Disappointment

How can you honestly say that whole speech and then do the same exact thing in which you accuse me of doing?

haha

Seriously, I didn't even say anything that would remotely force my opinions on others. If I criticize basically everything, why would I force it on others? I always find the faults in things. Doesn't necessarily mean I hate every game, it's just I am senile when it comes to nitpicking games.

Staryu, MPL had just about everything on MP9 before the US even got the game.  My question to you is, it took until you experienced the game before you found out about how much luck is relied on?  Don't take this as condescending or sarcastic, I just wonder what changed between talking about the game and playing it.

Yes it did. =P Plus I didn't watch that much videos of the game, only like 2, and I saw some luck stuff, but not as bad as I saw when I played it (some of the stuff that happen on that game is just too much...). Like I said, MP9 is not a BAD game, it's just too luck based, and that so happens to make it un-enjoyable for me most of the time.

And I do want to mention that I know the Mario Party series itself has always had luck, but it also had skill. MP9, imo, there's pretty much no skill to it, it's just luck... It's very unbalanced with that.
 
Didn't want to know everything about the game before you played it yourself?  I get that, it's what Chubz and I did.  I think my opinion is probably a little skewed due to the fact I beat Chubz our first couple times playing (have not yet managed to do that in ANY other MP).  I think the reason I did win is because ministars were awarded to second and third places for minigames.  I just don't see how MP9 focuses more on luck than any other.

Since I'm not the owner of the game I played (Chubz is), I can only state opinions I have based on two boards I've played (Blooper Beach and Magma Mine).  The game is competitive the whole time, there are a large variety of spaces that do many different things, any (but the green space) can either give/take away ministars or award you a special die.  All it requires is the appropriate roll at the right time, which can be influenced based on the die you use, if you have an extra.  Maybe I'm not looking deeply enough into this.

Yeah, but most of the time, I did not have a die and if I did, someone landed on the spin space and I lost my die. You'd have to play a lot more to see what we mean. I can't really explain it, you just have to see for yourself. :p
 
That's my review, my opinion, it can't get anymore clear than that.

And I have seen little luck in the previous games, it took some sheer skill, yes, it is luck based, but not as heavily luck based as Mario Party 9.

In fact, I'm about to commit an atrocity. I loved Mario Party 8. And 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. I know what I'm talking about. Don't dismiss me as some nut who didn't like something new.

The boss battles were good, but everyone else still got mini stars for participation. I'd rather be called a fanboy of all the other games instead of accepting this disappointment.
And I also found the minigames in Mario Party 9 lacking.

Well, it's time to start looking forward to Mario Party 10.
 
No, it's because you guys can't handle the fact that so many people disliked MP9 that you attack him with stupid reasoning.
 
Nope.avi
It's because i don't see how this could constitute as a valid review. They don't say why they don't like so and so (In fact, it reads more like a rant about how new things are the bane of long runners than an actual review. Staryu had much better pointers in his post, imo) or what they could have done, and if he had done a better job on the review, people wouldn't be getting on his case as much.
 
You guys completely don't know what a review is, do you? I have seen shorter reviews on IGN, Gamepro, etc. and they all make valid points.

No doubts. Some reviews are horribly rated.

According to you.

I'd rather listen to professionals than fanboys.
