Weekend Confirmed 116 - E3 2012 post-show wrap-up
by Garnett Lee, Jun 08, 2012 2:00pm PDTE3 2012 is officially in the rear-view mirror, which means it's time for the Weekend Confirmed crew to talk about all types of impressions, news, and more. Garnett is joined by the Jeffs--Cannata and Mattas--and a trio of special guests: David Ellis from 343 Industries, and N'gai Croal and Justin Blankenship from HitDetection. There's far more than can be covered in one show, but the crew still manages to touch on a huge list of titles. Halo 4, Dishonored, SimCity, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Rayman Legends, New Super Mario Bros. U, Watch_Dogs, The Last of Us, Beyond, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Resident Evil 6, and The Cave are just some of the games discussed in this week's info-packed episode.

Frequently, a positive point of a game as stated by you guys will be "It makes you feel like a badass".
You know what? I'm done feeling like a badass. I've had enough of those types of experiences. I want to feel something different. I want to feel weak, or confused, or curious, or proud. So many games have so little going for it except that it "makes you feel like a badass". By now, that's a negative aspect of a game for me.

But the notion that 'feeling like a badass' isn't a positive attribute for a game, when that game's mission is to deliver FUN, is silly.
It's fine to be bored with games that seek to deliver that experience. I'm just explaining why it's brought up as praise for games so frequently, and why it's valid.
