I admit that the title does make it sound like it's solely his work. But seriously, you have to ease up a little.
No.
But entertain me for a second and pretend everyone else was like you. We couldn't say Sakurai made Brawl anymore. Oh no, that's blasphemy. He only assisted. And when Kobe Bryant scored 80 points in one game? No, he didn't annihalate the other team. He only HELPED annihalate them. He only assisted them.
Sakurai did assist. It was a joint work with other people. He just happened to lead it and be IN CHARGE of most of it. It took the collective work of everyone, hence why I crapped a brick over your really terrible title that you've yet to edit.
Kobe Bryant needed team work to give him the **** ball in the first place. Amusingly enough, it's his ball-hog mentality that makes him a pain in the *** to play with. Put Kobe against a full team on his own and see what happens.
Is there something bothering you deep inside that makes you nitpick at every little thing?
Yes. People with unrealistic expectations that set themselves up to be disappointed when the ability to simply enjoy the game is right there.
Apart from avoiding my simple question (only because you know that I will stand correct once you do), you forget that almost everyone working on this project is an outsider. Not necessarily an outside to Nintendo, but it IS a mosaic of different backgrounds, as Sakurai pointed out in volume 1 or 2 of "Iwata Asks". Are you saying the because he is not from Nintendo, his role is completely insignificant?
Cut the smugness, please. It's extremely condescending and obnoxious.
I didn't avoid the question, you didn't look into the answer. If it's the question I think it is, I'll attempt to answer a bit more clearly. No, I do not think someone with "more experience" will necessarily do all/most of the product or necessarily hold more ground. If that wasn't the question I might've missed, restate it and I'll address it.
No one said his role was insignficant because he's not from Nintendo. Where the hell did you get that from? By that logic, I'd think Kojima shouldn't have been allowed to design what looks like the coolest of all the stages in the game thus far. I'm all for bringing non-Nintendo people into the project. It eliminates some of the cut and dry elements of their games.
"Mosaic of different backgrounds" is public relation spin talk. If someone's interviewed about a turd of a game (before it's revealed to be a turd), the number one thing when asked about the development team that they like to add is "WE HAVE A VARIETY OF TALENTS" and yadda-yadda-yadda. It's something to give everyone props and it's typically inserted to make the project seem like it holds more creative ground.
To nip any words you might shove in my mouth, no, I do not in any way think Brawl will be a "turd" of a game. It's an anecdotal example. I think I'm going to love Brawl.
Listen, when you get assigned to Story Creation, I'm pretty sure that you do the majority of the script writing. I never said he had power over Sakurai; of course, Sakurai ultimately has the creative control over him. But tell me KaiserX, do you
honestly(and I mean honestly) think that Sakurai wrote more of the script than Nojima did? Or are you going to avoid this question too, just like the last one?
Please, once again, stop being smug. It makes you look like an ***. You are not Phoenix Wright or Yagami Light. And I'm not avoiding your question.
That's just my point, though: there's not going to be much of a story here. It's a side-scroller beat-em-up platformer hybrid based around pure fanservice of "OH MY GOD, I AM PLAYING AS ____ AND ____...TOGETHER." It's not a question of who did more, it's that he didn't do it purely alone, making the title completely misleading, and the story isn't going to be anything big, so it's completely irrelevant WHO did it.
"Hey guys, Bowser stole DK's bananas! CLEARLY THIS HAS A REAL LIFE PARALLEL WITH THE RECENT EVENTS OF (controversial topic here)."
The point is, mostly anyone can write it. People need to stop overhyping this stuff.
Did I ever say I was hyped up, genius? Here's what I said in my first post:
"Interesting, huh?"
I'm sorry if in your world, that looks more like "OMFG! YES! I'M GOING TO DIE HAPPY!"
An exclamation mark in your title seems to indicate something.
I was only pointing out that it was interesting that Sakurai specifically sought out Nojima for the story.
You seem pretty excited.
In the event you weren't, my bad, but I'm just as easily addressing anyone that's overhyping this. You're not really special.
Just don't overhype. That's all I ask of anyone.
