Title: Somebody DOESN'T Like BIS!
Post by: Fawful Fan on November 08, 2010, 01:32:05 PM
Wow, with all its stellar reviews, I thought Bowser's Inside Story was as universally lovable as those singing ants from Garfield and Friends.  Here is one dissenter. (http://www.gamese****ch.com/2010/11/column_the_spoony_bard_when_an.php#more)  At least even he acknowledges the awesomeness of Fawful!

Edit: A bit of a problem.  That link doesn't work because the forum is automatically censoring part of "game set watch" which put together forms a naughty word.  So if you want to see it, visit www.gameset watch.com/2010/11/column_the_spoony_bard_when_an.php#more without the spaces.

I've yet to finish reading it, but I will say that I've discovered two potential flaws in this argument within the first few paragraphs:

1) If you haven't played the first two games, what right do you have to criticize the third?
2) It's not supposed to be a straight-up RPG. Action-RPGs (or whatever you'd call the M&L series) are really a separate genre.

I was about to make a comment, but someone on there named "James Bishop" basically said what I was going to say. This author clearly doesn't have the authorization to review the game, seeing as he/she hasn't even finished it yet and is playing the game with the wrong mindset.

Well, I finished it, and I've got to say I'm confused. I've heard stronger arguments from a grade-schooler.

James Bishop doesn't seem to be a very accomplished or experienced gamer. Hell, he probably pronounces Mario's name "May-ree-oh".

I honestly don't see what was wrong about his comment besides the fact that he directly criticized the writer and made fun of him/her.

Yes, that seems to be the common symptom.
