Condescending tutorials that over explain everything are in almost every game nowadays. judaspete

they treat you like a f%king moron. its embarassing. I know they overexplain everything because they want to appeal to kids but goddamn nintendo, even kids aren't as stupid as you think they are. the tutorial sections in twilight princess were painful. I literally dropped the game for about 3 months and played other stuff because the long-ass tutorial section bored me to tears

at my new college there's a large number of people wearing plaid, black-rimmed glasses, american-apparell hoodies, doc martens and the like. it seems geek culture and hipster culture have fused into one thing and are indistinguishable from eachother

thats somewhat disturbing I guess

GTA 4, but don't ask me why.

Fantastic story, best DLC this generation, multiplayer for replayablility, I don't know why people had issues with the shooting or driving (bad at games perhaps?).

The graphics have not aged well though, looks too washed out most of the time.

Having to drive back to mission start if you fail.

Constantly being bothered by "friends" to go bowling, play darts, etc. AND if you don't, had a negative effect on your game. That sh_t drove me crazy.

These 2 things ruined what otherwise would have been one of my favorite games.

I tried multiple times to get through the game... I just couldn't do it.

Why can't I vote Modern Warfare 2?

The game had excellent reception at launch, but after about 5-7 months, the game was nigh unenjoyable due to quickscoping, Commando, OMA DC grenade launchers, and pervasive boosting.

what are games that got AMAZING 10/10 AAAE reviews that the gaming public rejected and decided was shit some time after the hype died down?

the biggest turnaround in public opinion i've seen was with MGS4. it was weird, when it first came out everybody loved it, including gamers. people were calling it the best game of all time. but once the dust settled and the hysteria wore off, gamers started to look at it more critically and collectively decided it was shit and the worst in the series. the the nanomachines meme started. that game's kind of become a punchline in the industry now how NOT to tell a story (with super long cutscenes, retcons, and nanomachines used to explain everything). it weird how that happened

japan is his HOME. Why wouldn't you want your home be best it can be? k2theswiss

[QUOTE="BranKetra"][QUOTE="black_chamber99"]

he's mentioned this a few times that he wants japan to get back to the glory days when they were on top and everyone looked to japan for inspiration when developing their own games.

 

is he the only one that looks at it like a competition or do you think western devs do too?
