How The Internet is Breaking Modern Gaming

Jen Alaggia writes: The Internet: A massively linked world where everything you ever wanted to know is right at your fingertips and everyone you wanted to know is a Facebook friend request away. We vehemently defend our freedoms online and it is absolutely a tool that has ingrained itself in every aspect of modern culture. In regards to video games, though, is it more of a curse than a blessing?

Ugh, more on the entitlement thing...

The thing that bothers me the most about it is that people use it in all the wrong ways. For the most part, after fully gauging and reading over the Mass Effect thing I understand the "whiners" point of view a bit better. They bought the game (each game in the series) experiencing a universe that reacted and responded to decisions the player's made. The entire thing was to be a build-up based on player-made decisions and the end was supposed to reflect the culimination of those decisions that happened across three games. However, that's not how the game ended.

The Capcom DLC thing was certainly not a case of entitlement...when gamers buy games they want the complete product. Even if people didn't get privy to the on-disc DLC there were still missing features, such as the Gems and the color mechanic which is basically useless given that it only has two colors. Entitlement? No, it's called consumer satisfaction.

Music and movie enthusiasts would never tolerate the kind of raping gamers have let themselves endure. It shows that gamers have yet to mature enough to fight for their rights as consumers.

I guess people don't want gamers too complain. They either want everyone to agree that a game or content is good or don't say anything at all.

Those that are calling people that are expressing their feelings about the mass effect ending "entitled" are the ones that actually liked the ending and are tired of hearing opinions that don't concur with their own.

I read the article and i thought it was boring and full of filler sentences with no valid points.

BuffMordecai5170d ago

You are seeing so much complaining because of the greed and dirty tactics of publishers.

PinkPartyPony5170d ago

If you spend your money on a product shouldn't you have every right to express you dissatisfaction with that product if you were displeased with it?

I mean, Bioware could have said no, and in any regard this is a win win the dissatisfied get what they want, and those who enjoyed the ending don't have to play the new one.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5827d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905827d ago (Edited 5827d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5827d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5827d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495827d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5827d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5827d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
