Wondering this morning if the hardcore blogs and gaming sites are subconsciously boosting their Other M review scores a few points because the game was “made for them.”
Also, reading the responses to any negative views reminds me, again, of how immature the “serious” core gamers really are. Irony’s fun though, so it’s all good.
It’s funny: The most “serious,” hardcore of gamers leave the most asinine, ill-informed and childish comments on blogs when a review doesn’t go their way.
Weird how that works, huh?
Maturity runs rampant at Activision.
A rare moment of self-reflection: I am, apparently, simultaneously both a rabid Nintendo fanboy fanman and someone who’s been attacked for bashing Nintendo for the looming turd that is Metroid Other M.
If you want to make a fucking movie, make a fucking movie. Honestly, what the fuck are these people doing to one of the most beloved cult video game franchises ever created?!
I hear Rockstar is releasing a $450 tell-all art book set that “tracks its decade of game design with hundreds of color photographs, illustrations, wireframes, ads and product shots.”
I wonder, does “company infighting” gets its own volume, or what?
The term “girl gamer” is about as real a thing as “casual gamers” or “hardcore gamers”—each term was created by marketing departments to segment the only true group, gamers, into sects so that whiny forum dwellers could feel good about themselves.
Never met him either, but I’m sure he is. Just look at the chest-thumping, self-important games his company produces. Also, did you know Unreal Engine is god’s gift to gaming? Because it totally is!
Peter Molyneux, consummate bulllshitter, throws his development team under a bus and pulls another “Molyneux” all while sounding more pretentious than ever before.
Fable 2 had “huge design flaws” he said. It leads me to ask the inevitable: Was one of them Peter Molyneux?
Out the racists, trolls and bigots, I say—follow Blizzard’s lead and make people use real names to post comments in the forums. What are you afraid of?
