unoriginal? you're the one playing the same rehashes over and over again.

what nintendo games are rehashes? You need to shut the *censored.3.0* up. if you hate animal crossing and nintendo so much, leave this site you *censored.8.3*! go to an xbox forum where people actually care

When i signed up here I was a Nintendo kid. I know a bunch of people here so i still hang around in offtopic/gamers lounge. And LOL which games?? Have you not noticed that Zelda and Mario have a ridiculous amount of games in their franchise? No you probably haven't, because you've only been around for about 9 years (judging on the things you're saying) and haven't played half the games in the series you love.

hurrrrrr! they have a lot of games because they've been out for a really long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There comes a point where a good video game developer will come up with something new, and let go of their old series. For example; Bungie letting go of Halo with Reach.

They know they've reached the pinnacle of the series, and any more games would be cash cow rehashes. So they ended it on a good note.

David, FPS are one of the easiest and casual genres ever. It's just point and shoot.

And Zelda is run and swing your sword, and mario is press forward and jump. See? I can be ignorant too.

whoa, there.
zelda's fighting is run and swing, but a good majority of "bosses" and such require arrows, bombs, and whatever else i'm forgetting.
along with the whole puzzles and keys and *censored.2.0* aspect.

I've never played a halo game, but the majority of FPS games are, or dissolve into, mindless killing. sure there are different strategies to take while killing/shooting, but the end result is usually always the same.
i love bioshock, and i love the mindless killing that is tf2, but you can't say that both zelda and fps are on the same level of difficulty/anything.

partially because, herp derp, they're different genres.

what you're doing is basically video game's equivalent of rap vs. rock, in that neither side will never always win/be better.

god this thread is *censored.2.0*ty.

and i love how no one but tye touched my posts. lol @ this thread.

edit: not saying zelda, mario, or any nintendo franchise is being beaten to a pulp like the proverbial horse, just talking about comparing the games/genre to that of an FPS.

sorry i didn't clarify that sooner/to begin with.

You can't really tell whether a game is good or bad by... Not even playing :/ Ever heard of the phrase "Don't judge a book by it's cover"?

lol that bs phrase is SO overused. I just dont like the look of it. when i play games i imagine mario, sonic, kirby...all the fun bight colored game characters....not ugly dark characters like master chief.

I know how to make the games colorful. Since you obviously like bright and colorful things, go take some shrooms and play an FPS.

You sound like someone that grew up in a household where all the furniture is covered by plastic, the sharp edges have been cut off and rounded on anything wooden, and the knife cabinet is too tall for you - in other words, you're a protected, bubble child.
And there's a reason why that phrase is so overused - because it's true.
Just because you don't like the look of a game doesn't mean it's not good. From what I can tell, you're confined to Kirby, Mario, Sonic. Legend of Zelda typically doesn't have bright colors and is pretty violent. No Metroid for you. Even the 8-Bit/16-Bit OMG GUNZ! Never played an FPS in your life OMG! MORE GUNZ!
The reason why some FPSs look unoriginal is because some are based off of real life events.
My second guess, is that if you're a bubble boy, you're most likely homeschooled (Again, this is all basing this off of the fact you'd prefer colorful games over games with a hint of a storyline) and have never heard of any of the wars that this country has been through, so therefore, you wouldn't know what the games are based off of. Secondly, the reason why they look dark is because, if you haven't already noticed, war isn't a happy thing. When you walk into a battlefield, you don't ride in on unicorns into a field of daisies with a bright and shining sky with a rainbow over the field.

I'm turning into David

Also, that Nintendo's been around the longest is Bull*censored.2.0*. Sony and Sega was first. Then I think Microsoft. It wasn't until many failed attempts at other projects that Nintendo decided to enter the gaming industry.

It's not violence that people are freaking out over. It's the fact that there's warfare, modern violence, and mostly, blood.

>implying it only does that here.

@ the quote nook brought up of BB's, it's the parents being *censored.2.0*ty parents, not what is in the game themselves.

it isn't the game's fault that the kid is playing them, it's the parents. the game didn't force the kid to play it. no matter what this joke of a bill does, kids will still play the games, and the same retards of parents will *censored.4.0* and moan about their kids playing games that aren't suitable for kids.

tl;dr, games are no longer for children only.

It's not even that. It's the fact that parent's aren't having enough control over their 5 year old kids that play these things.

nope.

it's that the parents don't care enough to take control and be a parent.

20-something year old, (at very least, hopefully) against a 5 year old. unless there's some special circumstances, I'm going to say that a 20 year old should be able to outwit a 5 year old, even if they can't supervise them all the time.

like, i dunno, putting the game on top of a book shelf. or not buying it for their 5 year old kid to begin with.

little *censored.2.0*'s should be playing with those mega-blocks or something like that, not vidya.

except you said that the kids were playing them and that the parents had control, whereas i said that parents should be in enough control of their kids to not let a 5 year old get that game in the first place, ex: before they get/play them, not after.

whut.

I definitely think that the regulation of M-rated video games needs a lot of improving. Now, I may not like M-rated games myself, but I have nothing against them, and I certainly don't think that they should be downright banned. But they do need to be restricted from children. It's unbelievable what I see everyday at work. Little kids, no older than 7 or 8, having their parents buy them these ultra violent games with adult themes and situations... It's ridiculous. And I can't do a damn thing about it, because as long as the parent has an ID, I have to sell it to them. The problem is that some parents just don't give a damn about what their children play, which is really unfortunate. These little kids are probably going home and calling people *****es and telling them to *censored.3.0* off on Xbox Live while shooting them in a violent rage. Not exactly the best lifestyle for a 7-year-old, don't you think? Just think of how these kids are going to turn out when they're older. No, I'm not saying that they're going to become thieves and murderers from the overly violent games. But being introduced to these kind of games at that young of an age certainly isn't going to affect them in a positive way. Maybe when they're at least in their teens it won't be so much of a concern, but even then it's still too young for a lot of people. That's why the 17+ age restriction should be enforced much better.

You work in a game store

YOU ARE AWSEOME :O
