GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[Koopaul]

Ugh I try and try and try to promote certain games and none of my friends will listen.

some people dont like being told constantly about things. the best way to get people interested is by playing the game in their face rather than telling them about it.

To my friend who loves Fire Emblem: Code Name S.T.E.A.M.

I told him it's made by the same team and is a turn based strategy game.

To my friend who loves action games: The Wonderful 101

I told him its an insanely action packed game made by the same guy who did Viewtiful Joe!

I showed them footage and talked about them... they kinda shrugged. I think the reason is simple. They're new and different. People don't want to bother trying new and different things, and if they do, they don't even give them much of a chance.




Anyway on to the the DKC discussion. I admit the motion controls are shit of course but besides that I don't see a problem. The trigger buttons to grab things is rather neat. It gives you the sensation you are gripping on to and holding something. When you're gripping for dear life to that grass above you while the ground is being destroyed? It's quite a sensation. I guess that's what they were trying with the motion controls too, but in a game that requires precise timing, a waggle may kill you.

Everything seemed fine in Tropical Freeze though.
