playing with them is not fun!

I'm down with horror movies because the gore is cartoony and silly.  I dig gore in horror films.  But Trauma Center is trying to be like REALISTIC DOCTOR SIMULATOR and I can't handle that.
Have you ever played any Trauma Center game at all? :lol

"Beat" Mario Galaxy.

I say beat because I haven't unlocked Luigi. I want to, but I think it's time to move onto NMH 1/2.

Game is better than my other favorite 3d platformers. Suffice to say, Nintendo did not disappoint. A masterpiece, and by far and beyond the best Mario, even better than Yoshi's Island, which I thought would be an impossible feat. I also didn't imagine this but I don't think I've liked a game this gen as much as Mario Galaxy. I think I like it more than Portal, Resident Evil 5 and Dead Rising, something I didn't picture when I first booted the game up.

I tried out Mad World and I'm sorry to say I took it back. The gore is really off putting and I'm someone who likes gore in games. But Mad World is ridiculous and disgusting. Game tries too hard. I want to feel cool when playing an action game, not like a demented psychopath.

There isn't really much to improve imo. I haven't read any impressions, so I don't know what they've changed, except for Mario having more power-up suits and Yoshi.
It's been two years since I've played the original game. I really need my Galaxy fix.

It's funny. In past gens some of my favorite games were rpgs, but aside from Mass Effect 2 - which I would almost consider an rpg lite - I can't say any of the rpgs I've played this gen rank among my favorite games of the generation. I mean, Tales of Vesperia, Blue Dragon, Fallout 3, Mass Effect 1, Demon's Souls...they're all great games, but I wouldn't want to touch them ever again and it's getting harder and harder to want to invest time into rpgs unless it's an SMT or DQ game. Oh well, c'est la vie.

oh for fucking sake himu,you went on a rant because the ps3 version of NMH was censored and now you are saying that mad world is too gory? do you suffer from double personality or what?

What Himu?

The violence is a lot more funny than it is grotesque. Other than being a really fun and funny game, it really is something you shouldn't miss.

this! the gore in mad world is so silly i could re-enact it if i had tons of ketchup packs!

Himuro, Madworld is pretty bad.

The basic combat is decent but that's about it.  The game is four hours long with no unlockables.  So you blaze through it once and there is absolutely nothing to keep you playing.  It feels half-finished.  There's no reward for trying to score higher and the scoring system as is, is totally busted.

I think if they had let the game cook for another year and added more to it, it could've been a great game.  But it feels like a half-assed action game that has nothing on god hand or any good beat 'em up. 

The matsuno story is ...eh, ok.

uh anyway i guess i should throw my 2 cent about mad world
i loved the game but here's the reason
very few games try their hand at humor and when there is a game that try his hand at dark humor that's something that's more unique than rare

for example
Kreese: You know, on that first version of Martin he shot those out of his crotch.
Howard: I remember that, the censors made him change it because they said it made the death less family friendly.
Kreese: I wouldn't let my kids watch.
Howard: You got kids?
Kreese: That's what the courts tell me.

the game itself has a kickass soundtrack but somewhat bland gameplay,you pick someone and then proceed to throw it at the first spiky thing you see (heck they even make a joke about that,one of the commenters says "i like jack style,he either breaks stuff with people or break people with stuffs!") and then repeat until the game says you can go kill the boss

i guess the developer realized this so in every level they throw a bloodsport challenge which usualy involve killing tons of guys in some weird way,for example in one of them you have to put the baddies in barrel so they explode in a firework style,another has you using the baddies has darts by lobbing them at a giant target with a baseball bat,it really helps making the game feel more unique

then there are the boss battle's and they are more of the "wait until the boss drop it's guard and then hit it" variety but still not really that bad,and when you kill one you are also forced in a QTE to deal the final blow but they feel a little better thanks to motion control

I think it's worth beating for the Matsuno story and couple of good boss fights.  Plus I mean <4 hours!  You will finish it in 1 day if you don't mind the repetition.

MadWorld...yeah

I'm guessing you're renting or  :pirate these games, and if not, Madworld goes for $7 on Amazon, so I don't think length is a concern.  The game feels like an arcade game and I wouldn't complain that Turtles in Time or X-men are short games.  The game itself is alright.  Again, it is an arcade like game so there is that repetition and earning higher scores in it.  Boss fights are mostly fun despite lacking a lot of personality, which is what made NMH1 entertaining (note: NMH2 is duller than Madworld.  NMH2 reaches unknown levels of dull.  That game is a tumbleweed on wheat toast in a grey room).  Best part of Madworld is the music and how it works with each level's theme.  The game generally looks neat too, both with the designs and overall black and white stuff.   I think it would have been better if they made it a pure brawler.  As it is, it's brawler mixed with the faffing item combo kills from Dead Rising, just not nearly as good.

My point still stands.  Madworld is dirt cheap for new so I don't think game length is a big concern.  And keep the receipt for NMH2.

God Hand is great, but it's a little overrated (like all of Clover/Platinum's games). It definitely doesn't hold up to the two kings of the genre, Ninja Gaiden and DMC. As far as second string action games go, I'd put Shinobi ahead of it as well.

Mad World is absolutely abysmal though. It's a joke to even mention alongside real action games.

God Hand was soooo awesome... the control scheme was unorthodox but worked surprisingly well, the game had wacky jappy in spades, and the first stage theme song was badass. This was one of the only times I'm glad I listened to GAF about a game, when I saw it in a Circuit City bargain bin for $15.

Most people agree that NMH1 is a good game.  It's budget and janky but it's got heart + soul + originality + punk.  The shmup stage on the train is still absolutely genius.  As was the cannon puzzle boss that followed with the old-school western NMH theme playing leading up to it.

Unfortunately NMH2 sucks.

yeah, NMH2 is terrible

nothing happens in the game.  it's just a whole lot of nothing.  no personality, no nothing.  the best part of the game is when you drive your motorcycle down an empty street for a minute or two just watching the background.  that was exhilarating compared to the rest of the game.

I don't read GAF so I don't know what the weaboo distinguished mentally-challenged fellow opinion is about the game but NMH2 is scoring higher than the original on a majority of if not all review sites. Whether or not that matters is personal opinion of course but I think it's relevant to your comment.

I went back to Galaxy. I just popped it in for a few stars and ended up getting a shit load more. God this game is perfect. Any time I play it I have to get more and more stars.

Tried out Wii Sports Resort...it's impressive. Surprisingly. It's mostly due to the technology. Pre-Motion + games aren't NEARLY as precise. Goddamn the next Zelda is going to be something else.
