wow the sarcasm in this thread is saddening. You people must have never picked up a dovstoyevski or watched a Hitchock and don't want to see anything comparable in games either.

 

It is extremely obvious that you have obvioulsy missed the irony that is your OP.  This thread fails with the amount of irony in your OP.

 

Here, let me summarize for you "N is destroying gaming, focus on fun = anti-gaming"

I think you people are missing his argument.

He is stating Nintendo is throwing away Zelda and Mario Platformer gamers for Mario Party, Wii Music, Wii Sports, and mini-game players.

It's quite apparent that Nintendo are in a different market to Microsoft and Sony now. No need for the 'destroying the industry' bullshit though.

Yes, how dare you people enjoy life! Life is to be nothing but misery and introspection. You are not allowed to have friends, play games with each other, and have fun.

You've made it quite clear already how uncultured you are. You have a problem with people wanting something in videogames that we already have in other forms of creation: art and relevance.

 

Exactly! Video Games aren't about fun, they're about appealing to a mythical standard set aside just for the self-claimed intellectual minority! Curse you Nintendo! How dare you make Video Games that appeal to people other than those who sit around frat lounges playing Halo and Gears of War, work two jobs to feed their World of Warcraft addiction, play Grand Theft Auto like its a religion or view MGS2 as not just a game, but a life changing experience.

 

 

A number of people have called MGS2 a life changing experience, including James Howell who if you have read his articles you know is an extremely intelligent and articulate person, well above the average population.

 

Yeah man, a game about bisexual vampires, annoying blonde manchildren, over-the-top government conspiracies, and thinly-veiled incest totally changed my life, too! Hey, IM me and let's talk about how much we cried when Aeris died.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Mario Party has been here since the N64 days. I don't see how that would count.

Yep. I just finished watching E3. Seems like the reason there was no major excitement going into E3 from Nintendo is because they DIDN'T have anything to show. The more I think about it, the madder I get! Where's that fucking panda!?

Huh.  The GGE account is posting.  Funny that.

If you cannot separate the outside appearence of characters from the message they and the plot convey you are very narrow minded indeed. You're nitpicking on the package rather then the content.

 Okay, after the first one, I was just going to let it pass, but...

It's Dostoyevski or Dostoevsky, not Dovstoyevski (several spellings are allowed because the name is originally in the Russian alphabet, but the spelling you've chosen is not among them).

It's Ingmar, not Immar Bergman.

Not particularly picky about these things usually, but since the entire purpose of your posts was to impress upon us the intellectual grandeur that these artists (and you, their purveyor) possess, the irony was too thick to ignore.

 

Now that's funny.
