The "Kiddy" game hate

[QUOTE="locopatho"]Ya everyone knows that's BS. Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts both look more "kiddy" to me than Nintendo games. But whatever, people can be dumb...nitekids2004

Kingdom Hearts i can understand..but FF?

Ever see 9? That takes the anime look to a whole new level. There was that influence in 7, but not like it is in 9.

kiddy game threads are guarenteed to hit 100 posts.

And Nintendo overdoes the kiddy aspect which is why it gets so much hate

Cows defend LBP?

Last time I checked Sheep were hyped up for the game.

Cows should. That game looks killer.

9 was "retro". It was made to loo like it's old 8 and 16 bit installments, just like what The Wind Waker did.

to me kiddy games are nin dogs, pokemon, horzes ps2, lbp.

i like pokemon whethter it's "kiddy" or not.

People who hate 'kiddy' games are just insecure about themselves IMO. Who cares if it has anime or cartoony characters. Some of the best games out are considered 'kiddy' games by the ignorant fanboys. Some say SMG is. The very same SMG goty 2007. LBP may look kiddy but it's the artistic style. If anything, any game that plays online should be MATURE when online because there is so much vulgur language. EG: Owning an opponent in sports games -T rated- brings out this reaction sometimes. Who knows, stuff like this in LBP can happen too.tmntPunchout

the differance to me is either hated bad kiddy game to good liked kiddy game.

it depends how the games is and what you do in the game.

see cows nows lbp is kiddy but it looks fun and addictive.

nin dogs is boring kiddy game.

see the differance.

i now lbp is kiddy but it is going to be blast to play with my son and daughter.

pokemon boring bad kiddy game and nin ds is full of them.

see nin is a kids console and all ways will be because the # of kids game out # the ones that aren't by a large #.

the 360 and ps 3 mature/teen rated games out # the kids games by a large #.

Go play a proper Pokemon game, then come back

I will try to explain why I think most people give LBP a pass.

You brought up Animal Crossing, so I'll just use that. In Animal Crossing, what things can you do in the game? Well, dig up fossils, mail letters, pull weeds, pick fruit, fish, design your home, and a few other things. Most of those activities are very simple and accomplished with just the A button.

Now compare that to LBP. You can play through the levels (with is just basically run, grab, and jump). OR you can sit down and spend 15 minutes or 15 hours creating your own levels with physics based puzzles, which can be distributed around the world.

The point is, LBP gives you a lot more to sink your teeth into, while many (but not all) of the "kiddy" games don't really provide that kind of depth. Yes, LBP has a cute visual look to it, but there's definately something deeper in the game than say Animal Crossing.

I think you are assuming a little early that LBP is going to be a lot deeper than AC.

The reason people give LBP a pass is because they are biased towards the PS brand, the same way they complain that there are no other games on the xbox but shooters yet Resistance 2 and KZ2 will be the best games ever. SW=home of hypocrisy.

Edit: should probably add although it should go with out saying that each fanboy of each brand does the same thing, xbox owners can be just as bad for the kiddy thing and Nintendo gamers can be very pretentious about first party stuff lol (and PC gamers tell us every console game is ugly and low res :cry: ).

The names also have a slighty different appeal. Animal Crossing brings images, rightly or wrongly of dora the explorer to mind. Little Big Planet does not.

And halo games are realistic. It's dialog is topnotch as well. I know everyone who has played halo can agree with me.

Some cows defend LBP, but I think the sheep are a bit jealous they're not getting it. Personally, LBP looks like it will be great, but won't persuade me to buy a PS3.

I was actually serious. I used to take gaming pretty seriously and would never even think of touching something like lego indiana jones or animal crossing becasue they were too "kiddie". But these days, the idea of a casual game that is silly, light-hearted and non-serious is actually appealing.

It's kinda like how ten years ago I listened NiN and tool and what-not, but these days my car radio is tuned to the classical station...

I could not agree with you more. Right now on one hand I am playing thought Half life 2. Then on the other hand I just gameflyed Bomerman land. They both are fun games and Bomerman Land I will have more fun with because I will be playing with friends and family.

Get your sarcasm meter checked.

TC do you have a problem with cows or something because you're targeting only us and not those as a whole so say what game is kiddie. I like kiddie games because they are just they are just simple and appealing.

Anyway why do you care who calls a game kiddie? As long as you enjoy the game.
