i'm not sure how either of those posts constitutes a response to my last post. and i don't know how sales figures would be relevant. and i'm mildly hurt by the accusation that i'm "psychobabbling," when i thought i was deflating some especially gorgeous psychobabble. i'm going to bed.

Well, excuse my improper use of the term. Perhaps when people pick up the Nintendogs boxes, the processes occurring in their brains will indeed be on the conscious level, which I'm sure just totally dismantles my argument.drohne said:
Meanwhile, there's your version of events, which loosely plays out as "Nintendo are stupid, or maybe they're actually evil geniuses preying on the stupid people who buy their products, but in any case somebody is stupid."
Talk to me about marketing. You couldn't sell snowcones in the desert. Or maybe you could, but as you were putting the cherry syrup on top you'd probably be rolling your eyes and calling the customer a dipshit.

Actually, Hitler loved dogs. He would often show his secretary the new tricks he taught his dog, even during the height of the second world war. Similarly, people close to Hitler said the peace he found while playing with dogs was matched by very little else in the world to him; he would often brag to his guests about his dog.

Nintendo will come out on top next gen, starting now by selling this stuff to women, and boys that are really women. Then in 20 years everyone will start saying "I don't want nintendo, it's girly. But by then Nintendo will have 15.2 billion dollars in the bank from successfully growing the market by almost double.

Well at least it'd shut you up. Can't you let anything go?
There are just some games that aren't meant for you. World of Warcraft is meant for people with decent PCs and internet conenctions. Turok Rage Wars is meant for people with 4 controllers and 3 friends to play with. Nintendogs is meant for people who have friends who will get the game and like to trade.
And at least Nintendogs is only meant ideally for those people. You still get a game you can happily play without trading.

Gushing and Criticism each have its own place. As a consumer, I'm not happy with this direction. Granted, I'm not the audience since I don't take glorified virtual pets very seriously. But if I was interested, this concept would make me not interested once more. So I think it's fair that - as a consumer - I express my dislike of this just as someone would express their likes about it. Each have a fair balance allowed, no?

There's no problem with criticism. I don't care if you criticise this, as you can see I've argued both negatives and positives of it. It's the arguments you have all over the forum. It's the thing I know you for, that you will argue point by point and not give up your argument no matter how stupid and minutiae the details have got.
Everyone does it every so often, I certainly have, but it just seems so frequent with you. If that's who you are, I guess that's that, but I think it's a shame that more people can't step back, look at what's happening, and say: "This has become stupid and we're just arguing the same points over and over again, I'm not going to carry on" more often.
Mama Smurf said:
I'm argumentative and I like to debate. That's why I come on internet videogame forums, because I don't have many friends in real life who are that interested in the game scene. It satisifes one of my more darker needs. Well, besides porn.
Mama Smurf said:
Oh, I have done that before. Eventually you get to a point where you have to give it up. But it's always objective about how "minutiae" the details have become. If I feel I am right, the details are still pretty big in my mind. But, IIRC, I recently did this "We're arguing the same points over and over thing so I can't carry on" in the Xbox 2 discussion thread

People, avoid looking at him. Don't look him in the eyes. Oh no, the point by point response... NO, he's doing it again!

Well that's good, I tend to phase out when your posts get too long, and I suspect a lot of people on the forum other than the person you're responding to stop reading what you're saying when it gets like that, so I'm not entirely sure how they end, but god they seem to go on a long time.
Anyway, we've both had our say, so I guess this is one of those times where there's no need to go on.
Back to the Nintendogs bashing/loving!

I agree. I have one friend who is interested in games and we talk about it, but he hates handhelds.
That said, unfortunately most of my past wasn't focused on discussing games on the internet... and my friends are well... druggies. And I can't really do anything to change that now, they're my friends

In the past I've had plenty of gamer friends who categorically refuse to look at handhelds. It's not uncommon.
Also, I tend not to use "can I trade virtual puppies with him?" as the basis for forming friendships.

The last time I went to Japan I stumbled on wierd Japanese dog subculture in Mitaka.
The place was half coffee shop, half pet store, but the clientelle all had the same type of dog, a little yippy breed I can't ID.
The customers were all women around the same age (in their 20s). They dressed their dogs in designer outfits.
The place had a playroom where all the women took their dogs to play with each other.
It was a pretty surreal scene, because in your average American town, this would have been a McDonalds PlayPlace and all the dogs would have been screaming brats.
I can see girls in Japan -- especially those not rich enough for a fairly expensive dog "lifestyle" going gaga for this game.

Strange, I have friends who can't be bothered with consoles, but are quite willing to get a handheld. It's the ease of use I guess, plus it's cheaper.
Oh, and Tetris. No one can resist Tetris.

Once, I was in Roppongi at a club mackin' on this hot Japanese girl and she was like, 'Wait,' and I was like, 'What?' and she was like, 'Pochi needs food,' and she took a Tamagotchi out of her Louis Vuitton purse and pushed a few buttons. Then she smiled at me and we went to a love hotel and I totally did her...up the butt.
In conclusion, Nintendogs will sell 750,000 copies.

Even better, I hear you charge way less than 5040 yen (tax in).
I just had a "discussion" yesterday with fellow Nintendo fans about how Nintendo should make some new mature/cooler series and invest into more realistic Zelda and Fire Emblem games.......Another Code is a good start.........but
this is what I get! Seems like they'll never change. They better hope their stuff really sell to the "new" audience. Which I doubt.
Because it's cheaper to buy a real dog and pet it yourself than to buy a DS and 3 versions of the same game! Just think about it! Pokemon and Tamagotchi sells because they aren't real and you can't buy one for real. Normal dogs though, you can get one for cheap. Free even if your neighbor or friends give you one after their dog just gives birth to too many puppies. I know many did. Make no sense to pet a real thing in digital form.
Don't want to say too much but bah!

Am I the only one that thinks Nintendo should leave the japanese title of this game for the world too? It looks great on those covers.
Also, since we're a bunch of pooch lovers I think you guys will appreciate this site. Oli, don't get too excited.
