That's right, I like playing games. On the other hand, The Last Story plays you.


Unfortunately for you, your record proves otherwise.



Skyward Sword ...really doesn´t belong on that list.

I like Skyward Sword, but it's considered by many Zelda fans to be the worst Zelda game ever!

This is a perspective of fanboys from the four current big groups.  Sorry Ouya and iOS fans.  You really don't matter.

PC fans.  While there are  those that do have the PC that can run games at max settings, the PC fanboys are elitists even if they don't have the rig to back it up and I feel they talk down the consoles even more because they're losing exclusives by the minute because the initial increase in power of consoles like the Xbox, 360, and PS3.

Nintendo fans.  First party games are a lot of the time great games, no denying that, but Nintendo fans put every Nintendo first party title on a pedestal regardless of quality.  Did a new game just get announced?  They'll hype it up to no end when seeing nothing more but a five second scene or maybe even a logo.  When Nintendo announces a new character on a video game, it's almost as big as Nintendo announcing a game, and you'll see endless hype for those characters until they actually see new games created for them.  The fanbase is pretty blind to third party titles as they can't be as good as first party in their eyes, even when exclusive on their own systems some of the time.  Unlike Sony fans, Nintendo fans are actually critical of how the company is being ran.

Sony fans.  The complete opposite of Nintendo fans.  While they will shower endless praise on certain first party titles or series, you'll have no problem finding that same Sony fan showing disgust towards many other first party titles.  There's the rare super fan that thinks every first party Sony title is good.  Most Sony fans are apologetic towards any bad decisions the company makes.  The Vita has been out for over two years with less than 25 exclusives, a lot of games that are ported, especially when they're funded by Sony, has near unplayable framerate issues, the PS4 has four retail exclusives from launch in 2013 all the way to 2015.  Regardless what you say about the companies mismanagement of the product, the Sony fan will be there to protect it.  

Microsoft fans.  This fanbase is actually the most varied but they seem to be more about defending their console now more than anything.  You've got your super fans, backpedallers who stated they wanted the best version of games which is why they go with the 360 but now they're with the Xbox One instead of PS4, and then you've got the people  that like the Xbox consoles the most, but prefer other games. 

All this is based on my experience with the more hardcore internet fanbase rather than the casual types for each console.  Just a generalization of how I see the fanbases.  So this is my opinion before I get a post saying "in your opinion" like many people feel obligated to do.

let me tell you a secret..we are all the same.

Good catch. Visual novels are the only genre where I tolerate stories being put first.


Hmmm, so you still deny the obvious?

Ok, you were just posting "criticised Nintendo games". Fair enough.

And people will come around to appreciating SS more for what it set out to do instead of what it isn´t.

Just wait till early 2016 when people are foaming at the mouth about how terrible Zelda U is and what they want to happen to Aonuma´s severed head

I really hope Zelda U destroys that Zelda Cycle once and for all though..

I think Ace Attorney is a special case, even in the overarching visual novel genre .

Your average VN (something like Ever 17) doesn´t have nearly as much player input/ gameplay as an AA-game (point and click-adventure esque parts and straight up puzzles when you are questioning a witness).

So, your point...kind of...still stands.

No matter how you wanna put it, the hand-holding of Dual Destinies was so strong, it might as well have played itself.
