Entertainment / Re: I have waited long enough for Nintendo to do this...
« on: December 27, 2008, 06:02:36 pm »I don't remeber if it was online or a regular petition, but if memory is correct, Chrono Cross was released to the US due to a petition...back in the day.Show me cases where doing an online petition actually gets something accomplished, with regards to a developer and/or publisher doing something like this.Petitions are a little... lame, actually...
They don't get anything done, and they can't actually *force* the company to develop what you want them to develop.
I'd personally rather see Nintendo do it because they want to do it, not because they're forced to.
Petitions tell companies that they have loyal consumers who are genuinely interested in enough in a product to petition about it. If a company doesn't respond to consumer interest, then they have no excuse if that dies out. And if consumers don't tell companies what they want, they have no reason to !@#$% about not getting it.
I could have remembered wrong though.
Not to mention that various regional releases of games like Super Smash Bros. and Animal Crossing were due to petitions and fan demand.

« on: December 25, 2008, 11:46:31 am »It's a pilot episode, I'm sure it would get better with sponsorship money.
The problem is, the production values themselves are already pretty good. But the humour and acting - parts that won't improve given more money - are dreadful.

UNGH. BORING.
YAHTZEE. WHY THE !@#$% ARE YOU SO BORING.
WHY ARE YOU HANGING OUT WITH BORING AUSSIES.
TALKING IN A BORING WAY. ABOUT BORING VIDEO GAMES.
Nice idea, but seriously flawed for the fact that no-one in it really seems to give a rat's ass.

PFFFFFT. TS2 ftw.
To be fair though, they only made a couple of good games and none of them recently. And they totally sold out and went way too mainstream, which just sucks ass really.
Still, sad to see one of the best English game developers in recent years go bust. (I say English because I found out today that Rockstar North is technically British. Wow.)

Fixed. Seriously. There are about 3 active projects currently, and about a hundred active discussions.
Try four. Or five.
But yeah, mostly inane conversation. I'm involved in one of those five projects (<__<) but more involved in natter than work.

Oh yeah, I guess I better do some writing for that.

Learn how to line up your backward walks quickly. Saves time rather than lining them up or readjusting them part-way through.
This is gonna seem obvious, but make sure you know boss routines thoroughly. I can't believe how many people think you actually have to cycle through one of Gohma's egg drops when you can just shoot her down straight away.
And yeah, since it's only for the first three dungeons, don't even think about anything like getting the Hylian shield or heart pieces or blah.
Hmm. What else? Can't remember, it's been a while since I tried to speedrun OoT.

Mortal Kombat's all !@#$% anyway. And I didn't say "if they do that then INSTANT GOLD", did I? It's just a prerequisite.
Hey, guess what? This is a modern update of a 24 year old manga series, and I struggle to see how that is, in itself, a bad thing. We'll have to wait and see for the movie itself as to whether or not it's good as a whole, but whatever.
It's not a modern update. It's an attempt to make money off fanboys.
No, the attempts to make money off fanboys were the dozens of video games, shitty animated movies, oh, and yeah, Dragonball GT. Did you forget about those?

You just have terrible taste in things.
So Dragonball is defined by Bulma's blue hair and Roshi's baldness and beard? Wtf?
It's defined by the fact that it's a modern update of Journey to the West. Do you want me to rip apart Dragonball for the liberties it takes with that classic?

« on: December 10, 2008, 09:43:43 pm »Goku has Japanese traits, not America traits.
Goku always looked white to me in the anime.
Bulma's hair is blue, not brown with a streak of blue.
Blue hair doesn't exist in the real world.
Roshi is bald and has a beard, he doesn't have grey hair and is clean shaven.
You should've pointed out that Roshi looks white as !@#$% in the anime instead of this. Boo-frikkity-hoo, his hairstyle's wrong. That makes it a bad movie by default, huh.
etc etc.
They need to do some research. Chow claims to be a Dragonball fan, but I doubt it.
nb4 BAW YOU EXPECT TOO MUCH.
I don't expect much, but I expect them to do things right.
