I have a few questions for you. - What has happened to the industry that makes you find other hobbies to occupy your time? Well, I still game as much as I used to, but mostly with very specific games (like Brawl) or a game that gets very high reviews. I never used to really care about reviews, but it's ridiculous that the way the industry works now, I feel like I'm getting a bad game if it gets below an 8.5/10, and I can't get that feeling out of my head. Also, while I think Blu-Ray is unnecessary, when I play a big, epic game like Mass Effect, Gears, or GTA, it's always in the back of my mind that it could have been even bigger if it wasn't limited by DVD. - How long has it been going on? Roughly since PS3 and Wii launched. - What are a few of your favorite games? Gears of War, TMNT IV: Turtles in Time, Super Mario Galaxy, New Super Mario Bros, Kingdom Hearts, Resident Evil 4, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, Elite Beat Agents - What do you want in your "perfect" video game? Innovative controls, story, gameplay length, etc. It really depends. If we're talking about the perfect multiplayer game, well that already exists--it's called "Super Smash Bros. Brawl". It's just so finely tuned and fun, I can't find any fault with it. With regard to a single-player/coop game, it would have a great cinematic story that doesn't interrupt the finely honed gameplay. More Indigo Prophecy, Breakdown, or Kingdom Hearts than Metal Gear Solid. Gameplaywise, it differs depending on the genre, but it must make me feel like I am there, in the game. Atmosphere is the biggest part of a game for me, along with an interesting gimmick (like Splinter Cell's use of light and darkness, or the amazing physics of Mario Galaxy) - What other media do you enjoy? TV, film, literature, etc. If you want to mention some of your favorite books, movies, etc. even better. I love all types of media. Favourite shows: Family Guy, CSI, the myriad family shows on the Disney channel (too many to name), Futurama Favourite books: Harry Potter, Halo books, Manta's Gift, crime novels Favourite movies: I Am Legend, True Lies, Arthur (1 and 2, best comedy movies ever--seriously, watch them), The Dark Knight, Spider-Man 2, SW:Episode 3, and all the original trilogy, - How old are you? 18 If your interest in videogames is as high as ever, please disregard this thread. I'm not interested in hearing how much you love everything. Thanks. BTW, I'm being prompted to organize another editorial. That's what this is about. Apparently my GTA IV editorial grew new legs and I guess it's time for me to get off my rump and write something new. Since I missed my opportunity to give a beating to MGS4, I'm going for something different. |
