brawl overrated

[Takeshi245]

There's a a lot of hype for this game, but you can't say it's overrated until the game comes out. I think that Brawl will be an excellent game but it won't live up to everyone's expectations. If you want something that's overrated, check out Halo 2.

 

[User33]

One of the worst threads on this board

 

[WR3K]

no, its not even over hyped

think, games like TP and MP# come along, you play them, love them, replay them one day... but then they are gone

brawl is bening made by truely extraordinary ppl and is going to last well into the next generation


me and my friend still play smash more then all other games on my wii, or his 360 and ps3


brawl will be what takes our lives for the next years to come
infact, its under hyped



now, HALO, THAT is over hyped up the ***, its not even that good HL2 is way better

i think brawl is waaay too overrated, i highly doubt it will be as good as melee. They changed many things that smashers consider fundamental in players' games today. most ppl assume that since smash turned out so well, brawl would be the same, or even better, but i think there just wont be as much skill involved...wut do u guys think?

before you guys start flaming me, just realize that this is just my opinion and that i want to see what u guys think about the GAME, not about what i said... so dont get freaking butthurt or offended

I think your wrong < just my opinion i think brawl will be an amazing hit>

 

[Drik Khaail]

wow, all the rage. does it really matter what this guy really says? he even admit that he was bored, and had nothing better to do! and on his real question: brawl imo will be better than melee, simply because even through the way you do combos, you can still do them normally, and the fact that theres gonna be way better graphics, way better gameplay, and how come noone ever mentioned the oncoming story mode?

 

[Takeshi245]

Being bored doesn't mean you should make stupid threads.

 

[lumpey]

i loved melee so much before i found the existence of advanced techs. after that, well, i still loved it the same. advanced techs just changed my play-style .

and thats why i think brawl is not overrated/hyped or whatever. I'm waitin for it with the same, if not the double of the excitement i had when i was waiting for melee. advanced techs? meh thats optional. there will be advanced techs anyway (prolly). sakurai and his team, OR all these smash freaks in the whole world, will always find something.

Personally after playing Smash64 I didn't think they could improve on it, but they did with the rushed product that was Melee.

 

[ye25]

Pretty good rushed product...

no ones played it.
every sequel gets hyped up before its release.
? thats like saying mario sunshine is better than galaxy.
nintendo needs this game to be good so that it can beat the other systems out.
i think its underrated.

Melee? Rushed? What madness is this? I can tell that put a lot of time in that game. [/sarcasm]

 

[maxpower1227]

This game will be flat out better than Melee in just about every way. Period.

 

[ye25]

Except, the wii is hard to find and kinda expensive -.-

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

Change is good. Melee never would have been good as it was if they kept it identical to the original Smash (plus good graphics and more characters). Brawl will have many aspects we are not used to, but that is fine. We will fall in love with new physics.

Honestly, if Melee is so "perfect" then keep playing it. No one is making you play Brawl.

 

[susu_atari]

Remember, Sakurai said he had a team of pros helping him test the game. They wouldn't let him ruin it, would they?

 

[ye25]

uh, did he mention the pro's names? =D

 

[Team Giza]

No. It will be different. But saying flat out better in every aspect is stupid.

It would be like saying Melee is flat out better than SSB64. It really isn't. SSB64 has its own style and plays very differently. It has its own kind of gameplay and charms that were lost in the transition to melee.

Its like saying that Street Fighter Alpha 3 was flat out better in every way than Street Fighter Alpha 2. Yes, SFA3 had more characters and new functions. But there were things about Alpha 2 that were different and made it in some ways more fun in certain circumstances.

Any differences in gameplay are subjective, but it's not debateable that Brawl will have more characters, more moves, better graphics, a much bigger and better soundtrack, more items, more dynamic stages, a FAR superior single player mode,
much better cinematic presentation... I could go on.

 

[KlassixFTW]

Pretty good rushed product...

lol yeaahh

Don't buy it then. Keep playing Melee. There you go. End of story.

 

[Limey]

I haven't read any of the thread, and i'm pretty sure other people have said this before me.

But how can it be overrated when it's not even out yet? You can't really pass judgement on it until you play it for yourself. Then you can decide whether it was overrated, or overhyped.

 

[BoG]

Sorry, haters. Brawl WILL NOT SUCK. It cannot. Why? Let me tell you why.

Nintendo has WAY TOO MUCH to lose if it sucks.

1. It is a big holiday game, and the only other big holiday game for the Wii is Mario Galaxy, which is going to be awesome. Nintendo must have faith if they expect it to be up to par with Galaxies quality, as well as other huge holiday guarunteed hits, like Halo 3, Assasin's Creed, Heavenly Sword, Stranglehold, Tony Hawk, Ratchet & Clank, Army of Two, Haze, Quake Wars, Beautiful Katamari, and Mass Effect, all of which are are for the competing consoles. Brawl has to stand toe-to-toe with all of them, so Nintendo has to go full force into the game.

2. Nintendo has gotten the rights to 3rd party characters to put into the game. If they put these characters in a bad game, why should the companies who own the characters want to do anything with Nintendo in the future? They've given their biggest names a bad rep (not that sonic already has a good one...) So, too keep good 3rd party relations, Nintendo can't have a bad game.

3. Money. Think about it. The third party rights, the big development team, and the elite list of composers, not too mention all the time that has to have gone into the project. I highly doubt the development has been cheap, and if the game is bad, it won't sell, and Nintendo will have taken a huge financial hit. If it's good, it'll sell, and Nintendo will have done well. Nintendo relies on the game to do well with how much they've put in.

4. The fans. The hardcore fans. The dedicated gamers are doubting Nintendo's love for them, and Brawl is a game that pays tons of fanservice the Nintendo loyal. If it's no good, we'll be the first to know, we won't buy it, and Nintendo will just get even more crap from the ones who have been with them all along.

5. Melee was a game that has been popular for as long as the Gamecube was alive. It was a game that kept selling, and people kept playing, which kept gamecubes being played. If Brawl sucks, this won't happen. If theres ever a large game drought in the future, there may not be much to dust off a Wii. Nintendo needs a multiplayer game to keep people coming, and as Melee did that for the cube, Brawl has got to do it for the Wii.


No, my friends, it won't suck. Not to mention, have you even seen the game in action? Looked at the screens? IT LOOKS GREAT! Sakurai is trying to improve it, and I'm sure he's doing it. Not to mention, Hideo Kojima loves it, and he knows his stuff.

Rest easy, friends, Brawl is going to rock this world. maybe even another, too.

 

[ye25]

People will buy brawl regardless, its kinda like Harry Potter the 7th, they will mass produce brawl and probably the wii as well.
