I still find this much more effective than reading through 2 or 3 pages of IGN blah blah and then finding an appended number score. |
I find it works out better when you actually have a legitimate reason to be upset. There's a moment when it just becomes absurd. There are some things in the industry that need to be said so it's all good when someone with voice points them out. But when the problem is one of personal preference and you decide to point it out your rant no longer has a point.
And the series paradigm will always stay. I found it really funny when some people began to say that Okami was better than Zelda when all Okami did was try to be like Zelda (for the most part). Okami was actually a tribute to Zelda. I supose if you replace Link with Amaterasu in and viceversa then Twilight Princess would be the better game of the two for those very same people. In the very end the audience wants the same thing but not the same thing. It's like when a band gets popular and has come a long way... if they change they become crap. But if they don't, then it's the same thing and there's no reason to like them as much anymore. There's just no way to keep people happy regardless of how hard you try and how good you deliver. From what I've read, they have taken a lot of things out and reinvented them. Still, one reviewer just said it was the same thing and some forum users (who haven't played the game) say the same thing too.
Still, we both agree that this rating thing is BS. Specially how people are reacting about it. The fans just want it to get a better metacritic than OOT to prove it is the best zelda ever. I'm just happy it seems it'll be adicting to play.
