The site has… not really fulfilled its potential. The reason, as far as I’m concerned, sits in coverage such as this.
Oy.
Good job, man. You not only noticed Mega‘s tiny booth; you found the courage to ridicule them for their obscurity. Use your knowledge well. Don’t waste it on bragging alone. Remember, you’re getting paid for this!
The sad thing is, what you see here is pretty standard behavior in the gaming media. On a good day.
1up… loses many points for this in my book. It would seem the current gaming media is full of elitist pricks at the moment. Are articles like this the problem itself, or just a symptom? What is the cure?
I’m usually more kind to the mainstream gaming media than you.
That’s so when they do fuck up like this, I unleash my full wrath!
Rapid Integral Attack, go!
Upon whom?
Well, being an integral, it sums all the offenses of game media into one handy function!
Meanwhile insert credit, remains without the moneys for being friendly!
yeah, there are lots of errors in that. It could’ve been worse though!
If all goes well, we’ll have a nice interview coming soon.
Except to Square.
It sure could have been. It’s just — what is up with that dismissive tone? I wonder why he even brought it up if all he was going to do was grumble about how none of it matters.
Aside from word count.
(Disclaimer: I found this just after another GDC-related 1-Up article that pissed off the Ombudsman to no end — and with good reason, from what I could see. Again, it was completely dismissive of a speech by John Carmack — one from which GameSpy was able to cull some rather interesting quotes.)
Insert Credit seems to make a habit of rooting hardest for the little guys (doujin groups and Treasure). It only makes sense that larger companies like Square or Microsoft take a great deal of heat.
It’s almost like a Bizarro-gaming press.
yeah, it’s true. It would be better to just have a news ticker style thing saying “this just in: metal slug online will exist eventually”
or something.
I need to write things.
