the vest majority of games are not ground breaking... in fact the very title "ground breaking" means that its a very very rare occurance

its the reason why nintendo for example can continue to release sequels to their olders games series and people still buy and enjoy them

because a game only needs to be enjoyable for people to invest in it it does not need to innovate it does not need to rewrite a genre etc

i wonder, however, if i'll see you bashing other games series for not being ground breaking


Actually, I don't have any problem with the game not being "groundbraking" in the slightest, hell, my favorite game of all time isn't groundbraking in the slightest and I stilll fucking love it, I just have a problem with trailers portraying games in such light, look at what the guys in the trailer are saying, I'm pretty sure the editors just took the most positive receptions of the people to make the game look better and that way hype more people up. Maybe it isn't fair to judge the game for doing this since A LOT of other games/movies/music/ANYTHING do this, but I believe that you should let your game speak by itself, if people are impressed/interested in your game, they'll buy it, there's no reason to try to hype us up with words of other players.

"Actually, I don't have any problem with the game not being "groundbraking" in the slightest"

so why bring it up then?

 

" I just have a problem with trailers portraying games in such light"

that is how marketing works if someone has a product to market they always portray it as being outstanding in some way because how else would they be able to sell that product?

 

"Maybe it isn't fair to judge the game for doing this since A LOT of other games/movies/music/ANYTHING do this"

no not a lot... all do this because that is what the core of marketing is about

 

"but I believe that you should let your game speak by itself, if people are impressed/interested in your game, they'll buy it"

lol so they should not try to market their product? how else are they going to get it sold?
