Sorry for the late response! Anyway, to ...Hey Jay!<br /><br />Sorry for the late response! Anyway, to answer your comments...<br /><br />I've pretty much spent my entire criticism career on checking out niche games and small games that other people don't give the time of day to. This is nothing new for me at all, and if you look back in my history, you'll see that I'm not the kind of gamer who only plays the AAA titles.<br /><br />That said, I did review Guacamelee, and we've discussed Beyond and Rayman on the podcast a couple of times. <br /><br />As far as reviewing or posting for myself, of course I am! I do it because I love it and because I think I have something to share with others. I guess the audience I'm shooting for are people who are interested in different kinds of experiences, or who are open to games other than the big, mainstream blockbusters. <br /><br />That's pretty much what I've always covered, and that's where I'm coming from. I write about whatever catches my attention and keeps my interest, and I'm definitely not chasing after page views or a bigger audience. If people want to read what I say that's great, if not, that's fine too.<br /><br />Maybe you just like different kinds of games than I do? <br />That's totally fine, and it takes all kinds… I still cover the same stuff I've always covered, and I plan to keep on doing that.<br /><br />Hopefully you'll find it interesting, but if not, that's okay. We can still be friends. :-)<br />Brad Gallawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452185302281177580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625171860671748699.post-65468127276211351032013-12-16T14:59:30.189-08:002013-12-16T14:59:30.189-08:00Hey Brad,
always appreciate your posts and (podca...Hey Brad,<br /><br />always appreciate your posts and (podcast) contributions, though I feel that you are more and more serving a niche public lately. WiiU (who above 12 years old and not a hardcore gamer owns one of those?!) and now IOS games, again? <br /><br />Why not give your (Brad Gallaway!) take/reviews on PS3 games, like BEYOND: TWO SOULS, RAYMAN: LEGENDS<br />BROTHERS, GUACAMELEE! or even GTA5? Your public will grow and I would say those are much more "relevant" or "real world" games, serving a much wider audience. I mean you are not reviewing or posting for solely yourself right?<br /><br />Now again, I do very much appreciate your opinions, and that is exactly why I rather see you covering titles that are not so far out, but more real world. I mean, I don't own a WiiU, and I would say an average gamer (or your target gamer) doesn't neither. I know I don't. And I am your public, no? Also, I prefer playing interesting titles on the big screen, not on my (Android) smartphone. <br /><br />Or write something about PS4, how you like that machine, PS+ and some games for that platform. I do NOT wanna tell you how to do your job, but lately you are going more and more into a very dark and lonely dungeon of the gaming world, at least for me. Stay relevant and come back to the PS3/PS4 world. <br /><br />I also feel the same about the podcasts actually, now that I think about it. Video game music, lot's of Pokemon, a sex show, a listener created show, GC at the movies, I mean where's the focus? Why not Bioshock: Infinite, GTA5? <br />The podcasts are becomming a bit o a mess. No offense. Perhaps you guys should think of letting Richard doing the "normal" podcasts, and Sinan doing the more explorative podcasts. <br /><br />I feel that since Tim left, somehow you guys lost some focus. Dylan did a great job, but the 2 hosts thing, I dunno. I guess I would rather see Richard becoming the new host. He is smart, neutral, doesn't make (not so-) funny remarks all the time, and is just a great and focussed talker. I guess my main point is, go back to basic. I would assume that the main public is appreciative, and so am I. But lately I am more appreciative of you guys' intentions than the actual show. Same goes for your blog. <br /><br />Or is there something I don't understand? Happy holidays Brad and (yes, still) looking forward to the big End-of-Year-Show on Gamecritics. Hope you guys talk games, a lot. <br /><br />Jay from the Netherlands. (we're still here!!!;-)Jeroennoreply@blogger.com
