When I first came into this thread and implied that this is a troll thread I backed it up with a post of yours where you stated what you want from a new Super Mario Bros. game which included the wish for a bargain pricetag and that's unreasonable. Flagship games do not retail for bargain pricetags. It's really a strange thing to say. Then there's the following segment of our argument in the other thread (this post also includes the box with your wishes): http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4523818 "Last time I checked, ROL, Super Mario Bros. came bundled with my NES, Super Mario Land came BUNDLED with my Game Boy, Super Mario World came BUNDLED with my SNES. And Super Mario Bros. 2? I got as a gift for my birthday (I got All-Stars for Christmas). The only Mario games our family ever bought new were Super Mario 3 (japanese imported), Super Mario 64 and NSMB on the DS, AT 40$. Super Mario 3D Land I bought new because I'm now much more active on forums and all and much more in the market, but that's an exception. Mario Land 2 and Super Mario Galaxy, both were bought second hand. I did not buy NSMB Wii, and I never will. It is a sales cockfest. That's not the direction I want for Mario. If it's to be 2D, I want something as good as Galaxy. (Thankfully, at least one point on which we probably agree.)" It's like you take pride in not buying Mario games new. Then two or three days later NSMB2 gets unveiled and you make this thread. I consider it a possibility that this is a revenge thread; or at the very least revenge played a part in its creation. |
@bold. No... not at all. I'm really glad you asked Rol, why do we always fight like this over misunderstandings...
What I meant, when I said that about Mario, I said that in reply to you, you had accused me of spitting on the Mario series because I didn't want to pay more than 30$ for a 2D revival. I had to explain my reasoning with that paragraph, and plus instead of asking me really why I considered 30$ a reasonable price, you just assumed I despised the series... Stop assuming!
The reason I consider 30$ a reasonable price, for me, for a mario game is:
1) I rarely buy games new.
2) I don't have much disposable income.
3) The game series is 25 years old, the technology has dramatically improved since then. To inject artistic detail in 2D games costs much less today than it did back then.
4) I refused to buy NSMBWii at 60$ because I considered it a rip-off. I did mind you buy NSMB new for the DS at 40$. 40$ being a compromise I'd be willing to accept, 30$ was what I considered the right pricepoint given what it takes to make the game, and sure it was wishful thinking, of course. But I was looking at it from the consumer's point of view.
@italics. It's not because your name is in the OP that this is a revenge thread. Geez man, you're like one of my best buds on here... 
The one thread I did challenge you in was the Blue Ocean/Red Ocean one, and I was clear in the OP to state it was an invitation strictly to you to debate.
But what would I want revenge from, I don't even get it. Yes, you hurt my feelings often, but what did you do lately for me to do that? Throwing me under the bus during a game? Come on... Yes it was tough, but I realize it's only a game. (By the way please don't elaborate unless you want to get me in trouble)
And plus, I even sent you a PM about this 4 days ago privately just to you, so you know this is actually how I feel. How did you get that wrong?
