I just went into this thread to say that I just bought a physical copy of FFIX on Amazon 

why is everyone buying this game suddenly lol

seriously though how'd you get a new copy for $5? last i checked the new copies went as low as $10

maybe you got lucky and found one seller that had just posted theirs and you snagged it right away

I think he meant $5 more than the one on PSN since it's $5.99

I'm playing New Super Mario Bros Wii. Fun 

And I also started Super Mario Galaxy...  The first 30 minutes were exactly how I remembered it... Awkward controls and boring star locations.  I'll trust you guys though since this is only the beginning of the game, and I'll keep playing.

I've actually been wanting this game for a while, probably since around christmastime. I just didn't have the money until now.

because I wanted to play another FF game and because I've heard it was pretty good.

and I have VII and VIII so I bought IX

I have trouble with the planets in mario galaxy!!!! [insert green smiling thumbs up man here]

[Hiro]

what in the fuck

no i kind of agree with that, the small planets make everything feel off when you're going sideways or upside-down

[Samus Aran]

that's your fault

this actually does happen though, the directionals will change a little faster than one might expect. the disorientation is caused partially by the fact that not all games do this. sometimes in games when there's camera/gravity/whatever changes, if you keep holding the direction you were going, you'll keep going the way you want UNTIL you let go. in mario galaxy, you are obligated to change what direction you are pushing the analog stick immediately upon camera/gravity/whatever changes.

i don't mind the disorientation most of the time because i think the effect is very cool, but there are some times where i've gotten hurt because of it or something.

either way, it's not a big deal and not really something worth complaining about

just beaten: VVVVVV

[Kalahari Inkantation]

that's happened to me before but it's so infrequent that i'm not sure i'd consider it a real issue

honestly galaxy's controls are p. close to flawless
