So with Resident Evil 5 just around the corner I thought it would be a great time to write about it. I played the demo, and I fucking love it. The problem is that you have people who complain about the controls. The main reason is that “you can’t run and shoot.” At first I thought “why do people complain about it, all the Resident Evils were like this?” Later a friend mentioned how it was mostly Xbro gamers complaining, and it turned out to be true. I was talking to a friend who owns an Xbox 360 and he was saying how the game was stupid because you can’t run and shoot. I told him that you can’t run and shoot in real life and he was disagreeing, saying that he could. Adding to this he never played any Resident Evils.

So it seems that people who “hate” the controls never played any other Resident Evils. The game is incredibly hyped, and the Xbros are like “oh it must be a good game.” They force themselves to play it for some odd reason and they complain the controls suck. Well sorry bro, not all games will control like Gears of War. You just suck at Resident Evil, learn the controls and stop bitching.

A point I would like to make in addition to it is that people are retarded with controls. As a PS3fag I got Killzone 2, and all I hear is “oh the controls lag, there is a jump delay, etc…” Fucking idiots, there is no LAG! It is an issue of deadzone. The jump is just realistic, sorry there is no INSTA-jump but I dare you to do that in real life. Oh, by the way the deadzone issue has been fixed, and even when it was broken all it took was some getting used to. That’s all you need, is to get used to the fucking controls. It shouldn’t take that long.

So for Final Fantasy 13 Square Enix confirmed that there will be no Random Battles like we all remember in FF1-10. Now while this might be a bit more “realistic” for me it just means I have to walk around more. Back when I played Final Fantasy X I used to run around in a circle and literally kept fighting enemies. This was awesome because I leveled so damn fast. When I got Final Fantasy 12 I learned that I can’t do that anymore. So I ended up beating the game at a pretty low level.

The excuse Square gave for the non-random battle system is to make the player know when he’s going to get in combat and to let him avoid it. Now in Final Fantasy 12 I had a really hard time to “avoid” the enemies. And walking around in battle didn’t help me with jack shit. Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core combined elements of FF12 and FF7 and made it totally awesome. Random battles, and the ability to run around during the battle. But unlike FF12, walking around in battle actually made a difference, where you can dodge attacks based on your reflex.  Now this made the game incredibly easy. It was a near perfect battle system, but perfect for the PSP.

Are random battle really that annoying? If you actually LIKED RPGs back in the day, you shouldn’t have a problem with random battles. However if you are a casual fag that is trying to get into RPGs through Fable then you won’t like Random Battles. There is a fucking differenc between action-RPGs and just RPGs. I am a fan of both, but I like the difference they have.

So how long does it take for a stupid fad to die out? Apparently about 2 years. I am finally able to go around to stores and see the Wii in stock everywhere. Hooray, this has been my life dream forever, now I can actually buy one without camping out in front of the store. However, I am not going to do that.

So why is it that I can find the Wii in stores now, well it’s two reasons. 1) Every mom already bought one for their kid. 2) People are seeing that there are NO GAMES coming out for it. By NO GAMES, I mean worse than 360′s 2009 lineup. There is obviously some unannounced games such as the next Mario or the next Zelda, but who knows how those games will even play like.

Saturday Night Live recently did a skit on a father playing Wario: Shake It, and the father being good at it because of masturbation. I had a nice chuckle at the skit but it does bring up a great point: there are a large number of Wii games that you just shake the controller randomly. There is very little originality when making a Wii game now. You just have to make a minigame collection and you will make millions for a low investment of time and money.

The decrease in Wii sales makes it seem like people are finally seeing the Wii for what it is, a gimmick. It might be a fun console to play for 20 minutes a month, but the lasting appeal is really nothing. Are people finally going to stop supporting shitty minigame collections and stop buying crappy accessories? Hopefully, so Nintendo can go back to what it used to be good at. Making games. (Wii Fit, Wii Music are not games)

So last post I mentioned something about Bob’s Game. Yeah I finally got off my ass and decided to write a blog post about it.

I started raging about Bob’s Game a while ago but never bothered to write a blog post about it. Let me explain some of the history of it. This one dude wanted to create a game that he always wanted to play as a kid. It took him 5 years and he apparently made the game. The whole problem came in when Nintendo refused to sell him a SDK (software development kit.) So he can’t release the game on the DS like he originally wanted.

Now this left the guy raging because for him it was 5 years of his life wasted. But it’s all his fucking fault. He started making the game without knowing if he will get the SDK or not. Perhaps he wanted something to present to Nintendo before he got the SDK. After Nintendo refused to sell him a SDK he started a protest/strike where he locked himself up in his room and refused to come out until Nintendo gave him the SDK. He failed at it. He then proceeded to write a long ass speech on how Nintendo doesn’t care about gamers anymore (finally something I agree with him on.) However, it’s a shame this guy didn’t realize this earlier. Sony and Microsoft’s hands are open man, you can probably get a game in the XBLA or the PSNstore. Do it!

This guy is also a total asshole, he wanted to create the game he always wanted to play as a child and is asking other people to pay for it. Hey asshole, why should I pay for a game that was MADE FOR YOU BY YOU. If you make it a free game on the PC go ahead with that. Add a Paypal donation link on your site and you will probably make a buck or two. Maybe then will Nintendo say “oh shit, people actually want this shit” and they will come to YOU. Hell, I’d love to make money from this blog, and I could, hmm.

A while ago, I posted how the Wii is for little children. Here is a video that confirms it.

Warning: This video will make your rage. And make you see why Nintendo is so fucking rich.
