Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

I lost it at the bomb throwing one.

I always new easy computers were stupid, but REALLY?

[–]Plopfish 7 points8 points ago

Dude, the bots are on Easy. It's basically to give an illusion of a challenge/game so 4-8 yr old can play and always win but may not notice how they would have won not matter what.

I had no idea it was like that on Mario Party, I haven't played that game in ages, makes sense though.

[–]PPSF 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, each one probably picks a random direction, and then throws the bomb in that direction from luigi on a random scale of how far he could move on average.

[–]In_the_Business 1 point2 points ago

You're probably right, I don't know how those things actually work, but what I do know is that it was still hilarious to watch ;)

Thanks for the point though!

Why does Luigi win the dancing one despite not doing anything?

[–]geegeegeegeebaby 18 points19 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

When it's Luigi's turn, the notes in the music sheet are places where he may 'set' a dance action for the rest of the players to follow. If Luigi chooses not to 'set' specific actions, then it is up to the player to choose any action he wishes at that point. The CPU players missed their cue (failing to pick any action), hence failing the stage and giving the win to Luigi.

[–]OreoDragon 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You know, whenever I played that as a kid, whenever the leader didn't set a move for a beat, I thought I was supposed to stay still when it was my turn, too, not use it as a wild card. Explains why I often lost against friends, and always won against the CPU (The CPU never skips a move)

[–]harpwn 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

its a 1v3 game where the 3 have to win by doing a move that the 1 does not. If the 1 looks left, any of the 3 who look left are eliminated.

[–]Willeth 3 points4 points ago

He was asking about that dancing one, but I'm sure a lot of people were confused by the one you're describing also.

No, I see it as the OP is rationalizing his inaction toward his life goals, believing that those who try risk failure but surely things will work out for him in the end.

[–]thevideoclown 4 points5 points ago

Whenever I played bumper balls two people would go out, then the last two would just bump pathetically against each other with no momentum until the time ran out.

60+ seconds wasted. Nobody wins. Player rage increases a tad. 19 turns to go...

[–]HiddenTemple -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

FYI: Because this Mario Party was my -- and many others' -- favorite minigame, it's worth noting that Super Monkey Ball on Gamecube has a similar multiplayer game where you also have a spring loaded boxer glove attached to the front of you, so you can also punch others' around on the platform. It's an extra element that perfectly heightens the excitement and strategy without ruining what's great about the simplicity and fairness, and I definitely recommend it to any nostalgic gamers who want to play something with friends on a weekend.

For those of you that take my first suggestion and love it, then move on to Kung Fu Chaos on the original Xbox because it has pretty much the same thing, but the movement is sped up twice as fast to make it even more challenging! Back in college these two games, Bomberman old school, and Smash Bros were are games of choice for winner takes a shot, next round, repeat.
