Hasn't the FF series been anything BUT a system seller franchise in Japan and Europeas of late?Verge_6

I don't know about Europe, but still the biggest system seller coming out for any of the consoles in Japan, since the next DQ is on DS.

i saw fission mailed, but just asusmned i was dead.

Well when he called on the codec and told me to turn off the PS2, I thought it was some trick and actually switched the console off lol. I felt like such an idiot once I realized I had just shut off the game, and to make it worse I was playing it in front of a couple of buddies :cry:

If I were you I'd stop hyping warhawk. The other's have a good chance of doing good but warhawk looks like a joke.

Actually, it is common knowledge that it is getting great reviews from people playing the beta...

For example:

I've read multiple articles like this telling of what a blast this game is to play, this is just the only one I could remember quickly off the top of my head. Combine that with the fact that most in the beta love it, aside from connection problems (that's why it's a beta, right?), and I don't get why you would say it looks like a joke.

But whatever, I can see clearly from your posts here that you're a complete 360 fanboy...

I don't get what the point of this thread is.

Are you trying to say that GTA is a bad influence on kids and will cause them to do violent things (similar to what Jack Thompson says), or are you bitter that kids are playing GTA over Mario? Are you trying to tell kids what they should be playing? Why not just let them play what they think is fun.

I got GTA 3 back when I was 13 and had a ton of fun with it at the time. It had no negative effects on me as I enjoyed a great game, and I sure as hell didn't want some guy telling me to play something else for no apparent reason. Oh, and I also enjoyed Nintendo games at that time as well. If kids want it and there parents buy it for them, I don't see what the problem is. There still isn't any proven link between violent games and real life violence, unless you believe that garbage Jack Thompson spews about how Counter-Strike and other games teach you and train you how to kill effectively...

Also, the major gaming demographic is around ages 18-25 or something like that, and they are the ones buying GTA. You have presented absolutely no facts at all to support your wild claims that kids no longer play Mario and only play GTA.

This thread is ridiculous.

When did I say that? I said they are doing that less. No longer do I see kids eager to play Super Mario Sunshine or Super mario galaxy,something that was widespread when Super Mario 64 came out.

Yet now there are kids hyping GTA4! GTA4!

And what's wrong with hyping GTA4!? The last 3 were excellent games, it's only natural that GTA4 is hyped as well. Same goes for Halo, and although I'm not a big fan of first person shooters on consoles, I can see why everyone hypes it as well. Not because it's mature (it's actually quite cartoony in appearance and violence), but because the previous two were excellent games that left people wanting more.

Mario 64 was excellent, but Mario Sunshine was a bit meh for me at least, and I think many others. Also, only having two true Mario games for consoles in the past 10+ years hurts the popularity of Mario a bit. It has faded a little when compared to Halo and Grand Theft Auto, but we shouldn't blame kids for wanting to be more mature.

Instead, we should blame Halo and Grand Theft Auto for being revolutionary console games, while Mario has had only two main console adventures in 10 years, one of them being mediocre compared to other titles in the series.
