The "that's complete BS" thread

i don't think shooting aliens with alot of gore is lmore mature than playing a game with cartoon graphics that have a great story, ( i was refering halo and zelda :ww , btw)
not that i dislike halo , its really good , but now, its true every kids that whant to be mature play gta or things like that because they think blood =maturity . and thats how kids think now, they whant to prove something.
i know someone ( a friend of my little brother) who think that gta was THE best game EVER.
yeah , gta isn't bad....but he isn't in my top 75. this kid was fully ps2 axed . he never played , other platorm than ps2, he don't know zelda (!!) , he never played a nintendo system , and don't even know sega.

but he think that because the game have alot of violence in it, its cool ,and mature , but kid think that they are mature at 6 years old.

they research ''maturity'' (well, they dont know what this word mean) when something have violence in it , they whant to play it(its stupid like that).
why ? because they aren't supose to play games that are for teens or adults (they whant to be ''older'') , they research the ''mature'' note on games because they whant to be better than the other kids they don't whant to be '' ''bebe lala'' ''
(sorry, its an exprension in french that kids say when they whant to say : baby).
and that explain why kid are more and more violent too . now kids don't whant for christmas gc , they whant xbox or ps2 , because the most violent games are here. (i don't really know how to explain it , sorry..)

bullshit (and stupid too. )


btw: why don't make this topic sticky? its really cool ! :smt043 ( :smt076 )

 

Nintendo's in house people are by far the best game desginers in the world. Every title pushes the envelope a little bit further. Definitely a company that isn't afraid of innovation, even when it doesn't pan out (ala Virtua Boy.)

Here's some BS to me: People who use cheats, trainers, etc. when you play on-line. I used to be a very avid Yuir's Revenge addict, but I stopped becasue every single person cheats thier ass off. And they always quit right before you beat them (disconnect) as to keep thier ranking. It sucks now.

 

Amen --- PSO (DC and GC) was ruined by cheaters. Just a damn shame. I also agree that Nintendo's inhouse developers are fantastic when they want to be. The level of polish on Mario Sunshine and Zelda: WW were, I thought, fantastic.

And for what it's worth, the problem w/ my Supergun that started this thread -- it in fact is the cable that's bad -- the cheapest way out!

 

You want to know some major BS, people talking shit about Nintendo, or any other company. We don't need fanboys, so STOP IT!

 

One of my favorite threads at Gamefaqs, by a user named SquareEnix:

"What happened to Sega? They had a system that was popular like 3 years ago, but what happened? I haven't seen them lately."

What a fuckin' geek.

 

Ok...

How does disliking some companies and liking other ones more make you a fanboy? A fanboy is someone who believes a company can do no wrong despite their obvious mistakes.

It's perfectly fair to talk shit about companies like Sony because they don't deliver on their promises and make unreliable hardware. It's also fair to bash companies like Microsoft for enslaving PC gamers for the last decade or so. It's even fair to blame Nintendo for the lack of online titles (if that's what your into), forcing gamers to use a GBA during multiplayer games such Final Fantasy: CC or even the lack of multimedia features on the Gamecube.

 

BS 4:

Read Alien Workshop's post.

 

BS5:


Gamefaqs is the place to go for good gaming chat.... BULLSHEIZA!!!

 

Hmm, where else but gamefaqs? I agree their forums are shite, but they are indeed the best place I've found to easily get FAQs.

And I think a lot of the "Nintendo-is-kiddie" stems from the N64/PSX era, when Sony and Sega were experimenting with different content and Nintendo was steadfastly holding to the usual colorful mascots and such (up to a point). It's a bit like the classic, "Sega does what Ninten-don't." This reputation seemed to follow Nintendo to their next console as well, hence the "Gamecube is kiddie" arguments. Now nobody bite me, N64 is one of my favorite consoles and I'm finding more and more reasons to love the Gamecube, but this is just what I see as being the cause of Nintendo's image.

That and releasing their console in purple as the primary color... :smt017

 

System-specific boards (especially new boards) at Gamefaqs have a lot of punks. Game-specific boards (especially import RPGs) have much, much fewer idiots. Yeah, it's like a bad cocaine habit, I know.

 

Me, letting you know how I feel about what you say.

BS: madhatter256's post

 

Come on now madhatter256 and Alien Workshop. Play nicely. This isn't Game faqs forum, ok?

Yakumo

 

You are right Yakumo, sorry about that.

Any way, I got some BS

BS 1: XBOX controllers costing $30-$40 depending on where you go. That is way too much, you could by a game for that much.

BS 2: 3rd party controllers, they may be cheaper, but they break after like an hour of use.

 

Following from Alien Workshop -

N64 Controllers - The analogue stick in these controllers are so flimsy. My own controllers are still okay...but all my friends controllers broke after under a year of normal use.

 

Playstation D-pad

As much as I like the layout of the PS controller (since it resembles the SNES), I hate the flipping d-pad :smt076 , because it's missing the center portion! Pain in the ass when you are trying to pull off moves in fighting games. The analogue sticks are ok but there wear out really fast...

 

:smt043
silver is the best color for a game cube , imo. i always like to have the primary color of a console , but if a buy a game cube (and ill do it , because of all that good games and the new zelda! ) i'll take it silver. btw , wasn't the silver console , a limited edition one , at the start? :smt017

yeah , i love that controller but , that damn joystick is really too easy to break. someone have a trick to repair them ?
my friend tried to scotch the cheap plastic , its seemed to work but after a time the scotch flew away... :smt022 (and its wasn't too estetic. :smt043 )

no miracle solutions ?
anyone?

 

I apologize too.

 

Yeah, the silver Gamecube is my favorite... aside from the Tales Of Symphonia one, but what are my odds of getting that??

Here's my bit of BS - XBox controllers. Even the controller-S, I hate the size, thickness, and button layout. It's like trying to control a game with a 32X as your gamepad, and what is up with those stupid and unreachable black and white buttons??

I do however like the quality of their analog sticks.

Oh, and BS #2 - Dreamcast D-pad. It's not QUITE as awful as the Gamecube's, but it's utter ass for all the fighters that don't use the analog stick. And even that sucks with fighters. Dreamcast fighters weren't meant for ol' HKT-7700, as much as I like them otherwise.

 

Fighters and the DC controller don't mix. 3 words for you, one used twice.

ASCII Pad
ASCII Stick

Done

 

My only Xbox controller's breakaway cable was destroyed (may as well have been, 2 of the 3 prong things were bent). I couldn't use the controller AT ALL. Adding to this, since I have no money and no job, I couldn't buy a new one. Do you know what I did? Cut the two ends of the cable (beginning/end of breakaway), and "spliced" (not sure if this is the right word) the wires together. It was pure hell and my controller cable looks awful now, but it works :smt027 .
