Didn't Yahtzee use this line (or a variation of it) in his Far Cry 2 review?Enlong said:Wait, so if variety is the spice of [games], and repetition is the starch, then that means, as per a previous metaphor, it's not good to have an excessive amount of variety, as that's like eating spoonfuls of the spice straight from the jar.
It seems like the cool thing to do to hate whatever Yahtzee hates around the Escapist. That really bugs me, especially against things like Mario.Towowo2 said:I just assumed people did it because it was the cool thing to do nowadays.Roflcopter419 said:That was amusing, but it bugs me that everyone here seems to comment on how much they hate Mario just because he does.
Nintendo is good at two things, Making oodles of money and making games that are fun to play. Mario is timeless.
Actually it was the Little Big Planet review. He referred to usermade content as cinnamon; a light dusting of the stuff can make an already great game even better, but relying on it is like eating the stuff straight from the jar.J-Alfred said:Didn't Yahtzee use this line (or a variation of it) in his Far Cry 2 review?Enlong said:Wait, so if variety is the spice of [games], and repetition is the starch, then that means, as per a previous metaphor, it's not good to have an excessive amount of variety, as that's like eating spoonfuls of the spice straight from the jar.
In this case 'cake' isn't a lie, it's a euphemismArmanox15 said:I have to say 2 things:

#2 - I really want some "cake" on my next birthday!
I figured that cloud example was intentional. Y'know, for speed runners and the like.Ossian said:He sounded genuinely angry this time and he had every right to be, I played this game and found myself seriously getting upset with the retard friendly game play, I mean people tell me I shouldn't complain because even kids need to play games but COME ON PEOPLE!
I played Mario for the NES and Super Nintendo for hours on end as a child and I go back to them today and I can still say, they were challenging, well paced, and FUN.
I'm not lying when I say that at one point I got the cloud power up and laughed at the screen at how I didn't even need it, I proceeded to cartwheel jump and wall kick than spin move past chunks of the levels. This isn't skill, IT IS POOR LEVEL DESIGN. Dear lord I might have an stroke just thinking about it; at least than the game would be more along my skill level.
/end Yahtzee like rant.
