Yet I don't see Postmortem: One Must Die on consoles. If that seal of approval means games like that won't be there, then I'm quite happy to go without it. Heck, even if it's one of the worst games I've played, I'd much rather have Damned exist, even though I don't like it. And it doesn't exist on consoles. You know what does? Sniper: Ghost Warrior which is the game that I truly actually hate. Might be the only one in existence, too. That, I believe shouldn't have existed and yet not only it does, it's also multiplatform AND it managed to get sequels plural. It's a fact I can't help but think of an argument against the legitimacy of this "seal of approval".CaitSeith said:There is a big difference between "one to dozens of less-than-stellar" and "one to hundreds of zero-quality-control". As bad as Ride to Hell: Retribution, Aliens: Colonial Marines and Amy are, they don't hold the candle against any of the 100 worst games in Steam.gsilver said:There's a whole lot of bad games on consoles these daysCaitSeith said:Consoles companies don't seem to have issues with that. Have you noticed the seal of approval on the games cover? That means someone already solved those questions.Elijin said:I can understand the sentiment, but when applied you get an issue of 'What goes and what stays? Who decides? What happens when products people want are deemed undesirable by this system?'
Ride to Hell: Retribution and Aliens: Colonial Marines both passed the test.
And that's not even looking at the console's downloadable titles. For every Ori and the Blind Forest, there are dozens of less-than-stellar and many outright bad titles.
So, if I'm not guaranteed "protection" from bad games and access to good games, I'd personally consider the approvals of this seal not that good. The poor animal doesn't really seem to be cut out for that job. Perhaps it'd be best if the poor creature was returned to wherever it came from originally - back to the wild, back to being employed in the US navy, or maybe it belonged to that Solomon guy, or whatever.
