Small wank, but hopefully better than non-wank?
Game FAQs Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories wank
This is a small, but redundant wank - the truth is, right now, it's occurring all over on various message boards. But since GameFAQs gamers always get their knickers in a twist better than any other forums I know of, this is by far the best one.
Background - Kingdom Hearts is an RPG videogame that is overall considered to be a really darn good console game. It has a sequel coming out next year, and a sequel (that takes place in between the first and second game) for the Gameboy Advance that came out a little less than a week ago.

The graphics in said sequel are good. The storyline is pretty good. There's one little problem - the battle system is radically different from the original. The original involved walking/jumping/running/spinning/what-have-you around, smacking things with a giant key and using magic and items. But KH:CoM instead uses something a little different. You still run around, but now you can only do the actions on these little cards that you get as the game progresses. Most of them involve smacking things with giant keys, magic, and healing, but it's really, really different to play, and the truth is, unlike the first, it requires thinking rather than blindly leveling up, especially since whether you or an opponent use a better card, it completely nulls whatever the worse card is.

Wank ensues. It's mostly just a few choice fools throwing their games down in disgust because they can't beat the first few bosses, and others telling them that it's not a hard game once you get the hang of it, and to *gasp* read the instructions, but there's some amusing stupidity going on. And while small, there is a definate arguement and wankiness going on.

ETA: And along the same lines, in that it's bashing those who put down the game

Whoa, there. Inducing suicide, regardless of its validity = not cool.

Huh. Who knew that "I dislike ______ aspect of the game" = not a "True Fan" Can this mythical True Fan not have any criticism of a game at all?

Though the burning and smashing of the game cartridge may have been the first clue that he's not really a fan at all.

Lol, true. But the guy talking about "True Fans" is a LUEser, and they scare me.
Besides, I like Riku in a dress - this probably makes me not a "True Fan" either.

You should have heard the moaning and gnashing of teeth when said "True Fans" saw the game only got 7 out of 10 in some reviews.

The Riku one that says "Tastes like crazy" is mine, and yeah, it's gankable, but the other one isn't.

Is Chain of Memories a GBA or PS2 game? And what are the odds that Target still has it?

GBA, and no clue. Availability, like it's price, seems to vary from store to store. =/ I dunno - the local Gamestop had it, but lotsa people on Gaiaonline keep complaining that they can't find it.

I want this game like crazy. I loved KH, and I have this pixelart/sprite obsession. I have seen the commercial. There is pixel Ansem. Pixel Ansem = pure joy.
I'm worried it's going to majorly disappoint me somehow, though. I think I can deal with a different gameplay style even though I'm kinda dumb, but there are other things that can go wrong. I'd been waiting for Jak 3, and so far it's making me sad...they seem to have oddly changed or drained out completely the personalities of many characters, done totally random crap with the plot, and there are too many powers/weapon/vehicles that aren't really necessary. I know, I am whiny and wanky. But I loved Jak 2 so much. ;_;
How long till the proper PS2 sequel to KH comes out? I saw a trailer-y thing a while back and couldn't stop watching it over and over and silently squeeing.

The KH2 trailer was shown on X-play on Tech TV ages ago, I think around... Spring. If you want to see the KH2 trailer, I have it (though its very low quality) I don't know if its online or what. If you want the one I have though, I'd be glad to send it to you if you have a gmail account or something.

I have it also, and would be willing to send it over AIM or Yahoo Messenger or something, as well as email if you have email that can handle a file that's about 14 MB. I got it from a site and I'd just give you the link, except I have no idea what site and can't seem to find it again.
I also have the decent quality file of Deep Dive somewhere, if anyone wants it, has AIM and Yahoo and a decent connection, and is patient.

I'm so happy I'm not the only one who thought of sprite Ansem and squeed.

It's fun, just remember to add/switch whatever new cards you get. It's ridiculously easy to play once you get a hang of it.

And with subtext like this:


Who would be disappointed?

Heh, I haven't, but between having seen parts of LUE and the FFVII boards, I'm afraid to look. =/

I just love the "down not across" and all the "true fan" blustering.
