I really don't get the obsession with minor details with this MH3 crowd. Look, he didn't like it for whatever reasons. The fact that (most of) you registered with the escapist like, 3 days ago really speaks to the idea that you're just concerned that Yahtzee just isn't being professional about this.
Ha! No. You're just mad about your game, so you keep grasping at straws. Get over it. I don't CARE how hxcore you guys are, or how challenging MH3 is, none of you have provided a single compelling argument (mind you, havn't read all your posts) as to why MH3 is a GOOD game. You don't need to convince me, you don't need to convince Yahtzee, and at this point it seems you're trying to convince yourself a little too hard.
Uh, it's good because it's a game where you FIGHT GIANT FUCKING DINOSAURS AND SEA MONSTERS WITH HAMMERS. If that idea doesn't float your boat, then you are insane. It's also fun as fuck once you learn to use a weapon properly.
And you know why people care that Yahtzee shit on it? Look at the first few pages. Waaaaay too many people take his reviews as word of god.
Well then throw me in a straitjacket and call my Larry-Poops-His-Pants because what you've just described to me isn't a good game, it's a 10 year old's napkin drawings with a couple million dollars of R&D behind it. That's not to say that's what MH3 is, that is you've just made a TERRIBLE argument. I've been reading these comments for ages and I'm still not exactly sure what kind of game this is, but I'm thinking 3rd-person slasher with RPG elements. Am I wrong? Do I care? I think the answers are the same.
Now, here's where you MH3 folks can learn something from Yahtzee, something that makes all of his fans treat his words like 'the word of god' as you said. (Or, you know, agree with him based on the facts presented.)
Give me gameplay features. Can I do something really cool in this that I havn't done in every other 3rd person hacky-slashey? Does this have something (other than RPG elements which REALLY do not interest me in the slightest but that
is just me. And most of Yahtzee's audience, keep that in mind) over Shadow of the Colossus, which if I'm not mistaken is held in slightly higher opinion than pussy and beer around these here parts, as it well should be. Do I get to meet an interesting character? I've forgiven slightly shoddy gameplay for compelling and deep characters more than once. Why does he want to hunt all these monsters? A mad quest to find an antidote that hides under the skin of one of these beasts to cure him of an ailment a wizard gave him long ago after wronging the wizard in fair trade? Does he realize at the end, as he plunges his hammer into the final monster to collect his prize, that he deserves what is coming for him, not only for his sin against the wizard, but for his crimes against these creatures who did nothing to harm him other than fight back when he came to terrorize them in their own homes? He finally succumbs to the poison, atop his final kill, in this fantastic world now turned to a largely lifeless wasteland in a single man's selfish quest for self-preservation.
No? I've heard none of these things. I havn't heard anything other than swinging big dicks at monsters. And I couldn't tell you anything that bores me more.
(Goddamn that shit with the wizard sounds like a sweet idea for a game, nobody steal that)
