| sinha said: That was hilarious and pretty much spot-on, just like the others. That said, personally I'm sick of all the "X2 is similar to X" criticisms, whether it's System Shock / BioShock, Metroid, or anything else. I don't really see how that's a valid argument, the whole point is to offer gamers a very-similar-yet-still-new experience. |
I completely agree with you. When games follow a similar formula to old games (especially when that formula was near perfect in the first place) and do nothing but polish it, why score down for that? One of the most notorious cases of that is Phoenix Wright and Pokemon games. Pokemon games don't change much because their fans don't want it to. Phoenix Wright is a series that is basically an interactive book, and they are basically pure plot. Despite the 2nd game having better plot, it was scored worse than the first for being too similar. I think that's stupid. Not every game should completely change the formula. Especially ones that aren't trying to.
