Euphoria14 said: XBLA should of course count. Anyone who thinks they do not count because they aren't "true games" are probably the same people who dismiss mobile gaming. One of my favorite titles this entire year has been "The Walking Dead" by Telltale Games.
Says the guy who makes comparison threads and sets rules that only 70+ Metascored games count because everything below it = shovelware. Says the guy who makes up criteria for when a generation ends or when sales stop being relevant.
PS3 fans have praised Journey long before any of these nominations. Just like 360 fans praised Limbo, Castle Crashers, Bastion, Super Meatboy, Splosion Man, Shadow Complex, FeZ or Braid. PS3 fans have also praised Flower, Fl0W, Joe Danger, Wipeout, Pixeljunk series or Siren.
You worry too much about what Playstation fans do and fail to realize that MS fans do just the same. It's just what gamers do. They praise the games they enjoy. |
Im sorry but I cant imagine anyone being taken seriously using meta games in 60s or lower to showcase their consoles strengths. Also its common sense that when a new gen begins, the spotlight is shifted to the new hardware and interest in older hardware fades away. That happens with all products, not just gaming.
