Apparently someone disagrees that you and your son are looking forward to Dark Souls 3.
Yeah, I had to laugh at that too, especially considering how much more substantially different all the Souls games are from one another compared to...pretty much any other franchised series out there.
^Yeah, it just puts too much power into the hands of publishers and distributors. If all we are ever paying for is licenses - as in basically PERMISSION to play games until they decide otherwise - then what's to stop a ton of lesser games from completely disappearing from the face of the earth because some corporate big whigs decide it's not making them enough money?
I just feel like the man has very little room to talk. Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 were flat out ugly (great as they were), and though Inquisition made some pretty large leaps in that department, it's not like it's the best looking game ever made.
Maybe this is just a bit of developer rivalry flaring up before E3.
Yeah, I really feel like it will have a much broader negative effect on gaming's community than people realize.
There is just something utterly satisfying and unifying about having a collection of games that a lot of newer gamers will not understand until they have lived in a 100% digital-gaming era for a decade or two. It makes it feel like...I don't know, we as a community will have nothing tangible to pass on and share and cultivate with later generations that are ...
Because this one particular B game looks like it was designed to compete directly with AAA games.
I feel like B-tier games should appeal to the niche markets that AAA games don't go near. AAA games have the "big, dumb, violent shooter" genre saturated.
The best B games are the ones that are just slightly too conceptually unsafe for pubs to dump mountains of money onto, but still creative and accessible enough to appeal to just about everyone. <...

I find it very, VERY hard to believe that you have never bought a game you did not like, but that's fine. Let's just say we all believe that. I literally know absolutely no one else that can make the same claim.
It should be apparent at this point in the industry that devs and pubs are not out to be consumers' friends. They get away with as much as consumers let them, and the popular trend - especially this generation - has been to outri...
I think it's because no one really cares about these games. These are games that you play while you're taking a dump or trying to ignore your extended family at a party you didn't want to go to.
There's no buzz or excitement surrounding them. They're just something to look at while you ignore something else.
Looks like skinny John Lovitz.
If anything, it's actually kind of liberating to see a premier trailer that doesn't overstate the game's graphical capabilities, especially when it seems like this generation the trend has been to outright misrepresent what a game would eventually look like.
It still looks damn good, all things considered.
Take it from me. Having played it, it's pretty clear that it was meant to sell on the merits of it's controversial subject matter and little else.
Mechanically, it's just completely unmemorable. Neither terrible nor great. That's kind of the worst area a piece of entertainment can fall into, really.
All moralizing and name throwing aside...the game sucks pretty hard.
It's a game that was never worth having a conversation about, one way or the other. I guess that's the funny thing about "controversy."
This is no different than any other pornography. Are you people really trying to convince us all that you don't watch porn?
And I'm really about to blow your minds. Even if you're watching porn with real people...you're still watching the same 1's and 0's that make up the "fake" porn.
So that means...it could not have been done last gen, doesn't it?
People disagreeing do not seem to understand that really, really low level characters can now easily obtain ridiculous equipment very early on. It completely unbalances PVP.
I like that cooping in easier, really I do. But there should have been some kind of scaling put in place so people can't exploit the game so easily.
Yeah, and they've already either fixed or are working on fixing a bunch of the stuff that was wrong with the game.
I still can't get 100% onboard with the assessment that they should be completely absolved of liability because at the end of the day, they DID release a pretty broken product.
The difference is they are MUCH more transparent about it and seem much more willing to resolve the issues in a timely manner. So I still respect them for that.
Well, even if they wanted to make cooping easier, there could have easily been some kind of scaling incorporated to curb all the inevitable exploitation.
I'm sure we'll get SOMETHING like that in a future patch. Too much can go wrong with the way things are now.
4k does look good on a computer monitor because you're sitting so close to the screen. I think people need to be aware, though, that in most instances 4k is barely discernible from 1080p content.
Unless I'm smack dab in front of whatever screen I'm using, I can really tell very little difference. Certainly not enough difference to pay the entry fee at this point.
I was actually going to say the complete opposite of that. I think they did a very good job of delivering a product that was relatively close to what they promised early on.
Comment of the day.
