1. I hate Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.

2. Level grinding, though rewarding, should be kept less. Imagine how boring it can get fighting the same enemies over and over and over again just to get to n levels above a boss's level so you can beat him? That kind of gameplay's not for me. I'd fall asleep right away. If I'm level grinding, it has to be kept short. Take Pokemon for example. EVing them takes quite a minimal effort if you know what you're doing. You don't have to spend ages staring at the screen boring your pants off. This was the exact reason I quit MapleStory.

3. That casual gamer bit intrigues me. We're all split into 2 different gaming worlds now that the Wii's a big hit. The hardcore curse the casual for existing because they apparently 'dumb down' the quality of games, while the casual don't understand the hardcore group and their complex ****. The hate is everywhere, it's like two religions fighting for supremacy. I agreed with what he said about the 'gaming experience' thing. When you've been playing a long time, most things seem simple because you know what to do. Unlike johnny, I wasn't shocked cause I'm always on the fence between hardcore and mainstream, I play all sorts and don't usually complain about difficulty. As long as the game is there, I'll play it. This part of the video made a lot, a lot of sense.

4. This is a good video. Many, many good points being made here. I wish I could talk like that and express my feelings so completely. It's a bit difficult for me.

5. Did I mention I hate Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia?

Will watch later.

That's why he's the Overthinker (c wut he did thar?)
That was a nice long talk he gave too.

And here's the next installment!



I enjoy this one. Lots of good points (wash the paint off, Ninty, and you may as well call it Ocarina of Wolves), nothing I would argue with, so on, so forth. Next episode looks good, though. Nintendo gobbling up Sega (at least making them 2nd Party or something) is the only natural conclusion to their current state.

What really pains me is when people don't even consider the Wii a real console because of all the shovelware and crappy stuff. Thinking it sucks and the 360/PS3 is much better? Sure, go ahead. To an extent, I'd probably agree with you. But a lot of gamers - and the public at large - seems to think it's just a child's toy. Which, to an extent, it is, as are all consoles... but it can and does compete in the big leagues. However, the majority of people don't understand that Wii games are video games, just like Halo or Resistance or Fable. Hell, a lot of people I know don't even understand there's games other than Wii Sports.

I weep for them, and then, for myself.

So fuking true. Listen to the man, Nintendo. Except about the smash bros. DS thing... Suffice to say I could live without that.

It's just disgusting, and multiplayer wouldn't be very good, and that's the whole point of smash bros.!!!

I think they could pull of a Smash Bros. DS if they really wanted to. It'd be a big departure from the console ones, but it's not as if it's an impossibility... hell, make it an RPG spin-off or something. That'd probably sell.

Like Super Smash Kart.

Do it, Nintendo. Do it hard.

I didn't know DDR Mario Mix sold more than 10 copies.

 

Wait, a board game with Smash Bros. in it? I can't begin to imagine
