Watching the American elections make me thankful for Canadian elections, which is a feat in and of itself. The sensationalism going on down in the states right now is unbelievable. I have never seen people talk for so long and say nothing. It's like running for class president has gotten out of control and been given million dollar budgets.
PS. I'm willing to bet we'll be finished our elections here in Canada before the States has a new President.

I think it comes down to what kind of games you enjoy as well. I like Action/Adventure, platformers, puzzle games and RPG's. I only really like the odd fighter, I hate sports games, and I never really enjoyed FPS's. So tell me what is there for me in this list of universally acclaimed games on the XBOX360? I buy Nintendo's new systems because Zelda games are the best of my favourite kind of game. Now these genres are more scarce than they used to be and Nintendo is the only place I know that my appetite will be filled in these area's. The only genre that is lacking is RPG's, but I haven't really liked the direction that they have been going in for the last little while anyways.
Now before I'm burned at the stake, let me say that I do not disregard games entirely based on the genre of the game. I played GOW co-op at my friends place and loved it. I only like fighters when there is someone else to play against who can be competitive, most the time I'll get good, start kicking ass and nobody will play me anymore. My point is simply this, I know what I want and where to get it, this list is irrelevant to anyone who is in the same boat. However, seeing a list of "Universally Acclaimed" games for each system would be helpful if you didn't know what kind of atmosphere each system had to offer and were looking into getting one.
PS. If you didn't read this just read luigi dude's comment, same difference.

The panning camera has been done in a few third person action games, I suppose the only difference is that in these games the camera is fixed behind your character. For instance, RE4 on the cube lets you use the c-stick to pan the camera, likewise you can do the same in metal gear games. It is certainly an interesting idea that could be really cool with some development.

It was definitely playable, but I just couldn't handle Diddy with the precision I would have liked. It changes up my game when arial moves and bananas become unreliable. I would have played my DK more as well, but he's really more useful in 1vs1 and I wasn't sure I wanted him to be even slower than he already is. I hope we can do this again sometime though, thanks guys it was fun.

Good matches guys, it's been a while since i've been able to play online. Man it was slow though. My favourite game was the one where Mario and I were fighting over the dragoon pieces and I finally got the all and killed him and maxi suicided because of the camera shift for the win. I was essentially killed by lag in that last match though, i had a jump left and put in the command for that spike way earlier than it happened.
All and all good night

Bah, I came home too late to argue with GP about arguing with my post! So let's do a drive by on the stuff that was posted since I read this last.
About comparing MRPG and PM: At what point do games get similar enough that we are "allowed" to compare them. I think that the problem that you see in this is in trying to discern whether or not one is better than the other, which was never what I was advocating. As a matter of fact, it is the differences in the games that make games worth comparing at all. You could very easily compare metroid prime to halo, but to do so with the goal of proving one is better than the other would be foolish. What we can learn is what mechanics work or don't work for the genre and the intended purpose of the game. You don't necessarily need to compare games to do that, but it can provide some insight that is worth while.
About the strategy guide: I've never really been one to use strategy guides (except the first time I played earthbound, but that was because it came with it and was masterfully written). I do remember my friend having the guide and I think I showed him more hidden chests than he showed me. My favourite was the invisible chest in the sunken ship in the room with the fake mario that mirrors your moves, where you have to fake him out, jump on his head, then from his head onto the visible chest floating in the middle then you jump again to hit the invisible chest..... good stuff.
Now the the topic at hand: The only character I didn't use very much was mallow. Any other party combination is workable with the proper items supplementing them, though balance is weighted heavily in favour of the mario bowser peach combo.

« on: August 26, 2008, 02:03:10 AM »I didn't say I wasn't going to play it, I'll buy it as soon as it comes out, I have blocks reserved for it and Mega Man 2, another classic that I've never played before. I'm just sick of the argument; one of the first things I did on this forum was get into a big argument with Mashiro about the quality of Paper Mario, a game he hated because of Super Mario RPG.
Paper Mario and Mario RPG are two completely different games. It is like comparing Zelda with Mario, it just does not work.
Saying that you can't compare the two doesn't really make sense. I mean it's not like one is a platformer and one is a FPS, they're both RPG games using the mario property. I do agree, however, that Mario RPG and Paper Mario are not trying to meet the same goal. This doesn't mean that comparing the two is a fruitless endeavor, but what goal each game is trying to meet should be taken into account. Both games are working with the RPG formula but they modify them in different ways. By picking out the differences you can see why some people might prefer one game over the other, or see what modifications to the RPG formula worked better than others.
I personally liked Mario RPG better because it was more engaging. I also enjoyed Paper Mario, but I found myself getting bored much faster. Mario RPG just had so many fun things going on that broke up the battles and the story. Riding in the mine cart, barrel jumping on midas river, hiding behind the curtains in boosters mansion, playing musical tadpoles... these things were great and well placed. Paper mario was just more straight forward, still fun, I just found it less inventive.

SNES RPG's:
1.Chrono Trigger
2.FFIV
3.Earthbound
4.Mario RPG
and I love Mario RPG, it allowed us to se the mushroom kingdom in an unprecedented way. It is one of my favourite games, I only put it at #4 because the snes had some truly magical **** going on in the top 3. Also I know that some people won't agree with ffIV, but it's my favourite FF and they are wrong

sounds like a plan, i'm still a little rusty as i've only played twice since i've gotten home from being at camp for 7 weeks, but i'm starting to get back into the swing of it.
lag is pretty bad, sorry about the disconnect it was unintentional.

i guess it is the same, just that i'm separating it from the healing item. It's just that I can understand why you wouldn't want your last health item to turn you into a time bomb.
