It's simply a matter of what he is trying to say and who is he trying to convince with it. That's fine that he wants more story in a game, but to make a blog post about it? He is not a reviewer. Moreover, he can be viewed as a direct competitor. His opinion can be highly suspect if so. There is bad blood between Nintendo and Sony, but this past few years it has been obviously one sided. Sony started to really heap it on Nintendo when they said that only children wanted to play DS, the only game they have is Pokemon, gimmick waggle wand when the wii came out, etc. From Nintendo? Nothing, really. Except those sales numbers they let do the talking for them. If it is truly his opinion, that's fine, but he had best be prepared to be in the miniscule minority, and have the reasons for his opinion judged. His blog is not a private space. He posts it for the world to see, and as such the world will judge, and most think him to be more than a little jealous and envious. |
i don't think he's trying to convince anyone--it's just his opinion! to me it's insightful why he made GoW the way it is. and clearly he knows he's in the minority. if you think what he says is suspect since he's on sony, it's good that you're pointing that out. after all, you tend not to trash the players on your own team.
i don't get your concept of a blog--things he says there is open to criticism, that's the whole point. same with interviews. if people find him jealous and envious and it bothers him, he wouldn't have posted or said it in the first place.
that being said, it is a little funny. not "PHAIL" funny but well worthy of a chuckle.
the Wii is an epidemic.
