dev comment of the day topic

What's facepalm-able about that?
Hell, I'd consider Shinobi III to have a thousand hours of gameplay since it's so replayable and fun. Besides whatever multiplayer they have, it sounds like that's all he's talking about, the fun-factor of it all.
It's not like he comes off as a conceited prick, either. The rest of the article is him saying how much great stuff is coming out in November.

Why are we always so ready to stomp on a developer's nuts just because they laud their games a little bit?

Couldnt have said it any better.

"thousand hours of gameplay"?

Anybody who pushes something like that as a selling point is a total idiot. Digging a fucking hole with a fucking stick can also be considered a "thousand hours of gameplay" activity if you go with that "logic". He should say "millions". It sounds even better. Why limit yourself, especially if you work for a company that "has no limits on the PS3"?

He didn't.
The writer of the article did.

Let them be extremely popular franchises, sell millions and be praised. History will judge them fairly, as well as those shitheads who actually buy them like cakes.

These cakes are full of shit.

^^There are plenty of those "shitheads" on this forum, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with their preferences.

I don't hate CoD & Halo because they are popular I hate them because they just are not very good and people reward them for such a sub par product. Also I just hate Activision on their attitude towards developers and running everything into the ground. I don't hate Gow tho just Cunty B. I only played the first Gears. Not my thing but didn't hate it. Just did nothing for me

I didn't see anybody on this forum who would blindly follow the shitheads that find games like Gears of War to be a gift from God. All I've seen were people playing it for the lulz.

That was my whole point.

That's just the thing though. They are good. Not amazing, like some people will praise them as, but they're still good games, usually worth a go in singleplayer at least.
You've made it clear before that you're not really into dual-analog-controlled shooters. And there's nothing wrong with that at all. But that doesn't mean that they're "sub par".
It's like me criticizing a Madden game, when I don't even like football.

All you said was that the people that buy these games are shitheads. And yes, there are plenty on here who buy them and enjoy them.

You can't judge a persons character for their tastes good or bad.

Nope. I've said that people who "buy them like cakes" (meaning: who are crazy about them) are shitheads. For example, I won't call people who watched Indiana Jones 4 shitheads, but those who think it's "awesome" and that it lived up to the name are shitheads in my eyes.

But "shitheads" is such an aggressive word. Let's be less judgemental and call them "tunaheads".

Anyone who is a proud Susan Boyle fan is a tunahead
