I was hoping you'd get to making this thread sooner or later.

You do have a few good points, I admit. I can't relate, because I am a seasoned gamer and am used to cutscenes and the like, but newer gamers may well have been scared off by the slow start in Galaxy. Not a bad thread.

@darthdevidem01, that's impossible, since Super Mario 64 is the best game of all time.

EDIT: I realize that this may well be a joke thread, and if so, I have been had. I really can't tell with Rol most of the time.


Pffft Banjo Kazooie> Super Mario 64

Did you just quote me before I posted? That was freaky.

I assume you're not objecting to 5 and 6 being on the top, but to the 3 > 4. Well, it was! 4's most advanced special effects were puppets dangling from a piece of string. Yoda looked like a childrens' toy. It's for the technology that I loved Star Wars episode 3. The story wasn't bad either, but even 1997's technology couldn't do justice to Star Wars.

Oddly enough, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi didn't seem to suffer from that problem of appearing to be a Sci-Fi puppet show. Not that 4 was bad, mind you. Still one of my favourite movies. My hate is reserved for Star Wars 2 with its emo Anakin.

Fine, offer rational reasons to support your subjective opinion. See if I care!

Obviously Episode 3 is better than Episode 1 and 2. WALL-E was better than Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.

But Revenge of the Sith was no Empire Strikes Back, was it? No "Luke, I am your father".

8.2 million sales and probably 5 million pirated copies, Piracy is denting Nintendo sales



"...the best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.

I agree, I miss the days when I could pop in a game and start playing it almost immediately.

I also think that it is a huge problem with Mario Party... even for me, mario party takes far far too long for text to appear and scripted events to happen. I rarely like mario party and I feel like i am always pressing a to skip through things.

Here is how a good intro looks like, short and straight to the point. 

That is a great intro

 

As for the main point about SMG I can't really say I agree but its nice to see someone has the courage to write something like this.
