| Dodece said: I am unsure as to what exactly is wrong with the logic or the comment. There are a great many games that I do not get as it were. I am also often told on these forums that I just do not get it. Well to each his own, but it is a pretty obvious assumption that Too Human is fairly oblique to common perceptions. Especially reading this thread where posters try to attach a label and none of which are being terribly accurate. So if you have no understanding of exactly how to define this game how can you say he is wrong in his assessment. Not getting it isn't necessarily bad. There are a lot of games I do not apparently get, or so I have been told by other posters. I have no clue why anyone would find a music game to be utterly compelling. To me that is a recipe for looking lame, and carpal tunnel repetition. Yet a great many people around here think this it is the ultimate shit of all shit. I also do not get the appeal of Animal Crossing at this point, or why anyone is remotely excited by Little Big Planet. I mean someone would actually have to pay me a lot of money to even play these games. Yet for some they are the height of awesome. I would also say it is pretty juvenile to attack him on one hand, and then say he should make a game for your console of choice on the other. Which is it the guy is lame, or is he a god to you. This is like a demented Freudian slip. Are you displeased with his latest game, or the fact he is not making a game for your console? I would say if it is the latter you need to grow up. |
I'd respond to this myself, but it's said in better detail here. In short:
"The problem is that THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT DEFINE THE QUALITY OF THE GAME. Customers define the quality. When the game fails, the developer asks customers to look at the game through HIS eyes. Can’t you see the problem here? What the developer should have done was look at the game through the customer’s eyes."
Looking at the way he talks, he appears to be calling the ones who dislike the game idiots, because they can't understand that Too Human is truly this innovative, wonderful piece of art if they'd only see it from his eyes... Nah, I'm sorry, it just doesn't work that way. If the hardcore (critics) & general public do not like this game, it's much more likely the game is simply not as good as he thinks it is.
(note: I don't worship Malstrom, but simply agree with him here)
