Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Morgan Webb rants about Super Mario Galaxy 2, hilariously bad reasons

You cant hide blatant trolling behind the banner of 'opinion.'

It's just surprising for me to hear Morgan Webb say something like this.  From someone like Olivia Munn I would expect it but Morgan seems like she would embrace the style rather than oppose it. 

I can totally respect the fact that she's over Mario games (though I can't understand it), but saying that Mario's too cartoony is just a bizarre statement; even as the visuals have improved, cartoony has always remained its style.  It would cease to be Mario otherwise.



Oh lord, she has an opinion! She does seem to be trying to sound edgy though, as if perhaps she likes disagreeing simply because it makes her stick out (you know, like boobs and such). Personally, I could never take offense at anyone critiquing my favorite games, it doesn't offset my enjoyment from them in the least and really doesn't matter in the big picture, especially when the game is critically acclaimed to begin with.

Why do people care about this? I see threads all the time about some figure or other bashing a game or simply stating that they don't love it as much as everyone else. I can certainly relate to some of these people seeing as how I wasn't blown away by Super Mario Galaxy at all and still find it heavily inferior to Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Bros 3.



So she has an opinion about Mario, so you bash her for it? What she said made sense. It is HER opinion. Don't jump down her throat because she has a critical opinion of a game you like.



Okay I have question, maybe someone answered it earlier in the thread but I didn't see it. Isn't her favorite game Ratchet & Clank? If so that makes her a huge hypocrite. R&C's art style has remained the same through out the entire series.

Telling you, man. Not worth worrying about, because of that business right there.

Lol, yeah.

I just felt the need to say something after watching that video.

Her reasons sound lame, but hey, maybe Mario is not her thing anymore.
I'm ok with that.



It is of my opinion that <insert country here> should be bombed tomorrow, and that everyone there dies.

That's totally ok, no law enforcement agent should be barging down my door in the morning, because everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Seriously, STFU with that rubbish.

Yeah, lets insult her and make like she is immature by calling her names.

 

She makes good points, she blatently says "I'm too old for it".  Some people grow out of cartoonish and kiddy looking things and want more from games.  She is one of them.  She didn't knock the gameplay only the presentation.

The implied correlation between maturity and a dislike of "kiddy looking things" is both fallacious and condescending.

It is an opinion ya know...

Maybe she is just sick of the same old. (Which is what Mario Galaxy 2 is).   Alot of people I would wager feel the same way.  Perhaps by cartoony she meant...Unchanged....practically identical to every Mario iteration since Mario 64.  On that sense I would totally agree.

It's actually my biggest gripe of Nintendo in general with a good amount of their games.  They run them stale into the ground for years until they finally do something that people wished they had done years prior.  (Metroid for Gamecube was a wonderful welcomed edition....but it only took them how long?).  Games like Super Smash Brothers are practically the same damn game as the one for Gamecube.  Mario hasn't really looked different since Mario  64.  Zelda, I suppose they did have the Windwaker which was a deviation but then back to the same old, same old with Twilight Princess. 

I mean don't get me wrong, still quality games but it does get rather stale, IMHO.

Reported for thread derailing.  Cartoony has absolutely nothing to do with unchanged.  The words are completely unrelated.  The concepts are completely unrelated.  You're just twisting the thread's content to fit what you want to talk about.

By the way, this conversation has been had many times on this forum, and I honestly can't comprehend how someone could think Super Mario Galaxy is the same as SM64.  I guess that whole "gravity" concept didn't really add anything new. *rolls eyes*

OT: The only people who value her opinion are worshipers of G4TV and such people are very rare.

If you actually watched and listened to the video she very clearly makes a possible connection as to what she was referencing by mentioning 'Cartoony'.

"I think it looks too cartoony for me, and I feel like I've done the Mario nostalgia thing."

I don't think it's soley on the 'cartoony' look from the game but the consistent pattern of 'cartoony' appearance that has remained unchanged through the years has left her disappointed, feeling like it is just more of the same.  Personally, I agree with that premise.

Please report me for de-railing the thread though because you're butt hurt.  Laughable.


not for her. i never thouhgt about it, but she has a point. gamers always talk about the lack of change in other games. the commen consensus in a thread i made about FPS was, im not tierd of FPS's'. im just tierd of the lack of innovation the same statement rang true from nearly every post made. so OP or not. a little change can go along way.
