Don't even give him the attention, he deliberately writes bad articles for the sake of riling up negativity and get hits.
You're doing exactly what he wants by starting this topic.

Seems to me if everyone knows who this guy is and knows about his poor reviewing, why bother take any notice of his Kid Icarus review?

I think Kid Icarus Uprising is going to be great but with that said, you can't deny it is a terrible sequel. It brings nothing back from the original game.

I don't put much stock into fucken reviews any way. If a game looks good in gameplay vids and it seems like it might be my kind of game I'll try it out. Reviews are just fucken opinions and like assholes everybody has one.

Wow, what a stupid review. I played the demo and while the controls do need some work, they're no where near as bad as he makes them out to be in that review. In my opinion, if you don't know how to do your job properly, than you don't deserve to do it.

But thats the funny thing. This job is to tell people his opinion about these things.

I haven't played the game myself, though I had no problems with MPH controls, so I doubt this would be much of a problem for me.

I need to go cancel that damn pre-order right now jesus christ how can a game be this bad?
Please, PLEASE, PLEASE. Tell me your being sarcastic.
I'm pretty sure he is... because any hardcore gamer would have known not to get it in the first place as soon as they heard it isn't first
person and doesn't use two analog sticks.
/s

Seriously tho, it annoying(?) when people post things like CCNaru and are serious about it.

Yep you're like me. I actually rather find it comfortable in a way. Thumbs up for slightly bigger hands in my case. Makes it easier to hold a 3DS with on hand. XD

I tend to trust my own opinions and the 'temp more than the reviewers- if we only bought the reviewers 'best games ever' nobody would buy Rune Factory or Monster Hunter and our collections would be lines of FPS's and Football/Soccer games.

The good thing with 3DS games is you can complete them and make 98% of what you paid back on Ebay so the risk is pretty low

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol
    +3
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted
    +2
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves

    because self deprecating humor is important, as long as it doesn't turn into self hate. because you can't really make fun of anyone if you can't even make fun of yourself
