| ioi said: No I simply implied that all sites have different guidelines for reviews. Personally I feel that many sites put too much emphasis on the technical achievements of games rather than focus on the gameplay. I feel that our reviewers get the balance right. Somebody has already provided a set of counter-examples to show that there isn't a pattern of VGChartz rating Nintendo platform games higher and everything else lower - it was just that you cherry picked a set of games that happened to fit your "theory". This is why people are calling you out and why your post could be deemed as inflammatory and "anti-VGChartz". I.e you are trying to cause trouble with a heavily loaded argument. |
Ok well i guess you are allowed to choose how you weight each element of a game, but that doesn't change the fact that your weighting system gives leanience towards nintendo's games. This next argument is of course just my personal opinion but given the fact that you are staring at a screen for the entire time you are playing a game, i feel presentation and graphics are very important, while not as important as the gameplay, they go hand in hand in creating atmosphere and drawing a player into a game. E.g resident evil wouldnt really be very scary with 8-bit graphics.
I didn't realise "fanboys" was such a dirty word, but it did definitely add impact to the title, never the less i still stand by my statement that your site gives leanience towards nintendo's style of game/development, thus showing a preference.
