Nintendo needed third parties to beat Sega. So what? Graphics are a natural element to videogames. It seems to frustrate you that high end graphics dont matter to Nintendo because they like to keep their costs low and profits high. You're discounting them but for all the wrong reasons. Without graphics you have no primary visual and this goes all the way back to pong. Pixels, the visual element...is graphics. You're knocking the competition just because Nintendo doesn't excell with it. Sony is an entertainment brand that owns movie houses of course they are going to try to dazzle an audience with the best spectacle they can, but sometimes its needed for a great story and Last of Us proved it. Hell...they proved it with barely any story in SOTC. The gameplay was the story...and what a beautiful one it was in deed. Sony takes chances. Thats just how it is. |
@bold. So are input methods. Which is the gimmick, it's all in the eyes of the beholder. You call evolutions in input methods gimmicks, I call graphical evolutions gimmicks. Ultimately, it's just our stupid opinions and nobody cares. The reality though is that words like gimmick make you sound like a clown. It's better if neither you nor I use them.
@2. Tetris, a game with 0 story, propelled the gameboy to stardom. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
