You think adding violence to games was a risk? That was Nintendo simply not turning into a prostitute to make money. Anyone could tell violence and sex make money, it takes strength of character to not go down that road. As far as your kiddy remark goes, I'd say it was the immature gamers who think those violent games are the best thing ever. I've played both and the Nintendo games are way more fun. Once again Nintendo uses the same characters, and makes new gameplay concepts. Far better than Sony who has been steadily weeding out its genres to cater more and more to the almost exclusively the shooter/sports audience. How many games do they even make still that aren't a shooter/sports game? I know they used to have a decent range of products, but now they're turning into an Xbox. Sega's add-ons weren't add-ons they were desperation. Moving from one product to another when the last one failed. I would hardly call that the same thing. Nintendo actively took risks while they were ahead in the industry. I would say the Virtual Boy was actually a bigger risk than the Wii because they owned the handheld market. If you wanna compare something to Sega, then I'd say the Wii is a better comparison than the "failed addons" I mentioned. |
It takes strength intelligence creativity to make something like TLOU and take a risk on it, there is nothign strong about recycling old concepts for decades. Iv played both and there is little fun about playing the same thing over and over with no story no characters and still the basic run and jump being majority of the game for most of their biggest games. Clearly im not talking about moronic blow shit up, but games like mass effect where your decision means a character is dead or not or emotionally driven games liek TLOU. Sure theres a lot of pointless viloence just like there once was a lot of pointless kiddyness to games.
Your baseless opinions does not mean its a fact. you can post opinions all you want but facts are. In the last 4 years nintendo has released nealry 30 games featuring mario. How many do they make that do not feature mario. This year alone 4 of their major game releases feature predominantly Mario. Hell how many games does nintendo make that do not feature catrooni art ? While in the last ten years nintendo released over 70 games featuring freaking Mario, sure looks like they are giving up on originality making new stories concepts characters and just pushing mario in everything and avoiding risk.
Might wanna look at games sony releases so you dont look ignroant on this topic. Shooter and sports audience lol, do you have any knowlage at all about wtf you are posting. Sony makes only MLb they dont make or cater to sports fans all that much. Do take a look at sonys releases in the ps3 gen just to see how wrong you are and clealry just posting your emotions and negative wish full opinions that have nothing to do with reality.
or do i have to educate you ?
