I just think people are a bit picky about games anymore, saying this or that "sucks" just b/c it's not perfect when in fact, most "sucky" games are fine to adequate.

We're all spoiled. It's true.

When I said "sucked" I meant in comparison to Legends/Ultimate Alliance. It wasn't, by any means, in my opinion, close to the worst game I've played.

Ah, m'kay. Yeah, I try hard not to do that anymore unless something actively sucks. I find it mean. Lotsa games (movies and comics and everything else, too) get tossed aside or ignored because they only get 3 out of 5 or 6 out of 10, and thus "suck". And since I'm a bitter, angry, mean-spirited person in real life, I've been trying to find little ways to show my appreciation for the mediocre.

*Ninjinister* · 04-08-2009, 04:51 PM

I feel ya, man. I like a lot of games most people hate. Adversely, I also really, really dislike a lot of games that are well-loved.

~~Leo656~~ · 04-08-2009, 05:00 PM

My problem is a knee-jerk hatred of almost ANYthing popular. I usually rediscover things once the hype is gone and all that, and enjoy them on my own. Cuz I hate sheep, you understand.

But yeah, me too. I find the gold in the mediocre and the tarnish on the beloved. People hate people like us.

God...the agony.

God. That back and forth is worse than when Jester tries to be funny.

Rag Doll Kung Fu on PS3.

This game is brilliant fun and actually has some depth to its combat, whilst having simple console-friendly controls (and it has a decent use for sixaxis!). Only downpoint is the developers leaving out the earlier-advertised online multiplayer.

Peanut · 04-10-2009, 01:14 PM

That game was cool like...3 years ago.

*raphael_is_cool* · 04-10-2009, 02:46 PM

This is the PS3 version, dickweed.

The PC and the PS3 version are practically the same thing, is what he means.

*Buslady* · 04-10-2009, 07:47 PM

we bought 3 DSis today one for each of us. I like it. im online with it right now. it does a bit more than DS, we like it. if you dont care for having a camea or getting online with it, stick with your DS...but if you want all that fun stuff, go for it. it updates its software online, you can download stuff - the browser is Opera, its weird but useable...games play just fine. no Advance size cartridge slot, inexchange for SD card slot. one touch screen still. slight redesign, power is a button on the lower half face next to the touch screen. lots more non-game function. for me, it works fine...im away often in the bus, it's another option for me to get online along with the ipod...i dont like carrying the laptop everywhere as much.

Well, I picked up a DS Lite after it launched. At that time, my sister kept telling me that I should wait because they would inevitably drop another model in the future, but that washed out front lit screen on the DS Phat was getting on my nerves (even though the Phat's buttons were far superior). I wanted a back-lit LCD. The Lite is a nice piece of hardware, but that glossy finish looks really trashy in the hands of people who sweat a lot like myself. Either way, it's served me well.

My sis stuck with her Phat to wait for something better. She picked up a DSi yesterday. I played around with it some. The screen is nicer, though the size difference is really marginal. The built in camera toys are sort of like Game Boy Camera, but with all the fun Nintendo in-jokes and quirky humor stripped out. Still fun for about 10 minutes though. Mp3 player is worthless without mp3 support. Perhaps they would consider offering that through the store though at a later date since they don't want to pay royalties on each unit sold. It's also got a matte finish, so no more smearing. It does have one really nice perk though. The D-Pad/buttons are raised and shaped like the Lite's, but have that "Clickly" response of the DS Phat. They're really nice...not $170 nice, but still comfortable and probably the best D-Pad to date.

Really, I don't see much reason to get one. When Game Boy Color hit, there was software to make it worth the jump. There's nothing on DSWare worth a damn, and Wii Ware has taught me there probably won't ever be. I'll save my money for a Pandora.

Question. Didn't you get a f*cking MICRO? Since I rarely fall for the Nintendo upgrade bullsh*t, I decided I would pick up a DSi with the $100 off trade-in that EB is offering. Mostly because I have a bunch of trade credit there already. I'm gonna pick up Rhythm Heaven while I'm at it, although I still wish they brought the GBA version of Rhythm Tengoku over.

WOW! Thanks for letting us know EXACTLY what the DSi can do! We wouldn't have known without you!

But it has way more accessible controls and gameplay, as well as new modes and such. So it's not exactly the same...jerk!
