I think I'm getting old (computer games-centric)

MelesMeles [Edit] [Delete] 18 replies 21:35, 17 July '08

So, my (15 year-old) brother was playing Super Mario Galaxy, and I'm just like: whats with this shit? Its really fast and it keeps on going upside down and I don't understand the controllers and the way the two-player thing works. I'm not even entirely sure what the aim was. It was worse than sitting outside URBIS, or a trip to Affleck's palace, or something. When I play a video/computer game I want a proper controller like a keyboard or a gamepad. Oh and for it to have a proper plot, and dialogue, and atmosphere, and not be all weird and fast and youth-oriented. Basically, progress has left me behind already.

And another thing: there is a Wii news channel. Who the hell gets their news from Wii?

  • Where the fuck you come from?

  • I like the Wii

    but when it comes to old games like Mario, I'm with the original first few games, not the modern ones.

  • You're forgetting the three best games of all time

    Planescape:Torment
    Anachronox
    and Morrowind

    Oh, and the third Monkey Island game and Unreal Tournament too.

    • Unreal 2004

      But I played it earlier on some horrendous difficulty level, and I felt like I'd injected raw speed into my eyeballs.

      • I have 2003

        top difficulty setting + InstaGib = hours of fun.

        • 2004 has vehicles.

          Hours of fun with tanks and running people over. And cutting heads off with hovercraft blades.

  • I like chess

    and scrabble

    Anschul | 17 Jul '08, 21:44 | X
    • Me too

      I think I actively prefer board games to computer games now, actually.

      MelesMeles @Anschul | 17 Jul '08, 21:46 | X
  • It's one of those games, like Portal

    which you can't really understand unless you're the one playing it.

  • Are you posting from this account when you're at home then?

    Zapsta | 17 Jul '08, 21:47 | X
    • Oh yeah

      I got PMed in this one, so I guess I just stayed logged in.

  • Mario Galaxy is awesome

    The first (and probably last) time my wife has consented to play a computer game with me for any length of time (she was my star helper :))

    MrScagdenSir | 17 Jul '08, 21:48 | X
  • spend about half an hour playing galaxy

    and I guarantee you'll be in love with it, if it seems so surprising.

    One of my favourite ever games.

    TheWildSon | 17 Jul '08, 21:59 | X
  • Mario games have never had a proper plot or

    spoken dialogue. It's just the planet thing that takes getting used to, and once you give it a try you will find that it's amazing.

  • many games these days are turd

    i just want them to remake Final fantasies 1-9, deus ex, silent hill 1+2, resies 1-3, tomb raider 1-3, dino crisis+ system shock 2
