[QUOTE="OneWingedAngeI"] [QUOTE="GodModeEnabled"]SMS was ******* horrible. Id rather light a porcupine on fire and have it crawl straight up my ass than play that game again. Fludd? more like ****. And I also consider SM64 to be the pinnacle of not only mario, but most of gaming so its not like I dont like mario. Galaxy is gonna stomp sunshine.GodModeEnabled
thats fine, butthat shows in this case you are incredibly biased against sunshine and have stars in your eyes for SM64. the logic used to make a comment like"SMS was ****** horrible", while loving SM64is absurd because its the same game underneath, just with some things added on. how much did you even play of the game? to each his own, but to say that a game that is referred to a SM64 clone is terrible, while loving SM64, isvery confusingwhen you apply actual logic.
anyway, galaxy is looking great,and looks like it will continuethe lineage which has yet to have a console title in the main series that hasnt been at least great. its actually my most hyped game of the year at this point. metroid is good so far but its not blowing me away.
I played like 10 hours of the game. I hated the fact you were in a town and there were npcs. I hated its open nature. I hated how stupid the npcs looked. I hated Fludd. Baby bowser as the villian? More hate. I liked metal mario, and I liked a lot of the actual levels, y'know the actual game and platforming. But the aesthetics, the town idea, the open nature, the baby bowser and fludd just combined to kinda drag it all down for me. I dont want to play a mario game and have to clean up ****, wtf is that? Cleaning isnt fun to me, not even in this game. Theres my reasons, yes I actually played the game a fair length it just didnt click with me. And its not a horrible game either, my last post was used to exaggerate my distaste a bit which I thought would be more obvious with the flaming porcupine bit, but thats my bad. Metroid isnt blowing you away? Man its single handedly restored my faith in big N, and its definetly my GOTY so far. Are you playing on veteran difficulty?My $0.02: Those sound like rather superficial reasons to dislike a game. Personally, I couldn't care less whether a game stays "true to the franchise" or not. I wouldn't care if they gave Mario a bow and arrow and he was set in a forest with Kirby as the villian, so long as the game was fun. That said, I felt the game added nothing that M64 didn't have and that the game wasn't as big and had nowhere near the Wow factor. Still, those may have been reasons to be disappointed, but dislike?As far as being blown away by the new Metroid, I don't understand that much either. I had a chance to play it at a friends place this week and I don't see much there that wasn't equally well done in the first MP. Given that I didn't like that game much at all, it was only the novelty of the wii control system that gave me a passing interest in this game. Definitely not enough to interst me in a Wii though. Frankly, only a AAA multiplayer mode could've done that. (Like I said, I don't give a rat's ass about staying true toa franchise ... and anyway there are a couple precedents for multiplayer in Metroid.)
