Where I stand

This will be quick. I just want to say, In relation to my posts about Video Games, I love everything about gaming, but when I write anything, it's just what I think. My opinion. I don't want to come across as a Troll, and if you think that I am, I apologise  for that. Everything I write, I write because that's what I think, I don't want to be offending anyone or upsetting them. Once again, if I do, I apologise .

Silly Sony

Silly Sony, they do some shocking things. You know how this goes. This constant fixation on graphics - I find this so infuriating. I like substance over style. To me, Sony and their fans just seem to look to aesthetics and then talk about gameplay. Just watch any Sony conference to see what I'm talking about. The PS4 unveiling conference. It was just full of tech demos and cutscenes . Then they tried to say all of the games will look that during gameplay, then at E3. They just didn't. But what annoys me the most is the fan response to this stuff. They always blow things out of proportion.  There are so many games I have played on PS3 that people said were aesthetically amazing, only to find the game was boring and wasn't actually that good in my opinion. Once such game was Heavenly Sword, everyone said it looked amazing, which it did. But. The game was so boring!! I just think people should stop saying games are good because they appear to be good. Actually play the...

Nonsensical Nintendo

Oh Nintendo how I love thee, but thou annoys me! I have grown up loving Nintendo. I always will love them and the great games that they create. But, there are some things about them they I hate. I'll be using my favorite technique...LISTS!! The constant need to be behind technologically - I don't care what anyone says, Nintendo ain't poor. So that means that they can afford to use the best technology available to them. So why they constantly insist on having hardware that is weak and out of date the day it comes out is beyond me. Gamecube wasn't in this category because although it wasn't well known, the Gamecube was as powerful as its counterparts. So it makes the fact that Wii and Wii U  are weaker than their counterparts all the more painful for me. I just think Nintendo should have kept making their consoles as powerful as they could and maybe that would have meant selling them at a loss, but the great games and innovation only Nintendo can prov...

Gaming Industry.... Groan, again.

More gaming groan. It just never ends. Square Enix making  too many Final Fantasy games. I mean this is getting ridiculous. They are making so many, I keep losing count of what number they are on ( I think it's Final Fantasy 100 or should that be Final Fantasy C ?). They seem to forget that they own other companies with some great IP's (Tomb Raider and Hitman are prime examples) STOP MAKING FINAL FANTASY!!! IT'S BORING!!! Microsoft is making Kinect mandatory on Xbox One. I think this sucks. I don't see why I should be forced to buy something I am probably never going to use for gaming or to control my TV. Not cool Microsoft. Not Cool. People comparing mobile gaming success with console gaming success. This is just stupid. They are completely different. It's like comparing Indie cinema with mainstream cinema. Developers talking about how powerful system is, instead of making games. Just shut up and make a game worth playing. 'Gamers' getting exc...

Game industry.... Groan.

This post isn't going to be a long, detailed rant about the game industry. Rather, it's going to be a list of things that really annoy me about the industry or things I hate about it. I love everything about gaming, so I am not going to be holding back. That means Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo plus any developers I can think if will be included in the list. SEGA has kept making more Sonic games. Seriously SEGA, NOBODY WANTS SONIC ANYMORE!! GIVE US SHENMUE 3 ALREADY!!! Nintendo is always behind on technological trends. Nintendo, there is no need to do this. You have money, put some of it into making a futureproof  home console. Ubisoft making annual Assassin's Creed games. Come on Ubisoft, it's obvious you are just doing this for the money now.  Activision release CoD annually yet, the game has remained fundamentally the same since CoD 3. *sigh* Sony fanboys  constantly talking about graphics. I know, fans aren't part of the industry. I still hate it. So...
