if it's optional why is anyone complaining? just don't use it...



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Nothing wrong with this at all. Movies have the option to skip right to the climax. That doesn't stop people from starting at the beginning.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I think we should ban the tric wheels. Why give people who can't ride a bicycle a handicap. It's bullshit. I don't want to work hard riding my bike and some punk kid pull up next to me on his tric

That's not as bad as wheelchairs.  I mean, how the hell am I supposed to feel when I'm walking somewhere on my own two legs, and someone just moves along beside me letting their chair do all the work?

This is like the 3rd time that somebody has pointed out that this is OLD news; nice to see you're excited to attack somebody else for posting old news without contributing to the thread but yeah that's ALREADY been done

 



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Actually it could give developers more freedom to make games challenging again.



The Ghost of RubangB on 14 January 2009

Yeah seriously. I think games got dumbed down by the 3rd dimension, and by the death of arcades. Games used to have to work damn hard to get my quarters, but now they take my money once in full in advance and the challenge isn't necessary at all. So now their goal is to hold my hand and get me to the ending so I go "ooh nice, I'll buy the sequel after this stupid cliffhanger."

If Nintendo can come up with a new way to walk beginners through the games, maybe these games can be harder for everybody. If not, nothing changes, it's just another optional tutorial type thing to skip.

So now we can get a game guide not only bundled with the game, but included right in the software? Talk about value.

It's a pretty neat idea.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Maybe they should just put the option of level selection on every game from now on. That would be easier.
Btw: Nintendo dumbing down games to cater to a wider audience - confirmed
