Oh, I can handle anime style. That sounds nice! ^_^
Then again, I could not even get all the picarats on Layton, so I bet my patients would die.
Yeah, I figured Layton would not be as popular here is the States considering how hard it was to find and the fact that I have never seen anybody play it. You are the only reason I really found out about it and how it really was. I wish gamers here had more open minds to new types of games.
Well I have my worries too xD but still haha (then again I have so many games I want)
Exactly. It is always good to try new. Also one of my biggest pet peewes in gaming culture is how people are like "we need more unique games" yet they ignore some of the more obscure and unique game
Yeah, even I'm guilty of not always realizing how many great games there are that create unique experiences. Too often that flies under the radar around here. That's why I always loved my DS and 3DS. They have such huge libraries of games of all types, even obscure games. All genres are present and accounted for. I love the variety. I still play stuff like Resident Evil, Zelda and Mario, but I also try stuff that barely sales here in the states.
It sounds better in Europe and Japan in terms of variety. I think Japan probably has the best variety because we often get the games that sell well there, and we won't hear about whatever flops. They get it all. They are like the test group guinea pigs of gaming.
Oh I so agree you with the (3)ds variety. It has a lot of different types of games. There are many I havent even tried and Id like to
I am not sure about Europe. I mean we have lately been treated by Nintendo (bundle packs,earlier release dates etc.) but at the same time it feels that people arent eager to try new ere. At least in Finland. It feels that Pokemon is the most popular (japanese ) game. And then there are those who are obsessed with icw hockey or football games
As for japanese games yes they are test audience but at the same times there are game series and both even game types that are in popular in Japan but not localised in west. A perfect example is the visual novel genre (which is argued whether it is a videogame genre or not). The closest visual novels we have in west are some mystery games such as of Phoenix wright, zero escape and danganronpa. Kinda funny considering that the interactive story genre was popukar in the west in 90's
I'm obsessed with football(Our kind), baseball,hockey and basketball here in the states. I'm a Patriot fan for Football. Celtics fan for basketball. Red Sox fan for baseball. Bruins for hockey. I just watched a playoff hockey game last night! However, I never play the video games for sports. I'm weird like that. ^_^
True about visual novels. I remember when the series Silent Hill had a visual novel, but Japan mainly got it. It was not too popular here. Not enough interest, so no plans for any more.
I see.thats a lot I am not a big sports person all I like is to take walks amd swim. I am more of an inside cat
Silent hill had a visual novel. I didnt know this
I'm also an inside person. I still like sports though. I'm complicated! I do like swimming and walks too, but I don't watch very much of that. I always liked swimming the most, actually. As far as what I liked to do. Watching swimming is not fun. I could swim all day though and have tons of fun.
Silent Hill is scary as heck. When I was in middle school I was obsessed with scary games so I played them all the time. The games are quite scary, even now. Play them at night!
Nauseous by real blood or game blood? I like all blood so I'm good. It does not make me sick. Now organs on the other hand...
No, I played scary games while I was at the age to be in middle school. Sorry, bad phrasing. Although playing games in school would have been so awesome.
Well, Silent Hill 3 has bleeding walls so maybe you should avoid that series. Scary movies must not be your thing if they are gory. My favorites are comedies, but I like all things scary.
Well I guess I could tolerate the walls. I am very easily to get scared and I kinda dislike jumpscares. So yeah no scary movies for me. Animation and comedy are my favirte genres altho I like some scifi and fantasy
Jump scares happen is Silent Hill as well. There is blood all over. Oh well. I played it mainly on PS2 so even I have not played the new Silent Hill games.
Animation and Fantasy are my favorites. Then comedy. Scary movies after that. However, I can find no good scary movies now. It seems most people like movies with lots of gore and torture. That is not a scary movie to me, just violent. I like scary movies like ghost stories and stuff. The SAW series ruined the genre basically.
Animation is still the best, no matter how old I become it will always be my favorite.
High five for animation and fantasy liking. Yeah horror nowadays can be justgore. I like when horror is more "nothing is scarier than nothing" . Its the atmosphere
Whats your favorite animation movie? I am not sure there are so many. Dark crystal is one of my favorite fantasy movies tho. So weird yet cool xD
That's why I loved Silent Hill. It had fog, darkness, and the scariest part was everything you never saw. Then sounds scared me the most, not what I could see. That's what I like in scary movies. I agree with you completely! It is all about atmosphere, not creative ways to rip people apart.
Mulan and The Hunchback of Notre Dame are some of my favorites.
Dark Crystal! Haha, I love you for liking that movie! I love it as well. I still have it on VHS. Nobody ever liked it when I was little except for me.
Exactly. The whole uneasiness is important in a horror flick haha
I love those movies too :3.
You like the dark crystal too. Let me love you. The movie traumatised me as a kid but nowadays I just love it
Also speaking of movies did you know there is a animated Layton movie. For a videogame movie it is great and faithful to the series. Definitely worth watching
The movie was scary to me as a child as well. Haha, but I still liked it. Now I truly appreciate it. I can't even find others who remember it, so you are a gem! *hugs*
I had no idea about the Layton movie. I'll look for it. The animation in the game was amazing and one of the reasons I fell in love with it immediately.
It might controversial, but I also love the style of Yoshi's Story. I don't care how many people call it babyish or silly looking. I love it.
I know about those theories. I don't see them as stories alone. They might be Mario retelling what really happened, but I'll never accept them as just stories that did not take place. I prefer to think of them as happening as we experience them and the style of presentation is just storybook style. Mario Bros. 3 also had storybook theories because of the stage.
Well I am not sure. It hasnt been any infoabout it in ages. I really hope it isnt cancelled tho
Exactly. I mean I always will see those games as part of the canon. The only expection may ne Sticker star but not because it bwing infernior to the others but rather that it seems even more story like
