Big breasts are more of a man asset. Sadly, women have to carry it around with them. But they belong to us.

Gaming / Re: Super Mario Collection (aka Allstars) slated to return soon
« on: September 14, 2010, 10:33:03 PM »I still don't see the difference. The only thing separating the Zelda Collector's Edition from this Mario Collection re-dux is the means that had to be done to acquire it.The difference being that one never really required money as a DIRECT means and was still a bonus for all purposes, had four games that were never packed in together, two of them being from the last generation of consoles, which is quite different from what is technically, and for all intents and purposes, a WII PORT OF A SINGLE. SNES. GAME.
But whether you got the Zelda one as a pack-in with a GC, renewing a subscription to your region's Nintendo magazine, or sending in proofs of purchase from select GC games, you STILL had to provide Nintendo with some matter of money to get at the goods. Just like what you have to do for the sake of this Mario Collection. Arguably more, considering the cheapest option was often the Nintendo magazine subscription at some 20 clams (+tax).
So, what's it gonna be? 4 Games (which you played years and years ago) that you get on a disc as part of a "Rewards Program" that requires you to spend some matter of money any way to get access to it? Or 4 games (which you played years and years ago) that you get on a disc for a flat, fairly budgeted price range at retail? Choice is yours, but again, they all boil down to doing a lot to being the same thing.

« on: September 14, 2010, 09:35:33 PM »Well, with all due respect, what was to be expected for like 2500 JPY as the asking price? This is basically as much in the way of a "budget pack cash in" as the Zelda Collector's disc for GC years ago, with the only real difference being that (at least for the JP side), you can't opt to just send in points/proof of purchase to redeem for the package deal; you actually have to pay out of pocket this time.A pack-in with TWO N64 games which basically can't be played right anywhere else since emulation for Majora's Mask is a nightmare (Back then, the thing crashed pretty much on every single day passing, and playing that with a keyboard's insanity. It's not just a two or three-button controller) is very different from a stand-alone game you have to PAY for. Nintendo intended the last one as a bonus. This? This is something that was already available as a game years and years ago. And they're selling it again, no changes.
To me, the only sad thing is that this isn't the "+World" package, and apparently Yoshi's Island doesn't "count" enough as a Mario game to even be considered for such a thing like this.

« on: September 14, 2010, 06:34:31 PM »Considering the Super Famicom version of Super Mario Collection still fetches about 40-50 USD USED in Japan, this re-packaging + niceties selling for basically 25-30 bucks is actually a "deal" in many ways.It's still Nintendo making a quick and cheap buck with a game that will sell alot and porting stuff aside, likely took ZERO DEVELOPMENT TIME.
Besides, this collection is mainly for the Japanese public who got turned onto "Mario Mania" thanks to last year's NSMBW, but are largely unaware, or otherwise don't use the Virtual Console. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if NoA relegated this package (or just the game disc) as a Club Nintendo exclusive.
Unless this actually brought a Super Famicom version of the game with it, of course.

Eggman's theme is an exception because villanic songs are always awesome.

Honestly, In SA1 and SA2, I can admit the soundtracks were awesome. Corny, but awesome, in a "pull our childish heartstrings" kind of way.
Sonic Heroes sucked in terms of theme songs, but had pretty good level songs.
Shadow, I don't even [tornado fang]ing remember.
Sonic the Hedgehog threw that [parasitic bomb] away. Songs just plain sucked, specially new remixes to old songs, and even level crap.
Unleashed was a bit better bit still really not good.
Secret Rings had SOME improvements but seriously, the more I hear, the less I like. (and yes, I admit, SO MANY [tornado fang]ing REPETITIONS OF THE TITLE)
I don't even [tornado fang]ing remember Black Knight.

Sonic music WAS just pretty much 80's corny metal for awhile. Although that pleases many, many people, the amount of cheese really isn't for everyone. By the time they got to "This World", I just pissed on that one. The difference from the original epic violin preview and the repetitive, almost torture-like regular version was unbearable.

Superman/Batman: Apocalypse has been leaked.
I'm halfway through and it's just like Public Enemies. Loeb story, improved by Timm in any way imaginable, but still unsalvageable.
Turner's art done in blocky shape sucks, leaving Bats and Supes with Ken Doll faces and weird lips.
Other than that, it's pretty cool. Barda's now delicious brown big woman who somehow grows smaller when she puts on her armor.

« on: September 13, 2010, 11:48:13 PM »Actually, the entire experience, and the only experience that matters, is about whether you enjoy the game or not, regardless of how good or how bad it looks or how well it plays or doesn't play. It's the same with movies or music.Personal taste and quality are two different things.
A person can have Big Rigs and Daikatana as his favorite games of all time, in which he or she had the best game experience ever.
Quality is based on graphical beauty, intuitive controls, level design, replay value, if the game has bugs or crashes or other things... Not really on taste.
Although yes, beauty IS subjective, but it's still not hard to measure in terms of gameplay graphics.

« on: September 13, 2010, 09:47:18 PM »There's a rumor going around that all the major players in the Brightest Day biweekly are going to get their own series. Hawkman and Firestorm have my interest, Martian Manhunter and Deadman maybe, but I'll pass on Aquaman. I'm entirely sure why but Aquaman never appealed to me, all his supporting characters were far more enticing to me. Heck, Mera is the only reason why I'm following the Aquaman portions. That and Johns' writing with Reis' pencils.Aquaman can be quite cool when he wants to.
I'll never forget that one line towards a villain:
"You're offering me control of the world above? I'm already a king of 72% of the planet. Why would I settle for less?"

« on: September 13, 2010, 09:42:14 PM »I played Dirt 2 for PSP. Physics were awful.Yeah, the PSP's GT was damn awful. Failing to understand that GT's main thing was to have the very best graphics and physics, portraying reality for that time was the studio's downfall. You don't downgrade a series that's about realism.
I wouldn't count DiRT as Rally, but Off-Road Mixed Vehicles
The Physics are superb in WRC for PSP.
I don't know about the console version of Dirt 1 or 2.
WRC seems the be the standard for Rally now.
If you're looking for a console game...

As for PSP, don't get GT. It's soul crushingly boring.

Seriousness: 9
Physics: 9
DiRT 2(PSP)

Solid Future racer.

Ford Off-Road(PSP)

Anyway, I already own DIRT 2, Wipeout and Motorstorm for the PSP. Lately, I've been playing Forza 3 and Pure on the 360. I do prefer arcadey driving most of the time, but when I'm really in the mood, I love realistic racing games.

« on: September 13, 2010, 09:37:30 PM »Just because games with good graphics and bad gameplay are bad, doesn't mean that a game with good game play and bad graphics is good. Good graphics are good, good gameplay is good. From what we've seen, gameplay looks solid. It should not make us bad people to want graphics that match the gameplay's quality.Yes they do. They need to be good. Graphics need to be good because a game needs to look good. The visual aspect is half of the whole experience. Not just the gameplay, but what you SEE.
tl;dr
Graphics: Don't need to be good, but a game with bad graphics for no reason is unacceptable.
Let me give you a good example of an ugly game.
This is Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon. It's an XBox game. It's [tornado fang]ing UGLY. It has bad graphics.
This is Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. It's a Game Boy 8-bit black-and-white game. It has awesome graphics.
Everyone, get it through your thick [tornado fang]ing heads once and for all. Good graphics are NOT ABOUT TECHNOLOGY. They are about A GAME LOOKING GOOD. A game could have the most detailed graphics ever and still be [tornado fang]ing ugly, because it has bad graphics. It's not about technology, it's about if it looks good or not. And half of the experience is about the game looking good. The other half is playing well.
I think I get what you mean SB. For instance, 8-bit graphics are NOT bad. However, if MM9 and 10 had looked like the original donkey kong, that would have been bad.YES.
IMO Mega man Universe needs some AA and a few more polys to be considered a game with good graphics.
