You can play them with one hand and use the other one to masturbate eat a sandwich! Just don't do them both at the same time. Yes, masturbation jokes. Talk about kicking a thread while its down. |

Ahaha.Not because they hate it, but because they're unoriginal. ;D But...Yes. MP can be very, very time-consuming. Getting all the mini-games is a drag. Another shortcoming is that the characters aren't developed enough either. And of course, Mario Party is merely a spin-off series (underrated, at that), not the only Mario game series in existence. The original Mario Party was hailed as a triumph in fun multiplayer party gaming - almost single-handedly coining the genre. Even though the series is regularly (and rightly unoriginally, redundantly, and hypocritically) berated by stereotypical asshats who get off to Knox and Foamy Flash movies and can't provide better arguments for its yearly updates, it continues to be popular, and introduces new ideas and refinements with each entry.Haha, now go masturbate to watch Klay World: Off the Table.  ;D And even Wikipedia agrees: img137.imageshack.us/img137/1226/mariopartywikipedia7tr.jpg ;D ;D ;D Edit: Okay, so I was just being a little crazy/silly here.

The best part about this thread is how the word masturbation has affected the Google ads at the top. But as for the topic itself, why bring it up again?
*giggle*bring it up*giggle*

I would put a lot of money on the fact that it IS in production... I wouldn't want to bet against it though |

And who am I to argue as well? But...who are you to not take a joke? And as for MP8 on Revolution, I can put money on that being the last Mario Party game in the series. Just doesn't seem to be THAT much room for improvement now. Mario Party's only slightly repetitive. But as previously stated, it's appearantly supposed to be this way. And yes, each individual installment had a couple major changes, but not enough to affect gameplay that much. But still, it's very, very funny how MP gets criticized for repetitiveness (and funny and sad how some people consider this intelligent) when the repetitiveness of games series like the original Mega Man series (which I actually like) and EA Sports (which appearantly wrote the book on it*), among others with their own constant flow of gameplay each time gets condoned for reasons unknown (especially when they're emphasized much more than MP). The biggest chunk of hypocrisy ever. Bottom line: I don't care if people don't like anything that I like, but there are more reasons to criticize something instead of being just another drone-y sheep in the flock (they expect originality in MP when they can't even provide any themselves? yawn~). Mario Party isn't really that popular anyhow. But another major flaw about this is that they don't even explain what kinds of changes they want. Too much change would ruin it. But just saying that they're duplicates in different packaging doesn't make them the gods of Mario Party-bashing in the slightest (ludicrous anti-MP logic). There are so many things that are repetitive, ranging from most anime, the Garfield comic strip, and...a lot of other things. It's just pitiful how things like these are never taken into consideration when people go onto MP. And that's all that can be said. They should give these and the sports titles a rest for once and actually make another full-fledged adventure game (with Luigi, hopefully). But there's New Super Mario Bros. for DS coming up (Of course I love all of Nintendo's other stuff). *And if Maddox says it, it must be true. ;D (Read about it in his Ikaruga article) |

This is exactly what my problem with this topic was.
I have provided more reasons for not liking Mario Party, and yet they simply do not exist to you... you refuse to admit that other people DO have reasons for not liking it. You then go around calling them names as if this is the pinnacle of argument.
And you fundamentally misunderstand the very point you're trying to make. People don't have a problem with "repetitiveness" (each game being similar to the last) - it happens all the time in games. What people mind is that there ARE other significant problems that put people off from playing the series, and with each new version these are never fixed.
It's the repetitiveness of all of the other faults - outlined in the arguments in this thread very explicitly (I recommend you read them some time) that people have a problem with. If a game element wasn't fun the first time, why would it be fun the seventh time? It's not.
Mega Man has fewer faults, and later versions fix many of those faults. Even EA Games fix faults in their games (often introducing new ones at the same time - but I wouldn't defend EA Games if you asked me to).

Yeah, I gathered them, all right. And it's quite understandable. Random mini-games all the time is indeed one hell of a drag (this is the biggest pain in the series). Would be great if there were an item that allowed anyone in possession of it to pick the next mini-game rather than having it randomly select one. And the length of each game is the greatest problem I've had with the series so far (between turns and so on. It's kinda sad in that respect). Evidently, many of thse new ideas tend to slow it down even more (capsules/orbs, *gag*). It's just that saying the only difference is the package each one comes in is the most superficial thing to say. But do other critics even specify what these problems are? No. In which case, they're asking for it. And don't even get me started on anime, or god forbid Pube Muppet movies (mostly on Newgrounds)! It's so overused and unfunny that the creator regrets ever making it. I can't believe I actually used to like that in the first place. Yeah, check them out if you haven't, if you even have the stomach for it. And yes, that's what so great about Wikipedia. It's fun to manipulate, allowing anyone to speak the truth about anything. ;D And it's been done many times in the past, especially with the Newgrounds article. No forum on the Internet can be as bad as the one there, ever. Really, it takes a LOT of work to make something THAT terrible. |

Just because someone doesn't explicitly state their argument in full... just because they haven't taken the time (and had the training) to formulate arguments in a consistent manner... all of this isn't an excuse for you to intentionally wind them up by pretending you don't know where they're coming from. That shows immaturity and arrogance on your part. And don't even get me started on anime, or god forbid Pube Muppet movies (mostly on Newgrounds)! I didn't, did I? I don't think anyone's mentioned anime or Pube Muppets... You did. Just then. |

That shows immaturity and arrogance on your part. Yeah, I understand you there. It makes sense anyways. My main point is that I just think it's a tragedy that when someone says, "When you've played one, you've played them all," some people honestly respond with something like, "OMG BEST ARGUMENT EVER YOU ARE THE GOD OF MARIO PARTY BASHING" (I know, they're not really like that, but... ;D ) I didn't, did I? I don't think anyone's mentioned anime or Pube Muppets... You did. Just then. Ah, never mind that. Until then, just be thankful that they don't pull asinine stunts like this:  I assure you, it's not photoshopped. ;D ;D ;D |
