wow...some people are dumb...

I was just on IGN.com ( a relatively popular sometimes informative entertainment website, that reviews video games and movies and what not) and I had just read a review on Super Mario Galaxy. Now the game isn't out yet I believe it's coming out on November 12. I had nothing better to do (well that's a lie I should've been doing some work that's due on Saturday) so I started reading the comments about the review. OH MY GOD! some people are so stupid...

Out of context of course some of the comments were supporting the game (which I would like to play, but in all honesty I wouldn't go on a limb and just buy it, I'd either use a gift certificate or recieve it as a gift, I must save my money to buy Fire Emblem) and some well were not.

Don't get me wrong I appreciate people's opinions I really do. If they don't like the game that's fine. I'm not going to sit there and make them tell me 20 different reasons why they don't like the game. There are games I don't enjoy, and some games I enjoy alot.

First off I'll start by saying to people who complain about scores.

I know the score can make or break a game...but the game got a 9.7 out of 10 so I don't know why everyone's got their panties in a bunch that it didn't get a 10. In my personal opinion no game deserves a 10 because no game is perfect they all have flaws and usually something will be done really well, but there's always something that could've been done better.

Plus the game isn't even out yet and if it makes you feel any better just rate it yourself when you finish it, what can you do?

Secondly to everyone who hates the Wii sorely for the reason it's to 'kiddy'

Okay from an industry stand point let me say 2 words.

Target Market

Do you want to know why the majority of Wii games for a younger audience? Because that's where they make their money. Playstation and XBOX, yes they are both great systems, yes they have games that (sometimes) appeal to everyone, BUT most of those games have a T or M rating slapped on to them. Nintendo targets the E rating whenever it can.

Truthfully there's not that many childrens games for the XBOX360. Same with PS3 as much as I love that system I can pretty much say there's really no game on that system I would let any child under 14 play.

Nintendo has developed themselves around appealing to a younger audience. That's why a majority of the games on it are placed under 'Kiddy department', BUT if you've had care to browse among the many games the Wii has to offer you would notice there are some games that don't fit under that catergory. I highly doubt any person in there right mind would consider Resident Evil 4 a kids game...or how about Manhunt 2? the game that barely escaped a rating of AO (Adult only 18+) and the object of the game is to pretty much kill everything and everything in the most gruesome and twisted way? Call of duty 4? Metroid prime 3 isn't exactly a kids game either. I could go on, but unfortunately I have a life.

I just don't understand why people have to bash consoles like they do. It's not like telling nintendo the Wii sucks, or Sony thatPS3 sucks, or Microsoft that XBOX360 sucks, will make them stop manufacturing them, nor will it make people stop buying them.

GET OVER AND ACCEPT IT!

and FINALLY

Example: if you are going to go on a Nintendo based fan site or something like that and bash it...why the fuck are you there? Go outside or something. It's immature, and you're not proving anything by doing it. Frankly people will argue with you, but in reality no one will give a FUCK about what you have to say.

and I'm spent.
