you shouldn't be so quick to judge something based on a stereotype. Bioshock and Mass Effect 2 are both must have experiences, the same with many titles. The same can be said about many genres or elements. I don't not play Nintendo games just because of their style. They are still great games even though while I play them all I hear is the game yelling "look, this is imaginative... the enemies are turtles with wings, and you ride a dino that eats fruit and shoots eggs! Cah-rayyyzzzzzzzzeeeeeee!" All Nintendo games are like that. |
See for me, the very reason I play video games is to escape from reality. So the crazier the better. Nintendo offers me that experience better than anyone else. That is why the Mario series is my favorite series. It's that aura of venturing into madness and the unknown. This is the essence of games as they use to be, and IMO as they should be. Only recently as graphics improved have games begun to take a more realistic, gritty approach.
I get enough real life in.. well, real life. I go to videogames to experience things I could never experience in real life.
When I play most HD "mature" games I tend to hear the game yelling "look how COOL we are! We are so mature! We are artistic! and check out our realistic grafix! We are just like Hollywood!"
But to each his own I say.
