Yo_Foo Plays Super Mario Galaxy - Why PS3 Shouldn't Be Frightened

No really. You're questions refer to misquoting me. But if you want me to answer your questions - Critics shouldn't matter. If the general consensus by the general public and the different types of gamers is that a game is amazing (like GTA:SA, Deus Ex, LOZ: OoT) then the can be considered relevant to society. I guess SMG is relevant to the children of today's society - just like Donkey Kong and games like that were in mine.

:'(

How am I misquoting you? I copied exactly what you wrote.

That bold red is all you needed to say. That is all I asked for. But why add the word Society? You of all people should know if you are going to put it like that then Mario is the most relevant figure in video games to society period. And that fact is undisputable no matter if his games are the best or the worst in anyone's eyes.

Yo Foo Sad :'(

Why do you think that? The last thread I saw you make got plenty of responses.

The problem with this thread is that it really is just your opinions. This is how you feel about Super Mario Galaxy. Most people here feel differently. Not much of an argument to be made there, especially considering that there's nobody fighting against the issue that you tried to raise about difficulty. It really would have been better suited for a blog.

[QUOTE="yo_foo"]

I'm not going to debate the critics views of the game. This isn't what the thread was about.My opinions however are actually relevant as a lot of people seem to state they are advantages to difficulty rather than actual difficulty in regards to levels and gameplay and things. Critics can say whatever they like about a game it doesn't mean its true. Suddenly everyone blindly biased towards their favourite console listens to critics now when they are stating how good a game is then turn the other cheek when Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess gets a low score stating they 'do not know what they are talking about' come on it doesn't work both ways.

Nintendo Wii aimed to make gaming different but instead changed the ****of the console but not the ****of the games. This post was not better suited to a blog. And i don't care if i disappoint you because people with high credibility regard me as a legend. After your 'tried to call ownage before my reply' ****posting...i think it's going to be hard for you get that credibility back :P.

But I'm hoping you don't disappoint me!

You made this thread about more than your opinions when you stated that the PS3 had nothing to worry about in the OP.

Yes it was. This thread was your personal opinion about a game with a dose of fanboy thrown in for good measure.

I don't have to call ownage at all. You pretended to be dead, and then you came back and started making threads of as low quality as this. I think you've pretty much called ownage on yourself. :?

But thanks for the vote of confidence anyways...

Wooo look at all teh pretty colours.

I've been around this forum long enough to know when people can't hack that they have been defeated they call another a fanboy - even when they show evidence about the faults of another game. I swear if Big Rigs was on the Wii - you would defend it blindly until your face turned blue. All I am doing is stating the obvious faults with the game and comparing how developers of PS3 games actually make the GAMES genuninely difficult rather than the controller and camera angles making the game difficult.

yes because rachet was around at the rebirth of gaming, enen though the first game was releced for ps2 (and was not a remake, closing that stupid loophole) :roll:

unresponsiveness is a much bigger problem than people seem to suggest it is. PS3 have given users the ability to not 'use' it all the time if they don't want to. The Wiimote is sluggish and imprecise. But people seem to be saying this makes it more of a difficult game which is a GOOD THING.

A GOOD THING? What ever happened to developers making gameply and levels ACTUALLY difficult? Instead of making things stupidly flawed to make the game difficult. It is not a good thing. It's flawed design and it's slack developing!

:'(

yo_foo

Ah, there's nothing quite like the smell of a biased fanboy in the evening. Any way, you state that Sony gives the user the choice in using motion sensing.....SSBB says "hey" (FYI, you can use the GC controller). Secondly, Lair says, "Umm...so, how is Sony giving users a choice?" (poor motion sensing and the lack of a choice is one of the major reasons this game flopped).

And what do you mean that Sony shouldn't be worried? They're getting demolished by a system with a fraction of the processing power, dominated by MS in several markets, and thus far are not holding up to the pre-release hype.

Lastly, I've played the Wii alot, and I own a PS3 and 360. And thus far, unless I'm watching movies, my 360 gets my playing time. And the ps3 isn't even in the same ballpark as the Wii in regard to motion sensing abilities. My conclusion is this: Don't try to use your opinion that SMG's controls are poor to bash the Wii, just as people shouldn't use the poor controls of Lair to bash the PS3. That's the developers, not the console manufacturers.

Are you realy comparing Hitler with Mario man :| (You gotta be kidding me....)

If Mario wasn't relevant his games wouldn't be selling. But they always in fact do and at very high numbers making him relevant. Mario has got the scores, the awards, the sales, he is the figure piece on the mantle that is Nintendo not to mention that he is the most iconic figure in video gaming. If thats not relevance then what the hell is?

I'm not confusing anything you just keep trying to weasle into another area but its not gonna work. Mario is relevant to the video game industry and to people that play games and that cannot be disputed whether you like Mario or not.

Yes. Mario is relevant to children.

Much like some of the old crappy games that came out after Super Mario 64 was a hit.

[QUOTE="yo_foo"]

A friend of mine who loved Super Mario Galaxy told me - "the game itself is pretty much like Super Mario 64. The graphics are pretty much close to the same. The only difference is the addition of the Wiimote. The developers have made the game tricky by making the game's camera angles very poor and the game's wii mote controls very sluggish..."

the_h_bomb

Good point. I would even say the graphics are worse than Mario 64. People just get fooled because it's in space. The game itself seems very simple as well. I reckon it could be completely in unter 2 hours if it weren't for the camera angles and sluggish wii controls

Nintendo are pretty tricky

So I guess you could say Mario is no longer relevant - SM64 was a turning point in platformers. It added something different and even though i didn't like it - i could respect it. SMG pretty much just plays on the same repetitive style you've seen in other platformers nowadays that it pretty much seems like an all you can eat buffet plate. All the styles seem to have been done before.

The only cool side to the game though is the whole reverse side to worlds. However you can't really get a good look at them as the camera angles are shocking.

:'(

yo_foo

Again spot on. Mario Galaxy is basically the same game as Mario 64. For true innovation you have to loos at Ratchet and Clank on PS3.

Am I the only one that realizes you are joking?

To tell you the truth I never really like SMG. I didn't see what the big hype about it was. The Wii mote controls kind of pissed me off also.

SM 64 will always be my favorite Mario game by far.

Wooo look at all teh pretty colours.

I've been around this forum long enough to know when people can't hack that they have been defeated they call another a fanboy - even when they show evidence about the faults of another game.

yo_foo

Alright first of all, I'm not a sheep, not in the slightest. I don't even own a Wii, and I have frequently criticised the Wii for numerous reasons, not the least of which is the meager 3rd party support currently seen for the system.

Having said that, allow me to direct you to yourown words from the OP, the words that made me decide to post in the first place:

PS3 need not be frigtened.

:'(

yo_foo

You coudn't just left it at "I have problems with SMG, here are the reasons why", you had to thrown in an utterly irrelevant bit of typical fanboyism by saying that your problems with SMG somehow indicate that the PS3 is not threatened by it in the slightest, despite the reality that:

A) The PS3 does not have a single title that has sold as much as SMG. In fact, the sales of the top two sellers on PS3 (RFOM and Motorstorm) combined barely manage to equal the sales of SMG alone (there's your general consensus :| ).

B) SMG has received higher critical reviews (much higher) than any title on PS3.

So tell me again, why does your single, largely irrelevant, opinion mean that SMG is not a threat to the PS3?

Do tell, I'm quite eager to hear your explanations about how you and your buddies opinion about a game represents the general consensus of the gaming community as a whole... :roll:

So as you can see from the title - I played SMG. I played it with my friend's son. And all I can say is WOW.

WOW - why do people believe this is one of the greatest games ever?

Constant problems I've had with the Wii that I haven't had with a PS3 are sensory problems. Just thinking about Wii Sports makes my blood boil. In SMG however - the sensor can be sensitive when you don't want mario to spin and irresponsive when you want Mario to spin. My blood doesn't boil, it freezes.

Just when you think my blood could be salvaged - it is hit with a huge metal hammer due to the terrible and shocking camera angles. Something I've noticed in comparison to the Wii and the PS3 is that problem. Wii seem to exploit (especially SMG) the terrible and awkward camera angles during gameplay. The PS3's camera angles during gameplay seem so smooth, so perfect. In fact - if the PS3 were to release a game like SMG - they would have made it a lot easier to operate.

People say the game is hard - however this is only because everything is so awkward to use. That shouldn't be counted towards the generally difficulty of the gameplay because it doesn't make you want to play or it isn't fun.

PS3 need not be frigtened.

:'(

yo_foo

1) SMG doesn't have sensory problems, since the game's controls were already described as practically flawless by critics. If any problems at all, it would be a problem with the Wii and/or remote. So you'd have to check and adjust the problems.

2) Awkward camera angles? It's pretty much the same as Super Mario 64, and people say the camera was superb for the platform because it worked. Only difference now is that the camera will usually position itself to the best spots instead of you having to occasionally fix the camera when it ran into walls in SM64.

3) No one ever said Super Mario Galaxy was a hard game. Everyone said it was an easy game to beat, so if beating the game was really difficult for you at all, I laugh. The only challenge is for those who wanted to collect every last star in the game, and even that is not the most difficult thing ever. I'm convinced you didn't even play much of the game if your blaming your poor gaming skills on a fairly simple game on "bad controls" and "awkward camera".

4) "Wii seem to exploit (especially SMG) the terrible and awkward camera angles during gameplay. The PS3's camera angles during gameplay seem so smooth, so perfect."
And You're speaking for ALL games on the PS3 against one single game on the Wii? Or did you think PS3 was a game itself? Hmm...

5) Why should PS3 be frightened? Was it frightened? Does it even have feelings? I never knew that.

Go play your PS3 if that's the best thing ever, no one cares.

Yeah. The camera angles were a bit of a pain. Sometimes I would make a radical course change to avoid an enemy or what-have-you and wind up running the wrong way off an edge because the odd camera angle threw me off.

The spin controls never gave me much trouble though.

I guess all the critics and reviewers of Super Mario Galaxy are children....

I guess all the sites who gave out their GOTY Award to Super Mario Galaxy are employed children....

I guess everyone of those 13 million plus people who own New Super Mario Brothers are children....

I guess everyone of those 4 million plus who own Super Mario Galaxy are children....

Yes Yo_Foo Mario is only relevant to children....

If you can prove to me that the 13 million plus people who own New Super Mario Bros for DS are 100% children I will agree with you.

If you can prove to me that the 4 million plus people who own Super Mario Galaxy are 100% children then I will agree with you.

But you can't. All you can do is use your opinions. By your logic of GTA are you prepared to also admit that Halo 3 is relevant as well? I mean we all know how much you hate Halo 3 as well.

I find Mario relevant and I thought Galaxy was great. Am I a child?

My driver's license states that I'm not.

Something I've noticed in comparison to the Wii and the PS3 is that problem. Wii seem to exploit (especially SMG) the terrible and awkward camera angles during gameplay. The PS3's camera angles during gameplay seem so smooth, so perfect. In fact - if the PS3 were to release a game like SMG - they would have made it a lot easier to operate.

People say the game is hard - however this is only because everything is so awkward to use. That shouldn't be counted towards the generally difficulty of the gameplay because it doesn't make you want to play or it isn't fun.

PS3 need not be frigtened.

1) SMG doesn't have sensory problems, since the game's controls were already described as practically flawless by critics. If any problems at all, it would be a problem with the Wii and/or remote. So you'd have to check and adjust the problems.

2) Awkward camera angles? It's pretty much the same as Super Mario 64, and people say the camera was superb for the platform because it worked. Only difference now is that the camera will usually position itself to the best spots instead of you having to occasionally fix the camera when it ran into walls in SM64.

3) No one ever said Super Mario Galaxy was a hard game. Everyone said it was an easy game to beat, so if beating the game was really difficult for you at all, I laugh. The only challenge is for those who wanted to collect every last star in the game, and even that is not the most difficult thing ever. I'm convinced you didn't even play much of the game if your blaming your poor gaming skills on a fairly simple game on "bad controls" and "awkward camera".

4) "Wii seem to exploit (especially SMG) the terrible and awkward camera angles during gameplay. The PS3's camera angles during gameplay seem so smooth, so perfect."
And You're speaking for ALL games on the PS3 against one single game on the Wii? Or did you think PS3 was a game itself? Hmm...

5) Why should PS3 be frightened? Was it frightened? Does it even have feelings? I never knew that.

Go play your PS3 if that's the best thing ever, no one cares.

And the sad thing is, I don't think he's realized it. He probably thinks we're getting owned by his words.

Yes. Mario is relevant to children. Not so much the older generation anymore. perhaps some who want to rekindle their youth but apart from that - GTA is more relevant to society now hence the crappy Free roaming rip off games that have been released. Much like some of the old crappy games that came out after Super Mario 64 was a hit.

Yes...you must be talking about all those adults who grew up playing Mario games (I'm 30, I'm one of them). It has nothing to do with "rekindling my youth". Mario was a part of my childhood and I still enjoy his games. I swear, you can always tell when another system has a great game because yo_foo crawls out of the wood work to say what a crappy game it is.

Yo_Foo does not crawl out from the wood work he rises from the grave. With the populance now able to obtain general use of Phoenix Downs these things should now be seen as natrual.

lol...my visual image of that amuses me. I picture a dark foggy graveyard and all of the sudden the ground starts to crack....and slowly a hand clutching a sixaxis begins to appear. :)

No, but you'll be ignored simply because yo_foo will either a) ignore you or b) claim that you are reliving your childhood

It's how he works. He simply ignores facts and states his opinion as fact.

Eddie5vs1

He can ignore me if he wants. It's not like he's going to persuade anyone.

Yo_foo, I'll give you an AAA for effort, but please keep your opinions to yourself.
