Then, though, you have Pac Man cedx, or Super Meat Boy, or what have you. The joy of these is in their mechanics and systems- simply put, if SMB had an easy mode, it wouldn't be the same.
Where the twain meet is a hard grey area, and that's why Ninja Gaiden Black, or Viewtiful Joe are divisive- it depends what you're playing them for. I loathed Ninja Gaiden, too, but loved the notoriously tough VJ back in the day. Portal 2, meanwhile, doesn't get a completely free pass from me, thanks to its middle act- when you move away from the lab setting- transforming the game from asking 'how do I get there?'to 'where do I go?' harms it."
Capcom EA Activision, the most affected, though? That's not the case. Most affected are the little people, the PS Mini developers and smaller dev teams that are truly reliant on their games doing well through psn and xbla. Not only have they lost a month's potential revenue, as the backlog gets cleared over the next few weeks with more and more store updates, the little people will get lost in the rush. EA aren't little people."
I don't feel it's a trouble with finding a villain- the conflict, if there has to be one is over adversity.
The trick is framing the game as educational rather than as entertainment, and in finding the right avenue for it to be played. I reckon it'd be something well worth exploring, if only to help communicate the feel of the near heart attack I just had at the aftershock an hour ago. I'm fine, really."
I think Apocalypse, just like Yakuza of the end, is suffering delays purely out of sensitivity. Too close to have a game with apocalypse in the title. As I wrote about though, the cancellation of Disaster report is a bigger shame."













The biggest failing most horror games I've played has though is just in terrible character design. Biohazard Revelations is a major offender there. It doesn't matter if you're restricting ammo to make everything tense when the enemy that leaps out at you is a ridiculously comical fishman thing with a distended arm, since it just becomes a joke at that point."
