You entered this topic complaining because David Cage games that "do things different" get over-criticized whereas the usual AAA yearly-release tripe gets a pass. Now you're tying Japanese games that get passes despite their failings.

Actually my point was people criticize AAA games all the time for rehashing a concept that works and barely changing, and not having the balls to try something new. Then games like this come out and all people can do is criticize QD games for being a complete departure from a traditional game.

Further establishing my point that gamers are such hyperbolic, hypocritical goofuses. Criticizing QD game for all the same trappings that a Japanese developer gets away with. You simply don't see the hate for Japanese style games, I honestly never have. Nothing close to what QD games get. People just accept that style of game isn't for them and they move on. They don't carry the hate bandwagon that David Cage does.Look at this topic. Look at yourself.

He has the same tired problems he's had for four games, and with DBH, he's introduced new ones.

First. This, saying he's not doing anything different because he's still making games in his style. So with the vast amount of titles available today, you're really going to sit there and tell me a QD isn't a vast departure from most modern titles? Nonsense. Dude makes one game in his style a Gen. 4 games in 10 years. People who like this style of game have an extreeemely limited pool to choose from. You can't seriously think that an even bigger disparity in the variety of titles in an already niche genre could possibly be a good thing.

Second. This is his and his teams style. They get to make the game they want to make. They don't have to make your game. They don't have to make Telltales style of game. They have had success with their style and they are clearly not stopping anytime soon. Especially considering they're only getting better at it. Some mild internet whining isn't changing the fact the games sell and review fairly well.

You can sit there and criticize them all day. That's fine. It is actually working. I mean, you're reading off the same outdated script that David Cage can't write good games, can't make proper characters, can't go without shoehorning in some nudity, etc.

When Detroit fixes almost all the problems that people had with previous QD games, or makes a genuine attempt to at the very least. Most people would agree it's their best entry yet. And if you're sitting there thinking to yourself "The best turd is still a turd" then this turd ain't for you. That's fine, move on, you're not owed anything here.

he's so stuck up his own ass about being the auteur he thinks he is.

You're looking to one of the few examples of studios who release this genre of game for a very specific style of developer? Or you could just look elsewhere. Why does Kojima need to slap his name and face on everything he does? When was the last time he's shown he can make a cohesive narrative experience? Hasn't stopped people from falling out of their chairs in excitement for Death Stranding. And good for them, it's completely unique and if you like Kojima's style and are excited to see what he can do without the shackles of Konami by all means.

At the end of the fucking day, who cares. You're not buying David Cage, or Hideo Kojima, You're buying their products. If you hate their style, or personality so much you can't get over whose name is on the box (or in HK's case, every 5 minutes in MGSV) then hope and pray someone makes the right game for you.
