Question about Super Mario Galaxy

Hi,

I was watching this video: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/27104.html and wondering : "what about is it about his game that can make people say it is GOTY ? (except fanboyism of course)

I don't even see why this game could be fun at all. Many people will answer to that : personal opinion. Witch is actually true, and let me say that i am proud of having my own opinion. But don't you think it will be hard to have it promoted GOTY if i'm not the only one with this opinion ?

It's the most excited I have been for a platformer sense oh... 2000.

I love platformers...

It looks a GOTY nominee.

But I really think ME will get that honor.

You just hate platformers.Cristallis

that's wrong... i was (not anymore) a huge fan of sonic games and i had loads of fun on a friend ps3 with r&c...

Did you try to hate the game on purpose or what? That's got to be the most boring gameplay video ever, he didn't even try to progress. Watch this better one: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/27109.htmlCristallis

1- i didn't say i hate... it just doesn't look fun

2- the link is dead

The game just looks like a lot of fun. There's a whimsical sense i get when i watch the videos and i'm sure that'll carry on when i play it too.

I'm sorry if you can't see this game as fun. but I didn't think GeOW looked that fun either.

what doesn't look fun about smg?

Wow, well, maybe you should play it first?

I played it yesterday at Gamestop. It was smooth and pretty and fun. I didn't like SM64, and I DID like this, a lot.

maybe your just dead insidedoobie1975

I concur

well then what DOES look fun with smg ? the wii-mote on mario thing ? the graphics ? sounds ? the fact that you can have the same enemies than 20 years before ?

How can you say the whole of this game doesn't look fun from watching a small 2 min video?

I think this thread just failed miserably.

well it doesn't look fun to me (and i didn't watch only ONE video but 4 or 5, i agree it's not a lot but that's usualy enough to me). i'm asking why people think it's fun ! that's why i posted this thread on a forum and not on a blog

the art direction, the smoothness of the gameplay, the many different environments and types of play.

it's your turn not mine. I'm not here to play 21 questions.

Why bother? You've already made up your mind, and decided this game isn't fun, for whatever reason. Why waste time trying to fruitlessly convince you that this game deserves it's interest and praise. It won't make you change your mind.ithilgore2006

read the post above yours

people a really aggressive in sw or is it just me ?

Well the main reason I think it'll be fun is because it's different. it's based mostly in zero gravity environments, so running around upside down etc will introduce unique & unusal gameplay. and plus it's from Nintendo which always means it'll be quality.

I didn't like SM64 when everyone else did, so I feared the same from this game.

It's much more... just fun. My fears are allayed by my play at the Gamestop, and now I just can't wait.

ok... well i already have those in super mario 3 on the nes

fnk_poils

well then clearly you wouldn't get any enjoyment from any sequels.

And your point...

SMG isn't the first platformer... I think we all know this...

That doesn't mean it's not fun... MoF it looks like it's nailed all the things it needs to be an amazing platforme...

Wow, well, maybe you should play it first?

Jandurin

Anyway, never been excited about a 3D Mario platformer before Galaxy. That game is something else.

once again, it's not my point, it's a question !

mario is 20 years old, he had many adventures in 2 and 3d, so what in this "NEW" mario makes it a so good game ?

if that was the case then no sequal should ever get GOTY according to your logic.

well i think its either:

1. you dont like platformers

2. you dont like mario (which means you obviously werent a gamer in the nes/snes days... or hadnt played super mario 64 at its time, are are just plain wierd lol)

3. you are a cow or lemming (self explanatory)

4. you dont like fun, as that what smg is, fun in its purest form
