@Neolit "For the Players" except players of MOBAS

I don't appreciate MOBAS either. I live with a guy who streams DotA to the TV and tells me PC is the only form of life. Granted I have absolutely no idea whats going on on the screen and being colour blind probably doesn't help, or so he says. He also says I'm far too simple to understand real gameplay in a video game. I play a lot of Galaga on my PS4 is probably the basis for that. Or Sonic, or Mega Man, or something I like, god knows.

Ive got a feeling the gaming community as a whole is a bit fractured. Certain genres should stay to certain platforms seems to be the mindset. I mean I got into online multiplayer because of Splatoon of all things, on a dead console I barely use. Does that mean it has no right to exist on the system? Probably, but it shows it can work. Battleborn might not be a good game, from what I've seen it's an average but solid attempt at something the developers aren't familiar with, and I find that commendable.

I think a system with the install base and notoriety of the PlayStation 4/4.5/VR needs as many genres as humanly possible. All want those numbers to go up right? And hey, who knows, even if the game isn't good, it shows there is an appetite for it on dedicated gaming consoles, no matter how small, and that there is room for improvement.

I had no interest in episodic games or the "walking simulators" but seeing how they have blown up on consoles and how everyone likes them, it goes to show that when done right it does indeed have a place.

If I had to make this relevant to the viewpoint shown across the wider internet and the current console generation (Comprised of Xbox One and PS4) I would say "At least its a bad game that's new, as opposed to a remaster of a bad game". A fresh turd is better than a polished turd? I don't even know.
