Wow, it was funny up to now, but it's starting to get out of hand. I'm talking about the shills and astroturfers (what Malstrom calls the 'viral marketers').
They're hard at work since 2 weeks ago, and it's hilarious because it's ineffective, but now, I'm starting to see this board so full of them. Every thread gets derailed, lots of nonsensical threads are started.
I see lots of generalization that are obviously wrong ("Wii owners act like this or that..."), I see lots of Wii games announcements, and all of them are getting attacked as fast as possible by the shills.
The goal of course, is to maintain the illusion that the Wii gets only shitty games and not many games anyway. I see the shills intentionally mixing "production value" with "quality" in their sentence. It's pretty interesting what they're trying to do, for analysis purpose. Of course, all of their arguments fall apart, but hey, that's their job.
Well, shills, do your thing, it will be even more hilarious when it's proven ineffective. Some console makers are apparently very scared with E3 approaching. Why?
Anyway, I notice 2 more Wii RPG there. And both looks very good (well, the shills will tell you they are kiddy, but these morons would have called every Final Fantasy up to 6 kiddy anyway). Seems like what I predicted is coming true concerning JRPG. I'm even witnessing the birth of a new RPG genre : board RPG. Well, it's not entirely new, but in video games it is.
These are good times.
