At least it makes more sense for the FE series. You can't really say "it's how you play the character".

No thanks. That would also increase my chances of running into you-know-who. Ike is already ruined for me.

Here's another one I have. Square-Enix and everything about them is crap.

Well except for their recent buy-out of Eidos and cgi-art. Other than that they've hardly been an actual gaming company for over a decade.

Oh my god this. You know what? I actually despise whiny, elitist SSB "pro-players".

"Oh my god I don't have the skill to fight against a person using Meta-Knight, BAN BAN BAN!"

"I don't know how to air dodge, BAN ALL THE ITEMS!!"

Seriously shut up and get some skill, I entered a tourney for fun once and people had no trouble beating MK users. And no I don't use MK or rely on items.

No dude, Metaknight really is just a busted character. Even people who defended him being reasonable eventually saw the light after a while.

I simply don't see the point of even -playing- a game like smash in a competitive setting honestly, anyway. With items on, Metaknight isn't as big a problem.

And yes, Items are random which in turns degenerates the skill of the game, but why on earth are people so concerned with skill in a game like this to begin with puzzles me.

Personally I agree, perhaps the only game from them that I would consider a good game and not a done to death movie was Super Mario RPG, and then even with that they decided to be total dicks to nintendo, I'm not too sure about what they tried to do with the rights of mario and friends but all the new characters like Geno and Exor were pretty much snatched away from Nintendo like pulling the rug straight out from under them, I don't think they've partnered up for anything since then.

They don't even remotely fit with the Mario setting. Geno and Exor were able to exist in Mario RPG because it brought in more traditional fantasy elements in general.

If Nintendo did have the rights to those characters, they'd be horribly out of place whenever they got used.

MAYBE Mallow could stand a chance but nobody likes him, anyways.

Technically Geno was in SuperstarSaga.
But its kind of a "blink and you'll miss it moment."

It'd be easier to list what characters I don't play as. So to me, tiers had no meaning.

Re: Your "Controversial" Gaming Opinion

One that I've disovered almost immediately, and I consider it worth posting here because I'm aware of how condescending and generalizing it sounds:

The most abundant complaints towards, and haters of, Skyward Sword as a game are the ones who just suck the most at it and either don't realize it, or are the least willing to adjust to it. I can honestly say most of TP's haters have better reasons to rag on that game than SS' do (not saying much, but did it ever have to be?).

Re: Your "Controversial" Gaming Opinion

How can one not be good at a Zelda game?

You can almost do it in your sleep.

It's not like it ATLUS hard.

In the past decade, yes...this is most definitely true. In the old days, Square was pretty damn cool. Making decent games with pretty cool stories and junk. Nowadays? Nah. Now its like "how angsty can we make the protagonist? How stupidly complicated can we make a battle system? How many zippers and belts can we put in character design?" No one Monolith Soft went "You guys can go eat dicks." D:<

Enix was pretty cool at one time too....

I agree, although I did find FFXII to be enjoyable, as well as The World Ends With You. Other than that, I haven't found Square Enix's games to be that enjoyable aside from remakes and ports, and games not made by SE, just published by SE.

Re: Your "Controversial" Gaming Opinion

Square's got Radiata Stories, FFXIII

That's really all I've really enjoyed from them.

Well, maybe tactics as well.

ATLUS is the best RPG developer.

And while i'm thinking of it, I really liked Star Ocean. Also Published by Square, but made by Tri-Ace.

Tri-Ace is a great developer.
