In North America, it's one of the bigger gaming sites, they even managed to nab an interview with him. The Ziff Davis and IGN networks are pretty big too, so I'm sure he's heard of it.Dutch wrote:But he wrote it on 1up, I doubt Miyamoto even knows of the existence of that site, so it doesn't make a lot of sense.Zeus wrote:Miyamoto commented on it and gun-based vehicle games hence the retort by JaffeDutch wrote:Miyamoto didn't do Mario Kart, Konno did.
Nah, 1up's tiny, much less popular than even Gamespy or Kotaku. Some small sites are cool, I like to look in on Magicbox regularly, and Gamerankings and Penny Arcade every now and then. I don't particularly have much respect for 1up though, every time I read 1up it seems to be something dumb; like giving solid B+ titles like Bully, or C titles like Fire Pro Wrestling a 10/10 while putting down more deserving titles. Not to mention their stupid articles like the one on the Final Fantasy series. Their staff also blows.Zeus wrote:In North America, it's one of the bigger gaming sites, they even managed to nab an interview with him.

I just don't see why you bother giving a ghetto gaming site like 1up any weight to their opinions.Andrew, Killer Bee wrote:oh god every time
This is an interesting observation!bovine wrote:does it mean that it was a decision from the top in order to distance themselves from more user-content based blog sites like destructoid and to a lesser extent, Kotaku? Who knows, but it's certainly something.
IGN's used to be terrible too, but they have grown up quite a bit. There is a lot of quality posting there now.bovine wrote: Also, go read the gametrailers forums. Go read it for me. They are all either retards, ESL individuals, or retarded ESL individuals. Everytime I visit their site there is a "help me choose a game to buy" thread up on their frontpage. Worst forum population in the entire universe. There is nothing constructive going on in there.
Most of what I don't know is not worth knowing. Everything I have seen of it indicates this.

Well since that was a reference to 1up.com it is indeed true that most of what I don't know about that site is not worth knowing, because it is not relevant.Kupek wrote:Just in case anyone missed it.Dutch wrote:Most of what I don't know is not worth knowing.
If pointing out how ridiculous your posts were is sensitive in your world, then yes you are both right (but only by your definition of the word) and foolish looking (when considering the conventional definition of the word), but overall you're probably just an idiot.Manfarb wrote:I dunno . he seems to have gone all sensitive. or that could me my Mental level breakdown speaking.....because not liking vista for legit reasons makes me insane MUAHAHAHAHAHAH DI MOTHER FUCKERS DIE!Andrew, Killer Bee wrote:Also!Several of us have been attacking Seeker for years.

when have I denied being an idiot. I know exactly what I am. I'm crazy and don't take many things in life outside of my job and comics seriously.....if you take me seriously....well....then you are an idiot. it's quite obvious that I like fucking with poeple.

While they may be the best (and I don't agree, I feel Def Jam Vendetta or Fight for New York is the best), that still wouldn't warrant a 10 since wrestling games are mostly terrible, well at least the majority of WWE ones are.

The people who have been playing this series for 10+ years don't mind the graphics, don't find the UI clunky...they love the fact that it has 7 trillion characters and moves up the ass. They love the gameplay and the series for years because it's fun and an awesome wrestling game.
I forgot to mention, Famitsu gave it a 30/40 which is 75%, not a whole lot higher. I have also never seen a Fire pro Wrestling game on Japanese sales charts, or North American ones.Zeus wrote:In Japan, where the series has been released for years, it's not a "C" title.
Since the first grade.Zeus wrote:And since when is 7/10 a "C"?
Check Gamerankings sometime. The average game is a 7/10. When you say it's a "C", you're implying that it's below average.Dutch wrote:Since the first grade.Zeus wrote:And since when is 7/10 a "C"?

On what grounds? Where is it written that half right is average? You're assuming there should be a linear mapping from the test score to the grading system, when there is no reason there should be. Getting a C does not mean you have "half knowledge," but that you performed competently. The fact that you can get an F while still doing a lot right is important - both in school and in games.RentCavalier wrote:Even if you get half the test right, you still fail it. In a logical world, getting half the test right would equal a C, which is the "middle" grade.
