Opened it. Entered my VIP no. and about to play. Anything i should know before playing? :D

Oh i could host the VIP wallpapers? if the US doesnt have them. :)

I havent played Mario and Luigi yet. But thats on GBA anyway.
 
No, just no. Pikmin 2 was, in many ways, better than the first, but some of it was just too damned tedious for me to enjoy as much as I could have. I actually miss the time limit...as much as I kinda didn't like it in the first. IMO, of course.

Heh heh, that's kinda funny, because I thought Paper Mario was too damned tedious. Especially at the end of the game. The writing was great in both games though. I think I liked the whole atmosphere and imagination that Pikmin 2 had better.
 
Yeah, Pikmin 2, like the first, looks fucking great...incredible, even. I'd like to see a new Sim Ant with those near-photorealistic visuals...damn, I loved that game...Sim Ant, that is.

Those Sarlacc Pit things or whatever the hell they were scared the hell out of me when I was 9. All of a sudden the animation pops up on the screen.

Your GC will explode at the title screen. Seriously, what's the point of that? If someone told you it was a bad game would you not play it?

Hmmm...I still don't understand what that boss creature is at the submerged castle. Okay...I'm done derailing this thing.

Er, you know I was talking about Sim Ant and not Pikmin 2, right?

I played the first hour or so of this game at a friend's place. Struck me as really talky and boring at the beginning... I'm assuming it gets a lot better? Seemed like way too much mandatory hand-holding and training at the outset.

Host the wallpapers. I can't afford Paper Mario yet, in dire need of DS monies.

Yeah get ready to walk back and forth alot. To go fetch item A to get to person B and person B tells you to find item C to take to Person D who gives you item E to give to person B who has been without it for a long time and really misses it. Person B is really happy to have item E back and now wants to fight whatever you are fighting.
Get ready for that.

Paper Mario 2 is all about the combat system. I think you will love or hate the game based upon how much you enjoy the combat.

So far so good :D

Enjoying it. Battle system is fine so far. Works very well. They used some slight British slang in there :lol
