I was just expressing why you might have viewed the "ad" to be 90 minutes on why Kaz is awesome. That just concludes my reason for posting my apologist/fanboy "opinion". We all have different tastes (optimistic or pessimistic, more knowledge about the history of PD and GT or none at all will factor into your view of the documentary and on how Kaz seems to give you the wrong vibe).
My older brother plays GT (and started playing the past GT games before me), but with a controller and has progressed through more of GT6 than I have even though I play it far more than he. He doesn't give a damn about its history. JUST something worth noting. I've invested time becoming knowledgeable about the history and it's present and future state. You visit a GT fan(boy) forum and he doesn't. You probably care more about the gameplay and what's coming next than he does, but you probably don't care about the history of GT as much as he doesn't care.
The documentary isn't a tell-all about the history of PD nor about the life of Kazunori Yamauchi. There are many others that many others that can say more than even me about the entire history of GT.
On a side-note, "fanboys"? It was bound to happen sooner rather than later, but I can comfortably make addition to my ignore list, stitch jones. Have a good run, "fanboy-hater".
haha 5 posts I saw before adding him to my ignore list. I could have sworn that I saw him post a bunch more in this past week. Well, enough to make a name for himself. Great fella.
I appreciate the explanation. As you said, we all have different tastes, which is why I specifically mentioned that my views are of my own, instead of implying that I'm stating facts. For me, GT is just a video game that I enjoy on my spare time. I've been racing IRL for a while, and I fall into the category of people who just see GT as an arcade, semi-sim....if that's even a word. I have nothing against the documentary, instead, the way it presents itself. Perhaps it's a fault best aimed at the director, although many would argue that it is a "fault" at all. The whole thing gives off a certain vibe which is difficult to ignore. At least, it is for me. I cannot be the only one to have noticed that Kaz loves attention and appreciation for every little thing. Perhaps that is why he always promises features and inclusions in his GT series, and the falls short. Perhaps its his way of wanting people to like him more or to acknowledge his accomplishments. I can name a bunch of interviews and press conferences when Kaz promises something, gets people to kiss his feet in excitement, only to later realize that it never happen. With that in mind, I couldn't help but to see this documentary as another one of Kaz's "Hey, look at me! I'm awesome!" attempts. Like I said before, maybe I'm just an *sshole, but that's how I view the whole thing.
Also, again, I appreciate the sensible reply. You don't seem like the "fanboy," type. Maybe just ease it with the retaliations, though
