My problem with Game Informer is that the text is too small. I used to read video game magazines all the time. Surely my eyes haven't gotten THAT bad since then.
Yeah a lot of the games I like don't focus on combat at all, like Animal Crossing. And if there is combat, it's very light and silly. However, there ARE some games that need combat. RPGs need to have battles, as long as they are fun, for instance.
Fighting games also need to have combat, because, you know, they're fighting games. Except I hate it when you have to 'kill' people in fighting games. I don't want to kill Taki and Xianghua and Ivy and Nightmare in Soul Calibur. They're too cool! I wish you could just fight them with squeaky hammers and pillows until they gave up and became friends with you.
I bet a lot of people are glad that I'm NOT designing games!
