Here's a scary thought. What happens if this game doesn't do well. Because already Infamous fans are every bit as annoying as Killzone ones.

Exactly. That's the funnest part of E3. I gave up years ago trying to have civil conversations about anything during E3 week. Whats funny is you will see alot of the same people calling out "sony fanboys" in this thread turning around and doing just as bad or worse fanboyish things next week for their respective camps.

I think they are the same.

Better question is how many people in this thread actually even read the OP ?

Better question is who is that in your av?

He's a games writer, and one of the few good ones left.

This is horribly inaccurate.

No. Not that I believe in that mentality but inFAMOUS is a game that's being pegged down by lots of haters. It's a cruel world and a rather infair play that inFAMOUS is getting. Nothing wrong with defending awesome games like inFAMOUS.

InFAMOUS is a good game, and it looks like fun. Pointing out flaws in a game doesn't make you a troll. It makes you a good writer about videogames, something that is getting harder and harder to find professionally as games get more expensive to produce and publishers are more and more eager to squash any dissenting opinions.

Tom Chick doesn't just point out flaws in the game. He did more than that. The article is cluttered with trivial comments (e.g., I don't care how inFamous is spelled, I don't know why the inFamous city should follow New York's timeframe of failing civilization, it's not difficult to drop to the edge of the building contrary to what he complained, etc.). Many are just his own personal feelings, which may amount to nothing to most people. Then the silly mispelled character name "running joke" is just a stupid idea IMHO.

If Sony feels offended by his article, it's fair game. I don't think there is right or wrong here since the article is subjective.

There is no need to scream at each other either. I don't think it's wrong to hate Tom's article, like I don't think it's wrong to like Tom's article. Everyone is entitled to their preferences and opinions.

The *only* problem is Sony didn't tell Tom not to come for the interview. It sucks but it happened. If Tom feels mistreated all the time, then he might want to find out why Otherwise, it's just an occasional occupational hazzard for writing subjective articles. Tom may feel victimized by Sony, but I think the feeling may be mutual here.

Eh, there was some confusion earlier whether it was either or due to his wording. As I said before, they should have told him before hand, but they can do what they want.

What I would like to see are his interview questions. Given that even his compliments are rather backhanded in nature, I'd love to see what kind of questions he had. Was he planning on actually following through on his complaints or throwing the usual softballs during these things?

Why is Tom Chick the last few good writers left ? I don't think he's good at all.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Fixed lololol

hey sony fans

keep coo' mah babays

U mad? Or better yet, u PS'd?!?!?!!?!?!?

 

[dammitmattt]

So what good game writers do we have? Not good guys, good podcast personalities, or good gamers. What good WRITERS have in this industry? I particularly want to hear from the people who think Tom Chick is a terrible writer.

Best way to answer is to just post this.
