Things That Bother You About Gaming

[gunswordfist]

Wow, Ubisoft is on a roll lately. They've also doomed the game by putting it up against GTA5. Smooth move, Ubi.

In other news Warren Spector (creator of Epic Mickey) say games like Lollipop Chainsaw should not exist. I don't really know why he's targeting Lollipop Chainsaw specifically as it's a very niche game and it's obvious he hasn't played it and is just judging it by its box art but okay. Spector, I'm sorry Epic Mickey 2 bombed but that's what happens when you release a half baked sequel, ignoring all the constructive criticism from the first game, lie and say you fixed things, and in some cases made things worse. Spector's kind of a pompous ass.

I wonder if Spark defended this.

We did a bunch of ambitious things on Halo deliberately to reach out to people. We limited players to two weapons, we gave them recharging health, we automatically saved and restored the game - almost heretical things to first-person shooters at the time. We made the game run without a mouse and keyboard. And now nobody plays shooters the way they used to play them before Halo 'cause nobody wants to.

LOL, BUNGIE - implying that two-weapon limits and recharging health are good things, thinking that nobody plays shooters on PC anymore, asserting that you were the first studio to make an FPS for consoles. If you're gonna' say things like that, I hope your new game bombs.

Recharging health is a good thing.

The Wonderful 101: 6/10

After Godhand I don't think anyone trusts IGN when it comes to Platinum Games stuff as it is.

But I would like to know what their issue is.

So I wanted to see what Sonic Dash was like and decided to watch IGN's preview on YouTube.

Now I remember why I don't go to IGN anymore. Idiot says he's a Sonic fan, then proceeds to say Sonic CD was the last good Sonic game, both of these douchebags keep calling rings "coins", and he keeps calling Seaside Hill "Green Hill Zone".

Fucking hell, man, if I had this kind of job in video games journalism, I'd at least try and know as much as I can about every franchise I'm tackling and not sound like a clueless moron.

Yes, I realize my being a Sonic fan is making me biased here, but Sonic CD the last good Sonic game? Fuck you, guy.

The Last of Us looks incredibly generic. So it's no suprise IGN gives it a 10.

Do Sonic Colours and Generation convieniently not exist for him? Sounds like a chode.

[talonmalon333]

Unless Sonic 3 & Knuckles came after Sonic CD, I don't see how that viewpoint is so unreasonable or makes him a chode.

In the end, 3D Sonic just does nothing for many people.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

IGN Gave both Sonic Colors AND Sonic Generations scores of 8.5/10, Talon. They are basically ignoring their own reviews with that statement.

Also, Sonic 3 and Knuckles DID come out after Sonic CD. So saying that Sonic CD is the last good Sonic game is essentially saying that Sonic 3 and Knuckles is shit.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I'm continually surprised at how few game journalists seem to have played Sonic 3 at all never mind Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

But that's also discounting portable games like Sonic Advance that apparently don't count either.

Whoa. Well then, disregard everything I said. They are being retarded.

Portable games are only for children and Japanese otaku, Spark.

And hipsters with button-phobia. 

But yeah the whole "when are we going to have a good Sonic game?" ranting is extremely tired when said people can't even remember a game that came out last year.
