Pikmin 3 Discussion

[Olimar12345]

The guy at GameStop thought I was an idiot because I asked if they'd do a midnight release. I've been waiting 9 goddamn years, at least grant me the courtesy of a polite "no".  -__-

^That's annoying.  It also bothers me how everyone says "Pikmin is not a system seller."  Just because it's less well known than Mario platforming or Donkey Kong or Mario Kart does not mean it won't be an amazing game.  TBH this looks like the biggest system seller Wii U has or will have for a while.

[blueflower999]

It certainly sold the system for me, even though it looks more than a little disappointing.

Nobody asked you, you cretin.

With your opinions opposing mine and disliking the things I do.

[TheZeldaPianist275]

more than a little disappointing.

He thinks that Pikmin 3 looks disappointing.

[blueflower999]

See? Someone understands my gibberish.

Not that it'll be bad, I don't think it's possible for a Pikmin game to be bad. I was just expecting a longer game than what was produced. But that's OK. I'll still get it anyway.

[TheZeldaPianist275]

lol Slow I knew what he meant, I just wanted his reasons.

@Blueflower:

Nobody asked you, you cretin.

[SlowPokemon]

Yeah Blueflower, you're stupid because you have an opinion.

[TheZeldaPianist275]

When it comes to Pikmin, opinions begin to divide into facts and falsehoods.

[blueflower999]

...how long have you been playing the series, TZP? 

[Olimar12345]

Destructoid gave Pikmin 3 a 9.5 out of 10.

+400 HYPE

[TheZeldaPianist275]

Yeah, I've been seeing roughly 9/10 from reviewers.

Blueflower, not long, but I'm still kinda in love with it.  The fact that it's getting repeated 9/10s shows that it really doesn't look disappointing at all.  Recently people have been picking at Nintendo games for the smallest things, even when they reach or surpass the heights set by Nintendo's old classics, the so-called golden standards.  So for a game that's getting great reviews, it seems almost trivial to call it disappointing.

Yeah the game looks awesome I honestly can't wait to play the first two Pikmin games.

And please stop, TZP. It's not "trivial," it's an opinion.

[TheZeldaPianist275]

Aren't I entitled to an opinion though?  I'm not attacking my broseph Blueflower at all, I just think people have recently shown a tendency to freak out about problems with phenomenal games.

Perhaps this is my Nintendo purist coming out, but I don't care about those kinds of problems.  Ultimately the game is still a triumph, and that's what matters to me.
