The Witcher 3 isn't my personal pick for GOTY, but I wish there was some kind of award that acknowledged ethical standards from developers like CD Projekt. I respect the hell out of those guys.

Ok, well take those two weaknesses and add in TONS of bugs and glitches on top of an aging graphics engine (to be polite) and you have Fallout 4.
I still love the game, but I'm with Der_Kommandant. It's inexcusable when so many other games nowadays are able to be much more stable and playable AND have a much better looking engine.
It would never be a problem if the remakes didn't seem to be actively REPLACING new games, as opposed to just complimenting them.
If you think about it, it was cold at Shadow Moses, and Snake WAS doing an awful lot of crawling around.
That just makes too much sense.
I'm going to have to get over the freaky doll faces, but I still can't wait to play this.
First, I don't mean to sound pessimistic here, but this is NEVER going to even come close to a playable version with Konami the way it is.
Second...why does Snake have breasts?
Same. Everyone else seems to be going more and more open world and epic, but it all seems far less focused. Bloodborne is obviously a little less open, but every inch of it is packed with loving detail and you STILL get that epic feeling.
...plus, you're just not going to top a Miyazaki game in the combat department.
The problem is that even the process of voting takes quite a commitment from people now.
The ratio of crap/bait submissions to the ones with potential is pretty damned lopsided right now. I have to wade through...SO...MUCH...CRAP...t o get to the games that look alright...and then they still fail most of the time anyway.
I don't think it being rushed is the real issue. It feels like a lot of content was intentionally left out for DLC. It's been a long time since I've played a multiplayer shooter that was this bare-bones.
Definitely nailed the Star Wars feel, but it's so bittersweet when you hit that seven or eight hour mark and feel like you don't really need to play anymore.
IGN being IGN...
I think in this case, though, he was trying to say "too many game modes for the sake of having game modes." There's only two modes anyone is ever going to be playing, honestly...
In general, most reviews are simply reiterating that the core game feels empty after a few hours of play.
Haha, maybe I'm just being cynical, but am I the only one that interpreted this as "we would like to have our own redundant cash cow that we can re-release annually?"
They kinda just listed retail prices for most of that stuff...I hate when they do that.
Well, it IS technically pornography.
If you're selling an image with the intent to incite any degree of sexual arousal, then it falls under the category of pornography. That's what pornography is...
The point here is that it should not be censored regardless. If people want it in their game, then they should be allowed to have it.
In a game that is, more than anything else, attempting to sell an atmosphere and a believable world to you, things like random ugly textures and pop-in, a choppy, inconsistent framerate, and poor animation go a long way in breaking immersion.
Combined with the constant bugs and glitches (so happy you guys haven't been running into them...), I'm having a very hard time getting into the world like I did seven years ago. There have been so many games that have done it ve...
Who cares about the voices? YOU CAN'T ADJUST BOOB SIZES, DAMMIT!
@breakpad
For the record, I am COMPLETELY against censorship (this case included), but it's kind of sad that the knee-jerk reaction gamers have to this ridiculous censorship is to romanticize developers who put stupid, juvenile panty / boob shots in their games.
Kojima is not a goddamned hero for sticking a camera up Quiet's crotch.
Again, I HIGHLY recommend avoiding the"GAMING-centric" companies like Turtle Beach and Astro. Not that they're terrible and you're instantly going to cringe when you hear them, but you can get much better quality and versatility for the same price or less. The beauty of a device like the Boom Pro is the flexibility of it. With my Oppo PM3's and the Boom Pro, I can use it as a headset on my phone, PS4 and PC, and then use the regular 1/8" cable when I just want to us...
I would never recommend spending extra to get 7.1 headsets. More drivers means smaller drivers means inferior sound. The minimal soundstage advantage that you get from having extra drivers positioned around a tiny earcup can easily be offset by some of the surround sound software out these days like Direct3D and Xaudio. You can get VERY similar results with stereo headphones coupled with surround sound software, but with much, much better fidelity.
Personally, I think the bes...
...so, what was the joke? The reference to Yatta?
At least "indie GOTY." I feel like it needs to get SOMETHING. It was so damned good.
