Why is a nintendo fan trying to start something?

farnham

It's likely that he's doing this because it gets people angry, and no matter what it can't be wrong, it is a fact that it is the best, based on scores of course.

i said it above i dont like shallow upgrades thats why i criticized games like Gears 2 and Halo ODST and i bought the game recently based on the good reviews and i am half trhough now.. the game is just a mission pack&expansion. there is no reason why it should score higher then SMG 1 the only thing i hate more then shallow upgrades are downgrades that are being sold as upgrades (like GTA IV)

So, why did you make this thread?

Must be a bunch of kids that reviewed the game considering it's a game for kiddies.

i made this thread because its ridiculous how game critics give out good scores to rehashes. sure a rehash of a good game is still a good game. but the highest rated game ? thats just a sad state.

i dont like GTA 4 for other reasons (downgrading the game in order to make it HD) but in the case of SMG2 the game is just way to similar to the first Galaxy.

But ODST WAS a blatant spin-off/rehash/expansion pack sold at 60 $ because of MS. Gears 2.. well.. it's supposed to be a sequel but.. eh.. Also, I thought you were a huge sheep? Are you trolling or is this just sarcasm? Attention-seeking fanboys, ugh..

This makes no sense. It's clear you only made this thread to get a reaction out of people, you aren't fooling anybody. Atleast not people that know how to think.

It's a troll thread, a obvious one too. Some people have way to much free time.

I dont think SMG2 is a bad game. but the highest rated game ever should be something that truly revolutionized the gaming industry.. and not something like Mario Galaxy 2. I would have no problem if the highest rated game was SMG2 or Zelda OoT. Or games like RE4, Halo, GTA III, FF VII for that matter.

tbh I dont like GTA 4 either, I think that RDR deserved the ten more then GTA 4, but I think that Mario galaxy definetly deserved the score it got, true it was similar to galaxy original but it still fixed every single small flaw that was in it and really was probably the best core 3D platformer we've seen since the days of the N64 and PS1

SMG 2 had small improvements but the best parts of the game are highly derivative. putting it higher then SMG1 is ridiculous

Most sequels this gen are "rehash". It's not really bad thing though, because they usually make some cool improvements, though not very significant.

I think that could be said for all rehashes. The same could be said for Halo,Call of Duty,Final Fantasy,GTA,Zelda,Uncharted and God of War. So they must be rehashes then. No Super Mario Galaxy 2 fully deserves its high praise its getting

While I don't think SMG2 is as good as Ocarina of Time, it definitely is one of the best games I've ever played.

The game is a rehash. Sure its a good rehash but still its a rehash.

well based on your logic, we will go with SMG 1 then :)

Half-Way

That's what I did. I'm sticking with SMG1 because there hasn't been much improvement between SMG1 and SMG2 from what I've played.

It's pretty much perfect. That doesn't mean it needs to appeal to everyone or even be the best game of all time, but it's really close to perfection of it's genre

Nintendo succeds at something = you can't get away from "rehash" or "new IP" for days in SW.

How many times will you people fall for Farnham threads!? He's a Nintendo Fan who occasionally makes ridiculous anti-Nintendo threads to get a reaction / get pro-Nintendo support. And he's done it many times! Good grief!

I played it for the 1st time today, I've had it for a week but I've just been watching the World Cup in my free time so I haven't had time to play it, though from what I played it was really fun but I doubt it's the best game ever.
