The next Metroid game will feature three more gauges:Feces-meter can power the Shitbeam, one of Samus' most powerful weapons! I wonder what kind of doors it could be used to open...
Feces-meter, Tear-Meter and Stress-Meter
You must take care of all three and keep them balanced or Samus will suffer a physical/psychic shock which is an insta-kill.
I really should become a game designer.
Now you're being ridiculous. You're comparing air headed media whores to someone who just has a different opinion to yourself. MTV dating shows is nothing like enjoying a good jRPG. jRPGs are 99.9% of the time more intelligent.For this kind of answers, is why the internet invented the "U Mad" response. =P
I started the new Kingdom Hearts game. The controls SUCK. The PS2 controller is NOT the same as the PSP. The joystick is a lot closer to the directional pad. So comparing it to the PS2 is a pointless argument. So it works great for you. Great. Doesn't mean it is for everyone else.
I like the story so far. Yeah the first one was simple, yeah it's different now, but Mario isn't the same as it was. Metroid sure as hell has evolved and changed from the basically faceless platformer it used to be. The game is growing, evolving, making it's own lore. You don't complain when the Halo books come out and flesh out the game universe. This is how they choose to do it. We don't have much control in how they make games. But we can like what we like.
I am tired of reading you completely demeaning someone because they like something different than you. It's one thing to say you disagree but comparing him to something that you mean obviously in a negative character destroying way is so childish I can't just read it anymore without saying something. Be more mature about this. People always disagree.
You can define what YOU think is wrong with games. But you don't have a right to say that about one person. Saying "FPS games are stupid" isn't a personal attack. Telling someone "Thinks YOU like are why all new video games are [parasitic bomb]" is not okay. So just learn what an opinion is. And start respecting other people's. I'm not just talking about with Ares either.
lol Twilight. I'll never understand that [parasitic bomb].Twilight is a fantastic phenomenon. You know the Hero's Journey? The prototype for every single adventure ever? Meyer basically (and probably unknowingly) created the same sort of prototype in a story that mirrors all fanfics ever. When a 13-year old (or someone with the maturity of such) is reading something like it, it's as if they're reading their own fanfic, starring THEM. It's accidental genius, I tell ya.
And well, it takes all kinds really. I think the majority of Gaming Community now is so [tornado fang]ing stupid it drives me apeshit. But I realize without those drug induced nutcases, I wouldn't be where I am now, holding a PSP playing stuff that actually appeals to me. (currently enjoying Valkyria Chronicles 2 with all my heart)
I'm not sorry for what I like, not ashamed for being unable to click with the majority of gamers... because I can still appreciate things that SANE gamers appreciate. A good platformer like Mario. The Zelda Series, Metroid (anything not Prime based) and the majority of the old Final Fantasies. I appreciate the classics. I appreciate a lot of the things most RPMers like, which consist MOSTLY of Classic Gamers (aside from you new bloods, of course, which are a diverse bunch. Not that that is bad really).
All in all, I am me. No more, no less. And I love gaming as much as you do or the next person. I just love it in a different way.
Don't remind me.Don't worry. We were all like that. I was like that, long ago. Heck, I was worse. I was at a Sonic board. Had my own fan character and everything, back in '04. Seems long ago now. Anyway, that is just a phase everyone goes through online, before realising that they're being kinda obnoxious and a bit of a cliché. Then we're welcomed into the group and we chill around while checking out the cool stuff.
I hate everyone equally. And by everyone, I mean everyone.Awwwwww, I hate you too! =3
You newbies. You oldbies. Crazy ass Flash. The good version of me. The bad version of me. Your Mom. Vixy. Jericho. PB. Magical Trevor.
Oh wait, I'm naming all the people I love. Huh, same thing really.
*shrugs* Dude, I'm not the only one really. That's why there ARE these things just as there are the things you like. Such as thing as "marketability" and what have you. There's a consumer base for things that exist. Another man's trash is another man's treasure, etc. etc.I know, it's why Twilight is so popular. Sure it's unquestionable [parasitic bomb], but people like it. Same as there are people who like MTV dating reality shows, Sarah Palin, Scientology... The list is endless. But your taste kinda englobes pretty much what are considered the worst things in gaming nowadays. I'm sorry for that, dude.
Hopefully after meeting me you can realize there are no absolutes with this [parasitic bomb] anymore. Someone will like something somewhere and they have their own legitimate reasons for it, whether you can comprehend it or not.
I tend to be rather picky when it comes to games. It's why I blabber about something I'm not experinced with (I mostly tend to recap of other's opinions) and it's also why I'm not a huge fan of sports games.No shame in that. Having a taste is what defines you. Just try to respect other genres for what they are, based on their own merits, even when you don't like them.
And I'm of the opposite thinking, of course. I think that KH1 was merely an experiment to see where they could go and a testbed for a new idea. KH:COM and KH2 were an attempt to see how far they could go with the vague ideas they established. It's things like this that evolve that are my prime suspect of intrigue. There was so much potential with KH1 and they helped realize some of that in KH2 and further in BBS. I personally hope they continue to do so.Wow. Story over gameplay, theme over narrative, appreciation of absolute stereotypes, enjoying Final Fantasy over Disney, actually LIKING the way Kingdom Hearts is getting bullshitty over the original concept, liking QTEs better than deeper and still intuitive gameplay...
I've never been a big fan of Disney. Never will. Disney ain't bad, don't get me wrong... I just never clicked with it. Frankly, I would be satisfied if KH dumped all the Disney stuff and attained more original content and more FF stuff. I don't exactly love Final Fantasy, in fact I tend to be one of it's greater critics... but it CLICKS better together than Sora running around with a crazy ass mage duck and a mutated dog with a SHIELD for a weapon. Seriously, my partners were useless. I only liked having Riku as my partner. However, Mickey is actually pretty badass as a Keyblade Wielder. Always liked Mickey though, despite my general disdain for Disney.
That said, Final Form is a great outfit for Sora. But then, I just like epic white and silver outfits.
Added Note: I do appreciate that they are making the Disney content more serious than it actually was though. It isn't HORRIBLE immersion, it's just not GREAT immersion.
Not responding to your entire post because PB has most of it covered.Last time I saw it, there was no overabundance of new Mario or Mario-like titles on the Wii. Buckets and buckets of old games you need to re-buy for ludicrous prices with absolutely no extra features whatsoever and all of their original regional flaws, but no amazing wealth of new content fit for those people. Although it's slowly formed a good list of titles, most of the games on the Wii are shorter, more throwaway kind of titles. And Nintendo themselves are cashing in on this audience.
But on this, your logic fails. I said the console was ideal for Mario veterans, that by no means implies that non-Mario-veterans should not be playing it. Never, anywhere, did I state who the Wii excludes, so your arguing as to what other groups the Wii includes disproves nothing I said, and is thus irrelevant.
"Everyone" includes all manners of gamers. If it were designed solely for casual gamers, it would by definition, not be a console for everyone. I think using "everyone" in any such context is complete marketing bullshit, mind you, but I'm just saying. You're making an effort to exclude/segregate gaming classes where no need for such actually exists.
Not responding to your entire post because......eh screw it, I got nothing.You're being (gasp) CIVILIZED? I am officially in Bizarro World!
My oldest brother said the same thing about SMB3, due to sharing items (and about Contra, due to stealing lives). And in fact, in that regard, NSMBWii is superior in helping you in multiplayer, because not only do map items apply to all players, but in mid-stage you have the opportunity to get high-level power-ups even while your entire group is small. Further, you can create Toad Houses (all varieties, items or lives) at will with flagpole timing, which in single-player requires revisiting a stage you already cleared and carrying an NPC through the entire stage.Dear God. You still don't understand. My point is that there is no POINT in playing the game in multiplayer other than making the game harder and having someone to [tornado fang] around with. The game isn't suited for co-op in any way in the gameplay and levels themselves. And the shared powerups further increase the point of non-helping. Having powerups for one person or another contributes for cooperation in games like Streets of Rage, where your health is lower and you tell the other guy he should get the health item. In this game, though? There's no point on ridding the world of enemies unless they're in your way, and there's pretty much no chance to help the other person out of some kind of mess unless you're really lucky or well-positioned, and going through a tough level with someone else doesn't make it easier, it makes it harder. So there's pretty much no point except for screwing off with other people.
Quoted for truth. Mario is not rocket science. As sad as this is yes I have known people who celebrate clearing the first level and can progress no further (this was SMB3, my childhood friends sucked at gaming), but I also know plenty of non-gamers who can do a decent job of pulling their weight in NSMBWii. One, in particular, who can't even grasp the concept of a freaking charge attack.I did agree with the simplicity of Mario that makes it able to be played by everyone. Why do you consider sad to know people who find it hard? Different people, different ways of thinking, different kinds of excellence in different motor abilities. If everyone could just learn how to be good at something that's exceedingly simple and almost primal, everyone in the planet would be gods of sex. I know plenty of people who suck at Mario, but are good at other games. And example, you lack the ability to master something as sickeningly simple as a dual analog strafe/camera control.
You're on a MegaMan board, remember? We ALL live there. In this corner of the internet, Batty is the odd one.So NOW you make class segregations, huh? Cool double standards, bro.
Like divorce, basically MJ being fed up with Parker's second life, instead of making a goddamn deal to the freaking devil. At least it would've made more sense, logical, and push foward Peter's character than taking five steps foward, and few steps back.That would AGE him. Quesada wants to make him into the forever teen.
y do u h8 me so much OMG ITS OVER 9000! AND THIS IS SPARTA. WOOT.You did use to be like that, you know. =P Thankfully, you're a decent person now, from what I see.
..What does Quesada have against MJ?...I don´t get it? Peter and MJ belong to eachother similiar to Lois and Clark...He grew up reading comics where Peter was a bachelor. Now he's head of Marvel. Basically, he's butthurt because of nostalgia, hates MJ because he believes Peter should forever be a mindless irresponsible teenager, and wants to make everything the way he was when he was a kid. It's like going to Deviantart or Fanfiction.net and giving some kid the keys to his own favorite franchise. He's making the story he's always wanted to make, while the original creators and best authors of the franchise sigh and watch their creation be ripped to pieces because some douchey kid who believes more in his own happiness than on others' got ahold of it.
Setting up all this to make them break up seems tad extreme...

Videos aside, anyone over the age of, I'll say 6-7 who cannot figure out how to play New Super Mario Bros, which is essentially 10x Easier Super Mario Bros, should not be allowed to play platformer games. Period. My 5 year old niece figured it out. Of course, she is MY niece after all!Not everyone has the keen interest and newfond dexterity of a child finding new things. I played Alex Kidd in Miracle World when I was 4. I taught my sister how to play some games with me when she was 3. Yet my mother still can't press the [tornado fang]ing "on" button on the net TV box because she's used to the normal antenna instead of a cable fee, and her mind cannot possibly comprehend turning on two separate things to watch television. Different people for different stuff. I do agree that the Mario games are easy and intuitive enough for anyone to play. The point I'm trying to make in the first place, is that more people besides hardcore gamers with time on their hands play them, as opposed as to what Hipershell was saying.
Agreed on the Virtual Console, for the most part. The fact that it does not offer online multiplayer for certain games, Mario Kart 64 being the greatest example, kinda sucks. Although, that's secretly a blessing, because I'd probably play nothing else!
As for E3, that's simple PR. Every company does it. Some do it well, some [tornado fang] up at times, others just completely fail. PR is PR.
LoL, bullshit. Everything you described is 100% dependent on the people you're playing with, not the game itself.
Compare that to today's platformers. Modern Sonic and Mario included. Mario is practically surviving on what's left of SM64's coding. Sonic however.. let's just hope Sonic Colors performs well. Most Shooters today are basically thriving on the Call of Duty (or should I say.. Doody) coding. Sports titles on the other hand.. eh. Let those rot.I love it when people talk such bullshit. Mario has crossed so many genres it's pretty damn hard to track him, and each and every single one of his new games has been completely different from the other, in both levels, environment, and gameplay. There were more similarities in the first Mario games than the current ones. The current ones keep evolving him beyond what he in, in the good way.
So, guess the only super that hasn't been Tampered by Quesada is Iron Man? I might look into those.It's halfway decent, but not really as good as the stuff DC has gotten me used to. If you want to read anything good with Iron Man, read Extremis by Warren Ellis.
That's what the bubble and super guide are for. "Inexperienced gamers are at a disadvantage" is a criticism that can be made at virtually any game. In fact, if you can't, then more often than not the game is considered worse off for it (case in point: Mario Kart Wii). But for those who have been living under a rock, NSMBWii's in-game videos will give you all the 1-Up tutoring you could ask for. All it takes is a few Star Coins.Of course. Because every single person who casually picks up the game and plays it in a friendly environment is thereby obligated to learn how to play it through a series of videos. That's [tornado fang]ing retarded, son.
And besides that, the seasoned Mario player is EXACTLY the kind of person the Wii is meant for. Virtual Console at launch mean anything to you? This pop-classification of gamers as either "casual" or "hardcore" is naive, it is merely an extension of the same "kiddy" label that's been thrown at Nintendo since the N64. The gaming press considers the "hardcore" games to be M-rated shooters and annualized sports titles, while virtually ANY sidescroller, much less one that does not feature orchestras and fancy particle effects, is criticized as a poor value. Casual games, meanwhile, have existed long before the Wii (dare I say, Tetris?), they simply didn't threaten anyone's manhood back then.The Virtual Console is a quick way for Nintendo to make money out of selling roms without having any kind of work offering any of the good options roms offer. Outside of that, aside from recent times, Nintendo has maintained quite a big turn for the casual during alot of the Wii's run. Remember E3 2008? Nintendo has even admitted they's making a console for "everyone". That "for the hardcore" line was very unfortunate coming from you.
Most multi-player games have the potential to [tornado fang] up each other. And why? Because puzzle-solving as the sole basis of interaction comes off as forced. Think of the classic giants of co-op gaming, such as Contra or Turtles In Time, and never once was it REQUIRED that Player 2 be there, or that Players 1 and 2 hit the same block at the same time, or whatever. Many times the greatest multiplayer games are great single-player games that just happen to allow bringing a friend along and manage to do so seamlessly (see Star Wars Rebel Strike for a more recent example). As lovely as the "put your heads together" approach is, it's a distinct style with its own advantages and disadvantages. Ever try playing Four Swords Adventure in single-player?Which multiplayer co-op game EVER, in the entire history of gaming, was tougher in co-op than in singleplayer mode simply because the fact that other players are there kept hindering your progress? There's such a thing as good multiplayer co-op, which is when players cooperate with each other to do something, and bad multiplayer co-op. The simple fact that one can throw another does not make for good cooperation. Good cooperation is when players actively help one, whether it's fighting enemies, protecting each other or solving scenario puzzles cooperatively. That is what cooperative play means. This is just... playing while having some fucks there who might screw up your game.
I can tell that this would go nice with a few classy orchestrated tracks.Can't help but think that that was one of the few things Kingdom Hearts got right.
If the homos don't like female boobs then that's they bad....Why shouldn't? They may not be attracted to women, but boobs are so round and bouncy and fun!
