I recently rented the Korg DS-10 from GameFly, which I didn’t mention much on the show, well, because it really isn’t a game. but I was awfully surprised by the suggested games on the email confirming my return:
Not only was there an option to rate the DS-10 (which I’m supposed to rate as, what, a synth?) but a suggested list of games. Which reads to me more like “a list of random shit”. And what could have been a neat way to find new games you might like looks awfully trite.
I hadn’t noticed it before but those shitty suggestions were always there. Rhythm Heaven I get, but Yu-Gi-Oh!? On what basis would someone who likes the Korg DS-10, a complex piece of software that is the equivalent of a fully fleshed out synthesizer from the 80s/90s, like a childish property like Yu-Gi-Oh?
Two Yu-Gi games to boot, apparently someone really likes trance music and card games.
