At first I read that as "Enter The (Hanna-Montana) Matrix" and I thought this forum had gone insane. Glad I just wasn't paying enough attention.

Quote:I can understand why you don't like to watch him. But I still feel he doesn't really talk down to his audience, you're just not part of his target audience. Whenever he talks crap about movie audiences, it never effects him negatively because his target audience are the people who agree with him. He's not trying to change anyone's mind, he's preeching to the choir which can often be apparent by the comments that are left on his videos.Originally Posted by Lastjustice
Ultimately he just rubs me the wrong way. It's not like he's just saying overly offensive stuff purely for shock value like say Yahtzee does. It's just looks like standard process for distressed watcher. (if I wanted view something that talks down to my audience I'd read something by Mark Millar.) He's just not a likeable person to watch so I dont. It's just that simple. -

No this the second time he's done it. He didn't have any haha I'm just kidding or trying back peddle when he did it the first time.

Somehow that still doesn't mean people should be rounded up in internment camps for liking as he suggested. Like Chris said...he wanted to see Piranha 3-D. Somehow I doubt that was a better movie than Revenge of the Fallen.
Distressed Watcher can not seem go too many vids without insulting the human race. Being such a joyless individual who seems hate everything makes it really hard put much stock in his stance. It's one thing to nerdrage it up, It's really hard to get fans when you're taking such sweeping over generalizes on the public all the time. There's movie I didn't like the public did.(which i nerdrage over plenty.) I'm not going suggest the world needs reeducation because of it. He crosses that line all too often. -
Quote:I'd probably agree with you up until I remember that movie audiences allowed Transformers 2 to be successful which is just not acceptable.Originally Posted by ChrisMoses
That guy needs to **** off. Insulting "movie audiences" is not the way to earn fans. Especially when he later says he had intended to see "Piranha 3D."

Why do some people on the internet think I want to watch a video of them reading a list? This isn't TV, just post your five reasons. It would also spare us his mispronunciation of "Cera".
I'd probably hate Shia less if he didn't get put in roles that felt tacked on. Yahtzee randomly pointed out that he's in Transformers because we can't relate to robots and he's in Indiana Jones because we can't relate to a man who's past his 30s.Quote:Originally Posted by Father Xmas
Shia LeBeouf (other than the over saturation of Shia). -
Quote:My point was since they were putting it on the PS2 (largely because next gen systems were new and they knew they had potential customers with the PS2), there was already a graphically weaker version of the game being made. Infact there are a lot of games that are cross plattform on the PS2 and the Wii even now. Because they are closer in graphical capability, meanwhile cross platform with Wii and other next gen systems... not so much.Originally Posted by Manofmanychars
What is that even supposed to mean? M:UA was on all three next-gen consoles, with the Wii version having noticeably less-good graphics. Pretty cut and dry.

I haven't seen it, but all I can say is that people should be thankful for getting a well reviewed movie that sticks to the source without having to span more movies that won't be made. At least this didn't end up like the Losers, Terminator: Salvation, or The Last Airbender.

Quote:It's certainly gonna be interesting. I wonder how they'll handle the differences going into the sequel. I mean he didn't get the girl in the comic so wouldn't that likely have a big impact on the story between the two?Originally Posted by That_Ninja
It's called Kick-*** 2: Balls to the Wall. Knowing Millar, it will be completely underwhelming then someone will make it into a good movie.

Quote:You're right! Hannah Montana: The Movie: The Game was across all systems. Boy are we thankful for that!Originally Posted by Cantatus
There are already a number of games that are done across all three platforms, with the Wii's graphics obviously lower (the PS3 and 360's graphics typically differ as well).

Quote:I hate to admit you might have a point. The Super Mario 3 nostalgia wouldn't have been as strong back then since the game would have been to recent.Originally Posted by Solos
But what is the demographic for that game? (I honestly have no idea) What Nintendo did right this time is market the Wii to people who would impulse buy it for the waggle stick and aren't really in to gaming traditionally. I'd also venture to guess that the original Nintendo generation are reaching an age where they have their own kids and want something to play with them. My argument is that it's a time sensitive issue, you can't extrapolate data from today and assume it would be true in the mid 90s.

Quote:Basicly WWF went a very long time with no competition at all. Then Ted Turner randomly decided "I want me some of that wrasslin stuff!" and bought a wrestling company. Turning it into WCW. At first it was very very bad even by wrestling standards, but Ted had tons of money to throw at it even more then Vince ever could hope to do with WWF. So he started playing dirty and hiring the big name guys off of WWF. Which led to WWF getting absolutely destroyed for awhile. But getting dominated like that actually forced Vince to try for the first time in like ever. But that's where the comparison would really end because once Vince started fighting back it became apparent that WCW was run by a bunch of corporate morons who had no idea what they were doing and it fell apart.Originally Posted by Solos
Could you explain this analogy for the non-manchildren?
You could easily say Sony did the same thing to Nintendo. Sony forced them to actually try instead of just rest on their laurels.
Yet New Super Mario Bros Wii is the top selling game of 2010... and it came out in 2009.Quote:Originally Posted by Solos
That's great and all for you gaming connoisseurs but when your customers have grown to teen/early 20s you're probably not going to be winning them all over with Banjo Kazooie when they could be playing Metal Gear Solid or Gran Turismo or something. -

Someone post a link to his front page or whatever he has please.
Also the reason Sony succeeded was because Nintendo kept making games for babies when their original customers were growing up. Now they are somehow successful again by making games for babies and old people.
BTW LOL at anything that's not rated M being for babies. Heaven forbid an adult enjoy something that doesn't have blood gushing left and right.
I think the best comparison to what happened to Nintendo is what happened to WWF when WCW got strong. The only difference is that unlike WCW, Sony isn't completely retarded. -
I thought this was going to be about who we love, to which I was gonna say girl Ranma. Now I don't know what to say.
Darn it thread, I am dissapoint. -
Gamecube actually did have online play. The problem is... the developers didn't use it. There were both a dial up and broadband internet adapters made for the system but PSO was the only game to use them.
Not only did Gamecube games usually look better then the PS2, they often had far better loading times. If you compared playing Gladius on the Gamecube to playing it on the PS2 (Which had load times in mid battle!). You'd probably be sorely tempted to take a sledgehammer to your PS2. PS2 rode on having backwards compatability, not being the better system.
Sony really did make the same mistakes Nintendo previously did. They let their success get to their head. They were making jerk moves and stupid mistakes. They actually blocked certain games from being released in the US for the PS2 on the grounds that "Americans don't like 2D games!". And let's not forget the infamous "The next generation doesn't start till we say it does!" which led to "Congratulations you just told a ton of developers who also work for you that their games aren't true next gen" -

Even so, Sega was really a mess back then, too. Really, they'd been royally ****ed since the 32x (some might even argue it was as far back as the SegaCD).

Actually, Sega was already on its last legs when the Dreamcast came out, and everyone could see it. SE would never have picked Sega under the conditions it was in. Given the circumstances, Sony was the only option. Lucky them.
