i disagree. it's only bad when you execute it poorly. a recent example of repeating objectives is the p.t. for silent hills, but it's handled and executed in an amazing way. the execution may be lacking but that is partly the fault of the designer, and partly your own opinion. some people enjoy repetition and patterns and trying the same thing again because they liked the previous thing. i don't understand those people. it's okay. they can have their fun and i'll have mine. i can still complain about it though- it's my time and money too, but it doesn't make them objectively wrong.
anyway this gets us far away from what the point about liking a system or a library goes. i too believe that if you enjoy video games, you should find something that serves your tastes somewhere. maybe that's me having broad tastes- maybe it's me having excellently refined tastes. i do believe it's the latter, because i am an incredible specimen unto humanity.
and from here it's another long walk to the idea that it should be okay to express anger at a company for releasing a game you claim to want when the only alternative was the game not coming out. and i've said before but i think it's so very not okay. but even that's a long long distance from bayonetta 2 selling 38,000 units in its first week, which is supposedly what this nearly 2000-post thread is about.
I'll get my copies one way or another.
