From all the games that ruins friendships, there's one that takes them all.

MONOPOLY!!!

But I agree with your statement.

...Have you ever played Dokapon Kingdom? It's Mario Party x Monopoly with some RPG elements, including being able to fight other players and take their stuff if you win. (or, alternatively, change their hairstyle or INGAME NAME) I don't think I've ever seen a game that had so many options to fuck over other players.

A series with so many Nintendo characters in it is probably a big part of why it gets so much hype. I know that gets me interested. Unfortunately, actually playing, I just don't really like it for whatever reason. But that's okay, other people like it so let them have their game.

Never played it, but the fact that it fuses 2 games that already ruins friendships to make a bigger one, with his own twist, I cannot fathom how many friendships it has already destroyed

if you don't know why it's popular you're either trolling or full-on retarded.

Also as far as platformer brawlers go, there's really nothing better control wise. Crisp and smooth as hell. Further making it super obvious why others like it yet you don't. You just dislike the genre. I mean it's pretty obvious.

What game does suck is PlayStation All Stars, I mean, why do so many like that?

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was a solid brawler that got a lot of undeserved hate from people who probably never played it. I had a fun time playing the game and no, before someone inevitably makes the comparison, it does not play anything like Smash. Aside from the core idea of being a party brawler, the game is completely different.

Fair enough, maybe I just don't understand the reasons why games are hated or liked, from what I played, the control scheme and mechanics felt clunky on All Stars, the stages felt lifeless, the character choices were well, baffling. As a person who grew up on SSB, I much prefer it over other brawling games. People can hate SSB all they want but really, a thread like this could mention any other popular franchise out there and the cycle would repeat.

I see. So, pairing up Big Daddy and Ratchet is outrageous, but Samus Aran versus Ness is okay? I don't think so - you're just used to one character set more so than the other. As for the controls, I played on the PSVita and I don't remember them being clunky.

It's a nice party game.

It's fun unless you decide to get serious about it and then things may go wrong.

On second thought, I leave my thoughts to myself regarding the matter, heh. I just didn't have a very good first impression from the game, that's all.

If Sony had released a Public Demo for PlayStation's Super Smash Bros. then perhaps sales would've been better and that'd have allowed people to try the game out.

I remember they had the public beta but at that time I didn't want to take part and then I just couldn't play it unless I bought it and the problem is I feel very sceptical if I'll like it. But hell, since I love Smash then this one will be pretty good too.

BlackWizzard17 · Sep 18, 2014

One great thing about PlayStation Allstars is it had cross buy being able to pay 60 bucks for both games playable on the PSVita and PS3.
For smash bros you buy both and you only get a free sound track CD that is most likely gonna be pirated.
I'm still most likely gonna buy both versions, I'm also really interested as to how the online community is gonna be as I like competition

I like this new Smash Bros. because you can make Mii characters as fighters and customize them. So many new features as well that I like. No hype with this game. Nintendo just packed so much into it that everyone is really seeing that this is a good game that will keep you busy.

WiiCube_2013 · Sep 18, 2014

Not everyone who owns a PS3 would care to be a Vita owner, I'd rather own two PS3s than a Vita since both have a much better gaming catalogue.

And as for the CD being pirated, well yeah sure, like everything gets pirated (I'm going to rip it to FLAC when I get my own copy anyway). Vita hasn't been hacked because the Vita scene seems to not be that interested in doing so.

Nintendo's probably going to be making prints of the CD of Smash 4 in limited quantities so there'll be a market for this, plus, don't forget that the music is spectacular, I love it!

I skipped past a few pages mainly because I'm sure someone threw some shit, someone ducked, hit someone else, now there's a shit fight. Which is kind of like how SSB started.

I'm not as big of a fan anymore but that's because brawl really sucked a lot of the fun out of SSB. Melee was awesome, hell you got to play as Mewtwo, Bowser, AND Ganondorf which blew my freakin mind when I was a kid. Brawl added more characters but it didn't seem like they put a lot of thought into making them as fun.. even the original characters felt like they lacked something. You had more items too but they lacked that shine the other two games had. You had more stages but the majority of them didn't feel as great, it was like the spirit of the game vanished and to make matters worse your characters could trip somehow o.O

I dunno I might be the only one but to answer the question why the hype? when you were a kid(if you were back then) and this game came out it was awesome. The first time I heard of this game was when I seen the commercial and as soon as I did I knew I had to play this game. You got to play as your favorite Nintendo characters in interactive stages with some of the coolest items in a fighting game since.. well ever! no other fighting game at that time appealed more to me or anyone else I knew(well to kids at least). This was a game you played with your friends and beat the shit out of each other for the lolz. Melee was no different and I think Brawl ruined a lot of that old time fun with it's shitty online mode. I could look past the other stuff but the shitty online mode ruined it for me

That's my opinion though and I'm sure others will disagree.

Because the series is fantastic? i dunno?

P.S. I love all the people calling smash a "party game" lol just cause you suck doesn't mean the game isn't competitive, that's hilarious honestly.

That's just it, it is a party game. Playing competitively is an option (and I must say, high-level play is quite impressive)

Now if you're talking competitive as in throwing things at your friends...

But Melee didn't even have an online mode. How was that better than a shitty one? (I will admit Brawl online sucked ass)
