You just completely trashed the game and called it crap instead of just saying you don't personally like it, and that's a game for which we've only seen like one trailer and some gameplay footage and is at least 4 months away from being released - and even then, it's clear just from that footage that a lot of people will enjoy what it's bringing, myself included of course.) ...Because I don't like negativeness (let alone unnecessary, repetitive negativeness). |
I personally don't like it because I think it looks like crap. We've seen plenty of footage and learned plenty of things about the game since last year. The only things that suprised me about the game when seeing its reveal was how ugly the game looked graphically and how it, once again, was just retelling the events of Star Fox SNES. I at least thought that a beautiful game with an original premise would be obvious. At least that much. I went into E3 with extremely low expectations of a game that's part of a franchise with great IP and even greater potential, only to see something aggressively worse than I expected. Over a years extra time didn't fix Devil's Third. Star Fox Zero has it even worse than that game, because its biggest issues are literally the foundation by which the game has been built.
If you will enjoy the game, go ahead. I don't get it, but go ahead. I don't think it's "just a matter of taste." It's the quality. It looks like a low quality product. The new controls sounded bad last year. They've been reviewed poorly this year. The SF64 controls, and this needs to be stated because that game is in many ways as overrated as OoT is, have aged about as poorly as all the other games of the early 3D era, yet thats what the controls for this 2015 arcade shooter with the mindblowing addition of the second analog stick is still firmly adhering to. It's recycling game level ideas and line-for-line dialog from an 64 game with the audacity of calling itself original.
And then, yes, the graphics are bad. Which wouldn't matter if the artstyle was good too, and it's not. Or if the bad graphics weren't directly because they feel the need to give 60fps to a second screen feature that's supposedly optional that literally makes the gameplay worse when actually being used.
I don't like negativeness either. Nobody does. I wish all games were good and most people could only have good stuff to say about a new Star Fox, but no, we can't, because we were given Star Fox Zero instead. And that pisses me off.
