Early Askcess: The Apple of Gaming

In a bit of a rush to post these before bed. I wrote a handful of them a couple days ago but didn't realized I queued so many, so I didn't write the post then.

cypher-ds asked: The two Sonic Adventure games and Sonic Heroes are such polar opposites in every aspect. The tone, the storytelling, the gameplay mechanics. Not even the chao garden mini-game was carried over. Was SA2 such a commercial or critical failure that Sega decided, instead of making Sonic Adventure 3, to throw out everything to start from scratch?

Anonymous asked: Why is it that you considered nintendo trying to be the apple of gaming? I feel like, especially if taking sony into account, it's rather opposite of it in most of the case. Like a horizontal opposite of a horse shoe. Granted, as far as I know, the simliarity between nintendo and apple is extreme protectiveness over their IP and loathes the modification of their product. As a platform, based on recent development, they cant be more different. Nintendo product thrive on being weak but affordable console to most, and has since loosen control on third party content, while Playstation and apple thrive on being luxury powerful high end product on the market , and their policy for third party cobtent seem to have gotten more strict recently. I heard that sony forced Japanese developer make their game closer to western sensibility, even the one meant to be published in japan.

Nintendo thrive on being what people might wants, while apple thrive on being best in the market

That said, my knowledge on this is pretty limited and could be wrong, so I would like to know your perspective on this and feel free to correct me if I am wrong about anything.

Generally speaking I only post links because sometimes in the run-up to these getting posted, I might add or change things about the posts. Ergo, visiting the link is the only way to make sure what you're reading is the most up-to-date version of the post without me having to constantly also edit things here on Patreon. Once a post goes live, the link stops working. Publishing dates are also subject to change if I move things around.

You can submit an ask here, though tumblr is picky about it now and forces you to have a login.
