ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 8, 2009 Any particular reason or just in general? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zomboid Posted June 8, 2009 In general. And also: 1) His games. More specifically—his generic, 12-year old boy aesthetic sensibilities. 2) His hard-rock, "bad boy" persona. 3) The feeble shit talking he does that seems to blow so many minds wide open.

ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 8, 2009 Ninja Gaiden Black was awesome I know what you mean about his "12 year old boy" sensibilities, but he's not as bad as the guys who put together, say, Rumble Roses XX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shakesbeard Posted June 8, 2009 Seems like a cool dude. He was a programmer on Tecmo Bowl back in the day and also designed the new Ninja Gaiden games which helped define the third person "hyper-action" genre. What have you done lately? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shakesbeard Posted June 8, 2009 Well, they're all dead. But, other than that I'm doing fantastic!!! Oh yeah, that's right! I told you to avoid gettin' mixed up with the little buggers, it's simple economics! Let me give you a friend of mine's number, he'll straighten you out with a free Chrysler.

zomboid Posted June 8, 2009 That was fun! Anyhoo... My weird compulsion to post a thread on an internet message board about a man I have never met, was because of some E3 smack-talk he did. Thing is, I feel no real reason to defend Bayonetta (I'll probably rent it) other than thinking it has about a kajillion times more style than anything this guy has ever touched. I get that the hardcorz love Ninja Gaiden for it's punishing difficulty, which I admit is not my bag - but I just think this guy's stuff is so ugly and generic looking. And also, dude looks like a lady. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

80's Bad Guy Posted June 9, 2009 Some days I think he's a tool and represents everything wrong with 'star developers' and some days I think he's exactly the kind of tool the industry needs. Either way I agree, he's an arrogant tool. Let's see what he does next first though, which will be very interesting to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
