Interesting thread; there's something intrinsically good about reading someone's opinion, even if it's totally the opposite of one's own. Makes forming and refining an opinion more sophisticated, I guess.
Now the thing I'd like to add is that there's a lot of manipulation going on. For instance the starting post, which is imo, nothing less than an incoherent mess driven purely by negative emotions. Starting with a list of what's wrong with the game, which should be a nice way of starting when you're trying to convince people. However, due to the fact that it's full of preposterous superlatives (see what I did there?) and total non-objectiveness that makes it bear no value at all toward reaching the goal of actually getting those improvements. I mean, mentioning:
ridiculous online features...
The game provides the possibility to drive, race and drift with 16 people with some basic voice chat. What's ridiculous about it? Or do you mean that it could be improved? In that case...wording it by saying 'ridiculous' is pretty
ridiculous in itself (the irony...). See what I mean about no objectiveness at all?
still no community update...still no new track... still no track editor...
From the very start, it was very clear that this was going to be included 'in the future'. There was never a time frame mentioned, so there is no ground to complain whatsoever. Unless you're being impatient and feel the need to spread the self-reinforced misery as strongly as possible to clutter up forums, of course.
but a constellation simulator, useless GT Vision/adaptive tesselation stuff that takes all the communication momentum...
Imagination.
...unfinished game lacking VERY important features...
Purely to fill up the list and completely lacking substance......now tell me, what 'VERY important feature' that is so important that 'very' needs to be in capital letters?
I am not even going to point all the problems one by one: anyone who is a regular on GTplanet knows what many in the community think of GT6: the series does not progress (enough).
My favourite: this is the definition of what a fallacy is. The only way of convincing is by pure emotion. And because it appears to be that lots of the audience have these kinds of emotions, it must be true. Oh, the logic. This is what politicians are famous for, right?
- Then there's the talk about vision: irrelevant.
- The analogy in which Yamauchi is compared to a movie director whose 'life span' has been reached: a black/white view which is totally inaccurate. Since I can make this analogy fit any random person in the world irrespective of his profession, what point does this even make? This is pure manipulation at its best.
- Mentioning competitors like Forza: if Forza's better, I'll buy Forza. Saying that PD should feel ashamed because you think that game is better....why is that our concern? lol.
But the real party piece is the final question:
So now, who here thinks Kaz should leave to let someone else renew the series with fresh ideas and a real vision?
A typical question to which everyone will 100% say 'yes' irrespectively of current satisfaction. Who doesn't like new things, especially when they are 'fresh'? I certainly do. But because of your 'clever' wording, I'd automatically would be in favor of firing Yamauchi, who supposedly hasn't got a 'real vision'...how unfortunate. Again: manipulation, much?
Now the thread title...telling the CEO should be sacked because you're not satisfied with the game and even angry? Since when are you in the position to decide that? That is just idiotic beyond measure. Do you really think the people who have an influence on that, are going to even take this any seriously at all? Or is it more likely that they are just laughing at this? Especially considering the wonky reasoning behind this statement.
I'm infinitely more respecting the people that are on this forum and point out the weaknesses of the game and stay factual, polite, think along well and generally discuss in a nice manner, rather than this pointless rant. What this is, is just a selfish ego boost in which you are trying to confirm your thoughts by shouting it out as loudly as possible. And while you're doing it, you're only focused on your view and therefore only look at the negatives.
It must be satisfying to read about people who think the same as you and even share some of your misery with them. But beware, if there are others who prove you wrong/have a different opinion/think ahead and have valid points, you start to become personal with preposterous claims like:
God Kaz's defenders never disappoint.
...
Just reading this topic, you can tell who really cares about GT, and who only cares about having the last word. It's so obvious that it hurts.
Just reading this topic, I can see who is only here to be miserable and who is here to properly discuss things while actually listening to others instead of spraying them with personal insults when they have a different opinion.
Quite simply, if you want to make a point, this is _not_ the way to do so, not on the internet and certainly not in real-life, unless you're very, very naïve.
All in all, what an eyesore of a thread, whether or not you are satisfied about the game.
