Completed the first dome of Mario Galaxy....why is it GOTY >.>

I got the first like 11 stars or something and I don't get why this game got GOTY. Gamecube graphics with some new lighting effects (I still think RE4 on the GC looks way mored polished), minigames have bad controls, shallow combat, poor/simplistic level design, bosses are easy as hell/shallow. It all went down hill from Mario 64, which is still the king of 3D mario. I kept thinking while playing "Just go for the next star, it'll get better" but I got through the entire first dome and Ihad no drive to continue.

Tell me, why is this GOTY.

Unless somehow this game becomes a real fiend of a platformer in the next dome to make up for it's first dome, I can honestly say Mario Galaxy is for kids. It's shallow and easy. Probably the only console game in existance with no voice acting. Fine keep mario silent I can understand that, but everyone else?

What a joke.

Why bother commenting until you have beaten the game?

my comment to you is. ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

your game lost GOTY!!!!

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

mine is better than you mario galaxy is the best!

ahahahaahahahahahaha.

childish yes... but deserved.

the only other game i wanted to get GOTY was bioshock.

There was a study that showed that people with little imagination prefer games with ultra realistic graphics, while artistic people who have lots of imagination like games with a great art style.

So your problem is that you're too dull and cynical to enjoy SMG. Thank you and bye.

minigames have bad controls

On the first 11 stars, you would only have seen, like, one minigame.

shallow combat

Mario games are not about combat.

poor/simplistic level design

Even the haters have to disagree, level design is the game's strong point.

bosses are easy as hell/shallow

Major Burrows on Daredevil Comet is not easy ashell. Neither is Bouldergeist. Later levels = more challenge.

It all went down hill from Mario 64, which is still the king of 3D mario. I kept thinking while playing "Just go for the next star, it'll get better" but I got through the entire first dome and Ihad no drive to continue.

The "entire" first dome isn't a big part of the game. 121 stars, you got 11. If you have no drive to continue already, then that means you came into it with a negative attitude.

Tell me, why is this GOTY.

It's the best game this year.

Unless somehow this game becomes a real fiend of a platformer in the next dome to make up for it's first dome, I can honestly say Mario Galaxy is for kids. It's shallow and easy.

Does Toy Time Purple CoinChallengesound kiddy to you? Yes, it does. But it's ****ing hard. Seriously, later levels = more challenge, for any game.Probably the only console game in existance with no voice acting.Fine keep mario silent I can understand that, but everyone else?

Why does that matter? I don't understand all this anti-reading crap. You're not playing a Mario game, especially Galaxy, for realism.

What a joke.

Cause your opinion is fact.:roll: Sorry it isn't a GTA game, bro.BioShockOwnz

GTA is pointless. It's the same game every time in a new city.

maybe some people played more than one level

Saything "Thank you and bye" at the end of your post tells me that your too soft to continue argueing. Listen, from what I played so far, there is not substantial art design in Galaxy. Uber colourful with stars and comets doesn't mean art. There are giant bees, cute little star things, and other stuff, but no defining sense of art. There's no feeling put through by the visual design, other than that it could be out of a saturday morning cartoon on Treehouse.

Most of you guys are saying the first dome is the weakest etc etc, well a game with such a weak start, weak enough to turn gamers off, still shouldn't be in the running for GOTY. It should suck you in right from the begining with undeniable charm, the right amount of difficulty, and fiendishly clever level design, right from the get-go. If you dont agree with me here, you're just a fanboy.

Judging by your avyy I'm sorry to inform yu this isn't GTA4.

Gamecube graphics with lightning effects? Not at all and if i remember well the "next-gen" systems use incredible lighting effects to make their games look 10x better that's why it's called "next-gen shine";

Minigames have bad controls? there's a huge difference from a game having bad controls and you being horrible at it they're just perfect;

shallow combat? I wouldn't call it shallow but simplistic which isn't a bad thing anyways, shallow/generic combat = God of War combat;

poor/simplistic level design? All review sites and everyone else in the world dissagres with you and it isn't an oppinion but it's a fact, Mario won GOTY because of it's complex and intuitive level design;

bosses are easy/shallow? I'm sorry but this is the first time in gaming history that I fight a giant robot standing on a significant smaller planet while using the game's incredible physics engine for guiding it's bullets to destroy itself, the first one is kinda easy but it gets harder.

Did you just complain about the combat? :|Sir-Marwin105

Platformers need combat. Good combat. Stop dumbing stuff down.

We agree with you there. Where we disagree with you is that Galaxy fails in that regard.

Clearly, you just had a negative attitude about it before playing the game. And now, you'll go back with a negative attitude, because you'd rather it not surprise you and foil your argument.

That's what I'm talking about. You're too cynical to enjoy SMG, so you say that the visual design is kiddy. The desing in SMG is way more artistic than for example CoD4 or Crysis.

AND I don't think that the start of the game is weak enough to turn many gamers off. Maybe you and your best armwrestling buddy, but the majority just happens to like it.

I think you're being too optomistic, you fail to keep a critical eye to your precious mario that you will simply ignore what is essentially boring and easy.

Play the game, get all 120 stars, infact get all 243 stars and tell me the same thing.

Its wasted on you. It starts taking off even more after 30 stars.

Didn't play sunshine, but I think I would agree with you. From the screen shots I've seen, it's visual layout, heavy ephasis on sun and other tropical elements give it a very clean island feel. First bit of galaxy is about jumping from planet to planet, then it's about a giant bee world, then it's about a robot boss, then it's about surfing on a manta ray thing, then it's about something else. It's inconsistant, and I fail to see art.

[2 mini games actually]

That's nice. Either way, you're wrong. The ball-rolling minigame does it better than Super Monkey Ball.

[ platformers need combat. if you deny this, then your delusional]

Mario needn't ever fight with anything except in Super Smash Bros. Platformers do not need combat at all.

[first dome? hell no.]

Then perhaps it's time to move on to the second. Just remember, don't be all cynical about it. Fantasy games of any sort seldom draw you in when you're criticizing every detail.

[they should give you a taste from the begining. I dont want to play through mind-numbingly easy bosses until I have like 75 stars to get to something that will finally grab my attention.]

Of course the beginning is easy. That isn't unique to Galaxy. If you want challenge and only challenge, then you'll have to get farther.

[the first dome, the start of the game, is arguable the most important part of a game. it gets you interested, it gets you wondering what's next, it gets you pumped for more to come.

You were looking for all the nostalgic memories from Mario 64 summed up in the first levels? That's a bit of an unfair fight, as I'm assuming you got past the first Bowser fight in 64.

No, that's not right. Mario is not what makes a platformer good. New Super Mario was too short and Sunshine was too boring. It's just that apparently some people can't stand the desing in SMG, you're one of them. Consider yourself unique because you seem to be in the minority.

But the GOTY is defined by the reviewers and they all loved it.

an inconsistant art style often makes games more entertaining. wario ware for instance. part of the fun about mario galaxy is not knowing where your gonna go next. It keeps you on your toes and when you do actually explore those floating frozen desserts, you'll definately have a wee smile on your face.

play up to the engine room and the garden domes then come talk to me about no chalenge.

theres plently of chalenge before those two domes too

you expect the first goddamn world to have the hardest gameplay?

There was a study that showed that people with little imagination prefer games with ultra realistic graphics, while artistic people who have lots of imagination like games with a great art style.

So your problem is that you're too dull and cynical to enjoy SMG. Thank you and bye.

Saything "Thank you and bye" at the end of your post tells me that your too soft to continue argueing. Listen, from what I played so far, there is not substantial art design in Galaxy. Uber colourful with stars and comets doesn't mean art. There are giant bees, cute little star things, and other stuff, but no defining sense of art. There's no feeling put through by the visual design, other than that it could be out of a saturday morning cartoon on Treehouse.

super mario sunshine is the result of a mario game having a substantial art design. You'll forgive me if I prefer imagination over familiarity.

Didn't play sunshine, but I think I would agree with you. From the screen shots I've seen, it's visual layout, heavy ephasis on sun and other tropical elements give it a very clean island feel. First bit of galaxy is about jumping from planet to planet, then it's about a giant bee world, then it's about a robot boss, then it's about surfing on a manta ray thing, then it's about something else. It's inconsistant, and I fail to see art.

Did you just complain about the combat? :|Sir-Marwin105

Come on, Mario games are all about combat.

Mario games have fantasy settings precisely to allow for imaginative and varied gameplay. Not that art can even be defined IMO, but why do you reckon gameplay variety = non-artistic?
