More Details on GameCube MMORPG

Posted by Zonk on from the hand-holding-for-the-win? dept.

We've previously mentioned Homeland, Chunsoft's cell-esque massive gaming coming to the Gamecube. Joystiq has a bit more information on the title, including what appears to be a hand holding mechanism in the game. From the article: "By holding hands with a fire spirit, for instance, you and everyone else in the chain gain the ability to traverse pits of lava without taking damage. By holding hands with a wind spirit, you gain the ability to blow obstacles out of your path. In battle, the hand-holding mechanic serves a few purposes."

    That's similar to just about any lame argument I've heard against Nintendo and it's "friendlyness".

    I like how you assume I don't like Nintendo, or any game without gore. In fact, I love Nintendo's classic multiplayer games. And where did you get that "Why is a game automatically considered as not good if it doesn't have blood and gore in it?", I never said that! I just made a joke about a particular game, that happened to be a FPS, going in a completely different direction. So don't get all condescending because you *think* you know my opinions with a two-liner on /., please. But seriously, take a step back. Do you find nothing funny about the blurb in a /. post being about "holding hands"?

    And for the record, I feel sorry for you if you get excited (enough to mention it in a news article even!) about a feature called "Holding Hands."

    My god, I can't believe I actually laughed at this stupid joke.
