| BenKenobi88 said: IGN also only played 30% of the SSE mode, fact. It was Bozon, who can be kind of a whiner, and the other ones there who were apparently stupid. They talked about how they didn't wavedash because it was lame like snaking in Mario Kart...which doesn't really make sense...wavedashing is a hard, advanced move that they likely didn't know anyway, plus IT'S NOT EVEN IN BRAWL...so I pretty much gave up on IGN there. They're clearly thick. And no, this isn't just me getting pissed because they talked my precious Brawl down (ok a little), but it's clear by this and a couple other Brawl articles that they don't know as much as you think they do, and they clearly did not play the Japanese Brawl for very long, as they came away with little of importance to say. Just searching for criticism and bashing the game for no reason...not even mentioning the myriad of amazing additions this game has. |
You should hear the 3 red lights podcast.
Someone writes in asking them what games for the Wii in 08 do they want to play, besides Brawl or Kart,(and they couldn't say "nothing").
None of them could name one game.
So, they called the Nintendo podcast guy with the accent, and he couldn't name one. Finally he said Wii Fit.
No mention of Oboro, Tales of Symphonia, Fragile, Crystal Chronicles, Animal Crossing, Kirby, Rygar, ect, ect.
These fuckers WORK for a goddamn videogame site!!
Then they went on to bash Wii Ware games, said XBox arcade was gonna have better selection, and finally said that the "real" console race was between the PS3 and the 360 because they Wii didn't have a "high def" experience and that was what this generation of consoles is all about.
Honestly, I could cut their fucking fanboy heads off, for pretending to be credible. I'd rather have Jaffe talking about the Wii, because even he wouldn't have the pure assholish gaul it took to spew some of that bullshit.
Also, how do I know like 10x more about the game industry than anyone on that podcast, and they're always looking shit up, like release dates and sheets, and don't even know Kirby was announce, and get all shitpissed excited about Halo Wars and Too Human(true story).
Then, the super prick of the show(sounded just like the superprick of Wiikinreview, mighta been him) started spouting about how the 360 had no future, that it needed a console redesign, would be dead soon, and all this shit, because Blu-Ray won. He said Microsoft had no clue and didn't care if they did.
If you really wanna get homicidal, listed to that goddamn "3 red lights" podcast, and lose respect for all things IGN in the process.
The prick guy is just so dismissive of all things that are against what he says, but he just knows so much less about gaming than I would expect anyone paid to follow it.
Spews pure Wii hate fanboy rhetoric one minute, then talks about how Warioware was in his top 10 games of last year. The guy with the accent in the Wii podcast, he's like the boss, or something, knows little to nothing about gaming. Then the prick guy, and finally the guy who just kinda lets the prick guy talk, and then hosts the show. The guy who lets the prick talk is the most informed one there, but still, 6/10 gaming knowledge, imo.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
