Great argument. I definitely understand her point; but the truth is that as of right now for gaming companies the young male demographic is the one that counts. Sex sells.
I think there should be a balance; but I sincerely don't mind having atracrive looking females in my games; as funny and ridiculous as it they are some tittles.
Looks like all "crazy" fans were right after all.
I disagree with the author of the article.
While the general behavior pattern of the protagonist can be indeed predictable; the aim of the game is for the player to understand his/her choices before and after making a decision.
As I feel it, ME conversational gameplay is about cause and effect, action and consequence, and ultimately the moral (and aesthetic) forging of your very own Shepard.
"Once and for all"
LOL!
WoW has been forever plagued by the ugly ghost of class imbalance, they have done and undone talent trees countless times, always resulting in more than once class to take it up the ass.
For a company that has been making billions of dollars a year since it was released they have been terribly bad at keeping their consumers satisfied.
No graphical enhancements, no new character models, mass...
I can take an even crappier story..
no limb slicing..
implementation of optional QTEs..
no chests or whatever..
but ONLY ONE WEAPON??!
That's fucking insane.
One of the best things about NG was the exquisite selection of awesome weapons!
I can understand a few shortcomings, no Itagaki, lower budget, casual players targeted, etc.
But this is a total ...
I think most people would support developers, since well, they are the ones that make the game.
Publishers usually fund or co-fund the project, they are in charge of advertising and negotiating release details such as everything that has to do with $$$; and more.
Developers and publishers are sometimes in discord during production. Publishers or "suits" may want specific things like more mainstreamed themes with the general aim of selling more ...
Way to self destroy his brief and controversial little fame.
If you talk big, you gotta be ready for what comes after.
When its about your career and business, you HAVE to keep a cool head.
Pretty much I think he's fucked ..
Mass Effect 3 is amazing, fellas.
If you have liked the series so far, this entry will blow you away.
Now, don't be blind to EA's bullcrap DRM, controversial DLC and other sh*t that would piss off even the more most patient elcorr.
Underneath all the pile of poo, lies a great game to be enjoyed.
I've played a couple of their games and I wasn't too impressed.
Enslaved was ok; great character animations and attractive storyline; but the gameplay was quite dull and boring. I bought this game at release after the impressive demo :(
Heavenly Sword I did not like at all; the gameplay action felt out of control, and the story felt generic as %#$*.
Point is, these guys haven't done much in my book; I do think there is ple...
Sorry about that, didn't mean to brag about PCs; but Halo is my favorite FPS series and if that were to happen, it would rock my gaming world.
Don't hate PC guys, man. They are mostly people that have worked really hard to afford the expensive components of a high end gaming computer.
I personally own all platforms except the Wii, and I love my console games, Uncharted series, Halo, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bayonetta, etc. But multiplatform releases I ge...
I guess fuck PC too, huh?
Halo 4 would be so awesome on high end machines.
Running on the upcoming windows 8 Xbox live platform, cross platform multiplayer..
one can only dream.
Not buying this game.
CAPCOM excells at being cheap and greedy. From minimal content on initial release to selling shit that you already paid for. Not to mention that what could potentially be real DLC they repack and sell at full retail price as 1.5, like the ultra and ultimate versions.
Assholes.
The game is looking good and the gameplay is not bad; but I think this would've made more sense as a different title.
Some series need a reboot or a change of design to make things fresh and interesting to play; but I fear Ninja Theory's DmC might've overdone it.
Don't get me wrong, I think they are great and all that; but perhaps the Devil May Cry series didn't need such a radical change. I think the soul of the masterful first game ...
Not THAT misleading, we've seen a lot worse in here.
It actually sounds good they have GTA & Nikon Bellic as blueprints for open world gameplay and character consistency.
The original game was severely flawed, but somethings were very well done, like depth of abilities and skyscraper hopping.
Looking forward to this game; I hope they get things right this time.
Burn the OP as much as you want; but he's raising some valid points.
Everyone's excited about ME3 and shit; but EA's gaping money sucking hole is kinda of a turn off, to be honest.
Then again, greedy corporations and their crafty behaviour don't seem to matter much according to many recent examples; like the record breaking sales number of multiple Call of Duty titles post Vince & Zampella.
Different examples; but y...
Another noob trying to be a game news editor...
The game looks good so far and it looks like fun. IMO
Who the f*** wrote that sh*t?
Left 4 dead? Seriously?
This Gen: Dead space series.
previous Gen: Silent Hill series
Wow. That was weak. The N4G comments are actually funnier than the "article"
I think the way young Nate said: "Pendeijoh!" made his place origin very clear; USA.
That was hilarious, btw.
Lol. what the heck?
