Title: Where is the new blog of N'gai Croal?
Post by: Smooth Groove on March 21, 2009, 05:42:33 PM: I want to call him out on his SDF bullshit.

When Halo 3 was released in September 2007, N'gai talked a lot of smack about how more than 500,000 360s being sold in that same month wasn't very impressive. According to him, that was the 360's "come to Jesus moment", and MS should have done better.

Yet, this week in 1up's podcast, he defended Sony's continuing underperformance with the usual SDF nonsense, "Killzone 2 only came out for 2 days, SF4 did well on the PS3 considering the differences in userbases, the PS3 actually did well last month by selling close to 300,000 units", etc.

It is sickening how N'gai continues to push Sony agendas while acting like he's above corporation idoloatry. In addition, his pseudo-intellectual discussions about videogames make me want to throw a book about real academic subjects in his face.

The only reason he raised a stink about RE5 was because it wasn't PS3 exclusive. If it were, he would've praised it for depicting Africa in a videogame.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on March 21, 2009, 06:17:17 PM: People only hate him because he's a smart black man who shares their hobby.

Intimidating isn't it

Title: Re: Where is the new blog of N'gai Croal?
Post by: Rman on March 21, 2009, 06:32:30 PM: I don't really think he's that hated, though. And those who do are put off more by his approach --comparing games to movies, over analyzing games and the games industry, etc, than anything else.

I personally like his style because its is so different.

Post by: brawndolicious on March 21, 2009, 07:48:02 PM: I always hated his writing style. It's like he got paid by how many buzzwords he used. I don't care at all if somebody is biased with videogames/movies/whatever as long as they admit it.
