Nintendo needs more western studios and more original western IPs to appeal to the west.

And by "more western IPs", I'm just going to assume you mean "games with grim, bad ass male heroes who shoot things with guns".

I don't think Kratos shoots things. Besides variety is better than having plumbers and chimpanzees jumping up and down in a cartoon world.

Or Sly. Or Jak. InFAmous uses super powers. Drake isn't "grim." Sackboy isn't bad ass, etc.

 

 

 

So..............you're implying that Nintendo needs to be Sony? And have Sony-like franchises? I'm good.

You know what Nintendo needs? To produce MORE games for the Wii U. Both form their existing franchises, and have some of the MANY developers (including several "western" ones) already under their belt, cooking up some new IPs *cough*Retro*cough*. That's what they need. They don't need to try and emulate Sony. OR Microsoft. Or anyone else.

No, Kratos doesn't shoot things. He just slices the bloody shit out of them, and the main problem I have with the God of War series, quite frankly, beyond the fact that I just find the gameplay kinda generic and repetitive, is that Kratos himself, as a character, is SO over-the-top ridiculously manly/macho, that it's painful to watch. He's SO "badass", that it kind of just becomes a parody of itself. There's a big difference between a "badass" hero (Batman), and a character so retarded-"bad", that he comes off as comical (Lobo). Kratos is the second one.
