"Whats with Liscences?"

I think that the quality of games recently has been lower than many years ago due to the fact that games companies can do this because of flimsy liscences.

I'm not against the concept of liscences in games, because there have been some good games based on liscences, such as GoldenEye (N64), and Spiderman(PS), but I'm afraid to say that the majority of games are wasted due to liscences. The most notable offender has to be EA, with numerous liscence based sports games, like Rugby, F1, Football, Golf and even Cricket, once a year. Although in previous posts, I have condoned the publishing of mediocre games, if this is to encourage companies to make new and innovative games, although people still buy these games.
Another example hs to be Ronaldo V-Football. The graphics aren't great, and the game itself is too easy. It does have some good features in it, like endurance, where you have to play games one after another, and can only save after every 10th win. Companies must realise one thing: GAMEPLAY IS EVERYTHING. People do not care about the polygon counts in games if the game itself is not up to scartch.

Liscences are killing original gaming, becuase as long as a company has an official name next to it, then there will be mugs willing to buy them.

I think that FIFA was a good game but I like ISS better on the N64, it also has a create a character and give it your own stats and create a team.

YEah but if you buy a game, and it has a good plot, good Gameplay and will last you a while, it can be enjoyed to some extent but it ruins it I think if it has crap graphics!

By the way will that yellow thing happen to everyone who wins GAD from now on?

What?!?!?! You serious??!?!

Well done RBS! You won GAD!

I wish EA Sports would take more time in their titles!! Not that most of them are bad games, its just many of them are nothing more than season updates. If they could come up with new gameplay styles with each title they release I think it would go down a lot better!!
Talking of which they say that FIFA 2002 will be a completly new experience - That I find hard to believe right now!!

Which comments?

Well some of your comments sound computer freakish. Need to try other stuff you know!
