| RolStoppable said: It's gaming in its purest form. Easy to learn, but hard to master. 1)And no, a game like Contra doesn't do platforming better, simply because the jumping mechanics are severly limited. That isn't a bad thing though, because it's fitting with the playstyle of a game like Contra (it's about shooting stuff and dodging projectiles). I guess what I am trying to say is that comparing Contra and Super Mario is silly, you might as well say that a Tales of game does fighting better than Soul Calibur, because it's just part of the experience and not the entire game. 2)In the end this thread is just adding another layer to your ignorance when it comes to certain types of games. We already knew that you don't play games that lack a story and now you are telling us that if you don't shoot anything, then it's no good either. 3)Perhaps you have never played through an entire platformer that actually demanded skill and that's why you think that a whole game revolving around platforming can only be boring. I wouldn't be surprised, if you were to tell us that you have never played beyond the first two worlds in any Super Mario or Donkey Kong Country game. 4)But anyway, you having a different taste in games is not going to be an issue. However, your attitude to call people who happen to like the games you despise sad is what's going to get you into trouble. You know I will be there the next time you slip up. Just watch it, pal. |
1) Contra and Mario really aren't all that different. Yeah your right in saying that Contra isn't really focused on the jumping and therefore falls as a platformer, but what i was trying to get accros is that Contra combines the Platforming and its a better game for it (than mario imo).
2) I do play games that lack stories, LOTS of them. What i don't do is finish them. I played Mario Galaxy, i played Super Mario Borthers wii and 3 and 2. Never finished any of them. And read my first line, i said "a good game is good" and i know one when i see one. And mario games (for the most part) are damn good. Its just that i find them boring.
3) Whether i am skillfull or not does not matter. I suck at fighting games, i still love them though. Specially the ones that have a story. But either way they are competitive and there are acutally mechanics tothe fighting. I see none in platforming when all that is invovled is jumping to dodge or land somewhere perfectly.
4) I never called anyone sad (thats a bannable offence). What was sad (if you are reffering to the other thread) is that no one demands maybe a little change from (Nintendo in that case, it happens with the other companies as well). Maybe a new IP here and there. You can play Mario games all you want bro.
