Easily Kojima. SotC is vasly over-rated. What we have there is a pretty stripped down game with very little variety which survives as a classic under the mantra "games are art" and "Atmosphere is greater than narrative." If that game wasn't supported by some of the best graphics and most original artstyle on the PS2...say it were on the DS, it would be a mediocre title and wouldn't be remembered by most people. The game is a paper champion. It has no real substance. It's not the type of game you want to play back through for the addictive gameplay.
Of course, it doesn't hurt the developers notability and the post launch hype of the game, that the developer stayed PS exclusive, and thus automatically has a huge horde of followers no matter how good or bad his work may actually be.
Kojima on the other hand, is an actual great developer who has been making not only good games, but even one revolutionary game(MGS). While he has slipped up in the past, and no he's not perfect, he is really really good, and he doesn't need to be seen in a mysterious "games are art" mystique to justify it.
I do give the artstyle dept for SotC props, though. Interesting stuff. Though, gameplay is where it counts, and making an obviously Zelda inspired knockoff without the dungeons, monsters, or story didn't quite enthrall me as I once thought it might, no matter how purty is turned out. Maybe I just don't understand atmosphere or implied themes in videogames. That said, it does pay homage to Zelda. I give it an 8/10. |
ya kno, recently on serveral subjects i been starting to understanding ur view, I think u have ..i guess good intentions and reasoning, but u always got to muck it up with just a really Ignorant statement. |
I'm not here to please you, if you disagree, then feel free, however my opinion is not ignorant. It can't be. You see, opinions are subjective.
I don't post for followers. I post for myself. My best advice to you, is to go out there and be your own man. Don't be afraid to say what you think and people will know and respect you a hell of a lot more than they would if you were just another voice in the choir. |
im not askin u to be a everyman poster...niether am I, i just dont understand why u always have to ruin ur general good post with baseless statements that u make true to help prove ur point, hell if u left the exclusive part i would of fully respected ur decision...just that one part
