Cartoony = bad?

I vote for the Mega Man II treatment. You get on that burly Mario, NOA.

Because it was thought to be official at the time.

Says who? I knew for a fact it wasn't official (anyone with any sense in graphic design could see it was merely a place holder/temp cover), it was never declared official, so why would you think that?

The workers at GameStop are one thing. The customers are another.

Again, how do you know people are laughing at it across America? Unless I see "study shows 95% of consumers laugh at Mario/Cartoony Box Art" in a news paper or something I find the whole assumption you are making hard to believe (you know that people everywhere seem to hate this cartoony box art thing and laugh at it and/or despise the game as a whole because of it).

Why'd you get so rude about a simple statement?

Fixed: I have seen people laugh at Mario box art. I believe it is too often candy-colored and kiddy-looking to attract anyone over the age of 12 unless they already know about the game.

Because I greatly dislike when people make wide sweeping statements with no foundation of fact for said statement.

Nice fix.

Edit: lol @ GP

Sorry.

I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. I fully retract my statement seeing as it, and your denunciation of it, have not added to the conversation at all.

Mashiro · « **Reply #329 on:** October 05, 2007, 09:17:43 PM »

Yeah I have no foundation for saying killer7 looks like crap when it ::shocks:: looks like crap.

Not plays like crap, not is crap, looks like crap. You can say something looks like crap without playing it. And visually buddy it looks like crap.

But hey stick up for a game which you say is terrible in the gameplay department. It looks bad, plays bad, but man my statement has no foundation for truth what so ever.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #330 on:** October 05, 2007, 09:19:15 PM »

I have never freaked out over unofficial box art. It definitely didn't make me feel like crying, because well, it is unofficial!

Mashiro · « **Reply #331 on:** October 05, 2007, 09:27:50 PM »

Ok to be fair Evan you didn't call the gameplay terrible. It's messy, it's completely different, blah blah "style" makes up for everything in the end that's all we will ever know.

In any case, back OT as I am being told to do . . .

Mario Galaxy box art looks beautiful. The game looks beautiful and it surely deserves massive sales this holiday season =)

I am interested in seeing how the game sells now that the Wii actually has a user base that can buy the game!

Mashiro · « **Reply #333 on:** October 05, 2007, 09:32:23 PM »

I'm gonna predict a 2.5 million world wide sales count by the end of November.

Galaxy looks like kid-dee rehash garbage that Nintendo can't grow out of. The kind of crap that kept its userbase from expanding in prior years. It'll only sell big this time around since there's a sizeable audience that already exists, and has `Mario` in the title (as previously mentioned), not because it actually reaches out to varieties of gamers and newcomers.

I will say that killer7 looks lovely in hindsight. The color palette gives it a colorful darkness accompanied with bizarre and sometimes sensual architecture. The harshness of the palette makes the standout-objects weird or inherently insane. Add a layer of wacko environment sounds and a soundtrack with some surprisingly nice tunes that tickle your un-expectations, and you've got a game that makes a better non-play experience than MGS Moviefest, and is a more pleaseant ride (controls, camera, puzzles, presentation) than classic Resident Evil [killer7's survival horror gameplay influences should not go unnoticed]. And according to IGN, killer7 beats the pants off Luigi's Mansion and Mario Kart DD.

If Nintendo wants the game to sell this is the box art they SHOULD have used.

10 million copies sold on the first day right there.

Its all because of the chubby star...

Perhaps they should contract Handre de Jager to do a less "juvenile" box.

Mario causes childhood obesity. I'd notify Jack Thompson, but he'd just include BBW porn in his legal brief.

I propose that we retitle this thread "STATING OPINIONS AS FACT AND MAKING UNFOUNDED GENERALIZATIONS TO SUPPORT HEAVILY BIASED ARGUMENTS".

I remember a time when we actually talked about games and what we liked about them, rather than spending all our time pissing and moaning about potential problems regarding marketing and sales, which really, let's be honest, shouldn't even concern us.

Crimm · « **Reply #340 on:** October 06, 2007, 08:49:52 AM »

No one likes games, anymore.

mantidor · « **Reply #341 on:** October 06, 2007, 09:08:45 AM »

All I know is that I want to smack in the head people who have anything bad to say about this game, because it looks like the most awesome thing I've witnessed.

I'd usually chalk this up to Pro's sarcasm, but considering his writing about killer7 just below was as serious as he gets, I'm not sure if I'd be right this time.

And if I'm not, he has some explaining to do.

I agree. Socks just do the same old crap they've been doing for years. WTF socks. Come out with something NEW already!

And they don't even do it as well.

My biggest fear from watching the Japanese site movies is that Galaxy is trying to be a Jack of All Trades and we all know what he's master of.

What, and alienate all of the hardcore sock fans?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #349 on:** October 06, 2007, 02:39:18 PM »

Who cares? Hardcore sock fans spend more time arguing about socks than they actually spend wearing them anyway...
