Let's break this down:
1. I don't have an iPhone or an iPad, nor do I plan on getting one. You may be surprised to learn this, but there are gamers out there who are not part of the cult of Apple.
2. If I did have an iPhone or an iPad, I wouldn't be playing games on it. Why? Because I'd rather play games on a handheld or home console that was actually designed for such, and doesn't specifically cater to 'casual gamers' (oh how I hate what that phrase has come to mean) over people who actually enjoy playing proper games that aren't Angry Birds or Bejeweled.
3. If I did have an iPhone or an iPad and I did play games on it, I still wouldn't play The World Ends With You: Solo Remix because it's freaking $19.99.
Well-played, I suppose, Square Enix. You got me all excited about the possibilities of a sequel or a 3D remake of a cult classic, only to let me down in every single imaginable way. A countdown timer for an iOS remake of a four-year-old game? You got everyone all riled up for something cool, and your big reveal was the furthest thing from cool that i can imagine. But, eh... Maybe there are some Apple fanboys out there who are excited about this. I'M HAPPY FOR YOU JERKS.
Benn,
ReplyDeleteWay to act like a dick towards your readers that are actually Apple hardware users.
Unsubscribed.
I doubt anyone cares :)
DeleteDude, you are awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I love most about Apple fanboys? They're so incredibly sensitive to criticism that they will actually unsubscribe from a blog over the stated opinion that the hardware they covet may not be the pinnacle of technological evolution.
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with people who use Apple products. For the record, I don't use them myself. I have reasons for this, and I think they're good enough reasons for me, but I don't expect anyone else to dislike Apple because I do. And I certainly don't go around getting into arguments about it with Apple adherents for exactly this reason. They're reactionary.
