Eh. I believe!

I think they were being fair there. Sometimes I think Nintendo games get a free pass though, just because their Nintendo.

Someone finally had the balls to say it!

 

[Unison]

If the game is as horrible as I'm being led to believe, an 8.4 for it IS a free pass...

We're too busy playing Half Life 2 and Halo 2.

But the usual bunch of idiots wouldn't be playing those games, so they should have plenty of time to complain about this low score. I mean the best game of last generation, now just a very good game due to shitty controls. Do we need anymore proof this hardware is terrible?

We're too busy playing Halo 2 and waiting for Half Life 2 to load every 36 steps.

At least I was.

My only problem with the DS has been its failure to include an analog stick ala PSP. I said the touch screen would not be enough to compensate, and so far at least in Mario 64 I was right. It needs analog, and I guess that's the only thing I'm disappointed in Nintendo about. It's not surprising.

Judgement passed on a game based solely on a single review instead of personal experience or time with said game. Check.

Obligatory trolls on a Nintendo product. Check.

Compulsory advise to sell off involved hardware. Check.

All is well at GAF.

 

[krypt0nian]

We're so close to launch its all like tears in the rain.

HYPE is in FULL EFFECT!

 

[impirius]

Don't worry guys, I own the game (2 copies) and gave it a 9.8 in the other thread, so everything's cool!

We're too busy playing Nintendo DS and Metroid Prime 2.

Yep.

We have to pay tolls on Nintendo products? Crap, where do I go to pay it! I need to get it done before I pick up my DS tommorrow!

Holding out for the Sprung review?

You forgot "bizarre interpretation of a review that labels a game 'great' as, somehow, being a condemnation of said game." (Check.)

yea that's really the best thing about gaf. it would be awesome if people start to review games as harshly as other media.

 

[Kseutron]

actually, i can't think of a psp launch game that might score higher than this

Lumines or Mercury have a chance. If Metal Gear Acid was considered a launch game, it always has a chance. It is Metal Gear after all. The media darling.

But yeah, I don't see any PSP game scoring higher than a 8.5.

Actually, looking back, I under-hyped it... it's really a 9.9! I mean, you really should see this packaging dude, it'll make a believer out of you! BOTY

Its certainly at a disadvantage as far as platformers that were created around true analogue control go. But im not gonna decide the worth of the entire system on 1 single port and genre.

We know it works well with P&C adventures. Puzzle games. RTS. 2.5D platformers. Even FPS. In fact all PC games that use M&K can be replicated better on DS than they can on a home console with an analogue controller.
