Two games I am hyped for are Kirby's Epic Yarn ad The Legend of Zelda: Skywards Sword. They both introduce something new to the series they are from and look fun and creative. After chatting a looking around on the internet, I found that people don't seem to like the way the two series are going. I'm going to cover gamers' reactions to both of these games, and how it irritates me.
Kirby's Epic yarn is one of the most creative games i have ever seen. Who would have though you can turn Kirby into yarn? Anyways, I have seen mixed reactions about this game. Some include people saying "this games looks awesome" to "this is not a kirby game this is gay and stupid". Why people are saying this is going to suck, I don't know. It seems to me like people are saying that because it is different. Whats so bad about change? Eventually gamers are going to get tired of the same old formula with the same old bosses. This game introduces some of the same bosses, just in yarn form and different attacks. I can see that people are used to the old formula, but don't go bashing the game before it's released. At least give new ideas a try.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is supposed to feature full control over Link's sword, and from what I have heard, it works very well. Many gamers, mostly the ones who haven't played the game yet, are complaining about it already.They are either complaining about it because of the art style, or the fact that they have to actually move a little in order to play the game. Cmon, guys, the Wind Waker was a good game, despite many gamers bashing the art style like they are now with Skyward Sword. Get over it. Also, if you are saying "this game is gonna suck cuz of the motion controls", you must be really lazy. The motion control was said to work just fine at the booths at E3, and all you have to move is your arm and hand. It doesn't take much effort like running 10 miles every day at the gym does. I have been waiting for a sword fighting game like this ever since the Wii came out, and finally, it's coming. It's introducing new things to the franchise, and it's taking away those annoying block puzzles.
Well, when those games come out, I hope everybody will stop ranting about games, which both introduce something new and realize that those games might turn out to be masterpieces, but sadly, even after the games come out, there will always be those annoying 1st person shooter fanboys that rant about games they have never played. If they were to play those games when they come out, they might even realize that games other than 1st person shooters can be good. When those people who are already saying that Epic Yarn isn't a real Kirby game actually get a chance to play it, they might even find the game to be a Kirby game, and it may even be the best Kirby game ever, but we will tell when those games actually come out. I hope that there will be a day when people stop ranting about a game, even before it comes out, but if there is ever a time period like that, it won't be anytime soon.
