They are, like Grampy said, popularity contests created, catered to, voted and judged BY young gamers who believe the way of the future is gray graphics, boobs and graphics. Like the Oscars has proven, just because something won a "best of" award it doesn't give it status or value. E.T was nominated for best picture. It lost to "Ghandi". Can you tell me which film is still fondly remembered? Yes, GTA IV and MGS4 will win the awards, but 20 years from now when people look upon this generation of gaming they will likely say "Man, Wii Fit and Wii Music sure caused a ruckus back then! It must have been incredible to experience that!". And yes, the reason GTAIV is criticized is because reviewed declared the game as being perfect when it had obvious flaws. Many other games across ALL consoles get gutted and criticized for even the tiniest flaw. Yet, GTAIV arrives and its the most incredible game ever. Does this mean that Jeremy Parish is a Ninty fanboy simply because the release of GTA IV caused him to be turned off by big hype games, even though he's not that fond of Nintendo's strategy either? People can be idiots sometimes... |
