WayForward takes two steps backward with EGM's LOWEST SCORE EVER! THE HUMANITY!

FROM SHANTAE TO SHITTAE

Ping Pals (NDS): 1.5, 0, 0

Kevin Gifford: "The DS just launched in November, and yet someone's already produced The Worst DS Game Ever Made."
Bryan Intihar: "Apparently, the developers never got the memo about Pictochat coming preinstalled on every DS."
Shane Bettenhausen: "Customizing the hideous, Bratz-style character avatars feels pointless, and the multiplayer 'games' could easily be duplicated by creative Pictochatters."

A combined score of 1.5 ties Ping Pals with Bedrock Bowling for PSone as the lowest scoring game in EGM's history!


RANDOM BONUS SCORE

Blinx 2: 7.5, 6.0, 6.5

The 7.5 is from Kevin "Closet Furry" Gifford. Kevin ... WHA HAPPEN'D?


BONUS FACTOID

There's a four point spread between Ridge Racer DS's highest and lowest score! Did somebody not get their money hat?!
 
:lol Didn't Mortal Kombat Advance for the GBA get one of the worst scores up there with Ping Pals (NDS)?
 
Oh snap! :P

Well, there goes any and all temptation to purchase a NintenD00DS. I do hope Wayforward has the good business sense to keep Shantae Advanced / 2, or whatever the hell it's called this week, on the GBA.

I am kind of tempted to check out that Spongebob Movie GBA game they worked on, any word on how that one turned out?

Yeah, outside of Shantae and Xtreme Sports; I think I'm a failure as a Wayforward fanboy. Too much licensed stuff I'm askeered to look into. . Wendy the Witch?! :/

God damn it. Can't some rich fucker just give Matt Bozon a money hat so he can self publish the damn game (Shantae 2) on the GBA already?
 
Mr. Gifford is one of those rare journos that's not a twit or anime dweeb.

His reviews can be trusted like Andy Rooney

Atari may have paid for his college tuition, but WayForward bought him a Subway sandwich! (just the sandwich, not a set or anything)
Does this mean that Microsoft bought him a vacuum cleaner?
 
Subway?!

God damn, if they'd stop wasting their money on overpriced crappy sammiches you can just make at home, maybe I'd get the sequel I so desire. Damn you Jared! >:|
 
Another crap review from a bunch of morons! They say they HATE the "Bratz" style characters and such but did they ever think that this software is aimed at young girls??? So what if it brings another type of chat program to the DS, it does have some added functionality that picochat doesn't have.

It really isnt a game, so it shouldn't be held to the same grading criteria, it is a piece of software. I can't wait to see how they rate a browser for it someday, "The controls are almost non existant, all you can do is go up and down..."

Now if this sells at the same price as a standard DS game then that is another story all together.
 
I thought that the lowest score EGM ever gave a game was Mortal Kombat Advance, with two people giving it 0.0? :)

There you have it, HATERZ BE GONE!!!

The third score was a 3.0, so Ping Pals (and Bedrock Bowling) are still lower.

Ping Pals got two 0.0s as well, if you didn't notice. ;P

EDIT: I think it was actually 0.0, 0.5, 2.0 ...
but until someone finds the EGM, we won't know for sure.
 
Apparently Subway does toasted subs now.

I can do that too!

It's called - Same ingredients as Subway + Toaster Oven. :P

Fuck Subway!

Fuck Quiznos!

Fuck any place charging me $6 to put lunch meat on fuckin' bread. Jesus christ. If you're going to do that, make it midgets with a trapeze act and lions! I'll take some blood on my sandwich if it means my $6 also covered the cost of high risk entertainment.

MKA is tied with the Guy Game at 0.83, both of which average lower than Ping Pals. Please people, don't make stuff up. :)

Wow, so MK Advance got 0.0, 0.0, 0.83? Who knew that EGM gave out decimals!

That "combined" score is the average of 0.0, 0.0, 2.5. By the same math, Ping Pals has a "combined" .5 from 0.0, 0.0, 1.5.

ALGEBRA, MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?

I misspoke, but my point about the 3 stands. You said it got a 3. I'm bad at math. We both lose.
 
Doesn't ping pals support more users than pictochat? That technical achievement is worth a point. Also the ability to send and receive documents. I will agree the app is redundant and not worth a purchase, but surely it is more fun than MKA.

You said it got a 3. You are wrong. I edited my post as soon as I saw my math mistake.

I misremembered a years-old EGM score by half a point; you misremembered the fundamental mathematical realities which govern every reaction in our universe.

YOU=LOSE

P.S. "0.5 > 0.83" would make a good tag! :D

No, I skimmed the thread, and assumed that Bedrock Bowling got 1.5 (worse than your egm flub by 0.5! :lol ), and stupidly failed to take the two zeros into account when thinking of the Ping Pals score. Stupid, but not as stupid as you're making it out to be. Reading is Fundamental. I'll be more careful next time, so as to not draw your vast and stinging ire. :D

I just can't believe that it was Gifford -- who hates the DS so much he makes Drinky Crow look like Gahiggidy -- gave it the highest score.

Maybe he's caught wind of Atari/Reflections support for it?
 
I think the funniest expression of fanboyism ever has to go to Jr., who defended Ping Pals because he thought it didn't have the all time lowest score, but just one of the lowest scores! HATERZ BE DAMNED indeed! :lol :lol

Yeah. It is bizarre, though he did like Driv3r and Whiplash. Poor Kevin/Fennec. He needs to get on here and do some damage control.
