Title: Mario Galaxy sucks
Post by: Phoenix Dark on November 02, 2007, 04:32:39 PM: I played it at Gamestop and couldn't believe how fucking UGLY it was. Maybe it was the TV I dunno, but damn. I only played for 10 minutes but it was quite underwhelming. I stayed and talked to a friend who works there, and noticed some kids came in and ran to the Wii kiosk. Even they thought it was dumb and moved on to Guitar Hero.

Post by: Rman on November 02, 2007, 05:27:58 PM: What an informed analysis, PD. It looks like you really took time play the game to its entirety.
Title: Re: Mario Galaxy sucks
Post by: Candyflip on November 02, 2007, 05:47:34 PM: Because obviously little bastard kids who hang out in Game Stop have such valuable opinions regarding video games.

Post by: MCD on November 02, 2007, 06:42:01 PM: god it's the type of game when you play, you want to wake people up just to tell them you did because it's revelatory. It's like you can FEEL the paradigm shifting under your feet when you play this, as if all Iwata's claims were proved true in an instant and the sound of a million doubters fell silent.

This game? It LOOKS like a 360 game, save resolution. Yes, they actually did do it. Anybody tries to post LAUGHING SMILIES at this proposition, poke them in the eye with your dick. They're laughing out of fear. They've actually done it here. ANYONE on GAF that denies the visual pleasure unfolding here is a bullshit artist and a troll. Yes, 360 can obviously do better but here is a Wii game that looks as good, and you won't even once remotely think 'oh hey if only that goomba had bump maping.'

Post by: Stocky on November 02, 2007, 07:27:01 PM: The only reason games on Wii are getting good reviews at all is because it's something new. I don't see much happening in the next year or so. The Wii will drop off.
Title: Re: Mario Galaxy sucks
Post by: Stocky on November 02, 2007, 07:34:41 PM: I still play Civilization II, bubba. I'm not in it for the graphics.

Keep on justifying why you play piece of shit games that should've ended long ago.

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on November 02, 2007, 07:41:26 PM: I dunno, I heard all this hype around the time of Super Mario Sunshine.

I still remember Jake Kazdai posting about how awesome it was to run around the town square kicking watermleons for like an hour and Miyamoto is the best and nothing on earth is better than Nintendo blah blah blah.

I'm giving it two full weeks before I believe a word coming out of any Nintendo fan's mouth.

Sunshine > Mario 64

also someone ban amir0x
Title: Re: Mario Galaxy sucks
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on November 02, 2007, 07:52:25 PM: ALSO!

EVERY first-party Wii game to date has been

BEST GAME EVER!!!

follow two months later by

"Upon reflection, previous games in the series may have been better. It would appear."

(c.f. Zelda, WarioWare, Paper Mario, Metroid.)

So EXCUSE ME if I'm not exactly craning my neck upwards to catch your bee-suited jism.

Post by: drohne on November 02, 2007, 07:53:07 PM: yeah -- literally every big nintendo game gets this rapturous initial reception. sunshine, wind waker, tp, phantom hourglass. each was the single best game ever. it's as if those first players haven't got time to muster an opinion and so trot out the stock response. radiohead album reviews come out the same way. i think galaxy looks great, but you just have to tune that shit out

funny you should mention that...I was thinking of In Rainbows when I wrote my post.

and yes, Galaxy looks pretty good. but if you think I'm believing ANYTHING ANYONE says for several days yet--this includes you, dcharlie--you must think I'm some kind of goddamned moron.

fool me once, shame on me. fool me 27 times, I must be reading GAF.
Title: Re: Mario Galaxy sucks
Post by: CajoleJuice on November 02, 2007, 07:56:06 PM: I still like In Rainbows more than their past three albums.

yeah, same here. but I'll BELIEVE you now!

looking back on what people were saying about shit like Amnesiac it's just embarassing
Title: Re: Mario Galaxy sucks

RADIOHEAD :-X :-X :-X

MARIO :-X :hyper :-X
Title: Re: Mario Galaxy sucks
Post by: recursivelyenumerable on November 02, 2007, 08:41:52 PM: Amnesiac is still my favorite Radiohead record.
Title: Re: Mario Galaxy sucks
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on November 02, 2007, 08:44:36 PM: I can't name a single song of Amnesiac. Packt Like Sardines? Maybe.
Title: Re: Mario Galaxy sucks
Post by: Robo on November 02, 2007, 08:50:30 PM: Come on...

Pyramid Song, I Might Be Wrong, You and Whose Army? That album is good, although I agree, In Rainbows is much, much better.

i think it's time to euthanize the playstation generation.

"Mario is shit, look at the textures"
"Wow the textures! this will be my GOTY no doubt"

WHEN did the "BE A MINDLESS FUCKING CASUAL" virus start infecting people?

Mario just curled one off into the mouths of all the haters but they are so fucking mongified that all they can talk about is the graphics. The very fucking definition of a casual.

When I grew up, the "hardcore" gamers wouldn't give a fuck about graphics...

Post by: drohne on November 02, 2007, 09:00:21 PM: the last several radiohead albums have been elaborate receptacles for a couple songs that i actually want to hear. on kid a it's everything in its right place and how to disappear completely. on amnesiac it's...i think just pyramid song. hail to the thief is there there and...probably something else, i haven't listened to that record in ages. i don't know if i've found the songs i like on in rainbows. the first minute of reckoner with that little self-possessed guitar line against all that drum clangour is great, but then thom yorke starts mewling and the drums start to behave themselves. oh, videotape is amazing -- there are thousands of sad songs that sound happy, but i can't think of many happy songs that sound so sad. and also weirdly sinister. and it's beautifully sung. though otherwise i find myself thinking for the first time that i'd like these songs better if thom yorke wasn't singing them, or if he was singing them differently -- his melisma on this version of nude obliterates the meaning of the words. 'don't get any/big ideas/they're not/gonna happen' means something. 'don't get any/big ideas/thee-eeeh-eeey're-noo-oooot/gonna happen' somehow means nothing. that song has been lived with for too long -- they should have recorded it a long time ago

so basically what i'm trying to say is that in rainbows is the single best album ever. insert commentary on iconoclastic direct download scheme here. also the phrase 'tireless innovators'

Post by: bork on November 02, 2007, 09:09:43 PM: PD is dumb, this game is great and it could have been on any system and have been awesome. Graphics don't matter; shut the fuck up, and this thread is now off-topic so buh-bye. Go post in the other Mario thread.
