There's something so empty about this. It's a game that essentially is a giant satire on a money centric society and now, as a further irony, you literally "buy money" in the game with your own money, as a jab on the meaninglessness of money. It's like satire but not, because the game is still money-centric no matter how much it parodies that. You pay money to enact the irony of it, but the very thing you're ironizing you're buying into. You're still ultimate...
I'm pretty sure the good machines are going to be exorbitantly priced. Remember the Xi3 Piston? I think that's one of these Steam Machines and it was like a grand for the good one. I suppose the open nature of the things might be a reason the price'll be more than the consoles but ack...
I also hope Half Life 3 isn't an exclusive to Steam OS platforms or something.
Looks like it'll probably be a cheapo bargain bin cash-in if you ask me. It'll definitely be a super simplified version of that unity thing.
I mean it's not such a hard game to make at the end of the day. Cutscenes = portraits of people screaming at each other and crying, gameplay = simplified unity thing with ultraviolence and cringey j-rock soundtrack. Anime renaissance my ass.
I'm pretty sure the next announcement is the hardware- probably the SteamBox. I know this is a pretty common prediction, but I realised something looking at that countdown page. The first symbol, representing the Steam OS, is that circle with the two small gaps at the top and bottom. The second symbol, is that SAME circle, but ENCLOSED with brackets. That to me suggests some sort of enclosure or piece of hardware which could pioneer use of the OS. Steambox anyone?
As for ...
Announcement 1: Steam OS
Announcement 2: Steam Box
Announcement 3 (The Big Finale): Half Life 3... Cancelled. Ricochet 2 development full steam ahead. Leading Steam Box launch title.
This'll be the best OS ever.
They're extremely similar. The shadows of the trees pop in at like the exact same time in the driving around one.
This open world kind of reminds of the one in Mercenaries.
It's no Just Cause 2... 1000+ players...
I'd allow you critique the game if it wasn't for silly entitled reasons. Abriael is right. Your loss really if you can't get past your own spoiled-ness.
Have an open-mind for godsakes. If you're going to critique the game, critique on grounds of cultural badness. Right now, I'm a little bit worried this game is super-sympathetic to the privileged members of society in its representation of Noctis and his monarchy. We'll see though.
"3".... announcements??
Could it be...?
This is all well and good, but why do we WANT to simulate these things? It's a question that no one ever answers. Why is the "wrongness" so "delicious" in this articles words? I personally don't think it's delicious at all, I think it's deeply disturbing. I didn't always think this, but I've since become disturbed by it. It makes violence out to be fun. Kind of like the way Assassin's Creed game make psychopathic violence look "cool" w...
Totally different. I don't think child soldiers will be glorified at all in this game. Though it is worrying that the same guy who makes Quiet the way she is for the reasons he does also intends to deal with the subject of child soldiers. I just hope it's not a really shallow representation of them- ya know, just for the sake of shock, or for the sake of making the game seem mature.
I'd say tied closely to that is folks like azshorty2003 above not reading or trying to understand even 1 of those "50" articles.
I find it hard to imagine projectiles in a Tekken game, which is what this is kind of supposed to be. SF X T was a Street Fighter game basically, this is a Tekken game. I feel like the SF characters might have a few recognisable close-quarters moves, but the rest will just be really normal Tekken kinds of moves, nothing too mad like in SF games. If that's the case though, I can see some SF characters ending up playing similarly to some of the Tekken characters.
However i...
Well obviously if potential criminals are currently playing GTAV like most people are. Not sure how they'll come out of it when they're finished playing though, they might just feel even more justified in their criminality or psychopathy. GTA is game that I'm sure particularly appeals to criminals.
I heard there's a few opinions of this game that mistake the challenge of it for it just being broken and porrly made. This is clearly one of them. Gamers have their hand held too much in games these days. While difficult games frustrate me, I still appreciate the challenge, as well as games that are deliberately challenging. Not just in gameplay but in terms of breaking conventions and being sophisticated in general.
If that happened it wouldn't be safe to even go outside anymore
Maybe in the distant future when there's a greater install base. To be honest, they should've just waited for a bigger install base on the Ps4 and THEN released GTA V. Releasing it in the last days of the Ps3 and Xbox360 was just a mental thing to do. Shouldn't have really been on these consoles at all.
Ha! "Dr. White"? Do Capcom seriously not have grounds to sue at this point?
