Ok, I'll make this short and sweet as possible, this is part five of my "Pushed too far" rant series. You know there are a lot of different kinds of people I have a problem with in this world, and Graphic Sell Outs are one of them; uggh these guys are worse than fanboys.
Nothing is every good enough for them their just so spoiled to the point where it's not even funny, what these guys do is take a bunch of cheepshots at either games that are old or current. Their always saying the grass doesn't look real enough, or the pikels on the water are too blocky, or this characters elbow looks like a block. Just a lot of pointless useless complaints it can be as annoying as listening to some bully make some ridiculous judgements that you look bad in some way.
Now I'm ranting on this topic because these guys have targeted the recent "Mega Man 9" game saying that it sucks because it's old or the graphics look terrible now, or it's too hard. Good grief, how dare these guys pick on my favorate video game franchise of them all which has gone on as long as the James Bond movie franchise. Their arguements aren't even valid they can't back up their claim that the game is bad, no soild proof no nothing.
Here is a truth about my feelings about graphics, to me graphics are like FXs in a movie their a reenforcement device to support the gameplay as FXs support the content of a movie. Sometimes I've played video games that have good if not spectacualar graphics but were great due to game play and level design. I"m glad that Mega Man 9 went back to basics, when I played that game again it felt really good because it just had the noltalgic feel to me of a decade long gone, I played Mega Man when I was about 8, so everything about that game felt right for me. Even the difficulty which I don't mind if you complain the game is too hard all I can say to you is tough, I grew up playing games like this I love a chalange and just like in sports there is such a thing as practice, it was my skill that was going to win and thats a great feeling I don't get often. On a sidenote I could actually get though the Mega Man games without dieing once (or a least not many times like before) so for any rookies that can't handle the Mega Man games I give this old saying to you, if you can't stand the heat stay out of the kicten.
Sometimes games with the best graphics don't always equal a great game, they can have great graphics but lousy gameplay. It's like with movies that might have a big budget and some of the best speical effects in the world, just because they have these two essentials backing them up doesn't equal a good or great movie if you don't have good/great direction, acting, and screenplay. A prime example of bad movies that have this fundemental problem would be those reprehenable Uwe Boll movies, may the good lord forbid that he ever makes a "Metal Gear Solid", "Splaterhouse", or "Cowboy Bebop" film.
So any thoughts please contrubute, other than that this is my final rant hopefully but if any other matter pops up that pushes me too far beware of me, I'll hunt you down like Jason Vohees. Well that's all I have to say, so just say no to Graphic Sell Outs, and when I play a video game I want to have fun I don't play it to just look at pritty colors.
