Title: Best and Worst Trends in Gaming
Post by: Natef on February 07, 2011, 03:53:15 PM
Name says all (I think I say that too much).


Worst:
Escort missions - They are almost always IMPOSSIBLE!
Terrible attempts at reviving a franchise - Sonic is a prime example.


Best:
Games that actually take skill - BC2: best example out there.
Retro Revival

When consoles put there bit number in the system's name.
I don't know why, it just is a pet peeve of mine I guess.
EDIT: and that's a bad trend.

Worst:

Shinobi and Turok were also good examples. But I could say though, that things have been looking up for Sonic lately, with two great titles released recently, and the return of Metal Sonic as a credible villain    :approve:

Best:
Blast From The Past (Megaman 9, MAME, Ulimate Sonic Collection)
Worst:
EVERY SINGLE MISSION WHERE YOU HAVE TO SAVE, OR PROTECT, OR PLAY AS SOME WHINY BITCH WHO CAN'T STAND UP FOR HERSELF

Traditionally, sonic gets better when segas consoles are doing better, soooo, when sega release their next console, sonic will be awesome again (yeah, I used to get excited thinking sega would release a new console or something.....what a sad nerdy kid I was  :rolleyes:)

But then again, getting new voice actors and focussing on the problems of previous games was certainly a step in the right direction   :gawe:

Another bad trend:
Console warz and fanboys on the 'tubes that flame each other over which system is better. (Even though the PC is the best gaming platform.)
A good example:

Yeah, like how Sega makes a "retro revival" Sonic game, and the fanboys complain that it's not retro enough.


Not to mention the recolor artists, and the pedo Sonic fans-

It says in your name why your a microsoft furfag.

The people that begged me were PapaGonzales and a few others. Fred sucks balls, i don't even think of him as a proper youtuber, and whats this about yme and him screwing each other? The only reason you posted that is because you think it's the norm and has done it with your mom and your dad. And for your info,, grown men can like mario and cartoons, it's only inhuman. And you're probably so dull you'd wank off to a white screen.

None. Panic Attack pushed Cassius in during the Series 2 Grand Finals- you're thinking of the "Judgement Day" special, where Cassius drove into the pit whilst trying to get Mortis in.

Worst Trend: In Pokemon Mystery Dungeon explores of Time and Darkness the part where you have to defeat Darkrai you have to take a level 20 Cresselia down to help while your team has level 45-50 pokemon, and if Cresselia loses the fight against Darkrai and 6 other pokemon you have to restart!

Best:
Games that pushed the envelope of acceptable content.

Like:
Bionic Commando http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionic_Commando_%28Nintendo_Entertainment_System%29 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionic_Commando_%28Nintendo_Entertainment_System%29)
1988... If you beat the game you got to see the main bad guys face explode in wonderful 8 bit bloody gore.

Night Trap http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Trap#Controversy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Trap#Controversy)
1992's controversial Sega CD release in which you had to protect a house full of coed girls from slow-moving zombie vampires by triggering traps within the house while spying via hidden cameras in the walls.  (bathroom included)

Doom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_%28video_game%29 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_%28video_game%29)
1993... The first-person shooter that launched the genre into the stratosphere.

Honorable mention to Duke Nukem in 96 for the same reasons.

Grand theft Auto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_theft_auto#Grand_Theft_Auto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_theft_auto#Grand_Theft_Auto)
1997 to present. Nothing needs to be said here.

The death of adventure games (i.e. Monkey Island, Full Throttle, Police Quest, etc etc)

Where you can actually destroy the environment your character is currently in.
No really, the whole 'Your Lightsaber can only cut through [X], [Y], and [Z], despite the fact [A], [.B], and [C] are made of the same material' is total BS.

Worst trends:
LETTING 8 YEAR OLDS PLAY ONLINE
Games that dont give you some kind of god-like power or character/feature when you get 100% on the game.
Look, I want to be rewarded for my hard work.

I don't think it's fair to tar all Wii games like that.  The motion controls are hard for designers to work with, and cross-console games usually suffer, I'll grant you.

But at the same time, there are plenty of devs who know what they're doing, and are able to make a truly great game without over-dependence on the motion sensitivity. 

You've got to be shrewd, and know the difference between a game that's primarily game, and a game that's primarily a gimmick-exploiter of the Wii's motion controls

Title: Re: Best and Worst Trends in Gaming
Post by: Natef on February 22, 2011, 04:32:45 PM
I was talking about something like this with my friend earlier. You can compare the other two consoles on the market, but the Wii is in a different category almost. It doesn't live up to the standards that the others have brought (I'm not saying it's bad, it's just different).

One cannot deny the amount of influence the Wii has put on the gaming industry.
Title: Re: Best and Worst Trends in Gaming
Post by: NFX on February 22, 2011, 06:26:56 PM
I'm inclined to agree with Natef here. PS3 and the Xbox 360 are basically in direct conflict, but the Wii has got the family and somewhat games market cornered. PS3 and 360 are more aimed at hardcore gamers, when you consider the titles that appear on them, such as Halo, Call Of Duty, Gran Turismo 5, things like that. The Wii has a much greater proportion of 3+ Games, such as Zelda, Mario, a couple of Sonic ones, alongside most of the Nintendo favourites, giving a more open market for it. And they have the Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Wii Fit in their corner as well. The PS3 and Xbox 360 are both excellent games consoles, but the Wii is an excellent entertainment console.

Bad:
Games being released to PS3 and Xbox 360, but not the Wii. I mean, come on Capcom! What is the problem with releasing Super Street Fighter 4 on Wii? 

The 3DS proved that it could run it effectively, so why not?
There is lots of games made for the Wii but not the Xbox 360 and PS3

Mario, Zelda, Pokemon...not the sort of franchises I'd expect on the 360 or PS3. Then you've got the games that rely on the motion sensing of the Wiimote/Nunchuck to play, and the Wii Fit games as well. Wii already has an excellent variety of games to choose from. Maybe your absolute favourite title isn't in there, but you're bound to find something similar. Unless you have a penchant for running around aimlessly shooting stuff, then you've probably picked the wrong console.

You've got to look at it from a business sense.  The vdeogame companies pay big bucks for the exclusive rights to video games.  And to a dev, that's a lot more important than pleasing people who picked the wrong system.

I'd love to see Psychonauts or Katamari Damacy on a Nintendo console, but sadly that probably won't happen.
