What is the difference between a duck? Posts: 4,799 Group: Former Monarchs Member #7,312 Joined: April 10, 2008 Playstation Network ID: Allbowdown Xbox Live Gamertag: allbowdown	Oh trust me I know, but I really liked 3, and even 2 with it's cutscenes wasn't quite as smothered in cinematic surfacing only because the DVD format and hardware didn't permit the overclouting. But you're right in saying that both are pretty notorious for it. I just call a game that is more movie than actual game is overrated when it is as popular as the MGS series is. Simply put, if people can call the Master Chief and Halo overrated simply for being universally liked in most areas, I can call Snake and MGS overrated for being also universally liked and being interactive movies as a series over being true "climatically proportioned" games. Another horribly overrated game in my opinion, and I can see that my belief is shared in this.. is Super Smash Bros Brawl. Because it is fun to play when you first pick it up sure.. but that shine quickly goes away with faulty network play and little to do once the SSMB is beaten. The stadium creation feature is cheap at best and it isn't the type of game that can really keep appeal on it's own for years to pilot a console without any other game aid. Flagship titles like Halo 3/Gears 2 for the 360 and Resistance 2/ Killzone 2 can all survive and maintain playability while also using decent to above average online playing to keep the taste in the players' mouths fresh.

Lava Reef Act 2 Posts: 4,075 Group: Game Over :( Member #3,768 Joined: November 21, 2007	BlizShadow Apr 29 2009, 06:36 PM I want to backpedal a few posts and wonder whether or not I'm the only one that's noticed that every time Snooky says something about Sonic '06, we get annoying arguments. Seriously, where the hell is this onslaught coming from and why won't it stop? That damn two and a half year old game is not worth partially or wholly derailing multiple threads because you're aggravated by someone's opinion. Snooky, you've been acting like an excessively condescending git to those who express any positive feelings towards '06 and have been the major reason as to why these annoying arguments keep popping up in the first place. Whether you're doing it in jest or not doesn't matter anymore. Cut your shit out. We don't need or want a fugging Offense Force for every single positive '06 comment. The same to an extent goes to the few who want to cuddle this series and/or completely ignore any of its flaws. In the end, what any of you guys think about Sonic '06 is extremely insignificant in comparison to the mucking about you're doing over the game, so cut it out or receive some warns. Excuse me? So now there are actually forbidden arguments? Weren't we just talking that no topics or posts about a certain argument were forbidden some weeks ago?

Well I agree with you about MGS. I like some of the action in it, but even the gameplay wasn't that great. I don't like stealth games all that much and another one in similar fashion to MGS that I absolutely hate with a passion is Splinter Cell. I remember when the first one came out on the Xbox and it was all the rage. When it came to PS2 I decided to rent it to see what it was like and it fell flat on its face for me. Just too slow and too boring. Meh. The Blu Ray format really has nothing to do with how long the game is though. How much space you have does not equal length because there were games longer than lots of next-gen games on PS1 using one CD.

Besides he used the "WRONGGGGG" meme in the first place so it should be fine for me to use the "YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR" meme. Though that picture was funny. Looks at the url link for the picture ... ARGHHHHHHHH!!! Also the double post is a mistake. Edited by ShadFort360, Apr 30 2009, 10:45 AM.

I still can't use this. Posts: 6,546 Group: Former Monarchs Member #6,722 Joined: March 16, 2008	Eprahim Excuse me? So now there are actually forbidden arguments? Weren't we just talking that no topics or posts about a certain argument were forbidden some weeks ago Woooow, it's gotten so bad that now me saying get back on topic (albeit aggressively) is me declaring that a certain subject is universally banned forever and ever and that any mention of it is grounds for a permaban. I don't care what people argue about so long as the argument is significantly relevant to the topic. To compound that, there's been several "Sonic '06 sucks/doesn't suck" beefs across the board which usually involves Snooky personally attacking members and members inevitably firing back and it's tired and unnecessary. If you want to talk and debate about Sonic '06, then make a fuggin' topic and keep it civil. Don't turn every single innocent mention of the damn game into a sign of war. PS: Those Phoenix Wright sprites aren't funny. xP Snooky That's what I said You said Bowie, not Bouncy.

The same to an extent goes to the few who want to cuddle this series and/or completely ignore any of its flaws. Sounds like "Don't mention Sonic 06" to me in any topics of over-underrated games. And basically you're prohibiting counter-debating. If someone says "Sonic 06 deserved a GOTY" I have the right to say "Not quite. Please allow me to exami... pardon, cross-examine your points." >_> Quote: The whole Guitar Hero series is overrated. Sure, they're great games, but they're just WAAAAY overrated.
