Valve, Blizzard, and Will Wright care alot more about the final product then most companies (although i should have pointed out that The Sims 3 hasnt been touched by Will Wright, although they have so much groundwork, it will be hard to screw up), epic games should also be on the list, but i posted that late at night. most games themselves have just become cookie cutter. and i was being a little general. for instance, if you manage to find a copy of guild wars, ill endorse buying that because its a fun game. but honestly, most games you can find in a store for computer if they didnt come out before 2003 suck or are no longer originalDevilpapaya said:
ill endorse only a few modern games because they fix the problems with older versions of the games, such as Midnight club LA, NFS carbon, and saints row 2.
are you sane? duke nukem was the most fun i had with a FPS before unreal tournament 2004 came outezeroast said:
That's the point I was trying to make. Gamers either do their research before buying a game or they just read the back of the box and believe the game when it promises fun, sunshine, and cookies. I'd like to find a worldwide poll of gamers and parents who buy games for their kids to see which group is bigger: The Wise Gamers Who Do Research or The Suckers Who'll Buy Anything.dirte said:
The deep discount bins at my local game stores are full of games about monster trucks, yet publishers keep making them. Monster trucks are cool to watch at a rally and all, but apparently, they aren't too impressive in video games.
The Hardy Boys adventures. I'm a huge Hardy fan, but I wouldn't take it if it was given to me.
Then, while in the store laughing at it after having picked up crysis, two parents and their 6 year old walked up, the mother sighed and her eyes glazed over as she scanned the games, she reached over and plucked it off the shelf, muttering "This looks good"
True story.

Sadly, I suspect that the Suckers Who'll Buy Anything group is probably bigger and is growing. It's the only way to explain how game publishers who are in the business to make money bother to publish all the shovelware you see in the stores. Someone's got to be buying all those crappy games. Otherwise, series like the (insert something cute here) and change the ending "s" to a "z" games would have ended after the first game was made.sargebw86 said:
It's the same with any sports game really, if you enjoy watching the sport you'll enjoy playing the video game of it.thatotherguy2 said:
That applies to me and wrestling/ice hockey games
As for my own thoughts, how about Blinx or Blinx 2?
I was going to throw Viva Pinata under the bus too, but I got both of them for a song, and my wife absolutely LOVED them(party animals doesn't count, so it can go under said bus...), plus... I got the free gamer points (back in the days when she didn't want to bother creating a profile on my 360... good times...)

I don't know anyone who WOULDN'T at least be curious. I'd buy it it it's under $10.teisjm said:
So I was wandering around the DS section of a store one day, and you know how they have the standard "Hey Kids! Lets all pretend to be a ______" Usually filled with particularly feminine titles like 'fashion designer', 'babysitter', 'ice skater', etc? I kid you not, this is what I found: Air Traffic Controller. AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER. Correct me if I'm wrong but which idiot child aspires to be a freaking AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER much less wants to play a game about being one?!?! (no offense to all the air traffic controllers out there, please don't crash my plane...)
