X-play - VGF

Before anyone has a chance to post it, VG Cats - Comics - Updated Monday

It actually is pretty accurate on what X-play is...You really can't trust Adam Sesspool or Morgan Manjaw for reviews. Whenever they're reviewing a game based off an anime franchise, they spend at least half the time trashing the franchise and its fans instead of telling us why we shouldn't get the game. Plus, they really do LOVE to repeat funny scenes from the games...a little too much.

It's sort of to be expected...it's TV, they have to have enough entertainment on top of what little video-game stuff they do have. (If that wasn't true, Mythbusters would pretty much be Jamie explaining the science behind all the myths)

I don't really care at all what they say during there reviews, I just watch it occasionally to see the clips of the game in action, and sometimes they do actually say things that are funny.

And your right about Mythbusters too. Adam pretty much makes the show.

If the comic was actually true, I might have more appeal to this topic.

Sim Kid · 08-22-2007, 10:01 PM

^

It was heavily exxagerated for the sake of humour...Especially the whole "Morgan Manjaw" part. (I don't actually see a huge chin on her...I think it's something only he seems to notice like Borat's huge nose and me) The part about the constantly repeating the "funny" parts from the game. (I just call her "Morgan Manjaw" because she just seems to rub me the wrong way...)

Thing is, with the anime games, most of the releases from a single franchise appear to function exactly the same as one another. When the game is actually different, they they do talk about it.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Truth. Didn't they give the DBZ fighter for Wii Fighter of the year for 2006?

Demonicus Prime · 08-22-2007, 11:14 PM

It's not that they trash the anime or the fans: most of the anime games that they review badly actually do suck. Show me an anime game that isn't Phoenix Wright or a fighter that doesn't suck, and I'll probably change my opinion.

I believe they also gave that Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 five stars.

Edited.

Gyakuten Saiban 4's forecast for suackage is actually quite low.

Demonicus Prime · 08-23-2007, 03:01 PM

^I didn't say Gyakuten Saiban 4 would suck.

ChuckleHuck · 08-23-2007, 03:26 PM

Oh, I didn't know you cut off at "Wright" I thought you cut off that thought as well with the word "sucks".

Sorry. Sentence oopsie.
