| bouzane said: "If you don't like Brawl you're not a real gamer!" That's a pretty ignorant comment. I have no time for shallow, derivative fighting games, does this mean that I am not a real gamer? If you took away the nostalgia of playing with familiar characters then SSB would quickly come crashing down to Earth. No offense, I'm not just stirring the pot but SSB doesn't stack up well to fighting games that have depth, or even brawlers like Power Stone. |
I'll repeat this. It's my entire argument:
I didn't mean to imply I like all my games simple and fun. But I do prefer games that aren't so overly complex as to alienate the majority of the planet. The best games take after chess, in that they have a very simple moveset that anybody can learn in a couple minutes, but you can spend the rest of your life mastering the complex strategies possible with the diverse combinations of those simple moves.
I definitely want complexity in many of my games. But I want the complexity to come from my brain and not from my fingers. I want the complexity to be in the strategy and not in the buttons. A game like Brawl may be easy to play, but it's not easy to win.
