I feel like this video isn't just a dig at what other devs (especially Sony) are already putting out, it's also a warning for what Nintendo is just one angry shareholders' meeting away from making too. They've already got the individual ingredients:
>Prime 4 has obnoxious expositional and mood-ruining dialogue
>Metroid Prime 4 has obnoxious and intelligence-insulting dialogue
>Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom/Mario Kart World have bland open worlds
>Donkey Kong Bananza has skill trees
>Tears of the Kingdom has crafting
>Pokemon Legends Z-A had $30 DLC announced before release
It's just a matter of time before they have that "jewreka!" moment and combine all of this in one heinous game.

I also don't get it, but it seems to be the line that destroys a lot of people's sides. Is it the generic go-to writing in a lot of big games/movies, I guess?
>>
>>729384403
It’s not that deep. It’s just a really tacky line that would fit in any modern AAA story corridor game.
>>
>>729384403
>>729384626
The entire line ("Focus M, Bowser has the power stars and you KNOW what that means.") and the delivery of it (mainly her cadence) is very reminiscent of the style of dialogue you would hear in your average gritty Ubisoft game when being briefed via comms during gameplay for example.
It's kind of like when a line from a movie, game, etc. that doesn't exist floats around in the collective consciousness after hearing stuff in a similar style.

for me, it's the jump button prompt that appears whenever Mario goes near a question block

If you don't get it, you genuinely haven't played many "AAA" games from the past decade. All big budget vidya dialog blends together because of how incestuous the industry is. The "focus M" thing is basically textbook paint-by-numbers banter for vidya writers.

They used this exact video, this series of videos was how Nintendo Hire This Man started. It's pretty cool see a maymay evolve, I don't give a shit if it's 4chan or shitter culture as long as it's actually funny.

Let's be real here.
The next 3D Mario is going to be like a AAA cinematic experience with its cutscenes.
It is evident in Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

How is this different from those gorey Mario animations that got posted on Newgrounds?

Its that type of generic line that is over used in many AAA games. I can't even really remember one specific game that does it but I felt it being entirely familiar

>>729384403
Being reminded to focus when on a mission because the protagonist is a cocky asshole is an industry trend. The "M" part is just a funny way to refer to Mario, as if calling him Mario would be too earnest or mundane so he has to have a "codename" like he's a secret agent.
>>
>>729390546
This is not a real dialog from the game. Why are you doing this psyop?

The funniest thing about this meme is how everybody is saying this sounds like Naughty Dog or Ubisoft, but have clearly never played any of those games, because theyre not remotely quippy, and classic Asscreed although failed sometimes, always tried to be historically accurate. And TLOU and Uncharted were more casual and interpersonal than "action movie quips". It was about the relationships of the character, so much so that it would take string precedence over any semblance of describing the videogame mechanics in a way that doesnt sound disconnected from the game or characters.

Honestly it sounds crazy, but I dont remember a single tutorial sounding like dialogue in TLOU or Uncharted.

Anyway the reason why this whole meme is funny, is because the dialogue it actually reminds me the most of, is Metal Gear Solid. Down to the way MGS will try to talk about videogame mechanics as if theyre naturally part of the world, creating a complete disconnect of self awareness from the characters.

So its hilarious everybody is using their generic narratives to characterize modern sony AAA games as this, when its more reflective if the beloved "classic mgs". Lol. You could even go as far as to say this is characteristic of zelda, although zelda is far less elegant about it, they try to describe videogame mechanics and videogame goals as if its natural.

Funny how that works.

Metal Gear invented this kind of dialog and it works for those games. This is making fun of other games that copy it but do it way worse. Last game I played that did this was Ninja Gaiden 4. The sony games that do this are the spider-man games and horizon. The only acceptable radio chatter is Metal Gear and Ace Combat. Everything else could do without.

There are 0 quips in this video.

Isn't the whole point of Uncharted to be about a quippy action guy?
