Console gaming has never been better, says Globe & Mail games reporter Chad Sapieha, before listing three of his pet peeves for each of the major consoles. Among them: That the Wii is still considered cheap, despite all of the extra hardware many users buy (remotes, nunchuks, memory cards); the PlayStation 3's annoying system updates, which are hands-on and lengthy; and the cost of Micorosoft's Xbox Live service, which he thinks should be dialed down now that MS has such a large subscriber base.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
"Console gaming has never been better, says Globe & Mail"
Apparently they missed the SNES and Genesis generation.
Not saying this generation isn't awesome - it is - but I still think the SNES/Gensis generation was the best. Tons of innovation, lots of new ideas floating around, and a newfound interest in gaming in our society - all of which combined to create amazing games.
is being nickel and dime to death.
i think the biggest thing i hate is how bad "fanboyism" has gotten, this is the worst generation ever for it, its seriously gotten to where people are over analyzing games looking for the smallest difference just to call a version better, just enjoy the games, thats their purpose in life.
well if u want better gaming u have to update my friend .....why do u wine so much if u want a perfect gaming system make it urself
Helpful tip. You are supposed to edit out "I" and "we" from the title and summary.
