Topic: Game Over: One final rant...

[NWR_insanolord]

I aspire to one day be a good enough poster that people would care if I left.

[Stogi]

My goal is the opposite.

not really

You know what? Despite the issues we have faced in the last few months at NWR I still take this place over some of the other sites.

For a while, I tried being a regular at VGChartz. But all they do is talk about sales, there's nothing but troll threads on ALL forums and the whole place just seems idiotic. We might be smaller and we may have a few Ians here and there, but on the whole this place is much better because we actually have game discussions.

I just looked at the site once more and there were too many idiotic threads for me.

I tried looking for other sites and tried The Escapist. Their forums are 90% polls and 10% fanboy trolling. Threads grow so fast that noone can read them anyway and everybody just throws his piece of mind in there with noone caring about the other people... At least here we talk about actual games.

That is true. Gamefaqs and its idiot posters are the same way. Topics are bumped constantly out of reading range in more popular threads, and the people that post have no problem insulting the other posters. It is not a community, it is a bulletin board. Here you can't really fling around insults left and right, not just because of it being against the rules but everyone knows each other here so while you still have the "protection" with it being through the internet you aren't completely anonymous either.

I think I'm kind of stuck here. If I were to leave, if anyone remembered me it would be for the wrong reasons.

I don't buy into that whole generalization. It just depends on which boards you visit, but there are some intelligent and respectful people there. Many of the popular boards are a mess though... just have to find the not-so-popular boards and you're likely to find some cool people there.

Gamefaqs is trash all around, there may be some good posters here and there but it is filled with a bunch of kids who attack anyone and everything. It is the poster child to why there are no politics and religion allowed here.

[Mop it up]

It must just be the boards I visit because I rarely run into that. I do stay away from anything current because of all the garbage which happens on those boards. Older game boards likely means older peoples.

I know everyone likes hearing about Bill, so here's a recent conversate we had in response to the Red Steak 2 trailer:


[20:01] Bill: i see western awesome, i see actual sword gameplay that we know is now physically possible with M+, i see awesome visual design
 
so far so good here
[20:02] Geoffry Giraffe: But that's not gameplay footage
[20:02] Bill: i bet it'll be close if not identical to what was shown
[20:02] Daisy: good IR control was physically possible in launch games.  in Red Steel it was not.
[20:02] PIAC: they turned the awesome realistic gfx into a kiddie disney game, made the emphasis on crappy boring swordfighting, took out multiplayer and no more gangsta style and PROBABLY no more slowmo stuff which was the only thing the original innovated in
[20:02] Geoffry Giraffe: More platitudes
 
<UBI>  EH HAHAHAHA  that'll keep 'em busy
[20:02] Daisy: LOL TRUE GEOF
[20:03] Daisy: this is no leak
[20:03] Daisy: it's intentional
[20:03] Geoffry Giraffe: Yeha Bill, they said "close to if not identical" last time
[20:03] Geoffry Giraffe: Fool me once
[20:03] Bill: that was before we knew what the wiimote could really do
[20:03] Daisy: you give it to some OTHER COUNTRY'S NEWS STATION and expect them to handle the footage with care? laffo
[20:04] PIAC: lol
[20:04] Daisy: this is just the Road to E3 viral hype
[20:04] Geoffry Giraffe: I mean Wii isn't cabale of those graffix and it will be rushed as all hell and WORSE
[20:04] Geoffry Giraffe: WORSE is that the gam won't sell because everybody thought the first one sucked
[20:04] Daisy: and here's another knock on this fake trailer, the original Red Steel trailer had IN GAME GRAPHICS
[20:04] Bill: uh, so are these
[20:05] PIAC: i liked the first one which is why i dont want this
[20:05] Daisy: they're not bill
[20:05] Bill: just AA'd
[20:05] Daisy: wii doesn't have AA
[20:05] Bill: but it's the ingame engine
[20:05] Daisy: wii can't output that rez
[20:05] Daisy: it had PoP 360 engine written all over it
[20:05] Bill: i don't give a **** about resolution
[20:05] PIAC: ubisofts plan is working, everyone is arguing
[20:05] Daisy: LOL GRUB
[20:05] Bill: it's a trailer meant to be played on a big screen
[20:06] Bill: hence it being an internal trailer
[20:06] PIAC: tearing apart the Wii base from the inside
[20:06] Geoffry Giraffe: Yeah, they don't need to be honest
[20:06] Daisy: and trailers for WII GAMES meant to be played on big screens means the footage gets UPSCALED AND NOTICEABLY BLURRY
[20:06] Daisy: upscaling WII GAMES doesn't suddenly INCREASE DETAIL
[20:06] Daisy: not a chance
[20:06] Geoffry Giraffe: Yeah fucking UBISoft and third parties
[20:07] Daisy: man, my 3rd party HATORADE levels are rising.  this e3 will be AWESOME, just for the potential to crush dreams
[20:07] Geoffry Giraffe: But it could be a big hit if the change it's name to just "Red Steel" and forget the first game ever existed
[20:07] Geoffry Giraffe: Oh yeah that's right, spit userbase with Motion Plus
[20:07] Geoffry Giraffe: Never mind
[20:07] Daisy: this trailer insults me
[20:08] Geoffry Giraffe: Another third party failure on the fire
[20:08] Daisy: if it was a CG teaser, i'd be fine, but they go thru the motions of hiring an actor to pretend there's gameplay
[20:08] Geoffry Giraffe: And FF:CC Wii looks like **** too
[20:08] Bill: you guys are all fags, i have better things to do in a bad mood
[20:08] Daisy: FFCC is ok, it's basically PsiOps 2
[20:08] *** Akai-chan has left the conversation.
[20:09] Daisy: LOL HE WAS IN A BAD MOOD?
[20:09] Geoffry Giraffe: LOL
[20:09] Daisy: WHY
[20:09] Daisy: I THOUGHT HE LIKED THE TRAILER
[20:09] Daisy: AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
[20:09] Geoffry Giraffe: Plan worked
[20:09] Daisy: minus one nintard


on a positive note

Bill was the most rational one. At least he wasn't jumping on the now ridiculous hate 3rd party train.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Bill was the most rational one.

That's not saying much.  You haven't argued with him much here.

[NWR_pap64]

I'm sensing Pro wants to keep Bill away from NWR by constantly trolling him.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Oh you weren't with us last week when Bill called for 3 straight nights of Reggie Kart.

The Family Reggie has never done so terribly in Kart.  Bill's not allowed to setup Kart nights again.

[NWR_pap64]

So your tormenting Bill is really vengeance for defeating the all mighty Reggie on karts?

I would have aimed for his loli obsession. It would have been low, but it would have driven the point across.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

We were all Reggie, five of us in one race, but Bill wasn't doing as well as he typically does (were plagued by 3 hack cheaters per race on average).

I'm actually tormenting PGC cuz I know Bill is somewhat missed.

[Stogi]

I didn't read through all the conversation (cuz it was BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNG).

The video at the end though cracked me up!

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

GP reads thru boring, confirmed.

[Dasmos]

why did you change the names?
