What it tells me is that you don't really know what you want yourself, if you are telling the truth here. Your value metrics for games just seem to be so inconsistent. You say you like classic games, but then you should be fine with good graphics. You see, you are being called things like "graphics whore" in this thread, because good graphics (those of NSMB2) are not good enough for you. That's how graphic whores are identified; these people even speak out against games with great gameplay, simply because the graphics aren't the most amazing thing in the world. Other people look at the NSMB2 screenshots and think "It's about damn time.", but you make a fuss about it, because it doesn't have state-of-the-art graphics. If you like classic games and have witnessed the Metroid: Other M debacle (one of the bestlooking Wii games), then what you should be looking for are the things that made classic games great; and these things weren't graphics. Otherwise MOM would have been a great game instead of something that was spitting on the legacy of the Metroid series. |
I am telling the truth, and now that you've put yourself in the right mindframe you are starting to find answers...
When you asked me about SMG2, I told you it was good, and I was happy about it. When you showed me XB:C, I said it was GREAT, and I know you agree. I would've been a graphics whore if, after you showing me the vid, I would've said: "It's true, SMG2 is crap", and you know that's not what I said. But I did say I was underwhelmed by NSMB2. I know you understand what I mean by this. Also, I even explained why I was underwhelmed, and it was due to 1) A lack of effort and 2) A lack of creativity (cheesiness).
" You say you like classic games, but then you should be fine with good graphics."
But I do like classic games, and I am fine with good graphics. All the classics have good graphics in my eyes. The new stuff (NSMB2, Punch Out!! Wii) mostly doesn't, it lacks quality in my eyes.
"and these things weren't graphics."
I disagree Rol. I don't know when you started gaming, but to me, the graphics for all my favorite NES games appeal to me. I even never owned Kirby's dreamland on gameboy and DL'd it on my 3DS and thoroughly enjoyed the graphics. That's why I'm NOT a graphics whore, I appreciate presentation in and of itself, irrespective of platform...
Gameplay is important, actually it's fundamental. But when a game has bad presentation, it can completely turn me off. Hence why presentation is paramount for me as well. I don't know why you don't understand this...
Ultimately you will hopefully at the very least SEE my point of view, regardless of whether you agree with it or not. That is my wish. My wish isn't that you agree with me, my wish is simply that you understand where I'm coming from.
