Were you reading that article in bizarro world? I saw unchecked Destiny praise and a chance to venerate Sony and Microsoft. |
I think one of us was but I'm not sure it was me. The only praise for Destiny seemed of the "it sold a lot of copies" type, which he then turns into talk about how over-hyped it was--none of which really has much to do with Super Smash Bros.
"Destiny spent a couple years as a much-hyped Next Generation of Gaming talking point, which explains the sense of curious disappointment–oh, this thing isn’t the greatest thing ever! And Destiny completes the 2014 Disappointment Trilogy that started with Titanfall"
"None of these games ever experience the next-best-thing ever hype cycle of Destinyor Watch Dogs or Halo A Billion or whatever mega-game Sony and Microsoft are releasing next."
"Even when Nintendo had its strong late-2000s comeback, it still felt strange to try to compare Nintendo’s signal product (Mario Galaxy and Wii Fit and Nintendogs) to the overstuffed mega-games on Playstation and Xbox"
It's pretty clear how he feels about Sony and Microsoft.
Forget that for a moment, though. I want to know what the last paragraph is even supposed to mean.
"Isn’t that possible that someday everything will be Smash Bros.? And is it possible that that’s not a bad thing–or anyhow, that it’s not as bad as everything being Destiny?"
It's like he's try to create the perfect straw-man argument. Isn't a future where neither of those things are true easily the best? I sure as heck don't want everything to be Smash Bros.
