Well, not really.

My Girlfriend finally completed it, so handed it over to me.
I started playing, just explored, tried to position my water thing so it looked like I was peeing.
And quite fun, although I finally get on and Hitman 2 gets good! :-S

Once again, my point is illustrated. Hounded for having a different opinion. Onimusha 2 has way more life than Mario - but you wouldn't know that, because you don't have it, do you? You're just guessing, yet I, who has both games, am for some reason deemed unfit to judge. Because I don't give the answer you want me to.

Onimusha 2 is far from lifeless, if you played it for an hour you would see. Mario doesn't even speak. The other people say "flobble-lobble".

So every time someone a Mario game gets a great review, you have to give a crap reveiw so 'people can make up their own mind'?

Your talking crap, if you like dull, lifeless hack em ups then fine, but stop ruining other peoples enjoyment of a game thats in a class so high, your little button bashing cop out of a game can't even see it with the hubble telescope.

Onimusha 2 is everything I hate.
Mario is everything I hate. (yet strangely ok-ish)

Why am I here?

That's great, you like Onimusha, I like Sunshine.

I tire of this argument, let's just leave it's been going on for weeks now and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Next time I see you say something critical about Mario i'll just leave it be.

Though you are wrong you know :D

Ah, well, it's not just mario topics, is it? It's lots of other topics as well. Every time I come across a bunch of people telling someone else that Mario is great, I feel I have to give the opposite end of the scale and then teh person can make up thir own mind. After all, both sides are opinion and I have as much right to say it's not great as anyone else have to say it is great.

Also on the Onimusha 2 issue - I beat the last boss of Sushine with around 70 shines and haven't played it since. However on the same day that I got Mario I got Onimusha 2, which I'm curently on my third time through. I just enjoy it a lot more - by the end of Mario I only wanted to finish it so I could stop playing. I didn't want to leave it as unfinished business.

You consistent slating of the game is just getting boring now, you don't like it, that's great, but if you don't like it so much why do you keep going into to the Mario topics in the first place?

Surely you have better things to do?

So you're allowed to say "Mario is the dog's balls" every five seconds, but when I try to say "Mario isn't the dog's balls" I get harassed? I'm not ramming my dislike of the game down your throats even half as much as you lot have rammed your liking of the game down mine. I wouldn't mind if I was just saying crap like "Mario iz crud bcos you cant jump strait an the control is crap" - I've given reasoned arguments and I'm not even saying the game is terrible, yet still you punish me. Once again we witness the completely fair policies of the Nintendo forum...

No not at all, if you don't like a game then no-one's gonna have a problem with it, it's your opinion. But if you keep shoving it everyone's all the time then that's when people get annoyed, we've all worked out that you don't like Mario, give it a rest for gods sake.
