This is specifically to address how hypocrisy has stifled the entertainment industry. I want to focus on particularly the handheld gaming market. I own a PS Vita. I originally didn't subscribe to the system, because I thought it was a rash release, and I appreciated what was an exploding PSP library and system at the time. However, Sony specifically tailored the system to complaints that the fans levied against them concerning the PSP. Fans cried that while the psp was beautiful, it had a screen that was too small, and lacked a second analog, making it useless to them.
I saw designs from Sony leaked early on that depicted a PSP Go-type model with a second analog nub. It looked very sheik and cool. But one thing that I kept discussing with people before the Vita even launched, was the fact that amazing gaming has existed both handheld and on home consoles, long before Sony released the dual shock expansion for their Playstation system. My question to them was why we were acting brand new, and like the PSP was not an amazing console from top to bottom. Yet, on the other hand, when I looked at the rhetoric for Nintendo's handheld joke that was the DS, it was like being in another universe. Still to this day, you will find people who loathe Sony's handhelds and praise Nintendo's as having better games, graphics, and controls. In fact, from the first Nintendo handheld, I have seen praise lobbed at them for being technically great. You have to be retarded not to be aware that the PS Vita is light-years more powerful than the 3DS. They are held to different standards. I own both, and while the 3DS churns out kiddie gimmick after kiddie gimmick, Sony pushes their library with variety and depth, and gets vilified for it.
This is what has killed the industry. And this trickles over to everything. In today's society, good is rarely seen as that, and whatever is loudest and most mundane, wins. Because of this, a lot of great projects, have been scrapped. Particularly a mech suit game that I was very interested in, was cancelled due to both lack of support, and Sony shutting down the project by force.
Also, a lot of the games coming out reflect how androgynous society is becoming. I've never seen more gender meshing games than there are today. Of course, it's sacrilege to speak against that, but whatever. Anyway, they also wanted a bigger screen right. Well now, all you hear are reviews that bash the Vita for it's undersized screen, and lack of dual-screens like the DS. When I read these reviews, it really feels like they are being controlled and filtered by a pro-Nintendo entity. How big do you want your handheld to be. Would you walk around with a brick the size of the Wii U? Also, every time something is ported to the Vita from console or vice-versa, you hear about the so-called limitations hindering how high they would like to rank the game. Last time I checked, the Vita was a gem of a handheld capable of reproducing and exceeding PS3 games, and rendering and cross-playing PS4 games. When did that become not good enough as far as power? And if that's the case, how is it the all you hear about the 3DS is how amazing the games look and are?
The other day, one Youtuber I follow was raving about Dragon's Quest for the 3DS, and how amazing it looks. You never hear negative talk, or even mentions of limitations with 3DS titles, yet it is laughable to hold one of their games next to a Vita title, if you have 2 eyes and 2 brain cells. My issue is that there is a separate standard for trash these days. Being better far from guarantees success now, due to backwards and retarded logic being so prevalent.
In the movie industry, eclectic ideas are frowned upon and feared, so those films either won't see the light of day, or will tank. People want simple and mindless films. One of the best recent movies I've watched, is Miles Ahead- an independent film by and starring Don Cheadle, who I have immense respect for. If you even read the interviews, you will be amazed that the film even left the ground, with all of the opposition and discouragement that he faced getting it funded and supported. There are also stigmas he had to contend with, being that he needed a white co-star in order to push it at all.
The movie- Miles Ahead, is artistic, crafty, deep, and beautiful. None of that appeals to society today. The reason The Revenant won the Academy Award is because it played to the crowd. No matter how dumb people get, they will always understand basic emotion. That film deserved an award based on the job he did doing the simple nothings like breathing and looking. He did it brilliantly, and the videography was transcendent, so they brought it all together. But as far as script writing, ,there was none. Plot didn't really exist. It was how the story was told. But I would give more credit to a film like Miles Ahead, which blends those techniques with deep dialogue and personality. Yet, Miles Ahead was one step away from being straight to DVD.
Whether game or movie, or music, the releases today are trash. And the few indie gems we get are bashed by the insane. Getting back to the Vita, I have never heard more complaints about controls for games than I'm hearing now. This makes me scratch my head, because Sony specifically tailored the Vita to the complaints of the fans. These people cried that if only the PSP had just a second analog it would be perfect. So Sony added a second analog stick for the Call of Duty psychopaths,and threw in a front and rear touch screen. Somehow, that has translated to less, and you have to read these reviews for yourself to see how stupid they sound. You can't please people that are self-destructively retarded, but in the name of money, the industry tries, to its own detriment.
