It just proves that developers are ass because they can get away with a shitty looking game.
I'm not expecting any solid games from anyone except the biggest names in 3rd parties like capcom.

W^4 usually makes that thread.

Speaking of people with de facto roles to play, where's Abyssal Nuclei with the scores?

No shit. I was way off, but it seems like everyone else was too

1. Are you Over 18?
2. If so why are you playing games marketed at younger gamers (this is not an attack, merely an inquiry)

1. Yes.

2. I play games that are well-made and fun. What age group they're marketed at doesn't even register.

My two answers are the same as above.
I'm 29, and play anything that apeels to me no matter who the primary market is. The idea of gaming in general is a market that is targeted at a younger audience no matter how you cut it.

There's a hude difference between being aimed at kids (Happy Feet for example) and being aimed at everyone (Super Mario). And Zelda wasn't targetted at kids per say, see Twilight Princess being rated T.

I'll be 28 in a month, I play games that entertain me, and that includes playing Mario, Zelda and Animal Crossing

Only kids and teens are self conscious of what they should and shouldn't play, and considering it's them who are the quickest at calling something kiddy, you really got to wonder how mature they think they really are.
