Katana314's Profile

Katana314 commented on: "Mature" games that are actually mature
	YEEEEEEESSS!!! There are about 6 billion people who don't realize how mature Phoenix Wright is. The second game (Justice for All) has a case that presents a choice to the player that even the most mature of us can't handle; essentially deciding what you believe about justice entirely, and there IS no clear-cut answer. Everyone who likes "mature" games needs to play that series. (and on that note, Hotel Dusk is pretty good too)

Katana314 commented on: How Metacritic rules the games industry
	On the one hand, Metacritic allows people to have a quick way to base their buying instead of just getting whatever looks the shiniest. On the other hand, we are putting a lot of power into reviewers; sometimes perhaps too much, as they can pretty much decide with some altered scores which games succeed. We need to be sure we're not dismissing games just because they're below a certain score. Dead Space scored higher than Assassin's Creed, but I readily call Dead Space "Doom 4: Aliens Attacking Yet Again" whereas Assassin's Creed, while imperfect, was new and interesting. End of the line; to support your local developer, try to be looking past the Metacritic review. It's like using Wikipedia for reference; you never know.
