Man it seems that all my threads are complaint threads, broke the habit!

So Fat princess is out on Playstation Network, online only(dunno when it came out I played it at a friends - he bought it on launch night) and I've got to say I am in love with Fat Princess. Not the actual princess, the game. Though she is kinda cute.

I'll try to briefly describe the game: its like Team Fortress 2 where you have classes manage your castle and feed the enemy's princess which you have in a dungeon. The fatter the princess the more people it takes to move it, (Think payload except one guy is 'lifting it' the others just stand near.)There are 5 classes in the form of hats that the Villager wears: Warrior, Mage, Priest, Archer, Worker.

Warriors have swords and upgrade to spears, mages have fire spells and upgrade to ice.

Priests heal and upgrade to life drain (from enemies), archers have bows(duh) and upgrade to Blunderbuss (a fat shotgun).

Workers have axes to cut trees and rocks for resources, and upgrade to a bomb throwing ability.

Finally the Villager that isn't a class, its what you spawn with. They have a slap ability that can make enemies drop what they're holding. you need to get a hat at a hat store in your castle to choose a class (This is because classes don't upgrade individually, they upgrade the store so everyone can be a level 2. Workers upgrade themselves first I've found because they're doing all the damn work :p) All classes can switch between level 1 and 2 so workers essentially become all purpose, priests as well. There are control points in certain maps that make the objective easier.

I decided to go online and read about this game (I might even buy a Pony Slaystation 3) but it turns out like Resident Evil 5 that people are bawwing over it. Here's an excerpt from some woman's blog here [http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2008/07/i-write-letters.html]:

"...Fat Princess. It looks and sounds just adorable, but the only thing I can't figure out is why anyone would want to rescue a fat princess in the first place, since everyone knows that fat girls are unlovable human garbage at whom any sensible bloke would sooner hurl invective than cast a longing glance." She's complaining about how it will spawn a generation of fat-hating assholes, yet she rips on them herself. If you played the game then you might agree that she's just jealous because she didn't get any royalties for having the Blue princess based off her.

WAH! So it's a GAME where you have to feed a princess things to make her fat. So what? Why start a protest over it?

Okay, I'm going to start a protest aginst TF2 because it's too fast paced. Let's see what other think of that.

I shall join your cause.

I want Fat Princess, but I don't have enough money to buy it.

But that would be silly! This is dehumanizing or something!

Honestly, I think these people are taking this way too seriously. It's not insulting anyone, it's just a joke that they made into a gameplay mechanic. What's wrong with that?

Yeah, Fat Princess is full of delicious goodness. I haven't played it recently (been playing Batman: Arkham Asylum), but every time I do it's a fucking blast.....that is, if I can connect to a proper game once in a while...

If you're interested, the Playstation Group [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Escapist-PlayStation-Gamers] is planning to have a Fat Princess get-together this Saturday, join in if you can.

"Damn it, he's too fast! Where's the Spy Checker when you need him!"

"Sir, inside our base roasting everyone's ass!"

"Well what about the Heavy!?!"

"Om nomming a sandwich sir!"

"Sniper?"

"On the phone."

Just here to say I highly approve of Alice. (mostly because she made fucking [i/]Thanatos[/i]).

But I should probably say something OT... so, gee that sounds like a good game I can't wait to play it.

This game makes me want to get a PS3. It really does.

Also, the whole protest against the princess being fat thing is ridiculous. First there's constant complaining about how video game girls always look perfect, and now there's an overweight princess and it's also a bad thing?

It's like complaining about the lack of race in Resident Evil, only to complain about the added races in RE5. Oh wait, that actually happened.

I see nothing wrong with Fat Princess. "OOOHHH, she's fat and the point of the game is to fill her face with cakes and things! It's such a horrible message!"

People like that can do much better things with their open mouths, like opening wide and......filling it with cake. Because cake is delicious.

Yes, cake is delicious. Also, the cake is a- NO! Mustn't say it!!

OT: I'd been hearing a lot about this game and I think I might buy it tonight just for the hell of it (although I've been keeping myself busy with Dissidia: Final Fantasy)

I'd heard of it, but I'm too cheap/broke to own a PS3.

Plus, she can tell people to Die for Her.
