If I want to read a review I want to actually read it. I dont want gratuitously massive images breaking up the article for no reason. If I want to see pictures or video of a game Ill go look for them I dont need them in between every paragraph.
Also I am really put off by their general attitude. From the way they talk they act like they're fucking curing cancer. You're making a website about videogames that's it, get off your high horse.
I think she's kinda entertaining and I really don't see a huge difference in humor between the first and second game. Get over yourself and stop pretending you have such a sophisticated sense of humor that this game is below you and you feel the need to complain about some secondary character.
I think that anybody who makes broad generalizations about games' value as entertainment impacts the community negatively. However I am definitely sick of hearing some of these vocal indie developers talking shit about anything that is made by more than 3 people. The bottom line is that if a game is fun to play thats what I care about. Ive played some amazing AAA titles as well as shitty Indie titles and vice versa. The elitist indie devs need to get off their high horse and be thankful for the AAA devs who make it possible for them to have a platform to develop on. Sony and Microsoft are not gonna be able to support the PS4 and new Xbox on Fez 2 and Braid 2 but there is an audience for both types of games. Who cares who makes the game as long as someone enjoys it? Alienating potential customers because they like Call of Duty is stupid when selling more copies of your "high concept" game will help you make another one.
At the end of the day I am more excited to play Borderlands 2 and Assassins Creed 3 than some indie game that is less derivative but only fleetingly entertaining.
I was a little disappointed that they just dismissed FF7 saying it was only a good game to people who had nostalgic feelings about it. They should have taken into account the fact that the emailer had never played an FF game so most likely hasnt had a lot of experience with JRPGs in general. When I got it for my new PSX when I was younger it was the first FF I ever played and it is still one of my favorite RPGs. Its a great starting point and I played through it recently and I still enjoyed it even beyond my nostalgic feelings about it.
