  • I bought Bouncer...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt Helvetica, Modern; text-align: left; '>Pretty cool game... The fighting system is a lot like the free fight mode from Shen Mue, but with improvements. The graphics are incredible... except for one thing, they're blurry as FUCK. Square was trying to make everything look realistic but they took it a little too far. I feel like I fucked up when I play this game.</div>

I still don't have a few characters for the versus mode, and I didn't get to buy everything for everybody so there is still a little more replay left.</div>

Reviewers can be told to give a game good reviews even if it sucks (heck look at nintendo power and psextreme for example).</div>

I don't have an opinion of bouncer either way since I haven't played it yet, BTW.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Garamond, Modern; text-align: left; '>...it's not that difficult a concept...there are many games I'd have paid 100 dollars for and not felt ripped off because of the enjoyment I received from them, and I'm sure you could say the same in spite of what the "gaming community" at large thinks...

at least I hope you can and that you are still capable of thinking for yourself and have not completely given yourself over to the evil gaming press collective and their over-inflated ego's and half-assed opinions based on unfinished demo's of games in genres they don't even like to begin with *deep breath*

so before you go off and tell someone they wasted their money maybe you should ask yourself how much you would have paid for the privilege to play what you consider to be one of your favorite games and how you would respond to someone telling you that you got ripped off by spending a penny on what you might consider to be one of the more enjoyable experiences of your life because we really don't have that many great experiences in these short lives of ours *deep breath*

so try to remember that one man's garbage is another's treasure, that their is no truth beyond the truth of the individual, and that the Bouncer or any other game is something to be experienced for yourself, not secondhand, if you want to have an actual valid opinion that matters in the topic that was presented by manaman...</div>
