ZeldaFreak Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 As Viva Pinata comes out this comng friday (1/12/06) and as I suspect quite a few members on these forums will be picking this game up it got me thinking about the trading feature on this game. If we receive a gift I thought we could post the following nifomation The person who gave you something? What the item/creature is? And a message of thanks to the user in question I thought it would be a good idea to do something like this, to try and promote a community feeling to these forums which we have been lacking recently due to several forum member and their flame wars(by self included which I am now ashamed of now) Note: Takeo and Caris if your picking this game up I will send you a couple of pressies each
That Guy Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 You seem to be making an effort, so I'm going to add you on Live.
ZeldaFreak Posted November 26, 2006 Author Posted November 26, 2006 Thank you mate, I feel I should try to make up for my recent attacks on members of the forum and in general my behaviour.
ZeldaFreak Posted November 26, 2006 Author Posted November 26, 2006 Thats ok I will send you a pressie on it for xmas day.
Bren Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 lol, maybe we should keep this to the 360 thread? ^^ haha.
Hero-of-Time Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Nice thread! I cant wait to start growing my garden and getting my pinatas. I may send some nasty pressies into the mix just because im a git.
KKOB Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Awwww community thread. lol I'm not getting this game till Christmas at the earliest but even then i can't play it since I'm leaving my 360 in Manchester. have fun though guys (and hopefully the odd girl)
ZeldaFreak Posted November 27, 2006 Author Posted November 27, 2006 I will still send you something Takeo - I believe you can send a gift to anyone and then when you go online it automatically downloads the present
ZeldaFreak Posted November 27, 2006 Author Posted November 27, 2006 It's a kid's game. I know Nintendork, but it makes a change from all of these war games. Totally something different for the 360 :grin:
Guest Stefkov Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I'll be getting this game sometime after Christmas i think. Whats this sending ifts about? I dontknow much about the game other than being able to grow pinatas.
Hero-of-Time Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 It's a kid's game. Why is it a kids game? Because of the colourful look or because of the Pinatas? If you read just all the reviews circling around they do state that despite its childish apperance the game is very deep and will appeal to all ages alike. I know alot of people will miss out on this because it looks to childish and I suppose its their loss. Its kind of like the whole situation with Nintendo and their "kiddy" games. I'll be getting this game sometime after Christmas i think. Whats this sending ifts about? I dontknow much about the game other than being able to grow pinatas. You can presents such as Pinatas, tools etc to people on your friendslist.
ZeldaFreak Posted November 27, 2006 Author Posted November 27, 2006 HoT I have just realised something Viva Pinata may be the first game ever on a console that could create a virtual christmas
The3rdChildren Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 If I can't find a HD DVD player in town I'll probably pick this up.
Meik Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Should be getting this on Thursday hopefully. Send me stuff.
Stocka Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I've been up and down with deciding on whether to get Viva Pinata. It is really pretty and everything, and could make an ideal christmas present, but as i'm not a fan of simulation games I can't see me enjoying it all that much.
Nintendork Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I read the EDGE editorial on this, it's a kids game. Kids don't complete games like Mario or Super Monkey Ball. I think that will be the distinction with Viva Pinata.
The3rdChildren Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I read the EDGE editorial on this, it's a kids game. Kids don't complete games like Mario or Super Monkey Ball. I think that will be the distinction with Viva Pinata. Kids not beating Monkey Ball on later difficulties I'll give you, but Mario? Of course they do. You're seriously underestimating kids if you think they can't beat a Mario game.
ZeldaFreak Posted November 27, 2006 Author Posted November 27, 2006 On another note this game has no end technically Nintendork because its a simulation type game.
That Guy Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I read the EDGE editorial on this, it's a kids game. Kids don't complete games like Mario or Super Monkey Ball. I think that will be the distinction with Viva Pinata. Well, if anything reviews have said it might be a bit much for kids. And since you haven't played it, and you're a Nintendo fan of all things, let's leave this 'kids game' crap eh?
Nintendork Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I only bought a GameCube 3 months ago actually.. and my DS a year ago. Before that I was a die hard Sony fanboy. So this is not an issue of whether I am a fan of Nintendo games (which I am not as I read EDGE) and I didn't suggest this game was on a similar vein to Mario or Monkey Ball.. I know it's kinda like the Sims for kids with a bit of Pokemon mixed in. I'm sick of this attitude that you can't judge a game until you've played it. It's not a closed book.. I've seen videos, previews, reviews and photos from commenters and the creators. There is no denying that this is aimed at kids, the kids TV show that's being put together really is the nail in the coffin on your argument. You're free to play it sure, but this seems to be more of a parent and child kinda game. It's Microsoft's attempt to break the children's market from Nintendo and to an extent Sony. Perhaps I'm underestimating kids but I could never complete the likes of Alex Kid or Mario Bros. I wasn't that hardcore. But hey.. that didn't stop people buying Lego Star Wars in the bazillions did it?
Hero-of-Time Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Just got word from the xbox forums that Viva is now on sale at Argos. I checked the website and its on there and its out in stores aswell for those who want it early.
