Yes, since then they might have actually played the game. This article is about useless, half of it is just him saying he doesn't like the genre. Then he ensures the reader knows that he not only didn't play a game in the genre in a decade, but also lets you know that he didn't play the game and didn't want to be at the event. How does this benefit anybody?It would be nice if people would write previews with more skepticism then just saying 'Yay, new game, will be awesome' but not even trying the game? At least try it and say if it is the same to you or maybe changed your mind on the genre.Nice thing about sending a fan of the previous games would be to maybe talk about the feel of the new instruments compared to the old instruments, the whether vocal recognition is better, if the new expressive elements actually add to the game, etc. This guy just informed us why he doesn't like something and regurgitate what he has heard on the game.
