| SxyxS said: there is a reason people complain about those 2 genres:shooters and eyetoy-wii-kinect games. noone would care about them if they would not have an impact on all other genres by trying either to turn other genres into shooters(already destroyed resident evil,turned mass effect into a pseudorpg) or by using the money that was used to produce AAA exclusives for casual kinect games or destroying brands(like fable).Combined with more and more browser and mobile crap games it seems to be a real threat for many gamers who don't like this sort of games because As result you have instead of diversity and innovation just more and more of the same but less and less innovation.Many people are satisfied with this but many also hate this situation. But those people complaining about shooters usually don't complain about the genre:yes they hate the overhyped always the same cods,halos,killzone but they'll never complain about bioshock,half life or deus ex which don't use the primitive fps-stereotypes.but those games are rare while even horrible crap shooters like aliens CM are selling more than 500k in the first week. there are also other successfull games like gta -fifa-madden etc: but they have almost no impact on other genres therefore people don't bash them like shooters or kinect. but there is one genre that was even more dumped than shooters and kinect: heavy rain:there was so much hate about this game though it has zero impact on other genres or the gaming industry as it is still pretty unique and noone is trying to copy it. this game was criticized in a huge unfair way especially by the shooter-gamers who never played this game and never will,therefore I think the shooter genre just gets what it deserves. I'm a little sorry for kinect/wii/eyetoy gamers as they usually are not interessted in bashing others,but i have no sympathy for the shooter genre as many shooter gamers are as ignorant and arrogant as those who hate this genre. |
Read that to yourself again.
So you think all Halos are the same uh... and you talk about people hating Heavy Rain. To me HR is just a demo tech to tell you the truth but that's just my opinion.
I think people with your mindset forgets that games are supposed to be easy to play and enjoy. If I want a really deep storyline while seating on my couch I'll pop up some Lord of the Rings, Bladerunner or Equilibrium.
I still play Tetris, Mario,Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct, MK3 and none of them are known for their storyline. They're known for pure fun and easiness to play.
