I figured that cloud example was intentional. Y'know, for speed runners and the like.Ossian said:
In honesty, I do find SMG2 disappointing, but not because of a lack of challenge or gameplay issues. My first thought was that this just feels like an expansion pack (kinda funny seeing Yahtzee say the same thing), and I expect a little more innovation from Nintendo.
I nearly died laughing from watching all the "sniffff" sections whenever he referenced sex. Why going "sniffff" is funny when you think about it from a sexual standpoint, I'll never know.
That being said, is there anyone in the universe who thought "Galaxy 2" was a good idea? Frankly, I wasn't even sold on "Galaxy 1" when it came out. (Maybe I grew out of my Nintendo phase and didn't want to deal with another Mario game despite liking and playing Sunshine a lot.) I played a demo of this at Gamestop one day and kept making fun of how it's the exact same game as "Galaxy 1" and kept waiting for the star guys to say "It's happening again!" Granted, Bowser is about 50 times huger than he was in Galaxy 1 but that's it. (I'm not really liked by the Gamestop guys after that, but I got them off my back by pre-ordering Cataclysm.)
So really Nintendo, yes we're all excited about Zelda Skyward Sword and Goldeneye and Kid Icarus and Metriod other M... But this is bad. Really bad.

Ya know, after all this time, I wonder how hard it is to get a job working at Nintendo... It isn't exactly like you need to innovate or come up with anything. Hell, I think I could butcher ideas together in the writing department then pass the cocaine bucket without being greedy.
I believe Yathzee has just created a new "cake" meme... and that after saying that the cake meme ruined portal for him...
I knew he'd bring up the fact the game comes with about 3 different manuals on how to play the game which personally got right on my tits as well. Also the fact that sometimes main characters will say 'oh look, you died quite a few times that level, maybe you should get a friend to help you out' or 'how about take a break' pissed me right off. It felt extremely patronising.
If Nintendo decided to remove this game from the shelves tomorrow nobody would care.Queen Michael said:
Honestly if you think Nintendo never innovated then you have some facts to look up. I'll probably be deemed a fanboy for saying this but, who popularized analog control?DeathWyrmNexus said:
Just because they've been using the same franchises for a long time doesn't mean they aren't trying.
Couldn't have missed the point harder.
Yes the plot is stupid, but if that's what you're looking for you might want to check where you've been since 1996.
It's just fun, funner than any other game this year in my opinion, and I don't see any reason why the concept of repetition to get in the way of that.
[small]Also, wasn't even as funny this time.
