Daft Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 What's wrong with it looking childish? It's a completely superficial aspect to the game. It's like slamming an El Greco because the figures aren't more within the proportional bounds of realism. The desire for something to conform to being 'socially acceptable' is bizarre. What do you even mean by 'socially acceptable'? Plus, it's a nice break from being grown-up... ...although I hardly partake in that anyway.
dwarf Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I am all for these new games and the new art-style because it is different and explores new things, but with Noby Noby Boy I don't think I could enjoy it because it isn't really my style and everyone else would think I'm a complete arse if I bought it. This is just me being silly so ignore, it's just I wouldn't buy the game.
Daft Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I'm not having a go I just want to understand your thought process. (It may sound like I'm joking but I'm genuinely interested. End of the day it's not going to effect me if you like it or not. ) You find the cartoon art-style too off-putting to spend £3.19 on it? and You don't want to buy it because of what other people may think of you?
Shino Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 But then you tell everyone else that its 5$ (or whatever inexpensive amount of £).
Choze Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 Noby Noby isnt for most people. Its a crazy game though, which is why i like it. The trophies are very odd for example, lol. See squirel etc. Time to see how far we got now.

Well personally I know I wouldn't enjoy it because it is so child-like - for me I would feel embarassed because there is little between it and playing with a dolls house. My friends would laugh too. I'd rather have 6 Wispa Bars lol.
Choze Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 You will be at home with KZ2. :p Do we have a N-Europe Folding@Home team?

My friends would laugh too. I'd rather have 6 Wispa Bars lol. Alright. If I'm honest, I don't fully get that. Sounds like you're a bit self-conscious (and you're hardly the only one). I guess my thinking is, if it's fun, why does anything else matter? But then I play SingStar and people laugh at me when I tell them that... But I think it's pretty funny people react that way. I'm not embarrassed I have fun. None of this is a meant to be a criticism, if it seems that way sorry, just me thinking aloud. In the end, it's just a game. In the grand scheme of things it means nothing.
Sheikah Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 and everyone else would think I'm a complete arse if I bought it. Just read that back and you'll see that's pretty pathetic. Games should be bought for enjoyment and not how you think other people will perceive you. I might buy this later, but I have £2.44 in my PSN wallet already and I'd have to add £5 for some stupid reason to buy it. I really wish they wouldn't force you to fund in set increments, especially since a lot of download costs aren't multiples of 5 and 10.
dwarf Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I don't think that's pathetic, I know to you it probably seems it but I would feel stupid for playing Noby, it's a really childish game. I love Singstar, I like dancing, but I really don't think this game would be enjoyable for me. I don't see the appeal and don't like the art-style... Don't see why I should have to argue my opinion, if you think the game is good then fine, good on you.

I think the buy now does it? It just adds the difference into the wallet.
Sheikah Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 You can just spend the necessary amount on the game. I think the buy now does it? It just adds the difference into the wallet. Obviously you spend the necessary amount otherwise it wouldn't be the price stated. But the disappointing thing is that if you don't quite have that amount in your wallet you have to put in a round figure rather than the amount required. It's like phone topups.

Don't see why I should have to argue my opinion, if you think the game is good then fine, good on you. It's not that your opinion is that you don't like the art-style that is pathetic (as that's a perfectly rational reason to not like a game), it's stating that you wouldn't buy it because people would think you're an arse that is pretty shallow.

That's not the main reason why I am not going to buy it though. If I did buy it however I would be laughed at, just saying this because it is that weird and that juvenile. I got a few sneers when I first got LBP but I didn't mind because I knew it was a good game.
MATtheHAT Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I have been meaning to download this but what with SFIV and Killzone, I don't think I could give it the attention it deserves. I might buy this later, but I have £2.44 in my PSN wallet already and I'd have to add £5 for some stupid reason to buy it. I really wish they wouldn't force you to fund in set increments, especially since a lot of download costs aren't multiples of 5 and 10. You don't have to add funds in Multiples of 5 and 10. 5 is just the minimum amount, so if a game costs £6.99, you can add £6.99 to your wallet.

Yeah but it's been the odd thing here and there that's very cheap and I've already had some cash, but just slightly short of the amount. Like the odd thing in Home (don't ask why, it was just at the time) and now this. It's kinda annoying having to add £5 each time, spend part of it, then add £5 again. :/
Choze Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 ah so below £5 it doesnt allow a lower amount? I swear i have been able to do just pay £1 more for a cheap game and it does that. In other news we are on the Moon! New maps! Got all trophies as well.
Daft Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 In other news we are on the Moon! New maps! Awesome! Didn't they say it would take a couple weeks? Maybe that was for reaching another place. Is the whole solar system in there?
Choze Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Mars is next. So i am guessing its using something of the sort. Lets hope Pluto is a planet.
Shino Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 It will take you a year to reach Mars, you will be dead before reaching Pluto.
Choze Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 It will take you a year to reach Mars, you will be dead before reaching Pluto. Yeah but orbits vary greatly. :p
flameboy Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 People have got to the moon quicker than expected...must have all been more commited to stretching more than they expected sure they said it would 2 weeks of play from everyone.
Choze Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Pluto is still tough though. Lets see how Namco handle this. but yes encouraging so far.
MATtheHAT Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I am pleasantly surprised by this game, for the money, its incredible. The YouTube feature is especially good. Here's my BOY getting up to some mischief and even getting a Trophy!
