| Slimebeast said: But I'm only happy that Sony doesn't have any mega franchises. I don't like mega franchises because they always tend to dominate everything else and overshadow other great games (at least in the eyes of casuals they do). I always hated GTA for being so huge. In this generation that game is Call of Duty. All other shooters are compared to Call of Duty and they even have to adjust release dates in fear of CoD. I love Assassin's Creed but I'm starting to feel it's getting too big (I mean AC II is on track to sell 10 million. 10 million!) I hate Mario because everyone buys Mario instead of other platformers which I think are far more interesting. I love Xbox but I don't like the extreme hype for Halo as if it's the only game on earth. Same with Gears of War. And most of all I hate World of Warcraft and Starcraft because I don't like the style of Blizzard and it pisses me off that everyone is playing WoW and ignoring better MMOs. I will get Diablo but I think it's extremely overrated and it pisses me off. And Age of Empires slays Starcraft. |
Seriously, awesome post. All you said was very intelligent and I agree with a lot of things there, especially your las sentence. Sadly, there are not a lot of people who think Age of.. games slay Star-Warcraft games. Age of... is my favorite IP of all time although I didn't really play the first one (I was 2 years old when it released). For me, the best one is definitly Age of Mythology, which is my favorite game of all time. I liked it so much that i was really disapointed with the third one. I can't explain with I disliked with it, but it just didnt have the same feeling, I dunno. And the home city thing was garbage.
