Beginning of May was wonderful thanks to visit of my boyfriend (who lives quite far anyway) with whom I spend two and half magic days. To make it even more magical he brought Dreamcast with him so I could finally play Shenmue. And what I can say is that I feel sadness for such wonderful console as Dreamcast to die so quickly. It's not only because of Shenmue (that still makes big impressions, it's not a poor GTA that sucks in everything but it's big and real gangsta s**t so everyone thinks it's great) but when I think about all those games that were on it. It was Sega's golden age.

Maybe if DC lived longer, we would see new Nights that doesn't sucks, Panzer Dragoon that, even if made on weaker system, would blow our eyes and minds, and maybe a real Phantasy Star sequel (okay, now I really was carried away). But what my point is that I even more hate Sony now. Yeah I know Sega hurt itself and that was main reason why it all end up like that, however if Sony didn't lie about PS2 power, showing us renders and mumbling about games that looks like renders from FFVIII it would be different. But both of them aren't a real reason, They are just a minor cases. The real reason is that gamers that again went just for bigger power (power! I need more power!) choose wrong and sentence to death (again) something that really had value in this business.

That's why I hate post-SNES Final Fantasy series that's why I'm not so amused with GTA (even despite I like some elements of Vice City), that's why I hate Sony and many more - because all of them weren't the best but nobody gave a crap about it and choose them because of this "will of power" that puts in the graves all the good things and promote thing that are not so grate. Also I want to say I don't considered everything that sells well as evil and over-hyped. I admire Zelda, Metroid or MGS. I just hate hype for things that doesn't deserve it.

Now GTA IV is first and second game with best review average score. And everyone is so excited and impressed (or depressed, and to those I belong) about GTA beating Zelda. I don't consider Zelda: Ocarina of Time as best game ever, but I can understand why it's was and still is so great. I can't say that about GTA. It's just big and that's all. "Story" might someone say. Well okay but you really believe it can be better than in Silent Hill? In MGS? In Xenogears? Or in GoodFellas? Is this game such masterpiece as Scorsese's movie? Like those games I mentioned? I dunno.

And what I want to say is that I bet is that after a year everyone will wake up and realised "oh f**k! what have we done???" but it will be too late. As Public Enemy sung once: "Don't believe the hype" and that should be main idea for whole this industry.
