IGN gives Super Mario Galaxy 2 a perfect 10

[Tyeforce]

I'm assuming that you must have absurdly tiny hands to think that the 360's controllers are bulky, the... handholds, I suppose... are smaller than a Wiimote, and similar in size to the nunchuck. And speaking of the nunchuck, you can not possibly find that more comfortable. It has an angle that sticks directly into your hand. If you ever get the chance, compare the two. I just did.

Now that I think of it, I might have been thinking of the original Xbox controller. Either way, neither Xbox controller suited me. I didn't like the buttons, the button placement, the control sticks, the D-pad, and just the overall feel of it. I just didn't like it. And, yes, I find the Nunchuk to be very comfortable in my hands. Don't *censored.3.0*ing tell me what I can and can't find comfortable. I have my preferences and you have yours. Why is that so hard to believe?

Or if you are like me, you hate the 360 because it is Microsoft.

While it's true that I hate the Windows operating system and I generally dislike Microsoft as a company for many reasons, that's not why I don't like the Xbox.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deeppeople said SMG was terrific" but he got bored of it quickly.

People just happen to think SMG2 is terrific, too. He is allowed to have his own tastes, you know.

I know he has his own tastes, but I'm saying the Super Mario Galaxy 2 will likely hold his attention much better than the original Galaxy. I'll admit that the original did get a tad boring at times, but I still consider it a terrific game, one of the best games ever, in fact. And Super Mario Galaxy 2 is all that plus more, and even better. Really, it depends on why he got bored of the first Super Mario Galaxy. If it had anything to do with level design, then he shouldn't worry about being bored by the sequel. But if it was because he just doesn't like platforming games or something, then maybe the sequel won't do it for him, either. But there's no harm in trying, is there? Seriously, this is looking to be one of those games that you just absolutely have to play.

It would harm his wallet.

&The gamecube controller is AWFUL. How you like that over the xbox one I'll never know.

By "try" I meant rent or borrow the game, not necessarily purchase it.

And, again, why is it so hard to understand that I have different preferences to you? The GameCube controller is my absolute favorite traditional controller of all time. It may not be true for you, but that doesn't mean it can't be true for me. We have different preferences.

Renting games is something related to piracy, so by endorsing him to rent the game, you're possibly creating more pirates.

I'm assuming that he's not going pirate it if he rents it. What reason do I have to believe that he would do that? >_> Now you're just trying to make me mad and cause trouble.

Says who?
What is piracy? One person buys and uploads a game to the internet, thus getting free games while the developers don't get anything.
What is renting? A branch buys one copy of a game, and charges $7 to $10 a person for 3 nights. Do developers get any of the money? I don't think so.

So when I rent a game from Blockbuster its illegal?

No, because you're paying for the rentals with taxes and everything. My point is that even though he's all "support the developers, buy the game", he's contradicting himself because he's endorsing video game rentals which, to my knowledge, the developers get any profit, which is technically not supporting the developers.

First of all, renting and pirating is very different. The developers get some money from the games that the rental store purchases from them. And when you rent something, it's not forever. You have to return it eventually. And if you don't beat the game and want to finish, or if you just like it so much that you want to own it, then you'll probably go out and buy the game. Personally, I don't care for renting. I buy all my games. If it's a game that I know I'll like, or if it's one of my favorite franchises, I'll buy it on its launch date. If it's a game that I'm not sure about, I'll wait a bit and watch lots of reviews and gameplay videos.

Anyway, let's drop the piracy talk. My other Galaxy 2 thread got locked for being too off topic, and I don't want this one to meet the same fate.

Just got the game now. The beginning is awesome.
