@Noqanky:
! Totally with King Cannon and Romance Dawn on this. Why this is a big issue is puzzling, and the fact so many people treat it as a reason to piss off Nintendo and Samurai pissed me off. Seriously, goddam guy is working his arm off to deliver the best game possible and people both about this? Fucking disrespectful.
! - First of all THIS ISN'T NEWS. He commented on more than one interview before that something like SSE emissary wouldn't happen. Ffs, I recall translating an entire French article about a month ago from June where he wad clear on the topic. People exploding about it now here and on miiverse just goes to show how sadly un- and misinformed people are about this game.
- Second, NOWHERE does it say there's no story mode. People are taking this as a revelation of no single player and OMG NINTENDO THE GAME IS GOING TO SUCK NOW. Fuck people, let the man work; melee is perfect enough without having its head up its own ass pretending its an epic adventure with final fantasy writers. Not to mention it's a fighting game. Single player story mode is an ancillary concern at best. I prefer him focusing on balance and sheer content, LIKE HE SAID HE IS. Because then that means we actually get our money's worth, seep.g that at the end of the day, I'll spend a hundred more hours on melee/brawl mode than anything else even by myself. And really, if you buy this game for the story, you're kind of missing the point. This isn't kingdom hearts or project x zone. It's a battle royale game.
! - Lastly, for those who consider this a downgrade from Brawl, you have to get your gaming priorities straight. This is a video game, not a movie, and if you think lack of cutscenes detracts from a GAMING experience then you need to go play Resident Evil or Uncharted and press buttons on command while movie happens, and leave the gaming to others. And then you bitch on his argument, seeing that what he was saying was that different incentives were needed given any kid could just find he videos on YouTube. Translation: this guy is literally saying we deserve BETTER rewards than pretty videos. He wants to give us more, you ungrateful twats.
Add to this the fact he's devoting time and money to intro videos for newcomers and is even considering a video series like the ones for Kid Icarus if there is leftover resources. Seriously guys, we have gotten several gems from this guy, give him some fucking credit.
! I apologize for the belligerence, but the bitching on all of this pissed me off with just how unfair it is. People dissed on Brawl SO MUCH, and he tries to improve the mechanics of the single player to make it simpler and more elegant, and idiot miiverse toddlers fucking crucify him. Gamers today just don't even know what the fuck to complain about anymore.
Dude, it's okay, this is way too belligerent. You really should've read the previous posts, and you'd understand that we're not expecting a shitty game or that the game is ruined. It's just the reasoning he gave in the interview was baffling compared to other reasons that would make more sense and have been given before apparently.
I admit we probably over-reacted, but your response? Totally out of left field, man.
@Noqanky:
If that's the case at least bother enough to read the interview in its context. His problem with videos is that they were using them as incentives to keep going through, and that in his view they don't work as incentives anymore due to ease of just finding them online. He doesn't give a shit that people share or spoil themselves or any of that, he's just a developer realizing that this time they need to focus development on better incentives for players.
I did read the interview, and I still think he could've worded his reasoning better.
But nobody here thinks the game is gonna suck, seriously.
