His A:CM review was the first I'd read of his, but based on the what he said he liked about the game, I can firmly assume that his tastes do not align with mine, at least. Maybe he just plays games for different reasons than I do. I wish no ill will upon the guy, but I don't know what kind of an impact such profound negative response can have on one's likelihood of continued publication. I assume it's not helping, but I really don't know.Dan Solberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05533033254422893270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209493991369377870.post-3238460611215012262013-02-16T19:28:18.951-05:002013-02-16T19:28:18.951-05:00I defended Brandon Justice's Halo 4 review on ...I defended Brandon Justice's Halo 4 review on twitter when he was getting shit about that last year and he said he appreciated it since he had been getting so much negative feedback. That said, at first when I read this review I was upset that I had defended him before since Aliens Colonial Marines looks so crass but he's entitled to his opinion. I wonder if he'll last as a critic.Jake McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800617964284689398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209493991369377870.post-60178026288974087472012-12-16T20:29:21.604-05:002012-12-16T20:29:21.604-05:00I agree with your sentiment about the need for cri...I agree with your sentiment about the need for criticism that judges games on their long-term merits, but also understand how most game reviews, especially those on bigger sites, are offering some degree on consumer advice, and that advice is most relevant when the game debuts because that's when the most people buy it. Video games are still very linked with the tech industry in this way, for better or worse.<br /><br />I'd be very interested in a site that dedicated some coverage to games 6 months, 1 year, or two years after release. In fact this is even becoming more essential in the consumer space as well because of the prevalence of patches and the fickle nature of online multiplayer communities.Dan Solberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05533033254422893270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209493991369377870.post-72196133427807519252012-12-16T17:34:23.827-05:002012-12-16T17:34:23.827-05:00The wait and see approach takes on another benefit...The wait and see approach takes on another benefit that you kind of illustrated with the 'hype' part but not fully. Simply put: waiting a couple of years actually allows you to see which games are good games and which ones are simply good products.<br /><br />In the video-game medium there's too little focus on games that show their worth over time. If people are to take the medium more seriously they should probably look more at games as how they'll develop over time, not just how they will impact on release.<br /><br />People (and journalists) judge games as pieces of technology too much still for my liking. We treat them as we would a tablet by being impressed by the latest specs rather than we would a movie or a book. A lot of highly-acclaimed technologically accomplished games get outdated pretty quickly and we're left with not much to take from them on a replay. To me this just suggests they probably weren't great games in the first place; they were just good products with little substance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209493991369377870.post-55766412927608525722012-01-01T12:55:39.618-05:002012-01-01T12:55:39.618-05:00I read another review of this game where some barb...I read another review of this game where some barbarbian was bitching that this was published by MB.. who are a toy company.<br>Actually it's written by Natsume who are one of the best old school cult Japanese game developers.
