Realism wasn't bad initially, but it became so overused. I imagine being able to use an AK47 - a REAL GUN - in a video game was a great feeling at one point. Now? Not so much.

What are we talking about?

johnny139 · Jun 14, 2009

Realism. Hence all the people talking about realism.

Too many games want to be real, and it's getting stale. Where's the creativity? I think lazy developers can get away for not having any fresh ideas with this 'realism' thing.

johnny139 · Jun 15, 2009

Exactly. It's the influx of "hardcore" gamers that did it, though, like Overthinker said. They're the same people that make Michael Bay movies successful.

'Hardcore' in the sense that only mature, adult themed games are always considered better than a game with colorful graphics and innovative, fresh ideas.

...The world has been turned upside down, hasn't it.

"...but this game has guns! And aliens! It MUST be good!"

*Okami crawls to a corner and dies*

Aww.

Sooner or later when people finally realize that this realistic thing is getting boring beyond control, the gaming world will evolve again...Nintendo is spearheading this transformation with its casual gaming, fantasy themed, innovative games that aren't bound and shackled by the restrictions of reality...

Damn I sound like Reggie.

johnny139 · Jun 18, 2009

Maybe you ARE Reggie.

That would make so much sense it's not even funny.

Or, (dare I say it,) Cammie.

johnny139 · Jun 18, 2009

That would... explain less. But still explain things. The real question, though... is pikaby Reggie, or is Reggie pikaby!?

I'M ABOUT KICKING ASS, I'M ABOUT TAKING NAMES!!!

LE GASP! IT IS TRUE!

Pics or it didn't happen.

johnny139 · Jun 19, 2009

Someone find a picture of pikaby and photoshop Reggie's head onto it. STAT.

I have this kickass article about the Top Ten Reggie 'facts' from a freebie I got in a game magazine. I'll post it at Random.

And other episode on ScrewAttack - right HERE. About violence. ALWAYS A FUN TOPIC M I RITE?

Good episode. He got a bit preachy there though. Bit over the top.

johnny139 · Jun 26, 2009

Yeah, I noticed that - at the end the little popup had me laughing. "We're also apparently fond of hyperbole."

And you could really detect the Boston accent near the end there. Make-a me proud to be a Massachusett.

Right. I mean its not like all the gamers in the world are going to suddenly take to the streets and start a revolution.

johnny139 · Jun 26, 2009

Though if we did, it would be pretty cool. Our flag would be a hand holdng an NES controller.

Destiny Guy · I think I have a girl in my avatar about 95% of the time.

Sony/Sega fanboys would hate that.

johnny139 · Jun 27, 2009

Nah. Everyone respects the NES.

Destiny Guy · I think I have a girl in my avatar about 95% of the time.

I guess that's true.
