Completely. Take a look at what happened to GTA IV. It was an excellent game that got 10's everywhere... and yet, most who played it found it boring and didn't like it. And then look at Saints Row, technically worse but miles ahead of GTA when it comes to fun. Most of the people who played it liked it despite its flaws because it was so fun that the flaws didn't matter. That's one of the problems of this industry. A lot of games try to be rewarding, entertaining, story-tellers... but few take into consideration being fun. And that's what makes most of those games a "1 playthrough only" kind of game, while with the fun ones you keep going back to them every now or then to have some fun. |
O God, I can't believe I made a typo there... :/
And yes, I always saw concoles/handhelds as toys and it was always about the games.., ever since I saw "gamers" talking about specs and not the games themselves, I knew things were going for the worst. And for the most part I see some of us realize that after the XBone reveal. Just now I saw Shokio's vid about gamers apologizing Nintendo in mass after that fiasco. lol How did I miss that at the time! X'D
