You, good sir, are now getting a friend request.axleblaze said:I get that everything Yahtzee says needs to be taken with an extreme grain of salt because he is paid to brutalize games. The problem is if you look through these comments they're always full of people that don't realize this and actually claim to buy games based on what he says. I mean you yourself responded to someone on this page who started rant about how bad this game was based on Yahtzee's "review". Now this is irritating enough for a large game like Uncharted 2 (which I feel very sorry for anyone that missed out on that one because of what Yahtzee said) but for a game like this that needs all the support it can get, it annoys me that anyone would be deterring people from playing this wonderful game.
Personally, I'm not very fond of the "hardcore game" genre. I shuddered at Devil May Cry, and came to the realisation that the series just wasn't in my playability scope. I moved on, and accepted that I suck at it. But what gets me is exactly what is getting you. People who use satirists as jumping points for their purchases. UC2 is a fantastic game (albeit short, and a bit shallow in some places), and anyone who didn't buy it, missed out.
Yes, Demon's Souls really could use a larger fanbase, because it stands out as a fantastic IP in the slew of annoying sequels, re-makes, re-imaginings, and half-assed attempts to capitalise on old franchises.
It's attitudes like the nay-sayers on here display that are ruining the potential for good games to succeed on the market. As I was once told: "A satisfied customer will go off and tell 10 people. A dis-satisfied customer will go off and tell 100 people."
