"Kiddie Games"

All I ever do in threads is point hyperlinks >_> But anyway, I point you all to this article, which I believes good examples and discusses what this entire thread is about.
http://www.n-sider.com/index_content.php?page=features/confusions_episode3.htm I suggest you read the entire series of articles the author did, they’re all interesting, in my opinion.

Frankly, I LOVE Pokemon. Those who can look past all the hype and corniness will discover a damn good RPG with insane amounts of replay value and a metric assload of strategic elements.

I have never been put off by a game beacause it’s “kiddy”.

Though I still refuse to play Kingdom Hearts, but that’s just beacause I don’t like disney. :hahaha;

Seems like they judged the games just on their cartoony appearance and nothing more. Pokemon, though, is completely a kiddy game. I regret having owned it, as thinking back, it was complete crap.

Superrant mode!

True that. It should be “Kiddie <> Bad”. Oh well. (<> == “different from”)

I meant Kiddy isn’t always bad, so I guess <> would work. But != is not equal to (I think, correct me if I’m wrong), so it means the same thing.

IMO Pokemon doesn’t deserve to be bought, they’re just a bunch of sellouts.

The game itself is good, but if Nintendo would wake up from milking the cash cow and actually make a gamecube-based online version, i’m sure it would break 3 million.

Thanks for missing the point of the topic :fungah:

And yet, still not a word on Rhapsody :stuck_out_tongue:

Get past the cuteness and it’s a nice, but short RPG :stuck_out_tongue:

Ryan, GG didn’t miss the point of the topic, his reasons for not playing Kingdom Hearts aren’t that he thinks the game is kiddy, but rather he doesn’t like Disney, which is perfectly acceptable.

No one has mentioned The Adventures of Cookie and Cream. That game is great. Fucking hard, too.

Bah, Pokemon’s alright as a game. Perfect time waster, too. As for kiddies game…I think everything has been saide up now, dont really have much more to add, really.

Oh and, resist strangling thoses idiots or yelling at them, man. :smiley:

<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> Although I dislike Pokemon (Red and Blue were nice, but I have no interest in any of the other games, or the anime and movies), I’d probably buy it if they made a game like that. It has a lot of potential, as long as they can figure out a way to remove spawn-camping (look, it’s a rare moltres! Let’s wait with 300 people at it’s spawn location!)

The only thing wrong with or childish I’ve ever heard about Zelda: WW was the graphics were cartoonish.
FFIX is hardly “kiddie” considering people keep getting slaughtered left and right.
FFT!? Holy Crap! I mean, after all That one girl does get raped!
Pokémon is kiddie just because of the TV show. My 7-year old brother and 10-year old brother have had copies of the game since about a year after the first installments came out, and 90% of both of them have been played by either me or my 15-year old brother.

Heh… Seen SO many places label FFTA as kiddie just because it’s on a) A nintendo console and b) On ‘gameboy’

Which both mean that the game is kiddie and therefore it must not be so good, and they still go ahead and play the games dozens of hours… what a bunch of hypocrites…

Sorta. But here’s how it works.

Remember, the ideal is young adult. The “prize” age is early 20’s. So if you’re a kid or teenager, the goal [as dictated by the mass media misinformation service] is to be thought of as and look OLDER, but if you’re pushing 30 or beyond, the goal [as dictated by the mass media misinformation service] is to look YOUNGER.

By the way, the older I’ve gotten, the more cartoons I’ve watched, the less school-going time I’ve logged, and the more video games I’ve played. So neener neener nyah nyah nyah to you.

Bring in the best soundtracks from those selections, Saturn, play them at EB, and if those motherless shitfaced douchebags go “Woah, WTF is that?” just smile, and ignore them.
