With dreadfully shitty and pretentious games, most of them taking the best things from the 8 and 16-bit era games, and ruining them.

...had to get this off my chest.

So I guess that if it doesn't count we can call everyone with enough likes a gaming journalist if he/she himself proclaims so, right?

And there aren't exceptions to the rule in Journalism. Or else, you'd have to condone similar situations.

I'm sorry this Phil guy is a complete tool. Stop acting so sensitive jeez the guy has something to complain about everyday.

I agree the gaming industry can suck because of annoying fans and gaming journalists BUT.

With that said though Phil Fish is annoying with his ego and FEZ in my honest opinion is over rated. Bought it for X360 and it was rather meh.

Good riddance. I don't agree with Marcus about Blow (though he tends to be pompous at times too), but he's spot on about Fish.

"Blowfish"

Honestly, I'm not too familiar with Beer but his comments about Fish pretty much makes me of fan of his by default. To publicly insult him may not have been the most mature thing to do but it was certainly accurate.

The Annoyed Gamer vs the annoying gamer.

Both sides of the argument make this seem like the most idiotic manchild shit that I have ever heard of, ever.

Goddamn.

Watch Annoyed Gamer, understand why it should be called "Annoying Gamer".

You do not know the half of developers!

I've struggled with more than a few telling me their code is fine.  Come to find out, their code sucks!  And you can't just tell them that.  You have to go through their code and find every friggin error in it and prove to them that their code sucks.  And then, they're all nice to you after that.  But ask them to actually sift through their own code and fix it, and you the worlds biggest asshole.

I made this comment on N4G two days ago:

It is time for indie devleopers to be quite once for all.
Let's face it, 98% of indie games are trash. They don't deserve the slightest attention, let alone a pricetag above "free".

Somehow these nerds became so freaking vocal over the past years. It was MS with XBLA that gave them the chance to be on consoles. I loved the split between XBLA and XBLIG. The user knew right from the start where the potential really is. XBLA offered some cool experiences that got the attention they deserved. (State of Decay is awesome, go and buy it now!)

But something like 10 releases over a generation that almost took a decade to end, there is not much the indies brought up that was worth my time. Limbo, Braid, Super Meat Boy, Trials, Castle Crashers, Journey, Minecraft and yeah... that was it. Maybe I forgot one or two titles though.

Suddenly these indie "designers" (not even developers! I am looking at you Jonathan Blow) come up and want to have influence on the hardware design of the console. Who do they think they are? Their best selling games sell somewhere in the 200k - 500k region for $10 and those are celebrated like oh so successful titles. On the other hand retail releases selling 800k for $60 are called out for lackluster sales.

Jonathan Blow made one (in numbers: 1) game. Braid. And that was 5 years ago. Since then he talked so much nonsense about stuff he has no clue about. And that is just one example.

Look Phil Fish (The FEZ-guy) saying "your games suck" to Japanese developers. This guy is just embarrissing.

And those guys want to have an influence for a hardware that costs Sony and MS BILLIONS in R&D? They are living in an ecosystem Microsoft and Sony created ffs. They should be THANKFUL to release their games on these platforms.

IF you believe in your game, you should not worry that it won't stick out of the masses of indie games. It is a competitive market for everyone in this industry. Mobile developers, indie developers, major AAA developers, console manufacturers - why should indie games get another treatment?

I could go on and on, but I got to work.
