Black & White DS ?

Bluemercury's implication that nobody complained about these visuals during PSX and N64 era was stupid, and the reasons had to be explained why. Surely you're not slow

I can see I'll have a good time in this thread, I've met people like you before Amir0x, you treat a discussion as if its a competition. Twisting your argument and insulting people for no reason. You were the one who claimed someone else brought up PSP, they didn't, you did and I was only reminding you of that.

Donnie, we have NO OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT B&W DS IN THIS THREAD. Do you fucking understand this? Are you grasping what the fuck I am saying? This is a screenshot thread. We discuss how the screens look. Get-the-fuck-over-it.

It doesn't matter if there was no official info posting in the thread. As soon as we see screen shots then we know the game is officially coming to DS. Which should lead to discussions on the game itself, including but not limited to its graphics. There is plenty to talk about, just because some screenshots are posted in a thread that does not limited the thread to a graphics pissing match. Now calm yourself down and stop acting like a spoilt brat.

It's a competition in so much as it's painful to have to keep explaining the same shit over and over to people who clearly fail to grasp even the most basic of things.

Donnie. I'm going to explain this really really simply.

This thread was made. It contained only screenshots, and the fact that B&W was coming for DS. That's all. So, with THIS info the primary thing to discuss is the screenshots. We have absolutely ZERO meaningful info on the "game itself", except how it looks. Do you understand this? Therefore, we discuss how it looks. There are not plenty of things to talk about since we know SHIT about what the game will offer except that B&W PC sucked ass.

Ok, English?
 
I could not see myself playing this game for an extended period of time given my past experience with Black and White. Basically, this is like Tomagotchi where your pet can kill people. I'm glad that the DS is getting the title as it needs the support, but open-ended sims like gameplay, ie. boring, is not something I'm looking for on my handheld. BUT, if say you could play games wirelessly on maps with friends... That may change my mind.

I understand what your saying perfectly, despite the unnecessary abuse. I just don't agree with you..

Once again, there is a lot more then just "those graphics are shit" or "those graphics are great" to talk about. A thread is not some linear thing that is defined by the exact content of its initial post.

Now as I said, calm down, you sound like a bloody lunatic and frankly your patronising attitude is not only uneccesary but its also ironic.

Hey, I respect that you don't agree with me, but you're not doing a good job presenting your alternative point.

Donnie, your first point is correct. It's not a linear thing. If we received new B&W info in this thread to discuss about, I'm all ears for that. Otherwise, the only solid info we have is the screens and that it's coming out. Tell me, what are the endless conversations that can be derived from these two crucial facts?

"Oh, hey, it's coming out."
"Yeah, neat..."
"Are you looking forward to it?"
"Nah, B&W PC sucked..."
*rubs foot in sand*
"So...uh...hey, it should control good, right?"
"Yeah...you know...if they do it right, NDS is good for this."
"True...True...we don't know if they will do it right, it's just speculation."
"Right."
"So what do we know?"
"Well, we know it's ugly."
*looks down*
"And...it's coming out?"
"Yup."
"You lookin' forward to it?"
"Nah..."

You see, at least my patronizing attitude has a foot in reality. Because you just don't understand anything anyone is putting forth, or you simply refuse to understand.

Then instead of arguing with those people that think the screenshots of the game look like shit and their opinions with silly excuses and arguments like "well its based on old hardware so you can't say that" or "graphics don't matter so you can't say anything negative about graphics, only talk positive" try to talk about something else if you feel that way. Every game for every system does not have to be freaking perfect and it's just insane to think everything has to be positive and taboo about the DS which is what i'm getting from you people that just won't let it go that others don't like the looks of the game.

To be fair, though, it takes two to tango - I should just ignore people who come with their conspiracy theories, and being inflammatory doesn't help.

That said, I agree with your assertion. If they really have an alternate topic that they can derive about B&W DS based on the factual information we have about the title I'm all ears. That's the big problem.
 
If it has the type of scope the PC version did, as far as level sizes and AI, then that's not a bad looking game for the DS.

Of course, they'd still have to fix all the stuff that was wrong with the original game. So I'll just add another post to the most pointless thread on the first page.

I'm not going to keep arguing the same very basic point with you over and over. So I'm going to say this once more for you then I'm going to stop wasting my life in this thread.

If someone posts a screen shot of a new game that does not mean that graphics are the one allowed topic of discussion. How about just discussing wether you liked the original? What are the possibilities in a DS version? Are you excited by a DS version or not, is the word speculation not in your vocabularly? Yes talk about graphics obviously, but despite what you say there is plenty more to talk about. I'm not even talking specifically about you either and I never was. There are too many people around here who just post things like "Eww looks crap" or "That looks like a joke".. I mean honestly, I pitty people who are so caught up in graphics they can't even think of anything else to say.

There now everyone can talk about something other then graphics. Pitty that I won't be hear to join in...

So, I was correct... you're asserting we should just speculate a lot instead of discussing what we do actually know. And btw, we DID discuss whether I liked the original :P

I mean, we had screenshots. We commented. This whole thing spawned from those original comments. Seems to me nobody really wanted to discuss those other things, they simply wanted to focus on the fact that someone made a negative comment about the only real facts we had in this thread.

But no, I can think of plenty of other things to say. Point is, it's unfounded speculation. I already said early on I felt NDS control scheme would be ideal. The only thing we had to discuss based on actual info was the screenshots, and that's what I did. No foul, no harm. You don't have to participate.

Pity indeed.

I'm still holding out for Mario Paint DS....le sigh.

Seriously, this is THE most obvious thing I could think of for DS. It just makes sense. I bet they will revive it in some capacity for NDS.
 
Even better I thought it would be cool if they combined it with Picture Pages, if anyone remembers that old show with Bill Cosby. It could come with a pen like the one cosby used except its a stylus. And when you drew or painted it made the same sounds.

A new DS game? Hmm well then, let the fanboys fight!

A new DS and PSP game! But it's based on Black & White! Do you not see the problem here?

And PSP? The streets shall run red with fanboy blood.

But yeah, Black and White needs a huge overall if it's going to be good.
