Hey, remember how Zynga got rich of stealing someone else's ideas? Yeah...

EXCLUSIVE: New images of MIke Fahey's dream woman:

I'm thinking more Star Wars and (insert Rockstar game here).

Many of the best products in entertainment history have come about after years of struggle and turmoil. I still got faith in Bioshock Infinite.

Spinach + cheese zelnik and the San Jose Sharks.

Actually, I thought about this as I was taking my dinner out of the oven... I think we're actually coming from the same perspective, but different backgrounds. My baccklash to games like this and SotC stem from the sentiment a lot of "art game" fans tend to have: "If you don't like this game, you're some kind of…

I think we're on different wavelengths. You say, "Why can't you just let people do whatever they want?" I'd respond, "Because I'd rather society didn't devolve into Here Comes Honey Boo Boo levels of intellect."

I didn't say that to you? I've said that a few times in the responses, but I'll say it again: The game doesn't look fun, or creative, or engaging in any way. Some call it "minimalism" I call it "lack of effort/budget".

I would walk right up to and tell them they're stupid for liking a soup can, and that they're wasting their lives and money even contemplating something like it in their daily life.

The Gamecube controller is still, I feel, the finest first party controller ever conceived. It's lovely.

Yes, but people who claim games like this are better than most games are also the same lot who think a can of soup is art.

I wrote the game off because it doesn't look like anything special. It's like the Shroud of Turin - to me, even if it does carry the soul of Jesus or whatever, I just don't see why people pay money to see it.

Yes.

IOU one high five.

Yes. I've posted about it frequently, but if you're not a regular, that's cool. My thoughts on it basically boil down to me feeling like it's an unfinished, half-assed product where they tore out most of the assets and marketed as an "art game". If it hadn't been marketed that way, it would have been critically panned…

>implying only art games are different from American killfests

It's possible, sure. Is that why people buy those products? In the majority of cases, probably not.

They do have something in common.

Yup. You nailed it, sir!

I don't drink coffee or beer, and I use Windows 7 on a PC I built myself. If I'd made a similar statement about Battlefield, you wouldn't have taken issue, but because it's a pretentious art game, you feel a compulsion to leap to its defence.
