Yooooouuuuuu motherfucker.
You take that back RIGHT NOW!

Completely and directly opposed to the suddenly popular sentiment that linear/set-piece-driven games are the scourge of the industry and somehow inherently inferior to open-world/sandbox games; and the assumed notion that the open-world/sandbox is the natural progression or the most "evolved state" of a video game. No, I"m sorry, but most open-world games are shit. I'm not impressed at all with the amount of mundane and repetitive activities you've made available to me nor with the dull, lifeless automaton NPC's you've populated your world with just because you've put it all in one big space; nor am I impressed or excited by the prospect of being afforded the freedom of choosing what and in what order I can partake in and interface with all of your boring shit. I see the value of choice and emergent gameplay in games - I really do - but the execution of it in games today is terrible. I'll take a 10 hour "directed" experience over a 30 hour open-world game that might as well be the virtual equivalent of playing in the mud, any day.

Halo: Reach is the worst halo by far. Awful campaign and awful multiplayer.

He also thinks Sonic Adventure 2 is the best Sonic game ever. Let's not take him seriously.

I...I cannot!
Murky graphics, poor aging, overly dark corners in Bowser's castle, clunky boosts from Mushrooms...If only I could.
It was the first contact between them on that planet, not the first contact between the species. Doesn't make it any less lackluster, though. They could've done it in so many cool ways and managed to create least impressive opening ever.This isn't controversial, it's goddamn truth.
"Covenant!"
Wait, wasn't this supposed to be the first encounter between Covenant and Humans? Hey story,where are you going? Oh, "great characters and that shit"... yeeeeaaah, I'm going to you turn off now.
No it wasn't. They met on Harvest in the novels...This isn't controversial, it's goddamn truth.

I agree on the mushroom part.
Mushrooms are basically worthless in MK64.
But the rest is perfect you, you FUCK.
After all the recent news, I'm here to say....
That the Mass Effect series is the Avatar.... No, the Star Wars of sci-fi video games. It is THE BEST sci-fi video game series ever! One of the few modern day classics that deserves to be in the video game Hall of Fame and that goes for both 1 & 2. They can remove Master Chief from Madame Tussaud's in Vegas and replace him with Shepard.
Fuck it, I'll go for broke and say the Mass Effect series is the best new 'space opera' series since Star Wars!
*sigh*
I can only understand your anger (I've been a "FUCK" many a times for this). It is controversial for a reason.
But comeaaawn, wouldn't you love to play a nice game of Double Dash?

Double Dash was underrated. I actually didn't mind it. Technically, there isn't a 'bad' Mario Kart game. Except the first one. Super Mario Kart is shit to play. Especially now.
1. Mario Kart 64
2. Mario Kart DS
3. Mario Kart 7
4. Mario Kart Wii
5. Mario Kart DD
6. Mario Kart Super Circuit
57. Super Mario Kart

SA2 was the jam. Follow meee, set me freeee...
I...I cannot!

Please, feel free to share which one you believe is better.
*If it's any other 3D Sonic besides Colors/Adventure or any classic game besides Sonic & Knuckles 3. Save your response.*
* I make exceptions because I could actually fathom arguments for their side*
But the guy said FPS....I can only assume he meant that specific style of gameplay, where you shoot things from a first person perspective.
I actually LOVE the first person perspective....outside of Mirrors Edge however, I have a hard time thinking of a game this gen that has used it for anything original.
Would love a first person detective game, or a first person doctor game, or a first person sailing game.....but we are mostly stuck with shooting.
Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic Triple Trouble, Sonic Colors, Sonic Generations >>>>>>>>>>>>> SA2
(By the way I was just messing with you even though I don't understand the love for that game... outside of Chao Garden and less than half of the levels of the game)

I think Tetsuya Nomura is the worst thing to happen to Final Fantasy, and ruined Square Enix as a company capable of reinventing itself. I didn't like any of the games after IX. Don't expect characters without skin-deep development or un-feathered hair anytime soon.
Yes one man did all this. One man who didn't even work on IX,XII, XIV. Yes one man hurt Square so much that they weren't able to change up their series for VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII. Yes we shouldn't expect them to ever use another character designer even though they did for XII, IX, and XIV.
I think Chrono Cross is ten times better than Chrono Trigger, because it actually made you care a lot more about the characters than the original did, especially since it covered the plot hole about the missing dimension when Lavos attacked.

I loved IX. They followed his lead after X including his standard. It'd be ignorant to say that they didn't.
Would it? What lead did they follow? He didn't work on XII or even XIV. He probably has little to do with XIII and even less to do with XIII-2. He makes his KH games, which were a great new franchisee for Square that was pretty new for them. He's working on Versus, something that also looks to be quite new and unique for FF. They also put out other portable games that he has little to do with.
So what lead did they follow? What are his standards? Melodramatic storytelling? Yes FF never had that before him.
Halo 2 was the best in the series.

He turned a series known for its creative liberties into one focused solely on milking a series for what it was worth. Look at Kingdom Hearts. Under his eye, there have been two main games and 7 spin-offs (!!). Now, obviously I can't say anything about DDD, but only Birth By Sleep had any sort of positive reception and even then, we're talking lukewarm at best. He also helped with all of those Final Fantasy VII spin-offs that in my opinion they were far better off not doing.
Not saying he was alone in this endeavor, but he certainly didn't help anyone.
Under his eye. So your telling me that Nomura is the one deciding and green lighting games at SE? That he's the one that decides everything? That it's all his fault that these games were made?
I don't have enough eyes to roll.
And yes, when an artist changes a character design, it makes sense for other renditions to fall in line. What does this prove.
Shit Frank Quitnly ruined the X-men last decade I guess. And Jim Lee before him.
He was the director and producer of all the Kingdom Hearts games. I don't know what part of that wouldn't make it be under his eye.
I thought GoldenEye 64 was the first nail in the coffin of sound FPS games, hurting their advancement. Halo provided the second nail and the Call of Duty games after the second one another nail. I find them all terrible, especially Modern Warfare.

Rahxephon91 said:Yes KH is his franchise? Your point?
Wait, you don't have one.
Uh. Oh. Oh, this will not do. Sorry. There's just no way on this or any other planet that any of the bazillions of characters in Cross were as well developed as the Trigger cast.
Back to the pits with you!
Yes. KH is his franchise, I'm sure he wants to be a part of it's installments. I don't know if they are bad, I don't care. I don't like KH. But I very much doubt it's all up to him. But you seem to be an expert here, so maybe you are right about the business decisions of Sqaure. Maybe Nomura has more power then the their CEO. I mean he must have more leverage right? I guess he also is behind all the spin-off's in DQ and FF? It's not quite possible that just like the idea behind making tons of spin-offs in DQ and FF, KH was also part of the plan. The plan put forward by their CEO and other top brass? Sure.That all decisions made about Kingdom Hearts had to go through him, and he led the creation of several sequels in such a tiny amount of time that were mostly garbage? I thought it was pretty clear.
So the power of Tetsuya Nomura is to get new and exciting IPS like KH and TWEY and he's ruining Square you say?EDIT: Just to be clear, he has built up such a reputation from being the creative lead in many games at Square-Enix that I'm sure that whatever game he brought to the head honchos at Square-Enix, they would greenlight it in a second. I mean, they even took a chance on The World Ends With You, one of their first original games in many, many years. That's the power of Tetsuya Nomura.
Yes. KH is his franchise, I'm sure he wants to be a part of it's installments. I don't know if they are bad, I don't care. I don't like KH. But I very much doubt it's all up to him.

The plan put forward by their CEO and other top brass? Sure.
But this doesn't really answer how he's ruined FF. I mean you ignore the fact that after VII and VIII they made IX and then claim that it was after X were they followed his lead, even though after IX they had XI and XIII. Two games where he had little to no input. Then they made XIII where he designed pretty much the characters and did'nt have that much input and then they did XIII-2 where he had even less. Then there's XIV where he has none. I mean it couldn't be the producers, writers and others who "ruined" FF by making them put teen angst and stuff in it. It's Nomura. I guess he was behind putting Vann in XII as well.
So the power of Tetsuya Nomura is to get new and exciting IPS like KH and TWEY and he's ruining Square you say?
