
<Does launching in a different window turn 72% into 90? Certainly not. 72 into 77/78 Maybe
<Does that affect sales? Some. But word of mouth matters so much these days
<And here’s the thing. That’s the nature of the industry. You don’t have full control over when you launch and no control over when others do. DAI benefited by how tough a year 2014 turned out to be for games
<You launch the best game you can. MEA has a lot of problems and got lapped by genuinely better games.
>Game released with shit animation, glitches, poor dialogue and SJW propaganda
>Even normalfags can see through this bullshit
>B-But it was Zelda, It was N-Nier, It w-was NiOh
Jesus fucking Christ, how irresponsible are these faggots? This makes MN.9's better than nothing excuse look honest.
