Ya, fest at Nolan's and blah details have just been posted by him himself lol.
I'll be there after I have some tasty 19th birthday food.
CO discovered the progression of Brawl's metagame, banning planking.
Hi px, long time no see. I just don't play like a *** most of the time, the only manner where I play gay is use of my tornado. I don't plank, maybe I should start though.
I can see last years, but I'm not sure how you could have disliked the last few years. That, and Nintendo has repeatedly stated that they no longer are using E3 as a place to launch big news, so we may or may not hear anything good. Punch-Out!!, Sin and Punishment 2, Wii Channel download 4.0, et.c all came after E3, after all.
I'm not sure what you mean by this, actually. And if Nintedo doesn't show up with the good, I expect the whole thing to fail. Last years was just having the Big 3 show us video footage that has been on sites like IGN for months, and ultimately offering nothing new. GoWIII being announced was nice, but not unexpected. FF13 going to the 360 should have been seen a mile away. And I don't expect much more from M$ or Sony this year. I actually think the PS3 might have a strong showing, bu the forecast for the 360 looks bleak. And Big N is a mystery, as usual.
See, I find this interesting, because Twilight Princess was accused of being TOO MUCH like OoT/older Zelda games. Ultimately, there's a wide range of opinions on what Zelda games should be like, but as long as the story, puzzles, and dungeons are there, nothing is lost. Nothing is known how the train will work, but I will bet anything it's basically like a boat on land-it should add or take away anything from th game, really. Plus, I treat all handheld Zelda differently than the console ones, so no harm done. There admittedly was a very good feel with OoT and MM that I don't think has (or ever will) be recaptured, but maybe that's a good thing, so as to prevent the series from going stale.
nintendo has had LOTS of good things. you just havnt tried it.
lawl.
They all pale in comparison to the shimmery, untainted euphoria of Cooking Mama.
Sorry I didn't say bye when I left, and I'm sorry we didn't touch *****.
That's just your personal standards not being met, which isn't a good way to judge how a VG company has been doing. Conversly, I liked all 3 of those games, so our opinions cancle. We thus rely on game-ratings and sales, which have been very positive for all 3. And you're missing quite a few games there, bud.
And where were you when MP DS, NSMB, PH, FE: Shadow Dragon, Kirby Sqeak Squad, Pokemon D/P/Plat, Yoshi's Island 2, Kirby SSU, AW: Day of Ruin, AC:WW, etc. etc. were released? Years, as you said, implies more than one, and all of those came out in the last 2 years. And those are only the ones I personally consider "good." Not to mention, we were just discussing the up coming Spirit Tracks...
F-Zero Z has been a registered domain name for half a year now, so it may be in the works. Pateince, it's likely to come.
Really now? Now that's interesting...care to mention even 3 Sony games that are worth anything? Because historially, Sony does VERY little developing, and not much of it is worth much. Perhaps you are confusing 1st party with 3rd here (or most likely 2.5 parties), because there's not much worth mentioning beyond Killzone2, Drakes, and Resistance. Just throwing that out there.
I kinda find it funny that your grouped the PS3 and 360 seperately, because they are nearly one in the same-90% of any good games that comes out on one, comes out on the other. And so far, the 360 has been ****** the PS3 in exclusives-there's a reason why the 360 is outselling the PS3 after all, 360 is just a cheaper PS3 with better games (also with a 33%+ RRoD rate).
True that, new IPs are always the best. I 'm looking towards the new IP Borderlands myself, as well as Boyonetta.
Just about every main series has gotten a very good addition to the line-up; only Star Fox, F-Zero, and Pikmin are missing by my count, and at least 1, possibly 2 of those are in the works.
Completely true. HOWEVER (as I will point out next) I believe the few gems for the 3rd party Wii vastly outshine the dreck that is the 3rd party line up of the other two.
See, this is my main gripe, because I'd have to ask you what you considr "good." But the vast majority of the 360/PS3 owners consider Resistance, Drakes, MGS4, Halo 3, GoW2, CoD4/5, UTIII, RS:LV, etc. If you cant see the pattern yet, these all have something in common: "shooters." That's all both of those libraries are, are shooters. Which I guess is fine if that's what you like, but no one could take that much of the same genre without being bored. And that's the thing-just about all of those games I listed are GOOD, just amazingly interchangeable. Compare that to the variety and zanyness like Boom Blox, NMH, MadWorld, Trauma Center etc., and you basically have conformist bore-fests vs fun variety. We can point of non-shooter examples like SF4 and Oblivion all we want, but that's 5, maybe 10% of the game library.
Which is why I'm always vastly more excited about what Nintendo has to show rather than the other two for one very important reason-they are a GAMING company first and foremost. They build unique products, build them correctly (no RRoD or DREs here), and actually MAKE games, and **** good games. When you watch a press conference for the other two, it's not Microsoft or Sony you care about-they do nothing. It's the 3rd partys. So at this point, I can expect anything announced for the Wii, be it from 1st or 3rd party, will be unique and worth my time (obvious shovelware mini-game crap not included).
OMG! I'm going to start trying that. I'm sure my spider will be up to standards.
I don't play many of the hueg OMGGAMES that come out. (See: the FPS/occasionally other games that come out and everyone likes for about a week.) Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Overlord, and FEAR 2 weren't anything awesome and worth nothing more than the effort it takes to torrent them all. Which is why
is also legit. Download the PC version of a PS3/360 game, play through it, get bored, delete it.
On the contrary, I grew up with an NES. I own pretty much every good game to come out on it too. And while my SNES no longer works, that doesn't mean it's a system I passed up. Most of my favorite games are on it, including my all time favorite: Super Metroid.
The only developers that are falling out are the ones who were either A. In a major financial situation prior to the economy's death. or B. Lazy-***/crazy-*** *******s. See 3D Realms.
Pretty true, though some console combinations are better than others.
As old as this is, it's still hilarious.
No, it's not. My standards are the company's previous standards. Nintendo USED to be good, now they suck. This is because they've abandoned almost everything that made Nintendo a great, fun-producing company. All I see now are games that try to cater to ***-wipes.
I can see why you liked MP3, TP, and Galaxy, they were top-notch games. I also like the games... But that doesn't mean I wasn't disappointed. I didn't name any other games, because as far as I'm concerned, they don't exist.
Ok, maybe I exaggerated a bit... But you must agree, Nintendo really should back up the DS more. Besides, half of those games were mediocre, even though I bought all of them.
Hopefully. And hopefully Nintendo doesn't bend it over and ***-**** it. F-Zero has been a series for core gamers, if they **** with it even in the slightest to keep it open to casuals, I'm going to give up.
I never said Sony develops GGs, even though they do have a couple decent studios, I just said they release GGs. And in most cases, they publish 2nd/3rd party games, so stop nit-picking...
Not true. 90% of the 360's library is either multiplat or not worth mentioning, but the biggest draw of the PS3 is its exclusives, which make up a larger portion of its library.
EL OH EL. The 360's exclusives don't hold a candle to PS3's exclusives. What world are you living in? The 360 may be cheaper, but I'm willing to bet that in the end you spend more money on it that you would on a PS3.
Once again, you short-hand the PS3's exclusives, which you cannot buy on PC, whereas 360 exclusives are usually available on PC. See how that works?
Borderlands is looking great, indeed.
Not necessarily a 'very good addition' but an addition nonetheless. Star Fox has been gypped out of a GG for over a decade.
PSN/Live Arcade games are just as 'zany' and original as any of the games you list. I'm not going to refute the awesomeness of MadWorld or NMH, but they hardly make the Wii worthwhile.
I don't think Nintendo considers themselves a gaming company anymore. They are hardly interested in releasing good games. Miyamoto has gone off the deep end. 90% of the content Nintendo releases IS going to be casual. Even something like Sin & Punishment 2 is going to get the casual treatment. Once you realize that Nintendo isn't Nintendo, I think you'll move on and be happy about it.
And what's wrong with relying on 3rd parties? There doesn't have to be some sick company-loyalty going on, just people realize that when they buy a PS3/360 they are going to get lots of good games. The same cannot be said with the Wii. The Wii has hardly any 1st party support, and its 3rd party support is lacking...
I will play anything.
No, I walked into the bakery and paid for the cake, but now they want me to pay a fee every hour until I finish it.
What exclusives are worth that much, though? The games worth getting for the PS3 are also on the 360 and PC-Fallout3? Bioshock? FEAR? UTIII? CoD4? GTA4? etc? The PS3, and all Sony platforms in general are VERY multiplat dependant. Obviously, I'm not saying neither the 360/PS3 have exclusives not worth mentioning, because they do (the 360 too, as your rose-tinted glasses seemed to have overlooked many of those)-it's just that they don't really justify the purchase, especially since most of them fall very flat (Mirror's Edge, Lair, Heavenly Sword, I'm looking at you). And they even fail on the multi-plat area, as the PS3's overly difficult developing process delayed many games like Bioshock, games that actually had better framereates, played better, etc. on the 360, a less powerful system.
We shouldn't have to look there to get said creative games, though. Not to mention, VC and WiiWare just cancle that out.
Ok, are you high? What ARE they, then? That's ALL they do. Sony and M$ could afford to have their game divisions evaporate overnight, because they AREN'T true game companies, rather multi-media congomerites, which often hurts their porducts (the reason why the PSP is such *** is that it tries to do too much INSTEAD of just being about games). You're just either very paranoid or picky-MP3, TP, SMG, etc. weren't casual, why would we think F-Zero or other would be? And how the hell do you make S&P2 casual?
*facepalm* Any first party support? If anything, that's what's holding it together! Go look at release dates for the big 1st party games for the 64, GC, and Wii-the support is the same fricken thing. And the problem with an over-reliance on 3rd party support is that it's unrealiable (the amount of FPS games now prove this) and doesn't (or shouldn't rather) sell consoles. It became clear at the end of last gen that console exclusive 3rd party games were a thing of the past-because of this, I will never need to buy a PS3, because all the 3rd parties are multi-plat (and now that FF13 is multi-plat, that's GG, Sony). It's Nintendo's first party that makes me buy their consoles, because those games cannot be found anywhere else. In fact, it's the 3rd parties who have made the Wii look bad, as they rather make get-rich-quick games than actually put in the time and effort. Similarly, the 360/PS3 3rd parties just copy & Paste the same game over again, with different wallpaper. I'm actually disapointed with 3rd parties in general more than anything.
They have innovated the market, expanded the user base, provided updates to just about all their 1st party games, build reliable products, and don't have games that cost $60. Compared to a $599 machine that is not ment to be focused on games. Is Nintendo perfect? No, and I will never make that claim. Are they better than the other two? By VAST amounts. Serious, WHAT have they done in 2 years that was so bad?
The only ones getting **** on:
Touche.
That's what I'm trying to say. You are being an unreasonable customer if you expect a group to devote so much manpower into that without throwing five dollars or so their way.
Dude! Yes. Everything I've ever wanted and more. I still say we need a Mario Party tournament.
