Re: Feature: You Know What? The GamesMaster Reboot Is An Unexpected Delight

Obviously I have read the article and the comments and would like to say that that I also didn't like the 'narrow minded' reference in the article either. But then I am not surprised as recently there has been other occasions of reporting things of that nature in a way to cause division.
But overall I don't come here, or watch the Games master tv programe for any other reason that gaming and cannot help to thing that things are done for effect and not because of any good.

@Clammy Haven't you read the comments, by the sounds of it the programe has gone full circle.

Re: Channel 4's GamesMaster Reboot Has Found Its Presenter

The host certainly sounds like a good match for the show, although his comedy value would better suited to making jokes about the original series because that certainly left itself open to be taken the mikey out of.

And I agree with the comments about celebrities, bore off and stick some people who are actually good at games please. Especially with C4's take on what a celebrity is.

Well he might be good at something but it ain't marketing, because if he thinks I am going to read all those excuses. I could see the holes in what he was saying without getting even half way down, and by that point I'd given up on the whole thing anyway.

Companies should take note of this, if you make something good then people will buy it. Only major marketing money will sell crap.

I was old enough to look at this thing for what it was and never ever used one, actually sorry I did use a free disc 'I got on a magazine so I could play my american copy of animal crossing on my uk gamecube.

This thing was the scurge of the industry for years and the one of the biggest reasons I never trust a pokemon without my trainer name. It always amazes me how much people like this type of thing when it is such a problem for the industry overall.

@Damo This may play games from those consoles but is not made or endorsed by nintendo. But anyway there is clearly enough interest with you and many others so there you go.

Like yourself I also am old and love the oldskool games, I personally seem happy to remember my enjoyment of playing those games rather than having a desire to want to replay them all. And I wouldn't want those nice boxes and manuals getting damaged anyway! I have also always been a nintendo gamer, well apart from a ps2, as in the past I have never liked PC gaming, I found it to come with many hackers, cheaters, modders etc. and this led to many early online experiences being ruined due to cheating. I also like my games to be exactly as the game maker intended it to be, therefore fan games really do not interest me in the slightest and often come with someone trying to make money off it! Consoles are also the only place I feel that there is a level playing field, I could see myself making excuses for losing games because the other player had a better pc than me and I don't need anymore excuses for losing!

Therefore it has only led me to have a negative attitude towards this, but after reading many articles here I have since mellowed in that as I can clearly see that people enjoy modding games for far different reasons than I had thought. I still don't particularly like it for the new consoles as I still feel that although some people use this in order for them to enjoy it for themselves it does fuel what the hackers do and that means that companies have to spend time deflecting what they do rather than making more games.

But please carry on with the articles as much as you so please, I will read many of them I'm sure. Just one question I have thought whilst readying the articles, it seems there is a major importance for people that games run exactly as the original. Is it just the fact we have newer tv's that causes such a problem for people using the actual consoles instead of buying these machines?

@Heavyarms55
I actually just don't care what other people think about my likes and dislikes nowadays. But I do remember being 26 when Pokémon released and a little more conscious of other people's opinions, I missed out on trading for the first couple of games as I daren't approach young children!!! Eventually as my nephew got old enough I convinced him to play so I could trade etc. But in the end I ended up playing the game for him so I could steal all the things I wanted.
