Jonathan Blow Resume:

Braid (Ps3) - Metascore 93

The Witness (Ps4) - Metascore 87 

-------------------------------------------------

The guy is obviously a GREAT developer with an amazing vision for innovative games. He has all the right to complain for piracy no matter of severe the situation is. If 1 guy download the game ilegally, that is one guy that is robbing his pockets.

-------------------------------------------------

The amazing thing is, that im seeing people on this thread complaining about Jonathan attitude, when they themselves supported and defended silly twitter rants from people like Tomonobu Itagaki when people were shitting on The Devil's Third, and from Shinji Mikami who is the No. 1 complainer on the internet, which also insults fans almost on a daily basis.

--------------------------------------------------

Im just glad the game is selling great and that Jonathan is pleased, cant wait to see more games from him. He is a proven genious.

I just wish he didnt take so long between games.

Also, the Ps4/PC Combo has been killing it lately from several games. It is a formula for success apparently.

Cant wait to see how Street Fighter V will sell.

 

He's a good developer, but 87 is not impressive for a 7 year dev cycle. Braid had a 3 year dev cycle with Blow working only 3-4 hours a day compared to full time on the witness. If you don't even factor that in, Braid got a Netacritic score of 31 for every year in development and The Witness got a metacritic of 12.4 per year in development. Take in to factor the huge difference in hours and the gap is even more striking. 

 

So yeah, both games are good but his efficiency in greating a the good game out of the Witness is very low.

 

So now we are dividing the years of development with the Metacritc score?

Wow...

VGChartz never cease to amaze me.
