I'm just amazed.
I can see the Penny-Arcade strip now harping on her "IT NEEDS MORE 3D NURB VOXELS!" comment.

- The artistic style is insipid
- Mario Galaxy 2 needs a more 3D look
- Childish
- Mario's style works on handhelds but not on consoles
I'm just amazed.

edit: unless you are trying to make a morgan webb thread I guess
edit2: I Am Not A Mod, and these are friendly suggestions
ok?
she is a girl
and girls do not know about video games
sorry but them's the facts
No.
It clearly lacks 3D and needs more of it.
Also the style only works on handhelds.
3DS is going to be a GODSEND for her.
But we already have an Alpha Protocol thread.
But the style works perfectly well on consoles. Most publications have lauded EAD Tokyo for their pleasing aesthetic, technical expertise, and overall polish.
If she's complaining about jaggies that's a hardware limitation.
I'm not really sure what she means by both the 3D comment and the one about the style only working on handhelds. I can't expect everyone to appreciate Super Mario Galaxy 2, but I'd like to at least understand the criticisms of high profile reviewers.
It does, from what I've played.
Also it sounds like this wasn't an official review, just a small discussion about the game. What's wrong with saying it doesn't look good on a HDTV when it doesn't? Unless she brought this up in the actual review (which they mentioned they gave it a perfect score), I don't see why she shouldn't.
Rent get with the times
men and women are equals now on the gaming battlefield
all thanks to the FRAG DO-hahahahaha ok I can't finish this line without laughing 8-)
I wasn't really commenting on the video but reviewers in general. To be honest I didn't watch it, I don't like Morgan Webb at the best of times.
I haven't played SMG2 so I have no clue what the hell she's talking about though
sollah
can...love bloom on the battlefield?
no
only overused video game quotes >:

I didn't know your real name was Buzz McKillington, Esq.
She has very bad taste in things
she prety h0t tho
It's not even a valid complaint, really
Super Mario Galaxy did some really neat and exciting stuff for the 3D platformer
I can only assume that the sequel follows suit
Not necessarily saying that at you, but there is the implication that Mario Galaxy survives on nostalgia alone. It certainly wields it, but there's more there than just that.
Hey, I didn't really like Super Mario Galaxy but, I had good reasons.
This chick thinks the graphics are bad and the game makes her feel as though she is four years old so, it gets the shelf?
She shouldn't have a job anywhere near this industry. We've got enough idiots already.
i mean shit even if they do they sure as hell won't know anything about them
She's like Glenn Beck or any person in media being someone or representing something "fresh" or "crazy" just to make money. Glenn Beck doesn't believe a single word of the shit he says, he does it because he gets ratings for saying it and makes money from that. Morgan Webb is not a "gamer", she's a hot as shit girl who wants nerds to think she's just as hardcore as them because it makes them think they can one day get a girl like her. No, sorry, will never happen. Even if in the farthest reaches of insanity a girl that hot is hardcore into gaming, they will still never go out with a typical pasty-skin glasses wearing nerd. She goes out with rich guys or male models. She makes money because shes talks about gaming like she does it every day, which is a total ruse.
And also for anyone who doesn't know what she looks like.

In this case I actually agree with what she's saying. In essence, it's like comparing a Pixar film to some other 3D animation for kids, let's say, comparing Toy Story to, um, I dunno, Horton Hears a Who?
Pixar will make a film for children that is cartoony, it has your slapstick comedy, a mostly simplistic, morally black and white plot, etc, so that kids can understand and enjoy it. On the flipside, they also work in soooo many adult jokes, references, etc that will go completely over the kids' heads and give the adults a good laugh.
Whereas Horton is really, really simple, there isn't any subtext for adults, and it is pretty much only enjoyable for the young. This is the situation that Mario finds itself in, with it's incredibly simplistic stories, art design, environments, characters, dialogue, etc, and beyond the gameplay, it has nothing for adults.
Anyway, I think this is what she's trying to say, perhaps she's not using the right words.
