Sorry, but if I'm buying a game, it needs to be more than fun.
Using the DS to play the Nintendo version of the Dogz screen saver isn't my idea of fun, either.
So, again, fuck fun. If we're going to debate about this, give me some rationale that can actually be defined.
No.Quote:

It looks entertaining. Why does anyone need more justification than that? If you want people to describe why they think the gameplay is going to be captivating or why they think the plot looks interesting, it's not going to happen.
Content. Depth. Environment. Functionality. Hell, maybe toss in Challenge, but I'd rather not since defining Challenge can be just as ambiguous.Quote:

Fun is none of these. No two people can fully agree on fun, so it shouldn't be used for the justification of anything.Quote:

I love people who get worked up over this game.
I'm with you so far...Quote:

Well, the legitimacy of this article is being debated in GAF, so, we'll see.
Perhaps the only thing funnier than people getting worked up over this game are people getting worked up over fake pictures!!!!!!! LOL
How do you want me to reply? If something does not look like an enjoyible experience because it doesn't seem to offer anything more than entertainment then don't play it.Quote:

Personally, I see Nintendogs being in the same catagory as Animal Crossing: It looks like something that is fun to mess around with for a while but there is no real point to the whole thing; kind of like a yo-yo.
What I have never understood are people going into the threads that they have no interest in and derailing the whole subject by proclaiming that it sucks.
Yeah I totally derailed the conversation about...
Anyway, maybe one day I should make a second account here. Call her "Sinstress69" or some other name, make her from somewhere in Eastern Europe and have her post "i want buy game looks fun" in every single Video Game Discussion thread here. Wonder how many times she'd get quoted or agreed with. She sure as hell would never, heaven forbid, derail a thread because she has no voice of dissent! At least nobody would ignore her.
Well, Kano probably would.
Because...
...isn't derailing at all. :rolleyes:Quote:

I don't think a two word, non derogatory and personally insulting sentence is an act of derailment as well.
Anyways, by all means; you and anyone else here is free to bring whatever the topic of conversation was in this thread back from wherever I took it. Click here if it'll make the task easier to do.
