Reptiles To Do Reports On

GOTY, always funny

posting in a forum that will not go into concretions, and I am somewhat disappointed. The cause is somehow related with the penultimate post I made, but this time applied to the nomination of Game of the Year. I comment on a future list of candidates for GOTY. In it are, of course, the GTAIV, Fallout 3 , MGSIV or the same Lost Odyssey quite battered by critics but which has a legion of fans dangerous to his credit. I, naive of me, wonder where Braid, Little Big Planet and other "small big titles" outside the mainstream or mainstream of the industry. Despite the recognition of Braid as a unique work, the response I get are contrary to my claim. "Clearly it is valued more than 70 hours a game that not one of 4" or "Dead Space is fine, but a 12-hour Survival can not be the GOTY" are phrases that still resonate strongly in my mind . In addition, these people are not to share these decisions, but that has internalized because "is what always happens."

Opinions end up at the defense of RPG as a paradigm of deep play, race videojueguil area within the spectrum. I say yes, this industry would not be the same without the RPG's, but neither would add that without the viejunos platforms, beat'm ups, shooters and other action games. No need to choose a candidate, the press and the hype has been put in charge of Fallout 3 as winner of months before his election. The cards are on the table, just need to pick the wild card. At no time did I discuss Fallout 3: its dreadful possibilities and its 100 hours we guarantee against minimalist Braid. And here comes the big problem of many current users of video games, and is, indeed, who can not interpret or evaluate a game in its genre and its characteristics.

Obviously, programming is unrivaled GTAIV possible with an arcade game. There's a whole team behind years of work, lines and lines of dialogue you have to work, but does that make it better? It is exactly what happens in the film industry. Transformers , which was, if I remember correctly, with a budget of $ 160 million, is better than The Timecrimes or A Fistful of Dollars ? (Both filmed with two huts main stage). The answer is no. In any case, would be analyzed within its respective genre, but is an example of how, with a minimum budget, can do great things.

Well, by what I see year after year, and the opinions of some people passed me, RPG goes deep. in many cases, the epic glib, sentimentality or a more elaborate story line than usual serve as an excuse to elevate any game at the top. So, I had the "pleasure" to read "the best game ever surpass Smite a good RPG" because the second kind is above the other. That, and excuse the expression, I think a sovereign jilipollez. Same with the theme of Dead Space Survivals ... if not got the GOTY should be because they do not innovate in anything (and view formulas are embedded with great care and with a spectacular treatment), not because it is Survival.

Anyway, good sirs, that one is realizing every day more and more of fanaticism and false beliefs that drive this industry. For the record, again, I have a great desire to engage in Fallout 3 and see if it is both and (as) good as promised. If so, applaud, I swear, but it is a piece of shit, I will say loud and clear. What ever I say is that a game, because they belong to a specific genre, they have to impose by force the rest. More when the independent production appears to be in projection.

If not, we still have an extremely easy and safe solution: that the GOTY RPGOTY becomes known and that the "other" titles to play in another league. Surely many would feel pleased.
