PC Genjin 3 is kind of boring

[soop]

I don't know what it is, but I was playing through last week, and I think I got pretty far, but then I just left it on pause for an entire day until a friend came around, and we had to switch it off to play Soldier Blade.

One problem I have is that there doesn't seem to be any purpose in getting the smileys, as all they let you do is play the bonus games.  But other than that, it really lacks the fun of the other two somehow.

Oops... I'm gonna edit my post now

[Tatsujin]

ah, much more sense now it does make

And I kind of agree with you. imo as well it is the most boring one of the three, even it has some funny shit init.
still a good game tho

Play it two player.

Play it two player.

I find the two player mode to be a little too much.  Ya kinda get in each other's way, although it was a nice touch.    I actually like 3 a lot, but 2 is my favorite.

2 is my favorite.  Forgot there was a 2 player mode!  Is that on the CD one only, or the HuCard one too?

Bah, you're crazy.  Bonk 3 is clearly the best of the bunch. 

One problem I have is that there doesn't seem to be any purpose in getting the smileys, as all they let you do is play the bonus games.

The smileys serve the same purpose as in the other games - points, refilling your life meter, and earning extra lives.  The only difference being that Bonk 3 makes you play (and excel at) the minigames instead of just giving it all to you for free.

How do you get lives from the games?  Getting every smiley?

I thought I was spending smileys to try and win less smileys.

[Necromancer]

How do you get lives from the games?  Getting every smiley?

You get an extra guy for every x number of points.

[soop]

Bah, the lift system was way better.

Why do you think their is not a four? :-"

Two was completely off the hook, I will agree ( especially with topless dino-mamas ), but three was more of a gimick. It was fun as well, but I believe the SNES is also probably fault of that. They were not thinking in terms of a fun game, but more in terms of young children?

The same probably occured with Y's 4 SFC. Which is totally bdsm by Y's 4 PCE.
Then Y's 5 comes along and everybody says it is too easy So they made a second Y's 5. The complete reversal of FF4 ( or was it FF5? ).

I know, I hate when something cool, totaly goes commercial. I so want to check out that "South Park RPG" but alas I do not even know what it feels like to own a PS3, and I certainly do not want to feel like what it is to own a 360.

It's the same problem with all the Bonk games, really. You end up collecting so many smileys and 1ups that the whole thing becomes pointless. There's no incentive to keep amassing 1ups you don't need to finish the game. It becomes pointless busywork and I end up just not caring anymore. After playing through these games tens of times, it's actually more fun to try to finish them collecting as few 1ups as possible. At least then there is some challenge.
