I beat Scarygirl last week. Its wonderful art style is something we don't see often in games nowadays (as is the couch co-op option). I'd like share my review with you. As always, it is spoiler-free. I really hope it helps get more people playing Scarygirl, it's well worth the $10 it's sold for.

Here it is:

This is one of the best threads I've read on this board in years.

Thanks, Realo, both for initiating this discussion (and having other fellow B8'ers open up in the process), and for fighting the good fight to help the "loser" here improve his life, despite all the whining you've received for like a couple of years now just because people don't like it when you point out how flawed their mindset is.

People just need to be confident in themselves, in what they do and where they are going. Everything else, women included, comes as a natural consequence.

Tell us your thoughts and feelings on the user Luster Soldier.

Luster has an impressive/disturbing fascination with the inner workings of GameFAQs. As such, he's actually quite useful in terms of catching bugs and coding errors that most users would never catch. Seems like a pretty nice guy as well, from what I can tell.

[–]Hesbin

Do you feel his plan of marrying a female GameFAQs user and raising a child to be the ultimate GameFAQs moderator will work?

[–]GameFAQs_SBAllen[S]

I hope I'm invited to the wedding.

[–]LusterSoldier

facepalm

Sadly, that plan has been thrown into the trash bin. I was only 17 at the time I came up with that plan and it's been a few years since that all happened.

I am impressed by SBAllen's comments about me. Yes, I try to be nice whenever possible, unless someone gives me a hard time about something.

Yeah, I also enjoyed Crystal (the first one I played) a good bit, then I played Yellow, and Sapphire was where I stopped.

Not a Mega Man fan, either, I just never got into it, but the situation there is a bit different. While there was a time when Capcom milked Mega Man like crazy (and now, for some reason, they like to pretend he doesn't exist), at the very least, the amount of people who will buy anything Mega Man is significantly lower. But I can see if that's the first non-Nintendo analogy to come to mind. :)

It's not like there are 5 games in the world and pokemon is one of them. I can play countless games, and shame on me if I choose to buy and play the same game many times instead of the many awesome new games out there that are actually original and will offer me experiences I have not been through before.

No offence but I really don't care about your gaming preferences, Superman 64 can be your favorite game for all I care. However I do care about why you think playing Pokemon as an adult holds any shame?
So tell me. What exactly is so horrible about Pokemon?
Please. I'd like to hear a detailed explanation to see how much legitimacy your posts have.
Otherwise you're just another deluded person on the internet who thinks hating on games which have kiddish artstyle instantly makes you cool when in reality you're a submissive person with low self esteem.


For a start, re-read the post you just quoted. It's pretty good explanation, but I'll elaborate a little for your sake.

Pokemon represents some of the worst things about gaming - fans will buy rehashes like crazy, resulting in countless sequels which are essentially more of the same. It's all about the blind, zealous devotion, and I don't like that in gaming. Nintendo are releasing two versions of the same game and people buy right into it, a whole lot of them even buy them both! So Nintendo keep doing it. If you don't understand why that is disturbing to a normal gamer, I guess I can't help you even if I wrote a whole essay. I can't really blame Nintendo, every company likes to make money, but the fans are certainly to blame. People need to learn to vote with their wallets. Blind devotion has never, does not, and will never help gaming in any way.

As a game, Pokemon is certainly nothing special - the first time it was fun as a whole, I even played a couple more in hope for a new experience, but screw wasting my time playing more of them. There's just much better, more interesting stuff out there.

It's not about it being kiddy, even if that doesn't help its case (as trying to appeal to kids hurts important aspects of the game). But Mario is also kiddy, which, for instance, didn't stop 64 from being a vastly different experience in comparison to the previous games.

Like it or not, Pokemon is old news.

Ah, so, in order to have fun with a game, I have to ignore the fact that makes it not worth playing. Gotcha.
