This Just In: Nintendo Doesn't Get It

[bbobb]

Of course, you're free to express as much disagreement as you see fit. I just don't see the point in getting so damned worked up over it when I could be doing something fun... let getting around to some of those aforementioned underplayed games.

So why exactly are you posting here and not playing those underplayed games?

[bbobb]

It wasn't that it was too hard to progress at all; I was consistently making progress. It just felt wrong all over, and a lot of it I blame on the clunky controls. The excessive one-hit deaths didn't help matters. It was like Contra without the fun.

Excessive 1 hit deaths?

Gears of War?

WTF game did you play? Cause we obviously didn't play the same one.

Because I'm packing for a big move, with TNL breaks in between.

You take a hit to the head in Gears, you're dead. It's a realistic way of doing things, but isn't very fun if not well implemented.

This just in: this nigga never played Gears of War.

Dude, I kept getting hit in the head and dying. And the disc in my console said "Gears of War." I'm pretty sure that's the one. I wouldn't have brought it up if I hadn't played it.

You were obviously doing something completely wrong, because I never had that problem nor did anyone else.
Protip: it's not a Nintendo game, you can't just run up to the enemies and expect them to die.

Very funny. But no, it might not have been a literal one-hit death (it's been a while, after all), but I do remember that red gear lighting up really, really fast for no apparent reason. I think a lot of the problem is just that the controls never meshed well with me. It felt cumbersome and overcomplicated, and so often I felt like I was fighting the control design more than the aliens/monsters/whateverthefucktheywere.

I know I'm in the minority on this one, but that game just didn't do it for me. As I recall, Gears is very generous on the checkpoints, too. Progressing wasn't an issue; I just wasn't having any fun in the process.

So, are you assclowns going to continue to ignore Jame's valid point so you can contnue to argue with squall who we all know doesn't really know what he is talking about?

Man, some of you really enjoy wallowing in what you perceive to be stupidity. "Oh god, someone is posting things I think are stupid. Lets reply to him and talk to him as much as possible. I love talking to stupid people."


And for the record, the Nintendo hate gets down right retarded here. Do you guys email your gay friends to let them know how much you don't like cocks too? "man, I was watching this porn yesterday, and this dude, totally had a huge cock. I hate it."

What they're talking about here is basic level flow. Intensity followed by brief rest. If it's all intensity all the time it burns the player out, it's not fun.

Cave shooters beg to differ.
