if it takes until world four to get good then the people did not follow one of the most basic of design rules and clearly are too incompetent to be bothered with.

As long as it's not a PAIN to get to that point, then it's fine.
I hate RPGs of that like. I would point out that such jobs systems tend to break the game as well and drastically favor tedious powerlevelling. They are not good games, really... Not when they could be so easily improved by simply making a more compelling early game. I want to keep playing because the game is good, not because it isn't actively trying to get me not to play it. So yeah, you're wrong. There is no reason to play a game like that when there are better ones around. Even discounting generalities, on THIS SPECIFIC EXAMPLE, you are saying that my argument is wrong and that it's okay that the first half of the game or so sucks. How does that... How does that even approach logic? I. I just HAVE to be misreading this somehow.

Yeah, but don't forget that I'm not saying "It's OK if the game sucks early". The game can be *good* early but then a few hours in the hook comes into play. And that's when it goes from a good game to a great game.
What..

Then why did you say it HERE...

I mean that's not even CLOSE to the case here, we're all saying the game is terrible except the few who say it's bad but gets better later...

Trying to pick apart the Mario timeline is like trying to pick apart the Zelda one. Don't bother, just enjoy the games for what they are.
The Zelda games at least have connected plots and in general the games can be placed in a timeline without any real finaggling (especially if you take that there are two timelines, in which case only the placement of the capcom games isn't basically already laid out). Relating it to Mario (which I don't think even has a timeline) doesn't make sense.

Well, the Zelda games does have some obvious connections, such as that Wind waker happens right after Ocarina of time for example. Though I almost suspect there's really not any offical order, apart from Ocarina of time being first in the timeline apparently.
Wind Waker's not right after Ocarina of Time at all... Wind Waker is several hundred years after Ocarina of Time. Also, Eiji Aonuma (The guy who does Zelda) says there is a timeline.

But the Zelda games are EASY to put together.

It is inherently obvious that it goes Ocarina of Time, then Majora's Mask, then Twilight Princess, then The Wind Waker, then A Link to the Past, then Link's Awakening, then The Legend of Zelda, then The Adventure of Link. Alternatively, since Aonuma said there are two timelines... It is inherently obvious that it goes

OoT > MM > LttP > LA > LoZ > AoL

But also,

OoT > TP > WW

When you factor in the Capcom games, it's up for interpretation, but at least it makes sense and arguments can be fruitful...

Lots of people actually have averages above 500, Ailure.

I do not drink caffeinated beverages, and thus I do not drink coffee. I am allergic to milk protein, and thus I do not drink hot chocolate. Your attempt at humor has failed.

What, never hear about the hunger site?

Also, lol at the implication that we haven't done a good job fighting AIDS. The majority of people don't have it, and that's good, really. Just imagine what would happen if back in the early 80s people ignored it

What would be nice, though, is if everyone who had AIDS just did not practice sexual behavior.

Say "modern safety features," not just "safety features." It gives the wrong impression

I'm still attempting the "Normal" setting for Ready! Steady! Go! on Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan. I don't think Elite Beat Agents is out in the UK yet, I might consider getting it if it's half as good as Ouendan

The game is quite simply what the DS was made for- a supremely engrossing game that is still just as playable for those two minute breaks that are hard to fill (with a game system, anyway ). The long intro to Ready! Steady! Go! is highly iritating when playing on harder settings, though. You frequently find yourself returning to the beginning and faced with a lengthly intro that cannot be skipped, which wastes a lot of time that could be spent playing. This is annoying when you're trying to fill just ten minutes of time- I find myself playing tracks I can easily complete instead. Ah well.
Elite Beat Agents is far better than Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!. Among other things, you can skip right to countdown to the first action sequence. Which is nice, because both songs in the "No More Music? The Last Hope!!" (Without a Fight and Jumpin' Jack Flash) have very long intros, too. there's also more songs overall, a better VS mode, saveable replay videos you can play back at any time, and you can view more information at the en of each level.
