Forums - Nintendo Discussion - IGN Editorial: Blinded by MARIO

Acevil on 15 January 2010

Great another wonderful read from IGN, I hope they keep this work up, they could always use more traffic for their wonderful site.*

*This was mostly sarcasm!

Seriously I wonder if IGN wonders why each year they see a decline in traffic, and they continue to do this? I am not going to argue with the editor or his fan, but really it seems all they do these days is hate on one single company.

That quote tree was becoming a war crime.

No, Kasz was the one originally making a point here, and if you wan to argue with him you have ot address his point. Professionalism in the relaying of one's opinion does affect perceived validity for many people, myself included. The man isn't writing an editiorial. He's having a breakdown. I'm embarrassed for him, because the language and vindictiveness on display here is not something that a grown man should be showing in public about anything, least of all video games, and in that case least of all because a game is selling better than he wants it to.

He's complaining that people like New Super Mario Bros. Wii too much. And he's doing it in a completely unrelatable way.

hes saying its selling TOO MUCH FOR ITS QUALITY AND WORK INPUT....he relating the game to another game that in his opinion should be regarded as a higher platformer.....i know his point, hes saying that daemon had no professionalism, he was expressing himself as writer, even if he has no professionalism, he still makes a valid point which is professional enough for me

You agreeing with him does not mean he's writing professionally. That's not how professionalism works.

you are once again missing the point, i could care less if he was professional, he still makes good poi nts....you know what fine, HIS ARTICLE WAS NOT PROFESSIONAL...are you happy? does that make you happy? that the ign writer was not professional enough for you....or does it make you sad that he actually makes a good point which happens to be that a mario game is not all that?

Part of the reason it's not professional is beca use he actually doesn't make any good points. It's not very good and it's not very professional.

 

whether he makes good points or not is subjective....he makes plenty of good points imo, like the fact that nsmb has no online, or that ninty didnt make any big jumps, or that the game has 4 characters, idk about you but he made plenty good points, some were off, but either way they are his points, and they are valid

No, it's not subjective. He didn't make any good points. "Because online" doesn't mean anything. If the online isn't good then there is nothing to brag about, but the actual inclusion or removal of online doesn't determine quality so much as the actual implementation.

YES IT DOES...online is something some games should have FOR EXAMPLE a multiplayer game such as NSMB, could you imagine how much fun it would be to play people with headsets and leaderboards and user created worlds...the posibilites are endless...and yes whether he made good points or not are subjective, anyone could say he is right and back it up, or you could say he is wrong and back it up.....online does mean something, but sadly ninty doesnt seem to care >_>

Nope. Every game doesn't need online. He didn't make any good points. This is not subjective.

 

did is say every game needs online? PLEASE BOLD THAT FOR ME BECAUSE I AM REREADING MY POST AND I SEE THAT I SAID THAT SOME GAMES SHOULD HAVE ONLINE >_>.....and he did make good points. it is subjective...we could do this all day...but unless you say something usefull i wont be replying to you anymore

YOU LIKE TO POST LIKE THIS A LOT DON'T YOU? IGN IS WRONG AND THEY MADE NO GOOD POINTS. NSMBWII DOES NOT REQUIRE ONLINE MULTIPLAYER. I THINK IT COULD HAVE BENEFITTED BUT THE GAME IS SO GOOD AS IT IS THAT I DON'T FEEL LIKE I WAS RIPPED OFF - BECAUSE I WASN'T AND WHAT I GOT WAS A GREAT GAME.

Got it memorized?

i do when LIKE TO TYPE LIKE THIS WHEN YOU TWIST MY WORDS AROUND >_>.....it does not require it, but damn just freaking do it already, its so freaking simple with the money they have....YES, it could have benefitted, and you do not get ripped off, it is a great game, BUT  the article still makes good points

I don't really care if a game deserve to sell, as long as people love it and buy, that's why companies make games. That's business.

What touched me about the article is something no one is touching:

Nintendo always made the best games, their games were in a different level, they were the best reviewed games year after year. GOTY without Nintendo had never happened. The best Nintendo game came out in 2007. If you think they haven't dropped in quality, you are mistaken.
They may comeback this year, I see Zelda, Galaxy2 some of the best games this year, but I am only hoping.
But, to be fair, they are more successful now than ever before, something is definitely working for them.

YES EXACTLY, HE DID MAKE SOME GOOD POINTS!!

The writter.

In reference to what radiantshadow92 says, I can see how people think that NSMBWii is less innovative (and meant less risks) than what it could have been and I respect their views.

I also think that Nintendo has decided to offer both a classic (NSMBWii) and a somewhat more innovative (Galaxy 2) software. I am guessing their strategy will pay off.

 

In what regards to my personal opinion, I would have loved to see a more stylised 2d Mario offering with better and cuter graphics, but that's just me.

No need to be facetious.

You were merely misty-eyed at best.
