What exactly is so bad about Itadaki Street selling well?

nothing besides the fact that it is derivative; and made only to sell. And it has ugly superdeformed ff characters. Plus it will never see stateside release.

(jeez.. didn't take long to belong un-juniored did I.. cough cough Amirox.. member status wank wank)

You've played it?

And if it already sucks in your mind why do you sound bitter it'll never make it out of Japan?

sorry for the hating but I balked when I saw the screens - oh well, all the more power to the japanese gamers if they buy a game solely on the back of mascot characters - how did this game review?

thanks u_neek :)
 
Well Itadaki Street isn't a new series, the series has been around since the NES days. So it has a long line of fans.

As for its Famitsu score, it got a 32.

Famitsu:

"When I saw this game I said 'OH!' It is FF and DQ characters together in one game!!! How can this be? There are many surprises! It's fun to roll the dice! 9/10"

I've played it, the DQ and FF themes are what make the game fun. The different stages, such as the FFVII board are all done nicely with the music and everything. Really made me want to play through FFVII again hehe.

It's obvious from the get go this is going to sell to fans of those two series, but after playing it I can say the game itself isn't just an effort to milk the characters. It's a pretty decent take on a Monopoly type game made more fun by that stuff.

Maybe in the future you won't post dumb things like you did in the RE4 thread so your status doesn't get wanked in front of you. Congrats on the upgrade :)

Well, at least now you won't be immediately associated with junior members who have made some awful threads these past few weeks. But, hey, you can always just end up as a stupid regular member if you'd like - join the ranks of seismologist or something :D I'll still call you out if you say something dumb again, though. And I'll say it in the same "psuedo-argumentative" fashion too!

Righteous. At least you were taught the spirit of Christmas with FFXII wallpapers and what the definition of "baseless" really is!`
 
Stop derailing the thread you fucking post count whores. This is becoming absolutely ridiculous.

Note that the last time I mentioned it, mere days ago, Amir0x had 500 fewer posts than he does today. When it gets to this point it should really become a bannable offense.

I'm sorry, a post count whore is someone who posts simply for the sake of posting. I think all my many, many debates and long essays prove the opposite for me. Whether you agree with me or disagree with me, the reason I am able to post so much is because I type fast and spend a lot of time on this forum during my "internet" section of my daily activities.

I have 5000 posts at another forum too. I post when I am interested in something and there is no shame in it. It seems to me you're just irritated because you don't like what I have to say. No problem with me, but if you have an issue with that just PM me and we'll discuss it.

I missed this. Got a chuckle out of me :lol Is that what the famitsu reviewer wrote? How absurdistly funny. Are there mini games or is it just a standard board game?

Merry Xmas. yo.

formally requesting Kessen 3 impressions.


It became dynasty warriors meets kessen.

Instead of just watching battles after the strategy part, you actually play them. you control a squad and run the mission. they also give you special skills like "general attacK?" which is basically control the general and dynasty warriors it up. There are defensive and offensive special skills and all that. I only watched my girlfriend play it last night so i dont know much else (i suck at reading teh kanji). But yeah, it looks really fun.

They can stick fuckin' YUNA in the game TWICE but no TORNEKO??? BLASPHEMY

The nameless schmuck from DQ7 is there if that makes you feel better. (It won't.)
But where is his lizard?
And why does he have a lizard in the manual and such?
 
The character design of DQ is way better than the Final Fantasy games, remember how horrible are the Tidus and Cloud desings

Oh good,
I'm glad there FFIX and FFXI unlockables though I don't really like the choices. Mithra or a Gobbie > Mandragora, and Kuja >>>>>>>>> Eiko.
But I definitely feel the pain for the rest of you guys with this huge lacking of pre-PSX FF stuff. Perhaps people will actually buy the remakes and make Square remember that people like them. :/
