Re: Gate of Thunder

Shinnok

This game is completely inferior to Lords of Thunder. I've tried both, and there really is no comparison.

Re: Review: Art of Fighting (Neo Geo)

Shinnok

Okay, Street Fighter II blows. The only good Street Fighter was Street Fighter III: Third Strike. I don't understand why everyone likes that old piece of junk. It's way too frantic, the characters are sorely unbalanced, and most of them suck.

As for this game, the only version worth owning in the Genesis port.

So basically Cally, what you're telling me is that the reason protagonists of numerous Japanese video games are teenaged males...is because of Japanese culture? You don't really believe that, do you?

And yes, before you accuse me, I did delete my old post. I didn't like the direction I took it.

Re: Japan to get the Classic Controller Pro

Shinnok

I'm not a controller enthusiast or anything, but the Sony's controllers are perfect for fighting games. And I don't mean Tekken-style fighting games, I mean Street Fighter III: Third Strike, KOF XI, and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. I couldn't imagine playing those games on any other console. Though, Capcom Vs. SNK 2 on the Gamecube is pretty good (despite the size of the Gamecube controller's d-pad).

Re: Wisconsin To Tax Digital Downloads

Man oh man, you defend your title of "Captain_Comedy" so well! My sides are officially split! Please...encore, ENCORE!

Seriously though, it's just the nostalgia talking. That game was good for its time, and that's all. And I know you'll write a big response to the contrary, but I'm just going to say it. Super Mario Bros. 3 was made on the NES, and it looked, sounded, and played much better than all of its predecessors. Even Super Mario Bros. 2, which blew chunks, was superior.

But I can relate. I love Sonic '06 to death, but practically everbody else thinks of it as abysmal. This is probably because I adore Sonic titles, so I will overlook its many faults. In fact, it's one of my favorite Sonic games of all time. So, what drives a person to love crap? Nostalgia, and that's all.

Re: Review: Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES)

Oh yes Bass, thank you so much "for putting forth factual information". But just because he corrected me, doesn't change the fact that this game is a piece of garbage. The review states that the levels have variety. Are they kidding? It's the same caves and grassy hills over, and over. The music is repetitive, since there are only a couple of tracks, and I said it best about the bosses giving "repeat performances".

The first Super Mario Bros. had an excuse for being crap, it was created before man discovered fire. But even that had more substance than this abomination.

Luckily, they corrected all of the problems when they developed Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World. Now, playing those games was a "highly enjoyable experience".

Re: Super Mario 64

Shinnok

This game is much better than Super Mario Galaxy, but the best game ever? I don't think so.

@ Blk_Mage_Ctype
Thank God someone started talking about politics! Hey, I have an idea! Let's talk about the historic election of Barack Obama, or maybe how bad the economy has gotten and how it's all Bush's fault!

Wait, I thought of an even better plan! Let's complain about paying extra money for video games, and leave the politics to the people of CNN. After all, that's what they get paid for. Is that going to be okay for you?

..."meaningless wars", ugh.

Re: Review: Final Fight (SNES)

Shinnok

I don't see the point in purchasing any of the Final Fight games when Streets of Rage 2 and 3 are up for grabs. Both titles look, sound, and play a whole lot better.

Re: Review: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES)

Shinnok

Man, you must really like Final Fantasy. I mean, you'd have to, why else would you give any entry of that dreadful series an "easy ten".

Seriously though, what is so great about those games? Is it the monotonous gameplay, effeminate male protagonists, or the annoying repetitive music? I'd love to know.

Re: Review: Yoshi's Story (N64)

Shinnok

This game is fun Mickeymac, and the pop-up book aspect is very charming. Excellently worded! And yeah Slangman, a 7/10 is appropriate. Because, if you're like me, you like a game to have a good story. And, like most (not all) Nintendo titles, this game can't deliver.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Shinnok

This game isn't so bad (I do agree, it is overrated), though I believe that Twilight Princess is far superior. The climactic fight scene (despite the difficulty) was epic, you got to be adult Link, and no Tingle!

Re: Review: Super Metroid (SNES)

Shinnok

"Somebody" erased their post that previously sat above mine, which made my comment more relevant. "Whoever" wrote it stated that this game was the best game on the VC, bar none. So I responded with a big ol' NOPE!!!!!

Re: Review: Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES)

Shinnok

I found this game to be rather boring. They recycle the same few songs over and over, in traditional Mario fashion. But to make it worse, the bosses are always the same two guys. I have this for the NES, I'll just stick with it.

Re: Vectorman

Shinnok

I thought Vectorman 2 was a better game. But as they say, the value of art is subjective.

Re: Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse

Shinnok

When it comes to Castlevania, my heart belongs to Symphony of the Night, and Bloodlines for the Genesis. Dracula looked so awesome in Symphony, and what a commanding presence.

Re: Secret of Mana

Shinnok

I own Brave Fencer, and it's very fun. It's like Square was trying to make an interesting game for once in their lengthy career.

Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Shinnok

The only reason these games are overrated is because they're incredible. Now Mario titles on the other hand, are overrated. I'd say only Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario 64 are worth owning.
