Thread: Tea in the Garden

I just came back from the collage im going to and in sulking over the fact that I wont be able to get the 3DS XL due to how much my books for my classes will cost....Darn! I really wanted somthing larger so my eyes dont hurt when playing those 3D games!

HA HA 3DS HURTS YOUR EYES HA HA.

Hey, one of my friends suffers negative effects from that console's 3D feature as well...it's not funny. :/

I finally took the time to fill out my friend codes and stuff.

I play with 3D off, just a stupid gimmick imho. Doesn't even look that good, wastes a bunch of power, give me a headache after like, 3 minutes. I could rage about the gimmicky stuff Nintendo's been doing...but I'll try not to because it'd be a page of tl'dr.

Try not to, try not to...

Must I remind you that Walt Disney has done some gimmicky things with their movies and rides, and they all worked, so 3D without glasses is kinda like a revolutionary thing. Otherwise, you'll be just like the people who believe Nintendo will fall.

Hey! i dont think that Nintendo will fail,I think they might last into the 22nd centery but i dont like how small anymore the screens are...I played on the DSi XL and I was like "Wow finally a netbook that I dont need to get real close to see!"

I was about to get that 3DS XL but my budget seems like it will be really tight...But i am greedy sort of and want all the coins in the New Super Mario Bros. 2 game...

if your not getting the 3DS XL but you like money...Get the new mariio game thats all about the coins!!

tl;dr comin'

3D without glasses might be revolutionary, but it's no fun if it isn't done right. Although that applies to anything...but still. I don't really have a problem with the 3DS, but I loathe the Wii. I only play Gamecube games and games that let you you a normal controller (SSBB, Mario Kart, etc.) because the whole motion control think is just too broken and gimmicky. When I got Skyward Sword, it was my first time using the motion-plus thing. Still completely broken. I actually never finished SS because of that. I don't really like the looks of the WiiU either but...eh. People will always love things because they're different. I just get annoyed with the whole motion control/touchscreen gaming scene because I like using a standard controller. Sadly though, within the next few years, it'll probably be all motion based anyway, and I'll just be in a corner playing my NES ;_;

tl;dr: I like using a normal controller, not motion stuff. Also, thinking that doesn't mean I think Nintendo will fall.

It just mean that you're too use to the old ways of video games like the rest of the hardcore gamers, which was the GCN's original target and led to Nintendo being dead last like the last console war.

Well, by gum, I'm sticking to my hardcore ways! Even if it means playing some consoles that are 10 years old!

...on a more serious note, I think the Cube failed cause the hardcore gamers like, well, hardcore games. Sadly Nintendo is always lacking that department, so that's probably why they switched to motion stuff. Even for the Kinect and PS Move, the games for those are more casual oriented.

Because casuals are the bigger audience than the hardcore. The PS2 attracted casuals with the built-in DVD player for example, which led to the Dreamcast's, which was a revolution in its time, untimed demise.

Nintendo being behind in terms of storage didn't help any. They stuck with cartridges for the N64 when discs could hold more space, and in an attempt to prevent copies being made, they kept GCN discs small. Which means they were still behind in terms of storage when compared to Microsoft and Sony.

Crisis averted.

We have very different definitions of "tl;dr". xD

At first I was annoyed by the controls in SS (couldn't figure out how to fly my Loftwing lol), but after about an hour I had it relatively down pat (some of my sword strikes still get flubbed up. Motion Plus is supposed to be more sensitive to your movements, why the hell is my diagonal strike being turned into a horizontal one, etc.? --;)

I can understand where you're coming from though. You're not really acting out the movements of the game, you're just flinging your arm around (unless it's one of those dance games) which ends up translating to a set of movemnts in the game. Do I have that right?
But we'll still have everything up to the Gamecube. ^^

Also, I love how you used your link buttons for messages. xD

I haven't touched Skyward Sword in months, lol. I was so excited for it, got the gold controller and everything. Now I just use it for Wario Ware...guess I'll have to pick up on it again sometime. The controls can be wonky, but I guess you just gotta get used to it. Still wish there was a standard controller option though.

Yeah, I used all my link/friend codes areas for useless little details. Sadly I couldn't fit in the parts of how much I love broccoli and how cute it is, or my favorite types of sandwiches :<

I got to the second round of the final battle, but ended up being killed. :c Would've tried again but I had to go to work the next morning (my arm was sore the whole next day from all the shield bashing. Never used it as much as I did for that fight. xD) That was about...4 months ago? I haven't touched it since, lol.

Aw. :( You should request more linky sites be added!

I never got used to the controls for Skyward Sword. Im not used to playing that kind of game and motion controls.

Then Skyward Sword is a controversial game.
