Video games as a medium for entertainment is still relatively new in comparison to it's peers. Right now we're at a weird point in time where we're still between a generation of people that grew up with video games and people that have not. This creates a divisive perspective concerning how people view games as a whole and it's impact on society.
Still I feel that even people that are passionate about games and it's industry have a hard time defending it because we simply do not know ourselves of the extent of how games can influence our overall lives. Just my 2 cents.
I'm not really sure after having played through ZombieU if I can appreciate it on the level that Patrick has seemed too. I LOVED Dark Souls, I like horror and I was also intruiged by what the game did to use the WiiU controller.
The game does a lot right but the execution of some of it's concepts falls for me and the comparison to Dark Souls aside from the death system is not especially justified here. I don't know, even if this is only my thoughts, I still feel that the end product was decisive if anything
Hate it or love it, I feel that the enthusiast press sites flourishing as of right now are the ones that have well acknowledged editors on it's staff line. This might just be me but I'm at least familiar with the works of Giantbomb's editors/journalists because we have become well accustomed to Jeff, Brad, Ryan and Vin whereas outside of Kevin, I don't know who's currently on staff for Gamespot.
