You can't blame developers for your tastes not matching up with what sells? You can blame them if some of your type of game sells on the other systems, but are not on the Wii at all.

In case you did not notice, we were talking about quality and not personal taste.

 

The thing is that Carnival Games was bashed because of its content, not whether it was any good at what it was supposed to do. As in it didn't matter if it was a good simulation of those games. They didn't like the simulation period.

Now even if Extraction is good at what its supposed to do, the "guided first person experience" likely just isn't that appealing to gamers, even HD ones.

And I say that critics liked it more because it achieved the "cinimatic" experience they think games are supposed to have, rather than many gamers who actually want to play them.

Generalizing will always make you wrong. How do you explain the good reviews for Lumines, Mario Kart, Mario games period, Forza, Gran Turismo or most racing games or maybe all puzzle games and whatnot? It's just that you can't accept that Mario Kart is not the best racing game out there because if it's from Nintendo it's gotta be the best. At least that's what fanboys think. Every review is subjective.

You didn't seem to get my point. I wasn't generalizing reviews. I was referring just to those two games. Those other games aren't relevant to my comment. Could you read it again, just in the context of those two games?



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
