dude, what's that MURAMASA game????

it looks freakin' awesome~!!

joopyme

From the makers of Odin Sphere... Comes a new epic exclusive to Nintendo Wii! Muramasa: The Demon Blade brngs you to the Genroku period in which characters must face conflict across Japan, creatures from the netherworld are summoned by blades, along with Dragon and Demon Gods.
As of yet, the game I'm most looking forward to. 8)

And Black Knight haters, screw you.

Phew, Indiana Jones didn't get canceled. Just a new platform! Can't wait for that!

Oh yeah and Madworld and Sin & Punishment 2 are such kiddy games, when will we see more mature games begin to arrive? OT: Can't wait for the shootin' and the bleedin'. 360 and PS3 don't get em cause they can't handle them.

Punch-Out will be pretty cool to check out as well.

Grand total of 6 I'm looking forward to, some I might have even forgot.

I'll admit it's a natural thing that happens in almost any gen of gaming, and just about every gamer has been raised to act as such since the Nintendo vs. Sega days (Some might even be from the Atari vs. Mattel vs. Coleco days). But why would anyone want to be a fanboy/fangirl of anything? These are the reasons I would ask:

- The console you follow won't be around forever.
- The company you follow could fold any day.
- It's not like companies care about you anyway.

When a system is made, it's made for a specific era, and once the era is over, companies move on with whatever product they have next. So dedicating yourself to a single console really doesn't work in your benefit since , this especially goes for the SNES fanbrats who claim the SNES was the last good gaming console. Not that I'm saying the SNES didn't go through a great age of gaming, it's definately one of Nintendo's best consoles, but sticking to that console alone is rather limiting isn't it? It limits you to a single console, and you miss out on everything future generations have to offer.

Next, there's the case that the company could leave the fold any day. I'm sure the Sega fanboys in the Nintendo vs. Sega days thought Sega was going to be a game console company forever, but look at them now, they're a third party developer who even make games on Nintendo consoles, which if you told somebody that in the NES vs. Genesis days, they would have laughed. Of course Sega had a good run through the console market, even though they could have done some things a bit better, but the rumors of the Dreamcast 2 are not prooving to be true thus far, so no more Sega consoles for the time being.

Finally, why do you even care? Simply put, the companies don't even care about "you" the consumer, only that they manage to get you to buy their console and buy games from their brand names. When you do that, they're done with you, plain and simple. There's no fanboy heaven where all the fanboys are rewarded for their brand loyalty, so there's really no reward in being a fanboy.

This is what I got to say overall, there are a lot of game companies out there, and there are a lot of games for every console you can name that appeal to one or more person's tastes. Always have your horizons broadened and you'll find many games to enjoy on any console and you won't have to go down with your company into the gaming history textbooks as just another page to read, but able to enjoy your status as a "gamer" not a fanboy.

So with that being said, are there any arguments in favor of fanboyism?

*Uwe Boll makes a crappy movie and calls it Assassin's Creed*

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hungry_bunny

Yeah, but who knows? Maybe he actually could stick to the source material, but make it so long, stretched out, and derrivitive, it could actually make the biggest Assassin's Creed fan nudge his girlfriend and ask, "Hey, wanna go over to you place and watch Titanic?"

A good number of us know Uwe Boll, the guy who brought so many video games to the silver screen in such a "masterful" way. Examples include Alone in the Dark, House of the Dead, Dungeon Siege, Bloodrayne, and soon Farcry (As if the series hasn't taken enough hits by shoddy re-releases like Farcry Vengeance). So here is something I thought about, what licenses could Uwe Boll also screw up the butt with a pitchfork and how do you think it would turn out? Here's an example of how to present your idea:

Legend of Zelda: The Movie
-The setting would be in a fictional city called "Hyrule City"
-Ganondorf would be some rip-off of the Kingpin from "Daredevil".
-His drive is to get the triforce, which is a christian cross split into three parts and it's the world's most valuable artifact. (He already owns one part)
-Leonardo DeCaprio would be casted as Link.
-The Master Sword would be an unrealistic double-handed Uzi.
-Zelda would be the daughter of some CEO and works in a bar as a hooker who Link falls for.
-Moblins would be gang members who are all inhumanly tall and butt-ugly.
-Ganondorf captures Zelda because he learns a part of the "triforce" is on a necklace she has worn since the day her mother died.
-The overall story would be that of Link going across the city and shooting "Moblins" to save Zelda from Ganondorf, and he learns by some strange twist of fate that he has one part of the "triforce" somehow.
-Link all of a sudden knows Bokator and uses it to kick Ganondorf through four buildings.
-There will be some lame and improbable plot twist at the end.

Have fun!

II_Seraphim_II

you forgot to add the obligatory kung-fu scene in the movie.

There, fixed!

I just don't see a Zelda movie working under any director...JustPlainLucas

Yeah, me neither. This is just how I think Uwe Boll would treat the license if he managed to get it.

Now we're talking! So when's the movie come out!? Gotta pre-order my tickets and FYI, i doubt Leonardo D.C.'s agent would ever let him act in a Uwe Boll flick :P

Hopefully sometime after December 21, 2012... You know when I mean. And who knows, Uwe Boll somehow manages to get enough money for his projects, enough money can bribe any actor into soiling his reputation. Besides, think of how it will be for the tabloids!

Your description of the Zelda movie alone almost made me cry :(

I have a strong urge to come up with a Uwe Boll-idea for another game, God Of War:

-Kratos accidentally time travels to the modern times
-He ends up in the Afghan Desert
-He steals a jeep
-He kills some Talibans and asks one of them "Where is the God Of War" They point in the direction of Usama Bin Ladin's cave... the rest writes itself.

curono

And Vin Diesel must be kratos, to end with the joke...

And that just gets an extra "XD". Seriously, this would be sooooooo bad.

Wait are we talking about Uwe Boll or M. Night Shyamalan?

Watch Alone in the Dark and you'll see what I mean.

[QUOTE="HillyBilly"]You should add how Tingle fits into all of this.CrimzonTide

Well I guess I could say something like "He's the younger brother of Link who will be worthless duing the first 2 hours and then all of a sudden has the ability to kill Ganondorf" or "He's an evil henchman of Ganondorf who always ends up in "convienant" positions when Zelda is held prisoner." Best of all, "Billy Crystal could get the role".

But really, I'd like to know what other licenses people have in mind. How about a Call of Duty movie?
