Y hallo thar, young one...

I see you've become a regular contributer. Welcome to SmashWiki! (Like above) And keep up the work. (Jus' felt like talking. (Oh, and I'm TBB, and I like... to... do... Stuff!*cough*iliketopwnpeople*cough*) Anyways, hi! ~Teh Blue Blur~~You're too slow!~ 09:53, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

"Young one"? This from someone whose profile clearly states that they're minus two months old? Anyway, thanks, and "hi!" back. Oh, and call me PoD. Penguin sounds... like a Batman villain... PenguinofDeath 15:21, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I get'cha. The "young one" part was kinda a joke. Well, if you think about it, you're kinda new here, so I guess that does kinda make some sense. ~Teh Blue Blur~~You're too slow!~ 17:27, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Just curious

Okay, I looked at your comment on the Smash Arena which raised a question for me: What's your opinion of a "good" game? I mean, are you aware that Super Mario Galaxy sold over 8 million copies and every Publication review (like GameSpot, GameSpy, GamesRader, Edge, Allgame, etc.) gave it at least 90% on the score? If that's not a good game, I don't know what is, so I'm just curious as to what your opinion of a "good" game is. Enigmatic Mr. L (talk) 21:40, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

You presumed that I was being objective. I wasn't, I simply don't like any of the recent Mario games. Take Super Mario Sunshine, for example. <opinion> That had no plot whatsoever, and the height of gameplay was going round with F.L.U.D.D. cleaning up graffiti. Mario64, though I didn't especially like the style of gameplay in that either, was at least slightly better. It was also one of the first two games to be in 3D (the other being The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and they were in 2.5D but whatever), but it looks pretty much the same as all the games that came after it. Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Sunshine have the same old gameplay (roughly), so look like cheap sequels. Evolution of gameplay is what makes games great. For example: the Legend of Zelda series; the Age of Empires series (except AoE III and the expansions because they had way too much new stuff in them); Sid Meier's Civilisation series; of course, the Super Smash Bros. series. If there's no originality in a game, it's not a good game, it's an old game. Unless it's shamelessly a continuation, like Golden Sun: The Lost Age which wasn't as good as Golden Sun but which was still an amazing game even though it had identical gameplay. However, if they were to release Golden Sun 3, Golden Sun 4 and Golden Sun 5 at any point, the gameplay would have to change or no one would be buying by the time Golden Sun 5 came out. </opinion>
