From: LOLContests | #399 But they are. Golden Sun would likely be even more popular as a console release. Console releases from big-name series are always more popular than their handheld brethren, Pokemon being the lone exception. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

From: NoDicePwn | #392 I... have to agree with Albion... but only about halfway. This website has some serious issues when it comes to games like GTA. As much as they'll fight against figures like Hillary Clinton and Jack Thompson, they'll still whine about "HURR DURR MINDLESS MURDER SIMULATOR RAP MUSIC FRAT BOYS" Trust me, I've been down that road. Took buying GTAIV a few years after its release to set me straight. --- I like how each new topic you make reveals such varied facets of your idiocy. - foolmo Now this is entertainment! |

Also LOVING the whining here, it feel so good. I love GS, absolutely love it.

From: Denzokuken | #412 I joke around about that a lot, but I won't consider it proven until we get Barret into a contest. Ganondorf might prove the contrapositive, assuming you believe he's a black character. How about Kratos, from God of War? Do we consider him black? --- ·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· http://www.last.fm/user/Ultimaterializr |

Console releases from big-name series are always more popular than their handheld brethren, But that's b/c the handheld brethren are always much more low tech than their main series counterparts. If Golden Sun was on Gamecube it would probably be more popular, but that's because it would have so much more to it. If it was released on GC with the same graphics/technology I doubt it'd be any more popular. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Dr. Football beat me, Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest! |
kinsho3 | Posted 11/29/2010 9:24:51 AM | message detail |
From: NoDicePwn | #392 Golden Sun is most definitely NOT the game of the decade. But I don't understand why people get upset when they see their favorite games lose here. I know this has been stated over and over again, but it's a popularity contest, period. I find it hard to believe people haven't learned this after 7-8 years of contests. Metroid Prime is my absolute favorite game of the decade, but I'll have no qualms about it if it loses to Half-Life 2/Fallout 3/Melee/etc. --- It takes a genius to make something simple truly great.

The way I see it, while this match is bad for my bracket, there are a couple advantages to this result. 1) In 12 hours, I'll be on the Battle leaderboard. 2) At lest there won't be any topics complaining about FFX winning against Golden Sun, or at lest I hope so. 3) I kinda hated SA anyway. --- A pro isn't someone who sacrifices himself for his job.

Oh. Guess I was thinking you were using it like some vague positive term. Like being legit just meant being a cool/awesome/good/better person or something. I don't know, don't mind me, I just jumped in midway. |

YES GO GOLDEN SUN Also hey Ulti, atrocious timing I know but you should really read someone's post before you call them a hypocrite with no reading comprehension. There's a certain irony there you see. I don't know you personally. I aim to make no claims about how you are in real life. What I can see though is your behaviour on the board. It's negative, everyone here sees it as negative. Quit it. I could go deeper, especially about your ludicrous claims about human mating behaviour(there have been studies on this you might find... Interesting). But I just want to put aside such inane, obnoxious arguments. I'm tired of you making everything about yourself, and I'm sure we're all tired of your Jerkass superior attitude. I don't especially care what ridiculous, illogical, "I didn't read the post" retort you have because there's a more pressing matter. You can do it GS! --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

Yeah people who don't like me love doing the "Ulti isn't legit" thing, even when it's been proven by multiple people I am legit. Nobody cares about your legitimacy, it's you the one searching for validation by feeling the need to be on a high horse above everyone else. I've come across a fair share of tools on GameFAQs but the fact you actually seem moderately intelligent whilst still having such a pathetic, condescending attitude means you probably take the cake when it comes to the biggest. I'm done with this conversation though, not because i'm some sort of anti-social in your ill-educated assumptions (which seems to be a trend with you after labling games rubbish despite knowing nothing about them in that Wii topic), but because i'm anti-stupid. If you want to continue babbling to youself, the most you'll get from me is a feeling of sorry for you. --- Did you know that? No? Neither did i. |

From: NoDicePwn | #392 SA was overrated, Vice city was so much better. GS is one of those games people don't talk about a lot but remember fondly on the GBA. It's amazing how people are dismissing it as some trash, you're entitled to your own opinion but i rate the games highly, as do a lot of people.
