I think the game's "heart" is in the right place, trying to put the couch back into gaming. I guess the question is, are the games any good? We won't know until we get our hands on the thing.
If they have that old-school one-more-time quality, the Amico could be a hit. If the games come off as second-rate knock-offs, it won't go over well.
Critic, I love what you do and have a ton of respect for you, but we have all given legitimate reasons why we're being so critical not only in this thread, but other threads like the "10 Commandments" thread in General. It's ok to be a fan, but at this point, y'all are just being willfully ignorant. We've explained many times, and yet the Amico cult just can't except why we feel this way. I mean, Robotrek got dogpiled simply for sticking up for himself. If you actually read the posts in this thread, Robotrek never attacked Tommy, or anyone involved with this, or anyone excited for it. He simply criticized the product itself. And unless you're a corporate bootlicker, there's nothing wrong with that. It was ASalvaro who got all defensive about simple criticism, which in turn caused Robo to lash out. And I have to say, I totally agree with Robo about ASalvaro being a Tommy sock account, especially considering this is something Tommy has been accused of on multiple different platforms besides this one, as well as the similar posting style.
In all honesty, this cult of personality around Tommy and his console genuinely creeps me out. And if you look at my early posts in this thread, you'll see that I was actually quite excited for this console in the early days. So you can't even say that I'm just biased and hating just to hate. Rather, this is an example of a dev completely destroying my goodwill and trust over a long period of time.
But rather than drag this post out, I think I'm gonna start a new thread about why we're so critical and every problem I have with Amico. It'll be an incredibly long and wordy thread for sure, but I really need to get this off my chest, because the blatant simping and bootlicking over this not even released yet console is insane.
your triggered over a game console you haven't even played..or don't even want..lol don't you see anything strange about that?
If you go back to the first ten pages of this thread, Logan showed genuine interest in the console. But he's been burned by the horrible PR. He's not a biased hater. He's just a lost customer.
I love retro gaming. I want gaming to get back to it's roots. I'm literally the target demographic. But there's simply no trust between me and INTV. Rather than write me off, Tommy should be trying to put my concerns to rest and pull me in. But that's not what you....ermh.....I mean HE is doing. That's just not good marketing. Rather than write people off as haters, he SHOULD be building a large install base. But he's not remotely interested in that.
