Judging by the initial scores, it seems that Advent Rising, the sci-fi action game with a script coined by the legendary Orson Scott Card, didn't quite live up to the hype (well, IGN seems to like it a lot, but I never trust them). Its the usual case in the industry; a lot of big ideas that suffer thanks to huge technical flaws, most of which could have been ironed out with a few more months of testing. I just hate to see promise like this go to waste because developers (and to a greater extent, the publishers) want profits now. I don't care what people say to badmouth Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto is right:
A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever
I've heard various stories of his involvment, but at the very least I know he co-wrote the script. Which is ironic, since some reviewers pointed out that some of the lines were really cheesy.
ReplyDeleteI think its gonna be one of those games I'll pick up for cheap on the PC in a couple of months. Its not worth full price, but too intriguing to pass up.
I don't think Miyamoto san would be a could political leader man. And please stop calling him shiggy... the man deserves respect
