i think “2hours of gameplay” reviews makes people careful.
also bad marketing, I heard from this game nothing until I joined back into this place. Same goes with rez, without panzer dragoon I would know nothing about it and never have seen anything from that game, and actually I know a lot of nerds and gamers…
At first I also thought I NEED to have something like kinect and a 3d screen.
…somehow bad marketing keeps cursing the steps of ex sega games… o-o
people buy the weirdest stuff if hyped enough in the right ways.
I mean, stalker , anyone ? Spore, or even worse, fable…
they pumped out a lot of “promises”, or ratjer, fantasies in the heads of readers , and the hype was pretty much set.
Going to buy that edenthingy asap its on the ps3 here 
also it lacks booty girls. usually the last frontier when you dont add armystuff and gangsters. 
Oh and yeah, too artsy is a point. Hundreds of years of advertisment in culture wont change the fact most people never read faust or miltons lost paradise, but it will be around for a long long time.
Maybe that is why they called it child of eden ? Last call to conformity ? 
You have to dig deep for jewels, and its easy to forget the obvious gems around you, I try to be just happy art like that even EXISTS.
We could just as well live in a world/country filled with bans on any non canon art…
Beside that, its all up to us to change that.
Do you want to make commercial games that sell artistic peaks aside usual tastes ? I think that is pretty much possible.
I am not sure if I really cry if draco doesnt come up, so far what I have seen it looks trying to be cute (?) and lost in its value and initial charm… ?
Some fans ranted on Orta already, which I love.
Not sure if the programmers felt supported by their own fanbase.
Same goes with panzer dragoon azel, even if it would have been released on a more popular platform, I bet most players would have been not hooked enough at first hour of gameplay. intros have been amazing, but gameplay unfolds much later on and even there much could have been better . (whats with all the unnecessary spells…) - no matter how much i love it…
At the end I think it would be clever , from terms of gamedesign to make the first hour more flashy and hooking up a larger fanbase and let the artistic side flourish later on.
I mean , you can also go other routes, lets take an extreme example, dragon ball xD the first episodes laked the flashin part, but hooked up by bringing up a relation and an obvious development .
uh long post over. :anjou_embarassed:
