Re: Review: Final Fantasy IV (DS)

@MrPinguy
First the graphics are not that nice, FFIII DS actually changed the look and perspective. This one keeps the same perspective, and doesn't change the enemies much, so they look almost the same just 3D.

FFIVA had awesome additional content, being able to use everyone at the end was awesome, as was the added dungeon. Yes there was some glitchiness it was bothersome but nothing major. I don't know about the additional content on this, but as far as I know it isn't near as good.

Finally the added difficulty, I was liking it up until the moon (where I stopped playing) but having 3 mages on the team, and only one of which can consistently survive a physical attack from random eu/prokaryotes.
I'm not a fan of having to heal, after every single battle.

Re: The N64 and Nintendo’s Fall From Grace

Except Nintendo was in their prime during the N64 days, during the SNES they were pretty hot, but everyone knows SM64 beats World, and OoT beats ALttP (so does MM, LA, OoS, and OoA, but I digress) just some people will lie and say they aren't

Re: Sony: PSP is Better Than The DSi

Digiki

The PSP has better retail games than the Wii. The DS is better though.
DSi isn't since it's a stopgap, that's trying to mimic the PSP somewhat, and likely won't bring much new to the table.

Also NSMB is over-rated its over pretty quick, and the frail difficulty doesn't help extend the game.

Re: Review: Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

I'd give it an 8, style over substance, Mario 64 was so much more fun, the total linearity kills the exploration and doesn't allow for any creativity to take shortcuts and such.

Re: Final Fantasy

Dawn of Souls version is nice, yes it may have enemies that are pretty much millionaires, that beg you to kill them, but it's still got the charm.
Although I guess I would enjoy it more if it wasn't walk around pressing A.

You don't have to go fast at all, you can slow down time, just spend a few days chilling, whatever you want. You have plenty of time to do all sorts of things. If you don't want to rush, the possibility of having to pretty much restart a dungeon exists, but that's a lot like just regularly entering a dungeon, and leaving to come back later in other games.

The ime system is this games biggest draw, so unfortunately if that's not your thing, it'll lose a lot of it's shine.

Ocarina is better though, this one is slightly more fun, but Ocarina is far longer, with better dungeons. (Since this doesn't have many, and the water one sucks) But still this is basically the best game not on the VC yet.

There are other pictures in the previous threads about the game. And PALgamer has also found links to some videos that are posted there.

Oh, I just came to this article directly so I never saw the previous articles.

Re: Review: Kirby's Adventure (NES)

I'm a Fire Emblem fanboy because I don't think it's a faceless anime? When it isn't at all. Sure the stories are standard, and you don't like that, you only like the crappy Sonic ones. I argue your idiotic comment and you call me a fanboy, I'm not praising FE, like you're praising that dopey hedgehog, I've yet to call you a fanboy (as of this line) but you most definitely are one. Maybe if a flaw in FE was presented it would be discussed, standard stories is done.

Claiming Sonic is great at something it doesn't do well at all, and then when people say it isn't you ignore it, then just dumbly criticize something else. Has Sonic ever delivered a good story, much less both a good story and good gameplay (which it rarely delivers as well)?

We know you hate silent protagonists, you don't need to rant on them. Link doesn't need to speak. They don't want to make him speak, who cares if you don't like it, others do. If you hate it so much, don't play Zelda since it obviously doesn't cater to your interests, there are hundreds of characters out there that do talk. And the interconnecting storylines thing from way back is dumb too, why waste time creating, and developing some silly way to make all the games somehow connected, if the games are made to standalone that should be enough, because how many sequels with whack stories do we need? The Tales series isn't interconnected, hurry go bash it!

Re: Review: Kirby's Adventure (NES)

Ugh. because I don't care about a story in a freaking platform game, I don't like stories...

Personally I'd rather not have a story than a stupid, tacked-on, rush-job of a story. Calling Fire Emblem a faceless anime is either ignorant or idiotic (although it's some of both if it's ignorant). Sonic's characters don't hold a candle to most FE characters, or even the average RPG character. Lots of Sonic characters don't have a distinct look, and none are interesting."Hi I'm Sonic, I go fast!" "Hi I'm Amy, I stock Sonic, that's about it"

But I suppose you're right, I guess I like lazy storytelling (this is sarcasm, for those that don't know), and you like lazy gameplay. "Look at me, I'm playing Sonic, I can hold the d-pad/analog stick in one direction, and occasionally jump!"

Link can stay silent, there's nothing wrong with a silent protagonist, but I suppose you are opposed to role-playing (or just too lazy) so you criticize it because, they didn't make dialogue for you.

I can agree with the Wii lack of selection though.

Re: Review: Kirby's Adventure (NES)

Because instead of making a Sonic game that plays well, they should focus on stupid new characters, shallow storylines and characters, and an unneeded timeline...

Fire Emblem does the things you complimented about Sonic several times better, and is actually fun to play.

Wow, because if something doesn't talk it automatically loses... Gameplay is what's important.

And how does Sonic have creative characters? Oh look a bunch of different coloured hedgehogs, and other characters based on animals... By that logic Pokemon has 493 colourful and creative characters, +alternate forms, +the trainers
