To be fair, I don't think I'd want to play a fighting game against someone unless I was somewhat familiar with it, knew some move inputs, etc. Same goes for sports games, though to a lesser extent.

Unless I'm in the seventh grade playing putt putt at the mall with Hailey Warren, I want to win. By no means am I saying I'm great at fighters, but compared to my friends I am. It's not even a contest. Should be noted that I get my behind handed to me online all the time.

Win, lose or draw, it's playing the game that's fun.

Wanted to try star fox command and realized 5 minutes in that you can only play it with the touchscreen. Turn it off immediatly. I know it works fine and probably ill get used to it after a hour but i hate hate hate hate hate when nintendo forces their gimmicks on you.

I like the idea of the whole game so maybe ill just download star fox 2 instead.

And what's up with Super Mario 64? I tried using the d-pad to move Mario around and nothing happened. I have to use that weird stick in the middle of the controller. Stupid Nintendo forcing their gimmicks on me.

Star Fox Command is actually a pretty fun game despite the forced touch control. I especially enjoyed its strategic elements. It's a better game than Star Fox 2. I'm saying that as someone who's beaten both. But maybe you'll feel differently.

The controls in StarFox Command work well and I enjoyed the game when it came out.

Exhuminator, that's the first time I've ever heard another person claim they liked the game. I agree. But it's just surprising to see someone else feel the same way after nine years.

I thought Command was solid, but I remember getting stuck midway through my attempts to unlock all the endings on one mission that seemed to need perfect play.

Yeah... I used to think I was decent at fighters, then I played cha cha and his friends maybe a year ago. I do not hold that notion anymore.

Everybody plays to win.

The people who claim that they "play for fun, not to win" just play by very rigid and unorthodox out-of-game rule sets that favor their skill sets more than those who play the game the way it is made to be played. As much as they claim that they aren't playing to win, the only reason they get their panties in a bunch is because they aren't winning.
