All the SMBW whining is just a moron pissing and shitting that the new game looks soulful (having passion put into it) but doesn’t want to admit he doesn’t know what soul actually means, so calls it fake soul.

              It bothers me when people who can't articulate their own fricking opinions go on Ganker and spout their moronation, yes. Why are you going to a video game discussion board if you can't have a proper discussion? I don't even give that much of a frick about SMBW; it looks like a NSMB game with a better artstyle. I have no strong desire to play it because I'm not big on the NSMB series and it's gameplay; its movement never felt good to me and I never liked the floaty triple jumping/walljumping they were characterized by. I can articulate this because I'm not a sub-70 IQ moron incapable of introspection and thought.
              Again, I ask you, use your big boy words. Learn to articulate your opinion instead of making the rest of us read an absolutely meaningless set of buzzwords you shat out your unwashed ass.

                Again, you absolute mong, if it's not a buzzword then you should be able to clearly and in a more detailed way define what it means. How is something "forced soul"? If we arrive at the conclusion that "soul" describes something made with real artistic intent and passion, then it by definition cannot be forced. That's stretching it a bit since the whole fricking idea is moronic to begin with, but even if I humor that, what on God's green earth does "forced soul" mean? By any even mildly sensible definition of the already nonsensical "soul", forcing it would be impossible. It would just be "soulless" by default. You've managed to buzzword a fricking buzzword. You've reached a level of nonsense I didn't think was possible outside of some kind of fricking stupid science fiction novel where words erase themselves from the brain and leave no meaning behind.

Yes, but this "soul" nonsense is a new breed of garbage because it's turning people who clearly want to express some form of view on the work they're talking about into moronic Blacks who deliberately avoid insight and stick with buzzwords that do nothing but muddle any attempt at discussion with absolutely meaningless garbage. Every time someone tries to boil down their view to "I think this is soulless/forced soul/soul", another dozen posts gets wasted because you have to either spend time dragging an explanation out of the person who said that or watch as it devolves an otherwise decent topic into rage-fueled word salad. I ask again, why would you come to a video game discussion board if you have no desire to actually discuss video games? What benefit do you get? Where's the fun in this? Even board schizos like ACgay who spend every waking minute of the day spamming Ganker their terrible opinions still have more merit than every "soul"poster combined because at least someone like ACgay will give me a detailed and consistent explanation for why he likes or dislikes something.

                Not that I use the term “soul” or “forced soul” or whatever, but I do feel like I understand the term. To me “soul” is not just the presentation of a video game, it is when every nook and cranny feels intentional, especially from a game mechanic perspective. I love smaller games because of this, as the amount of unnecessary and honestly boring components are cut off from the finished product. The presentation is obviously extremely important, especially for a trailer, but I am skeptical of it actually following through being actually fully realized product with a vision. It probably just looks good for a quick glance, but looking a little closer and it’s probably boring or barren, basically the video game equivalent of a catfish. It’s kinda like movies, any marvel movie can be seeing as “beautiful” or “spectacular” from a certain lense, like watching fireworks. However to say that they doesn’t feel artificial, with no real “point” in them or “heart” or “soul”, should be pretty obvious for any viewer whom have watched more than two of the same cookie cutter movies. I hope it helps.

                I hate the term forced soul but for some reason I think I understand what it means.
                Soul: when an artist is passionate about their work and were granted the creative liberties to make something truly their own

                People can recognize soul where it exists: something can be particularly autistic, something could have had way more effort put into it than necessary, something can be hapazardly put together despite limitation but its awkward execution gives it a bit of a charm because you can tell the developers TRIED to overcome the limitation.
                Soul can also mean you feel that presence of the artist reaching out to you and you reach back. Sometimes you just like something enough that you find your own "artist's intrepretation" in there and see soul where there isn't really any.

                FORCED SOUL is when an artist recognizes that soul exists and sets out to capture that feeling through mimicry or copying tricks. Oh, people think it's soulful when this little aspect is super animated? Do that. Oh people find it soulful when we subvert the expectation right here? Do that.
                It is the same as someone trying to be really funny when they've already established themselves as a bit unrelatable and above you. It comes off as disingenous and undermines the effort put in- and more effort put in seems to make it worse.

                This is also down to intrepretation as well. Some people see Nintendo as disingenuously trying to win back the people complaining about how sterile the series has become, other people are seeing it as the complete opposite; a love letter to the people who had to put up with an era of soulless slop and promising a change of heart.

                IN REALITY, "forced soul" can just be shorthand for this idea in the presence of animation/ art that goes over the top to be quirky. Real soul subdues itself a bit and sometimes waits for you to reach out, while this "forced soul" breaks through the screen to try to reach to you before you even had the opportunity to give it a shot.

                soul is literally the opposite of that

                fine. I didn't want to but some of you seem confused
                soul is when a game has qualities that couldn't have been planned, thought of, or executed other than by accident. it's like the game has a mind of it's own and the sum of it's parts add up to more than the constituents. it's inspired in a way that's not something someone could have just created out of their imagination. it has a divine aspect that unveils itself to the player, like a soul

    The forced soul thing is pure denial.
    Nintendo's games have been crushing the competition all gen. Better gameplay, more content, less extraneous bullshit like microtransactions and woke propaganda. The one hole they had was their obnoxious mandates limiting creativity in aesthetics and settings. Well, now they've stopped doing that.

    The Sony fanboys can't just accept that, that now Nintendo's games are superior in every way. So they try to claim its a mirage, it's not real. It must be fake creativity, an issusion.

            clearly not going to happen. if they won't go back you should go to where they were kicked out of.

    Forced soul is when a company I don't like caters to fans I also don't like in a way that I would like but don't like because it's from a company I don't like and is clearly directed at people I really don't like.

    Reminder that you can blame this entirely on Gamecubegays who still believe they should be pandered to. They are also responsible for the mandate meme.

    I hate the term forced soul but for some reason I think I understand what it means.
    Soul: when an artist is passionate about their work and were granted the creative liberties to make something truly their own

    People can recognize soul where it exists: something can be particularly autistic, something could have had way more effort put into it than necessary, something can be hapazardly put together despite limitation but its awkward execution gives it a bit of a charm because you can tell the developers TRIED to overcome the limitation.
    Soul can also mean you feel that presence of the artist reaching out to you and you reach back. Sometimes you just like something enough that you find your own "artist's intrepretation" in there and see soul where there isn't really any.

    FORCED SOUL is when an artist recognizes that soul exists and sets out to capture that feeling through mimicry or copying tricks. Oh, people think it's soulful when this little aspect is super animated? Do that. Oh people find it soulful when we subvert the expectation right here? Do that.
    It is the same as someone trying to be really funny when they've already established themselves as a bit unrelatable and above you. It comes off as disingenous and undermines the effort put in- and more effort put in seems to make it worse.

    This is also down to intrepretation as well. Some people see Nintendo as disingenuously trying to win back the people complaining about how sterile the series has become, other people are seeing it as the complete opposite; a love letter to the people who had to put up with an era of soulless slop and promising a change of heart.

    IN REALITY, "forced soul" can just be shorthand for this idea in the presence of animation/ art that goes over the top to be quirky. Real soul subdues itself a bit and sometimes waits for you to reach out, while this "forced soul" breaks through the screen to try to reach to you before you even had the opportunity to give it a shot.

      Bad example, sounds like you are projecting resentment because you are inbread and hate people more inteligent then you.
      You have to be a real autist to think someone needs to be in your trailer park just to make up jokes. You must be a fan of larry the cable guy.
      Everything else you wrote makes sense though.

        I was trying to say woman without saying woman. The topic of funny women is a can of worms though.
        Ricky Gervais is a good example of someone who seems too full of themselves to make themselves an honest fool for example.

        fine. I didn't want to but some of you seem confused
        soul is when a game has qualities that couldn't have been planned, thought of, or executed other than by accident. it's like the game has a mind of it's own and the sum of it's parts add up to more than the constituents. it's inspired in a way that's not something someone could have just created out of their imagination. it has a divine aspect that unveils itself to the player, like a soul

        This is real but it's not what I'd call soul. Or it is a separate idea altogether sharing the same word.
        By your definition, almost every multiplayer game in existence is soulful because of the nature of emergent and meaningful interactions that can happen in multiplayer.
        When people talk about soul they're talking about an appealling sort of scrappiness usually. Like I said, you reach out and find something grabbing back at you- which COULD be those emerging concepts from soulful games.

          well yeah, multiplayer games have soul but that's only because they piggyback off the soul inherent to social interactions. anyone who has ever been to a lan party or played goldeneye with the boys back in the day can attest to this. that being said some of them have more soul than others
