COMPLAINT
1:
"Hi
idiot!
"I saw your website about
the retro gaming... You disqualified yourself as a neurotic pervert by
the words "The women on the left look BETTER than real women"
in case study #3. (Wank wank wank, yes? Do you prefer child p0rn too,
becase it uses "newer ware"?)
"Sorry, but you need brain surgery... And the complete article is
stupid. What will you say as next? That Bush is the best president ever?
"Man, live your own life and stop publish these idiotic lies. If
you don´t like retro gaming, just shut up. WE are proud of our roots,
if you are still a child (at least in your mind), you will never understand
this. Great graphic does not make better game!"
OUR REPLY:
Retro games look shit! They're all green graphics!!
How can you say they are
better? My mate was playing one called R-type and the screen and backgrounds
weren't even in 3D!
I'd never play
anything that wasn't in 3D
THE
RESPONSE
"Is
3D the only reason why you play play a game? Is the Gfx the most importat
thing in a game? I played some unplayable games on PC and nextgen consoles
(Yes, I have 3 PC´s, DC, and PS), and the 3D graphic does not save
anything. In fact one of the best PC games I ever played was Master of
Orion II, and it has no stupid useless 3D. But don´t worry, There
are a lot of cool retro games with 3D graphic.
"If all retro games have green graphic, you did something wrong.
Too many drugs?
"Retro games are better because they are playable, and coded with
intelligence, to run on low-Mhz machines.
"How can you say retro games are shit if you: "I'd never play
anything that wasn't in 3D", you talk about something, that you never
saw? Are you sure from U.K.? You sound like a american..."
OUR REPLY:
Of course graphics are the most important things in games!
You can't even
have a game without graphics. So as graphics get better, so do games.
How
can you not see that?
Without 3D, classics
like Tomb Raider 2 and Tomb Raider 3 would never have
been possible.
Not ALL old games
are rubbish, there are a few on PSone that I would still
play nowadays, but most of them can be ignored because they look so
bad.
And weren't all
old games just made by one person? How can that be better
than something which has up to 100 people working on it? (I heard Grand
Theft Auto Vice City had 970 people working on it!!!)"
THE RESPONSE
"Then
you are completly wrong... If a game has excellent graphics, but the gameplay
is rubbish, you will like it? And if there are a lot of bugs, do you like
it too?
"Surely, there are excellent
games with good graphic, but you cannot play a game only because it got
fantastic graphic.
"And do not forget, in 10 years the games you play now are outdated
and with "primitive" graphic. What is left, is the game play...
"100-1000 people working on a game is bad, because there can be more
bugs. And it is not absolutly true that classic games are made by one
person. Yes, this is correct for most pre-1985 titles, but after this,
more and more teams worked on them. mostly 1-3 coders, 1 graphican, 1
musican and a team director.
"Now we have 40 directors. 30 coders (now you know why there are
allways so many bugs), 30 graphicans (1 for title picture, 20 for textures,
8 for character faces and 1 for font), 10 musicans, for each level one,
10 level designers, 2 story writers and the others just bring the food
or design cover art. This did not make the games better, but much more
expensive.
"How many names of cult coders do you know from present game era,
and how many from the "classic" era we know?
"I like retro games and I´m proud of this.
"I know that I can´t change your opinion, but you cannot change
mine too."
OUR REPLY:
I don't understand how you can say 'you can't
play games with just good
graphics'.
I own plenty
of games that I only play because they have good graphics. It's
so cool to sit there and see amazing graphics! Who cares if the game
isn't
much fun when the graphics are as good as they are in Tomb Raider 3?!
I
still sometimes like to think about the graphics in Tomb Raider 3, because
they were the best graphics ever.
I don't want
to change your opinion, I just think that you and people like
you need to see that gameplay isn't the only thing that makes games
worth
playing.
Even really early
and basic games like Tomb Raider 1 are still good because
of their 3D graphics. You can't say that Tomb Raider would've been as
good
as it was if it was only made in 2D!
THE RESPONSE
"So
you enjoy remakes of old games with new fantastic 3D graphic? I played
some of them, and they are mostly no match to the original if it comes
to playbility. I can only say that a lot people prefer bad graphic and
excellent gameplay than fantastic graphic and a stupid gameplay with lot
of bugs and the player figure dies easy without any reasons.
"Okay, Tomb Raider is excellent game, but never say that this would
never work in 2D (forget the gameboy version).
"Personaly I prefer to play a pseudo 3D game like Eye of the beholder
more than Ultima underworld, but that´s about me. 3D Graphic did
not make good games, it just make games look better... Ask yourself why
there are games with excellent 3D graphic, but they fail to get a good
score in game review magazines."
OUR REPLY:
Games
with good 3D graphics get bad review scores in magazines because the
magazines are bias. People on magazines like 2D games because they are
old,
so anything that's new and 3D gets bad marks. And Nintendo used to give
the
magazines free stuff (like sweets and T-shirts) to make sure all of
Sega's
3D games got bad marks and to make Sega die out and so Mario would beat
Sonic.
I bet if they made Tetris
in 3D all magazines would say it was rubbish
because they hate 3D, but of course it would be even better with 3D
graphics! Imagine a proper Tetris in 3D. Wow, that's all I can say.
Like Street Fighter --
the 3D one was loads better! It was bad to play, but
who cares when its graphics were so cool!
I'd like them to remake
all old games with 3D graphics, so you can play
them better and see what is going on. Sega should make a 3D Donkey Kong
or
something.
THE RESPONSE
"The
3D Tetris was called "Block out" and it got quite good scores,
but not because it has 3D graphic, but because it was a new idea. Another
one was called "Welltris", and it got goot scores too, but now
both of them are retro games.
"You say Street Fighter 3D was bad to play, that´s exactly
what I mean... But if you judge games by their graphics, unlike every
professional game reviewer, did you not think, you are a weirdo? You are
in fact the only one I know, with such a strange opinion.
"The remakes I played until now was not allways better than the original
games. Some ot them are excellent, but not ONLY because they got good
graphics, but also because the gameplay was improved with new ideas.
"The tale that Nintendo
give free stuff to the magazines is not true. They give them financial
help...
WE GOT
BORED AND STOPPED.
