Bought my Wii just to play SSBB, just recently sold off the Wii (thank god demand is still high). Fckaing horrible game coming from someone who played melee competitively.

I loved it. He makes lots of valid points.

I never liked SSB, especially Brawl. I had the misfortn of being stuck with the Wii mote while playing with 3 other friends that all had Wavebirds. I proceeded to get owned because the Wii mote controller is awkward as all hell to use, too little buttons, too spaced apart.

It also sucked that because it was party game, and was fairly new, None of the characters were unlocked. So spending the next 20 minutes trying to Snake, we succeded. And then realized the game was boring us. Final Smashes break the game. Me being a total newbie, was able to get the Snake Smash, and proceed to kill everyone on the map within 15 seconds. Then with Meta knight, I started button mashing and got his tornado attack to work like 10 times in a row, and just juggled the other characters.

Granted it WAS fun for about 20 minutes, then we realized that we weren't having fun anymore. We all used every unlocked character, and fought on the unlocked maps. And that was it. The game is just monotonous after a bit and you never want to play again.

I also loved his attack on the fanboys on the end. Greenday at the end rounded it off perfectly.

QFT, everything he said was true.... so I don't see what the problem is.

- The character unlocking nonsense (Sonic and Snake are the most hyped characters, but you can't use them out of the box?)
- Repetitive singleplayer (SSB as usual)
-

I really love SSB (but only the multiplayer), and all of the things he said were true I know plenty of people who just can't enjoy this type of game, and that's fine.

I stopped looking at these after he slammed Mario Galaxy. Well, I'd only seen maybe two before that though, heh.

Because clearly the best way to go about life is to ignore and dislike anybody and everybody that believes different than you. :disgust:

Lol why would you listen to someone slam something you like?

I mean, I'm all for diverse viewpoints, but why listen to someone bash something you care for if your opinion of it isn't going to change and you aren't going to learn anything?

And apparently it wasn't that funny to ArmchairAthlete, but I don't think that makes him narrow minded or applicable to the statement made by gorcorps.

I laugh at most of Yahtzee's reviews, but this one simply wasn't funny. His reviews are funny because he takes elements I agree are horrible in games that I like and parades them infront of me (see Bioshock and Devil May Cry 4), but this was lacking in the SSBB review. Since I didn't agree with most of the points he made, the review didn't really strike me as funny, I suppose.

It was kind of funny. I like his humor, and I can understand a lot of the points he makes about SP, unlocking, etc... but IMHO SSBB is one of the best MP games I've played in a long time. I don't play games in general as much as I use to, but SSBB is one of those that's always on the menu if I'm just hanging out with friends.

 

[Dangerer]

yeah my girlfriend likes it.. I personally don't like it much, but then again it's because games like WoW have completely sucked me in

I dug this one up to post Yahtzee's response "I like the idea of a professional troll though. It makes me think of a hideous creature, living under a bridge, handing out business cards."

Love the console summary at the end too. :thumbsup:
