the tale of an acclaimed iPhone game and how it's been hogtied by the actions of an unconscionable douchelord
Only just got round to reading this one. Holy shit.
I'm sure this guy Langdell has always been a total chancer. The Edge's catalogue was full of games that were either mediocre or just plain awful(the screenshots in that article speak for themselves), and clearly most were rushed out to make a quick buck with little regard to quality control. The worst was probably Warlock, a game so lousy it had to be given away free in early Atari ST bundles.
Also I was wondering if Langdell had ever tried to sue Edge Magazine, but it turns out he was recently sued by them, for using their logo without permission. Haha.

"I insert the game card, gently, into the slot of my Aqua Blue system. As I walk over to a red chaise lounge the system slips out of my fumbling hands, falling onto the carpet. I flashback to my first kiss, in my parent’s garage—It gets betterthe more you do it, she told me—and with that in mind, I begin my quest."aaaaaand i stopped reading there

gonna have to live through a lot more shitty games writing before the field matures... sigh
that said, maybe there's some kind of history to this sort of pap that i'm not getting, like cherished jazz reviews or some shit, i don't know
― Nhex, Monday, 5 September 2011 06:01 (fourteen years ago)
i think the history of this particular pap is early p4k writing

the conclusion more belongs in a games o_O thread though, if there is one
― thomp, Tuesday, 13 September 2011 15:28 (fourteen years ago)
haha we talked about that terrible piece in the p4k thread
― Lamp, Tuesday, 13 September 2011 15:29 (fourteen years ago)
there was much o_Oing
well why in the hell were you talking about videogames or indeed anything in a pitchfork thread
― thomp, Tuesday, 13 September 2011 15:32 (fourteen years ago)
i think about 60% of that piece is pretty smart, anyway! it's just the rest of it is very much smdh or o_o or other territory better expressed by internet shorthand than by actual words
― thomp, Tuesday, 13 September 2011 15:34 (fourteen years ago)
also talked abt it upthread
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 13 September 2011 15:36 (fourteen years ago)
yeah i really cant see anything of value in that piece
i got sucked into the p4k thread bcuz they/we were talking about n+1

i'm seriously so fucking sick of every 'serious' (seriously gay lol) games writer who has Important Things To Say About Zelda/Mario. i have more respect for paid IGN shills than these dipshits revisiting the same shiggy suckfest over and over
i dont think there's ever been a games journalist who had anything of value to say about games. 99% of the time actual devs are the only people worth listening to (most of them are morons too obv, but thats still where you find the real shit) - JE Sawyer's formspring is worth a thousand leigh alexanders
