[quote name='Strell']That's hilarious, because there's a lot of proof that the system is more powerful. You can ask
Julian Eggebrecht for more proof if you'd like, one of the big honchos over at Factor 5. You know, the guys who made Lair, who are currently only developing products for the PS3, and thus have absolutely no reason to talk at
all about how much power the Wii has.
You might as well tell me next that Halo 2 could have been done on the Xbox, since both iterations use the same main character.
I didn't compare them. I said if you want to reduce all games to one sentence - which YOU did first, by the way - it's not difficult to do at all. And since you seem fit to think it's absolutely devoid of any kind of story, then I thought I'd take it a step further and call you out on your bullshit hypothesis.
Now I'll admit - you got me on character development, since there's zero amount of that in Galaxy. Bravo. But I guess if that were the
only thing available in the realm of story-telling, there would be a problem. One that pompous jerks could twist around on their tiny little fingers while pretending that made them feel so much
smarter than everyone else.
Once again, "I hate the fact other people are enjoying something else, and while I'm at it, I'll make some other dumbshit comments about how everyone who likes something more than me is an idiot."
Good god. I don't care for a lot of popular games, but I don't go around bashing the fans OR taking it out on the fact that said game might be held in high regard. I'll leave it simply that the game isn't for me and that everything after that is trivial.
For example, if I purchased a PS3 and complained none of the games appealed to me, I'd get railroaded by a trail of mindless fanboys (though, sadly, they are without their figurehead, TMK). Which is why I don't have a PS3. I know the games aren't interesting to me, and I leave it at that. If anyone else wants to pick up the system and enjoy it, then ok.
So how many games in the last year have you bought that have no resemblance
at all to anything before it? I imagine there's less than a handful at best, since everything builds on everything before it and tends to be a reiteration of a reiteration of
something prior.
Also, bravo on changing your argument. So you've gone from "the game is stupid/I don't like it/everyone who likes it is a dumdum" to "REPURCHASE IT ON THE VIRTUAL CONSOLE YOU SHEEPLE!"
There should be a rule somewhere that you lose the argument the moment you start talking about other shit that has nothing to do with what you started talking about, because you're a simple minded
fool who has to run away to different retarded half-points to bitch and moan about because you can't defend anything else you said previously.
Oh wait, there
is a rule.
Oddly enough, I don't think SMG is revolutionary. I think it is evolutionary. And I think it is a spectacular game.
Now, sadly, there's always going to be tards like you running around screaming at me for liking the game and putting a lot of works in my mouth, and looking rather idiotic while they do so. The only reason you can get away with this shit is because inevitably there's going to be some other mouth-breather drag himself in here and say the exact same thing, all the while completely ignoring anything contrary to their narrowness.
I never played Mario Baseball. Don't own it, didn't rent it, no one around me is really a gamer. And I'm sorry, where did we have to bring this up at?
Oh, yes, that's right. You can't say anything, so you have to think of
more shit to talk about.
But to be fair, I imagine it'll mirror Strikers - a few more players, slightly upgraded graphics, maybe some more items or something. Hell if I know. What the
was there in the original? They might even slip in multiplayer Wifi. And it'll either be a good game or not.
I've said this before and I'll say it again - I think Mario as a
character is milked. But I damn sure don't think 3 platformers over the course of 10 years is outrageous, especially when his rival mascot characters get FAR MORE games in the same span of time. Nintendo can milk some shit pretty bad, but they can also be surprisingly restrained when they want to be. I think one Mario game on the last two platforms and only one on the Wii so far is pretty odd, don't you think? Same with Smash Bros. They could release Smash Bros every year and watch it sell a few million copies around the globe if they want. And they could have release Wii Sports 2 by now if they wanted.
The jury is out if Wii Sports 2 will come out or not. Or Wii Play 2.
Do go on and tell me how any of this has any
ing thing to do with the original topic at hand.
I don't think it's any kind of secret that even the diehard Nintendo fans tend to not give a shit about Mario Party. It's also no secret that Hudson makes them, and that Hudson is a shitty developer, and that their review scores get lower and lower with each iteration. The graphics are terrible, the minigames are rehashes of rehashes of rehashes, absolutely no redeeming qualities out of the games beyond the fact that they MIGHT be good for one rental provided you have a ton of drunk friends over.
But again, what does that have to do with anything? I'm getting tired of talking to a pompous moving target.
I said the Legend of Frank bullshit is just that - bullshit. I gave reasons why, I backed up the argument, and I made a very good case for myself. You, meanwhile, have come back and totally turned it into a gigantic attack on the entirety that is the system, its games, its developers, and its fans.
What I'm tired of is the exact same retarded arguments in this forum. I think it's no secret that the gaming community as a whole didn't like Nintendo prior to the Wii, and that the story really hasn't changed much. Which doesn't bother me - they've done quite a bit to earn some of those negative opinions. That's all good and fine. But I'm tired of the idiotic arguments being brought up that could be leveled at ANY number of developers across the entire industry, but for some reason, they aren't.
I don't bother to go into the 360 or PS3 forums, because there's no reason for me to be in there. But I'm willing to bet there's just as many stupid things said with no other reason but to bash Sony or Microsoft, such as "The 360 only has shooters" or "The PS3 is too expensive." And I'm sure there's just as many people in there who just want these stupid arguments to
stop because it's nothing more than bullshit opinion after bullshit uninformed ignorant
opinion spoken like it's fact.[/quote]Christ man, I don't like my MOM enough to post that much to defend her, let alone a videogame company.
I think a lot of the Wii hate is directed more towards the Nintendo fanboys, who are by far my loyal and dedicated than their Sony and Microsoft adversaries. My roommate for example. If I even jokingly say something bad about Miyamoto or Nintendo, he takes it personal.
