I don't understand why you guys hate Double Dash so much. You all act like it is the same as Mario Kart Wii, but there is an important difference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-jWCnmjEe0 In Double Dash, pretty much any kart can dodge any homing attack, whether it is a blue shell or a red shell. In Mario Kart Wii, you can't do that unless you have a kart or bike that has a wide drift, and usually those are the ones that stink. Plus, there are less items in double dash due to less karts. Sure, you have special items, but Mario Kart Wii introduced a ton of cheap items that could be used by anybody. Therefore, the only item that can't possibly be dodged in Double Dash is the lightning bolt, and the time period for when it keeps you shrunk is less than in the Wii version, and it don't recall it being used nearly as much. In Mario Kart Wii, it is used almost every other race at least. In Double Dash, you can go for two, mabye three, races without getting one --- Official member of the Nintendo Defense Force http://i.neoseeker.com/n/2/nintendo_quality_seal.jpg |

Oh,
I don't hate Double Dash. It's just not as good as MK64. I never played
MKWii because, from what I read and heard about it, it only added to
the things I don't like about the series. --- http://img.imgcake.com/ultigardenpngba.png |

Double
Dash got Bobomb fights, that alone makes it better than that game
that's more popular but a lot worse than Diddy Kong Racing. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Dr_Football > Me |

Would
I be wrong in thinking that, because this is games, and not characters,
some games like, say, The Sims, or Diablo II, or even Wii Sports
(think: games that a bunch of people have played, but with no real
characters, so to speak) could come out of nowhere and rock? Hell, even
some of the modern shooters like MW2 could get a boost, simply by the
virtue of their online play being s'damn fun. What I'm saying is, I want to see The Sims vs. Melee in the finals. --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Guru winnah Explicit Content, that's quis. |

Masato_Tanaka | Posted 9/2/2010 4:11:20 PM | message detail |
Any reason why? Afraid it'd flop? Cause I think as far as SW games go, it's probably pretty high up in there in a lot of people's minds. I'd argue that it would at least be on par with KOTOR. And at worst it's probably only a little weaker. --- Elephant Talk: A New Kind Of Music Blog! http://elephantmusictalk.blogspot.com/ |

From: Ngamer64 | #465 um You're aware he is quite used to and expects this sort of thing, right. It's in his job description and everything.

Does anyone in this topic besides me care about Star Wars Battlefront II? Just curious really. Care about it? Care about it? I LOVE IT!!! Definitely the most played game on my PC (free mods for the win!). Great multiplayer, great modding community, and, well, great modding community. That alone makes the game amazing. You can pretty much make another campaign, a ton of maps with your own objects, custom skins, custom characters, I can go on forever. Definitely one of the most underrated games I ever played. Also, Lucasarts are a bunch of ****ing idiots for not releasing bf3 yet! If they released Force Unleashed III before Bf3, then they really shouldn't be making video games. --- Official member of the Nintendo Defense Force http://i.neoseeker.com/n/2/nintendo_quality_seal.jpg |

I
have a ton of good memories from bf2 about the clan I was in...some of
it was kinda screwed up (for example, our leader dreamed of ****ing
another clan member that he claimed he had an obsession over), but
those were good times... --- Official member of the Nintendo Defense Force http://i.neoseeker.com/n/2/nintendo_quality_seal.jpg |

From: Masato_Tanaka | #474 You may be right; I misremembered how it did in the GotY-polls: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2251 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2253 2005 was a weak year in general, but it's not like losing to God of War is some particular embarrassment or anything. I'm guessing it probably hasn't help up as well as many other games as well, just because I haven't heard anything about the Battlefront-games in a long time...but it could maybe win a match with a weak opponent. Still not taking it to get close to SW:KotOR though! I stand partially corrected. Also, interesting old poll I found: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=866 --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate EPONA here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/55150177 |

Hey
I just got this idea...if Lucasarts actually does something good and
announces bf3, bf2 might be able to do somewhat decent and get through
a few rounds. --- Official member of the Nintendo Defense Force http://i.neoseeker.com/n/2/nintendo_quality_seal.jpg |

From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #478 The only thing I'll kinda-agree with here. A lot of the older games have people unsure about whether or not they were in this decade.
