It should effect reviews. So should any major amount of crashing or bugs (lookin at you Fallout)... but then again our reviewers are as childish as the audience they review games for.

Also, you're the one marginalizing. The people here complaining are almost all 360 owners, who have a very valid reason to complain. Stop damage controlling a company you like. It's incredibly annoying. Blind loyalism to anything is never good.

Or an HDTV.

Unfortunately this is what happens when companies focus on next gen and only that. Dead Rising was just as bad and I had to shelf the game till I got my Plasma.

Says the nintendo fanboy. had to say it

On Topic: Small text will affect reviews and probably sales, but i'm still gonna buy the game, i loved the demo, and i'm pretty sure i'll love the entire thing.

Please.  I haven't had a post in the Nintendo forums in over a month.  If you paid any attention at all you'd notice the majority of my posting has been in the Microsoft forums and gaming discussion.  If I'm a fanboy of anything it's the PC, but since there isn't one company to be devoted to in PC (aside from maybe Valve, who has clearly earned it) that's not much of a disadvantage. 

I play all consoles.  I appreciate all types of games.  I can enjoy quality on any platform.  It's something you are not capable of, and I don't expect you to understand that there are people out there who aren't like you.  People who can really play each game for its individual merits, rather than for ridiculous brand loyalty.

Is it better or worse than GH:WT Wii version?

1st bold: Casuals and children can't read...con...firm...ed...? O_o

2nd bold: Also, who cares about reviews? What matters are the people buying this game. Even if your point was that better reviews generate better sales, I think word of mouth is bigger in this case, along with many cries of outrage on internet forums.

3rd bold: So you're saying that "casuals" and children don't want to read the story anyway? Where the hell did you get that bogus idea from? I see this problem hugely affecting the "casual" and children population, because to those types of gamers, word of mouth is generally way more powerful than some review online.

It's simple:

If you don't own HDTV, stick with the Wii.

Microsoft and Sony are for serious gamers.
No 360/PS3 games (in my opinion) should be played on a SDTV.



I say "Good Job" Rare for creating next-generation HD games.

If you're poor, PS2 is your savior.
Who said Gaming is for everyone?

Well, most importantly, I wasn't damage controlling anything, and I'm not the biggest fan of Rare. I just gave my opinion. Damage controlling would imply that I gave a crap about a game just because it was a 360 exclusive. What am I, 2? I care about games because they're my style, not because they're my console.

My opinion is bad things in casual games don't matter in their sales. Ala, Carnival games. Hell, most of the things in casual games, that casuals like, core gamers would consider bad game design. I also believe the Internet, like usual, will always blow any problem way out of proportion. I am also adamantly convinced that, shocker, it's happened in this case. The sun also rose, and the rain fell.

You must think that I implied your motives were questionable or your outrage was faux. I didn't imply that on purpose. If I had wanted to, you'd know it.

Some gamers will get screwed, fanboys and legitimate gripers will yell their complaints proudly and loudly. It's Internet 2.0. Everyone has a megaphone. Something that should just be an interesting/dissapointing note turns into yelling, angry, piss and vinagar outrage directed at Rare, Microsoft, the development team, their kids, and all their dogs. I doubt it will effect reviews or sales of a casual/childrens marketed game. I think we would both agree. What is should or should not effect is debatable and insignificant.

Granted, I probably care much less, because I'm an HD gamer...but I can't help that. I can't help how little I care.

The point is, it doesn't ruin the game for me. The thing is, I'm in agreement with you on nearly all the issues. It's a problem, not supporting SD. To be honest with you though...I kinda like...when games don't support SD. Not because it's a step towards the future(which it is). Just because...well, it's kinda like when you read specs for Crysis and realize your computer meets and surpasses them....yeah, it's just like that. I could give a damn about Crysis, Crysis sucks...but I can play it if I want. So yeah, Crysis is awesome.

I hope this time there were no misunderstandings.

Carnival games, I'm sure wasn't hurt by word of mouth. I think Banjo would be the better game, despite the text flaw, which most people probably wouldn't notice if they didn't know about the big raging overblown internet debate that brewed up about it. See my previous posts for my opinions in an easier to understand format.
