I know but I just want to be angry

Good points.

But honestly, I feel Nintendo can eliminate a ton of this crap by simply marketing their games effectively. putting out high quality screenshots and videos all over the web (YouTube, create and send to ign etc...).

With X especially, unless you already own a wii u it was nigh impossible to see a good look at the footage.

If you see the YouTube videos, the "screenshots" all over the web, etc., they all look incredibly muddy, washed out, etc.

Then... You see the "direct" that moment Monolith put out and it's like "what the ohmygoshijustvomitedthewheatiesiateforbreakfastbevausethislookssofreakingamazing!"

It looks nearly like a different game because the difference between conpressed, decompressed, and decompressed again by the time it shows up anywhere. Then that crappy conpressed video gets a screen grab taken and compressed again into an even more crappy conpressed JPEG.

It actually makes me a little angry as this would be so freaking easy to fix by sending press kits with high quality screens and videos to the major players. And it would cost nearly nothing.

And the stinking media sites KNOW THIS. and they choose to use junk screens of junk videos.

When I show people the latest gameplay and tutorial video they unanimously freak out and have to have it.

Before then, they've heard of it a bit and weren't impressed.

It's all in the presentation.

Come on Nintendo.

Yes, we appreciate that you are focused on the GAME, not on swindling people out of their hard earned money.

But dadburnit, get with the program and have one or two people focus on marketing it right and leaving the industry with a proper high impression of the game.

Thats the audience AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA publishers spent so long conditioning and brainwashing. Former Activision blatantly admit it, and laugh at them, hell the industry at large even admitted it again at this last dice.

'Our industry has conditioned, trained, cultivated and capitalized on 'gamers’ “sense of entitlement.”

“As we’ve seen this year, we may need to defend ourselves against our own, carefully cultivated, hardcore audience,” -Tracy Fullerton (Thats what you get, for marginalizing the original audience, for the slobbering obnoxious crappers we stayed inside and played videogames to get away from, because they can be manipulated and exploited for easy reliable money.... At the expense of great games. Entire industry should be ashamed.)

the 'Gamers' spoken of here, are the AAAAAAAAAAA audience. As stated by the very people who spent years creating the behavior, they are a bunch of tools, who have been brainwashed to respond to superficial bullcrap.

Like veins in eyeballs.

But you gotta love "nex gen" eyeballs yo!

I mean you can't enjoy a good RPG without more veins in eyeballs. Lol it makes me laugh how this garbage suckers people in so easily.

It claimed to be 100 but it's not even close to that. Not even sure it's half that. Suffice to say much smaller. However remember it's not just size but design. XCX has a better world design than anything on the market. Only Xenoblade itself comes close in utilizing full 3D space plus the art design.

Eh, idk why everyone was so excited for a game that looked mediocre and has zero gameplay footage.

This is why I won't bother standing in line on release dates anymore. I will either try and get a pre-order in and cross my fingers it goes through, keep trying other online avenues or stopping in store well after they open.
