Yeah, LL... I just don't get your position at all. I want to understand you, but you do not explain yourself, you just rant at us for being stupid! That isn't the way to get anyone to ever understand you... you need to really explain what you mean. You have not done that. And you have not explained how our points don't matter or something... you just said "becuase I know I'm right I am" which is a bad arguing position.
You are most definitely defending them and making exuses. There is no possible other way to interpret your comments in this thread.
Is it hard? Sure! But as we said, shouldn't Nintendo be on at LEAST the same standards as those other lesser companies? Your position that they should not and that it's fine for them to do less than other, not as good, companies is totally baffling and bizarre.
I actually do play BattleTanx sometimes, something I'd never do if it didn't have decent bots...
Oh come on, those excuses for Nintendo are absurd. Why can't you just admit that Nintendo doesn't get modern gaming ideas, as is so plainly true? They obviously know how to make amazing games, but all those additional touches... can you deny that they just don't do any of the things on that list we provided?
They just don't care at all about providing decent single-player alternatives in multiplayer mode, or for providing bots to make the multiplayer experience more enjoyable. They have proved that fact in many, many games... its totally bizarre, but it's there and incontestible. Online too, of course, is closely related to this. But online is somewhat more excusable since it's got far more costs than just bots...
Quote:Okay, I was and am still not blindly defending Nintendo. I never said it couldn't be done. I never said it would ahve ruined the game or anything stupid like that. I would have LOVED bots. I am not making excuses for Nintendo. I am simply saying that it is harder than any of you think.

Quote:You mention all these other companies that had bots. If their games are so much better, than play them. Or is it that they do have bots, but the rest of the game is bad? Now I know PD was great, but the bots on DKR weren't. It always came down to the human players at the end.

Quote:And again, I have never said that Nintendo couldn't or shouldn't have had bots. Only that it is a difficult thing to do right, and as we all know, Nintendo won't do anything unless tehy can do it right. Maybe they thought they couldn't do a good enough job, maybe they ran out of time, maybe they had a brain cramp and thought it would ruin the game. I don't know. You guys can keep this going, but I'm gonna send all replies to /dev/null from now on because this is obviously going nowhere.
