Wow Big Surprise, I was right :/ SSBB is not a completely new game

For me personally, I guess I would expect...more. I think the fact that playing the game using a GC controller is supposedly the best way to play (as opposed to the Wiimote) is actually a big detractor. Even if the core gameplay was the same, but they figured out an interesting/novel way to control the action, I would have been sold.

The only reason I haven't gotten a Wii yet is I already have most of the games on my GC. I can't deny that many of the games look fantastic, but when I look at the gameplay (SSB, RE4, Mario Kart, Zelda:TP), I can't see myself putting down cash for an experience The Wii isn't the only one doing it, but I see so much more potential that still isn't being tapped.

That said, I'll probably pick one up in a couple of years when the "Wii classics" and core system are rediculously cheap (much like the GC).

[QUOTE="3rd_child"]We all knew Brawl was not going to be a "completely new game". There's no getting through to this guy. He's obviously going to rant until people agree with him which I'm not going to do. So don't feed the fire guys. Just leave this thread to die. StringGuard

So you agree with the TC but say he's rambling.

No. I just dislike the fact that that the thread is called "Wow Big Surprise, I was right :/ SSBB is not a completely new gam". Kind of incites that the OP holds himself in such high-regard.

[QUOTE="cakeorrdeath"]You think the high scores are due to some devious conspiracy theory?Taalon

All reviewers mentioned that the space emissary is tacked on and useless. The online is handicapped. And the gameplay remains the same and requires a last gen controller. That does not sound like a 9.5 to me.

Well, after playing SSBB for about 15 hours, I realized i was right (remember my other thread).

Anyway, its a shame a lot of ppl will get tricked by the high scores that almost every gaming site is giving to this game.

Its just a rehash, frankly the gameplay is just about the same. I still own anyone with Fox, that char is way too powerful.

Now i can say im dissapointed.

If you managed to play the game for 15 hours, then why are you complaining? You obviously enjoyed it or you wouldnt have bothered.

The word "rehash" is thrown around this board a hell of a lot. Like MGS4 or GeoW 2 of GOW 3 etc. are gonna be totally different from the previous installments. To be fair, SSBB is a fighter, there is only so much you can actually do with it. Sakurai has still done an amazing job with it.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to continue to believe these reviews scores GS has published are not somehow manipulated by outside influences.

I dunno anymore. :?

[QUOTE="Taalon"][QUOTE="TNOFTG"]The core gameplay of any fighter in any series usually stays the same.GiveMeSomething

It was more of a response to the title than the specifics.

Anyways, the same could be said about any fighter, no point in arguing it.

Indeed, Brawl has tried very hard to evolve the gameplay more than most fighters do, with its level editor, online, deeper story mode, recording features and VC demos. It's still basically the same gameplay, but they're certainly tacked on a lot of extra stuff that you wouldn't expect from most fighting game sequels. That's probably why it got AAA if you ask me.

Sure... it has tried to evolve. However, a 9.5? C'mon.

Level Editor: Been done by other games (halo3)

Online: Lets not even talk bout it

Deeper Story Mode: Deeper = better? Dont think so D;

Recording Features = Been Done before too

Sure, its got a LOT of new features, but none of them are new to the gaming industry, so i think a 9.5 is just too much

for a game thats not doing anything new. In my opinion, this game deserves 8.7-9. Why? Because in one hand its a great game and its a lot of fun. But in the other, its just an upgrade from SBM mixed with some next gen features (online, lvl editor)

it's no more of a rehash than Halo 3 is. It's not like Halo 3 brought anything new to the table either. Not to mention they are both the 3rd games in their respective series.

IMO a fighter has more allowence for repetition than a shooter.

nobody expected an entirely different game... nobody even wanted that... it's not that you are RIGHT, it was obvious from the start... you act like you are nostradamus... LOLAlways-Honest
