Listen, I’m going to get really serious for a moment here. You are all going to buy this game, I don’t want any goddamn excuses like, “I don’t own a Wii” or any of that bullshit, I don’t care, buy it anyway.

People are always complaining that good developers like Clover become defunct because no one bought their awesome fucking games (myself included to be honest.) I’m not letting this happen again. Platinum Games is essentially Clover under a new name, you’re being given a second chance to redeem yourselves by supporting a good developer. If you don’t buy this game you CANNOT complain about games not being good anymore. I don’t even care if MadWorld turns out to be a steaming pile of crap (and it won’t), you’ll still be funding the developers to have more resources for future games, some time get dig their feet in and make a name for themselves.

The only possible downside is that, if and when, Platinum Games gets bigger and starts pumping out awesome at a faster rate than anyone can comprehend they will inevitably get bought out by EA Games. But to be honest, with the current state of the economy and EA having the majority of its assets invested very thinly across the board, I don’t foresee them buying any new companies in the relative future.

Also, take a look at the other games they’re developing right now:

Bayonetta

Directed by Hideki Kamiya, creator of the Devil May Cry series, it will tell the story of the eponymous witch, Bayonetta, who has guns on her feet and hands, blowing off the heads of monsters masquerading as angels. Creator Hideki Kayima has said that ” Bayonetta will blow the doors off the action genre”.

No, violence doesn’t automatically make a game good, but how can you read the premise of this game and not think, “Wow, that sounds pretty freaking awesome.”

To sum it up, if you don’t buy MadWorld, you will have killed gaming. What’s the worst that happens? You spend $50 on a game that might not be everything you thought it would be but still support a small company instead of a tyrant that’s been pumping out the same old garbage year after year after year?
