"I hate people who don't like the games that I like because they don't have any good reasons for not liking them because the games I like are perfect and if you don't like them you suck at picking out good games."
oh shut up it's not like that.well okay it is kinda like that:oRTS you are right
The reason Brawl fails is because you can't disable characters on random, So when I get Jigglypuff and my Brothers get Snake and DeDeDe respectively, I'm screwed.
Also; Falco is the best character without going into the cheap (S and SS) tiers.
That's the point of the random character. You either get screwed or you hit the jackpot. Besides, you can always do something even with the worthless blimp if you're willing to be cheap enough.
thats easy just have sonic do the "you're too slow" taunt which really would piss me off if i were ganon then you would be more determined to kill sonic then it would at least be a one-on-one
My tip for ganondof is to use his normal smash attack(the B button on a Gamecube controller) that is the strongest nonfinalsmash move in the game.
Man this thread came off track.
Yet this contradicts Sonic '06, Shadow the Hedgehog AND Heroes.
Does not compute.
sonic maybe, but not sega, they have still got great releases: hotd, virtua tennis and fighter, football manager, condemned 2. great looking up coming games: madworld, the conduit, empire total war.

Sonic Team's kind of a weird side-note to the whole thing.
They're more of a sweatshop than a development studio at this point and have probably forgotten what good games are like.
Oh, and Lylat Wars Starfox 64 and Adventures, they were excellent! Great thing Nintendo won the rights to Krystal, Or we'd have Dinosaur Planet appear on the 360, And we all know that'd end up very bad.

Oh, yeah, Dinosaur Planet.
It's a good thing they never shoehorned Star Fox into that and had Andross show up at the last minute just to kill all the build-up so you could have the obligatory SHOOT THE CORE GIANT FLOATING HEAD fight.
Oh, yeah, Dinosaur Planet.

But if it didn't become Adventures, Rare probably would've had the rights to it, and then we'd get them on the 360. And I would go on a murderous rampage. Oh, and we would've had the original version of Krystal, Which looked ugly as heck.

Except Adventures sucked, so yeah.
And you do realize that early Krystal was a beta model, right?
And on the goddamn N64?
It's not exactly powerful hardware (by modern standards, anyway).
Also, the furries had to use their imaginations more, which is a plus.
Okay, We ALL know what Number 1 is;
THE DEATH OF SEGA.
Oh Come on, It's inevitable that's gonna be at the top, Because if the DC hadn't failed, We'd still have GOOD Sonic games and we'd have a continuation of the Phantasy Star Online series.
*cough*ValkyriaChronicles*cough*Madworld*cough*
Also, without Star Fox Adventure we wouldn't have had Krystal, one of the hottest anthropomorphs since Gadget from Rescue Ranger.
I say Adventures is a Great game, Considering when you compare it to... THAT one on DS. The video game industry nowadays doesn't accommodate the hardcore gamers like you and I, That's why I like Telltale so much.

starfox command was an excellent game what are you talking about
Aside from the dialogue, How much they changed characters like Katt, Amanda and the really bad endings you mean?
amanda was only in command. endings in games such as star fox don't matter, they are for playing not watching, its an arcade game not a story driven action adventure, especially as only one of the multiple endings will matter over all, they are what ifs not end alls.
i nly get disappointed at endings in a cinematic type game (se mgs, mass effect, shenmue, i could go on).
my main point is that not every game needs a good story or for one to even be there, look at the mario games their story is terrible princess gets kidnapped mario to the rescue, you play them for the game play. Less games should try to have a story and be more original with their game play
I actually enjoyed Command. My only complaint about it is that I had to brake my hand, twist it into an unrecognizable shape, and let it heal like that before I could work those damn controls.
The gameplay was enjoyable for the most part, But the dialogue was so bad it made me want to grow a third hand so I could Facepalm myself while playing, The stupid repetition (Shoot enemies, get stars, Run into spaceship, get stars, Shoot down missile- Guess what! Get stars.) And how many characters lacked locking entirely. Also, a story may not be entirely necessary, but when you DO set up a good one from the start, You don't ruin it and you certainly don't make the player hate some of their favorite characters.
I'll vote for the death of adventure games. Thankfully they're starting to claw their way back but the heyday of point and click adventure gaming is gone. It's sad.
oh! And games created for the passion of the game, not because it'll sell. These days, games like Loom wouldn't even get a chance because omg, commercial success so much more important!
The Wii has helped that a little though. so yay!
I miss shareware, I miss the era of adventure games, I miss really random and strange games lol.
Unfortunately it's all pretty pretty graphics and no soul. Here's hoping that trend dies soon.
When people started to attribute violence to games.
Lawyers who built their careers by trying to outlaw violent games.
The fact that parents didn't stop to think 'should I let my child play this game'? (This is something far older than computer games, going back to movies and lord knows what before that).
I know what;
Comic books
Novels
and going back far enough, Education.
But back on topic, People saying that Video games are bad because they feature violence deserve to be flogged/Whipped/beaten, Especially those who think Madworld will 'Ruin their gaming console' *facepalm.jpg* Okay, They deserve to be removed from society because their low IQ scores are a plague on the glorious face of society.

I was actually going to say comics, but the time of comic book controversy was before mine; I just don't know enough about that. I took know that a lot of newsagents have lists of what magazines should be kept on the 'Top Shelf' and most comic shops should know enough about their products to know what should and shouldn't be sold to children.
While there has always been graphic violence in comics (although the violence in the comics of way back whence would be shrugged off and ignored by most parents when compared to what's available today).
I don't think controversy around comics or any other literary medium has ever compared to that that computer games face today.

Well I think that these people should have their say but it does seem that they're trying to stifle the voices of those who would oppose them. There have been studies where those who have conducted them have been asked by anti-video game lobbyists to change the phrasing in certain parts of their findings. eg, a phrase like 'figures show a correlation between youth violence and video games' would become 'figures should youth violence is caused by video games'. (I am paraphrasing, sorry). There was one case of this happening last year. I wish I could give more specific details about this but this was just an article I stumbled across, I didn't think to book market.
But saying there's a correlation is a far fairer thing to say as it means that young people who are naturally attracted to violence (sociopaths, for example) would be naturally attracted to violence in games.
A game made by Sega where the main colors are Black, White and Red. It's basically a Game show mixed with a Meat house. You get points for killing in style too. I think there's a censored advert somewhere.
Okay, here's a recent thing that depressed me. Resident Evil 5 is being accused of racism because the vast majority of the people you kill are black. That would make sense, if it weren't for the fact that the game takes place in Africa, the people you kill are infected zombies, there are black people on your team, and (this is what really gets me) there were no racist accusations against Resident Evil 4, despite the fat that almost everyone you fought was Spanish. I wish people would just learn to relax.

Repeat to yourself, 'It's just a game, I should really just relax' for Mystery Zombie Theater 5000!

I can name a decent one, although it's not very big:
When iD software gave up on making the last Commander Keen trilogy (The Universe Is Toast!) in favor of FPSes. :P
I couldn't agree with you more. At least iD was nice enough to release almost all the games on Steam.
One of the most disappointing moments in gaming history for me was what we got for Ultima IX. From really dumb questions that the Avatar could ask, What are gargoyles?, all so to ease people new to Ultima into the game (although why someone new to Ultima would pick something labeled as the ninth installment I don't know) to the absolutely awful explanation of the Guardian's origins which has got to be the worst moment in the game. Hack's Ultima Page has a decent sized list of nitpicks of the game.
How has this not been mentioned yet (I guess because very good things came from it in the form of Telltale Games, but still)?
3 March 2004 LucasArts has decided to stop production on Sam & Max
"After careful evaluation of current market place realities and underlying economic considerations, we've decided that this was not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC" says Mike Nelson, Acting General Manager and VP of Finance and Operations. There is currently no plan to reduce staff.

Explain how this logic works if I'm Ganondorf on New Pork City.
Okay, New Pork City is the worst stage in the game. It's too big to actually do anything on, so I just turn it off when I'm playing random games.
Okay, Ditto that, But how am I supposed to do anything as Ganondorf versus Sonic AND Snake, With Smash balls on, Eh?!
Man this thread came off track.
Yes, Because that is going to hit Sonic on temple.
And the lack of Shenmue III was caused by...
THE DEATH OF SEGA
So that just bumps it higher.
it was caused more by people not buying the 1st 2 i wouldn't say sega are dead either, they are still fairly strong
Yet this contradicts Sonic '06, Shadow the Hedgehog AND Heroes.
