Jim Sterling on 3D Dot Game Heroes

[D-FENS]

See, it's ok to create a carbon copy because it's ironic right?

I better get started on my "Master of the Rings" trilogy, just as soon as I finish writing "Moby Penis".

I think it's far too early to write off a game, but based on the videos I've seen, this certainly borrows too much to be considered its own IP, whether this arrogant, angry prick wants to admit it or not. Rappers sample music as an "homage" too, until they get sued for blatant thievery. You want to say that "Ice, Ice, Baby" was supposed to sound and feel like "Under Pressure" because 'Nilla just loved and respected Queen so much?

If this game has its own personality beyond the superficial appearance of "Lego Zelda", then great. But, if it's merely retreading old ground, why is it even worthwhile? We've already played this game before, and no matter how well it's "reimagined", this version will be nothing more than the food club variety, unless, as I said, it brings something worthwhile to the table. Sorry for another music analogy, but the very worst cover songs are those that sound (almost) exactly like the original--you're not going to do it better, so you'd better do it different, or people are, rightfully, going to call you out on it.

Oh yeah, and Jim Sterling, whoever the hell he is, and his attitude can go pound salt. I'm not going to be bullied into accepting his slobberingly devoted point of view.
