Now, now. Jimbo may be ignoring gaming history and disregarding the roots of the modern games he enjoys, but is that really any reason to gather an angry mob?Eomega123 said:

...Yes. Yes it is.
Yup, and they only entertain people with bucket loads of nostalgia rather then having good gameplay, storyline, technical marvels etc. Give me Shadow of the Colossus, MoH, and the X series any day.starwarsgeek said:
NB. I had been on these forums way before they became how they are now; a time when logic beat down fans rather then the website catering towards weird fads.
Pardon me sir, but what the hell are you even doing on this website?Jimbo1212 said:
And what happened to complexity is king? SotC is a good game, but it's not complicated. Follow the light, find the monster, climb it, stab it in the obvious weak point, repeat.
Because sometimes this website still does good things.Eomega123 said:
And SotC may not be that complex (have to first find out how to kill the creature), but that aesthetics are stunning, it is utterly unique, and with the ending and the simple concept of boy vs colossus, it is brilliant. Now how do the game you mention match up to that seeing that non are unique any more, had better sequels etc?
You have not made a single "logical" point in this entire discussion, and I've been following it. Your argument has really just been the equivalent of someone yelling "True art is dark and gritty!"Jimbo1212 said:
We do not cater towards "weird fads." We post news that our community finds interesting - and more importantly, that we find interesting. Just because something has a younger target audience does not preclude it being of quality. The writing, acting, and animation is fantastic. Plus, do you *really* think little kids are going to get the references in 4-minute-long Sondheim parodies? Really?
There's a reason "All Ages" has that "All" in it, you know. If you opened your mind you might be a much happier person.
Your big on the idea of insulting people who have a wider area of interests than you, aren't ya? It has to be nostalgia, because people can't legitimately enjoy anything older than the Dreamcast, right? Of course, we'll have to include the Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox once the Wii U, PS4, and Xbox Next are out. Might want to try replaying some of those classic games...if nothing else, you should be able to appreciate the importance of the games that introduce popular mechanics or launched genres.Jimbo1212 said:
By the way, Shadow of the Colossus is a magnificent game, but its not complicated; its minimalistic.
tehpiemaker makes a valid point, and as such this will be our last correspondence Mr. Jimbo.Jimbo1212 said:
Though we may have clashed, I'd like you to remember that I will always love and tolerate the shit out of you.
Very well sir, you're a wolf.
Moving on, definitely maining Fluttershy. I'm hoping for a mod that adds fatalities, as they're unlikely to be in the regular game.
Twilight-teleport opponent into the air, they fall screaming and explode on the ground
Rainbow dash-soinc rainbooms into their face, tearing off their skin and pulling off head
Applejack-bucks apples into their eyes and mouth before shattering their skull with a kick
Rarity-whines, causing their mind to overload and their head to burst
Fluttershy-Stares them into stone then screams, shattering them
Pinkie Pie-creepy music plays, fade out, fade in, she's covered in blood and eating a cupcake
And by the way bluepotatosack, wonderful avatar you have there!
I don't think I know anybody who would claim either.Jimbo1212 said:
But I can say with all honesty that the characters in MLP:FiM have more depth than the ones found in Starship Troopers.
Hmm...I'm actually picturing her fatality a little differently.Eomega123 said:
Fluttershy: *stare*
Opponent: *kills-self*
Announcer: "...Hara-Kiri?"
Fluttershy probably won't be playable. A battle with her would consist entirely of a mob of enraged bronies breaking the 4th wall and kicking the crap out of whoever she's fighting. Seriously, no matter how they try to program it, that's what's gonna happen.
What is suddenly up with the whole My Little Pony hype, it's like f*cking everywhere I didn't even once find in on TV
It's a bit hard to judge from your post exactly how much you already know about it, so I'l just assume nothing to be on the safe side.Dr. Wily III said:
The latest iteration of the My Little Pony cartoon is entitled Friendship is Magic. The reason that it is suddenly everywhere is because it's actually good. It was created by Lauren Faust, previously known for her work on Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Faust set out to buck the trend that young girl's entertainment has of pandering to the lowest comment denominator, and if the legions of adult fans are anything to go by she certainly succeeded. The term for a fan of the show outside the target demographic is "brony" (yes that pun is exactly as bad as you think it is) and there are a lot of us. Many fansites have been created and there is a thriving community around the show. The blog Equestria Daily has over 13 million hits and the Escapist usergroup has over 700 members and is usually at the top of the Most Active list.

All the episodes are on Youtube. It's technically illegal but since Hasbro is mainly interested in the show as an advertisement for the toy line they don't really care. If you're interested in watching you should know that episodes 1 and 2 are a two part pilot and are generally considered to be of lower quality than the rest of the series.
Hm, I am surprised you missed the logic in my posts. I shall make it clearer.John Funk said:
As you get older, you can appreciate many new things, things which you can not appreciate as a kid, therefore these things are left out of kids shows and films such as mlp. These things are everything I have mentioned, deeper characters, complexity, intrigue, better/more appropriate humour, thus it does not need to be 'dark and gritty', and I never claimed that so where did you get that comment from? All these new elements are more emotionally involving and moving, creating a deeper and more entertaining experiences which is why adult shows are generally better then kids shows (I say 'generally' simply because some shows are still crap).
I have also said how age does not reduce quality, but simply that people should be looking to watch something else as it is aimed at children, not adults.
Being open minded has nothing to do with this topic. All it is about is maturity of content, thus maturity of the viewers. As I have said, I use to watch things like this many years ago, but have now grown out of it and I am onto better tv shows.
I always say nostalgia because no one can ever give a sound or logical reason as why some old game is better then its improved successors.starwarsgeek said:
SotC is not that simple. The design shows this, and although short, it is clear that every inch was designed and crafted.
