No, no, Ye Sweet Gods above, BIIIIG NOOOO~!

I can't count how many times I jumped into an abyss in the first five minutes of the game. I would go on to play for another half-hour with similar success. I was much more attuned to Prince of Persia: Sands of Time due to how often your feet stay grounded (and most platforms were arranged in a simple grid) -- in the Mario platformer series, you tend to fly through the air with great frequency. When you also have to worry about angling the camera as you leap... that's just a bottomless pit waiting to happen.
So you like platformers with little platforming?

I was thinking the same thing. :lol:

There was plenty of platforming with PoP; it was just broken up between the action so I could take time to adjust the camera if I needed to line up a jump.

With Mario (and the 3D Zelda games -- which BurningDoom, TornadoCreator and dunpeal2064 might also attest to)... having to adjust the camera on-the-fly is not an option. I equate it to tennis, where real-time mental processing of an added plane of existence in a do-or-die scenario is highly stressful.

Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

I never did like the Hitman series. Stiff, awkward controls, wrong art direction, robotic AI...

I really can't stand WarioWare Touched. It's a decent display of the DS's gimmicks but that doesn't make for a good game. The minigames were dull and fairly easy, the jokes weren't very memorable and it just felt cheap. I had never been so thoroughly disappointed by a game before.

For me it would be Call of Duty Black OPS. It just like the previous game but with a improved Zombie mode from world at war thrown in. then again with almost yearly releases it seems to be turning into madden which I also hate. Why pay full price for upgrades that could be done by down loads. At least 2K puts more effect when they release a new game.

Heh, yeah, I definitely prefer my platformers to be 2D. I would rather play Alundra than Ocarina of Time. Although Alundra definitely pisses me off way more often than any Zelda game.

I did still enjoy Ocarina though. I liked the "lock on" combat. Mario 64, however, I just cannot get into. My tastes change constantly, so you never know. Once I'm out of 2D platformers, I might find myself craving some of the ones I've passed over.

I just was bored over OoT. It kinda felt like Just One basic story I'd already Played. I loved majoras mask, one of my favorite games in history. Rippin Riders for the dreamcast was a complete raged game. I hate it to this day. I destroyed my copy after I played it in a fit of hate and frustration. Another would be Shining force CD. Too friggin hard. and I can't get into the later Persona games, or digital devil saga, or even devil summoner. But Loved Shin megami Tensei 3: noctourne, and persona 2.

Bubble Bobble is going to be the death of me. In the End Times, the Final Era of The Realm, the Grand Judgemaster of All Past Gaming is going to lay me on the executioner's block and say "We slay thee in the name of the Bubble Bobble. May every God have mercy on your black soul." It will hurt.

What's giving you trouble? Once you get a hang of those electric bubbles you will absolutely destroy that final boss in a lightning storm of brilliance. And it is so. Satisfying.
