It took a couple months to finally find a successful video game kickstarter.
The Wii happened.
When the casual bubble burst those parts of the video game industry that survived became squeezed, forcing a lot of tough business decisions that gamers are still pissed about (Micro-transactions, DLC, the entire Xbox One launch, etc).
Culturally there was a also a Trump-phenomenon-like counter reaction by the old guard gamers against all perceived threats (casuals, sjw's, greedy publishers, gaming journalists, underpowered hardware, unf...
Oh my God! You are first person I've ever seen on the internet who's spelled the word "definitely" correctly! Consider me definatley impressed!
I miss manuals, not so much for the manuals themselves, or even that I ever read them, but because by having them developers are less likely to have forced in-game tutorials, which I detest. I literally stopped playing the original Fable after 5 minutes of being forced to play a child attacking a dummy just to learn that X swung my sword.
Games like this never interested me. If I'm playing the same game after three months that means I'm missing playing something else. Life is too short to read the same book 5 times.
This is crossing into Spielberg movie starring Tom Hanks territory.
Let's make it more clickbaity! Here's five more:
5. Dark Souls
4. Elder Scrolls
3. Driving games (all)
2. FIFA
1. Mario
4.
What's sadder?
1. Someone making a video to discuss $3 rubber pads?
2. Someone posting said video on N4G as if it's news?
3. Someone commenting on it? Doh!
It's the greatest console of all time for action grind rpg's like Sword Art Online, Freedom Wars, Soul Sacrifice, Phantasy Star Nova, and Toukiden.
I think the real reason it failed is because Sony got so good at security that the PSP hack scene couldn't crack it or the Vita and turn it into a $40 emulation dream machine. Custom firmware made the original PSP one of most useful pieces of handheld technology ever.
Hearing the words "developers" and "Kickstarter" in the same sentence is like hearing "Nigeria" and "scam". Any developer that funds an upcoming game through Kickstarter is by definition pulling a sleight of hand.
The Aki wrestling games are still the best ever. Many people didn't realize this was the first US release to use the engine that would power WCW/NWO World Tour, WCW/NWO Revenge, WWF Wrestlemania 2000, and WWF No Mercy for the N64; this first was crude but the fundamentals were there.
People also forget that Def Jam: Vendetta for the PS2 and Gamecube was the last game with the engine. The later Def Jam games went in a different direction.
Yes I remember the day that Mega Man X came out for the SNES, I immediately threw away my NES, SMS, 7800, and Genesis because once a good exclusive game comes out that a different console can't immediately answer, that console and all the games that have or ever will come out for it aren't worth keeping.
I've learned that this article has convinced Best Buy and Gamestop to drop both the Xbox One and Wii-U from their stores the day after Uncharted 4 comes out. We ...
I honestly thought the Coleco Chameleon thing was exposed as a vaporware scam and we'd all moved on. Like emails from Nigerian Presidents.
Wow, the interview made the game more confusing. It's Moby Dick, but Big Boss is Ahab and the whale, and so is America, and nuclear weapons are like whale oil.
$3 off NHL 15 does not a clearance sale make.
Wait wait don't get excited. I don't see any Gears game free this month, so this must be fake. By law a Gears game must be one of the 360 offerings. Would be cool if it was real tho.

The ability of a fluff article starting a flame war over a non-existent sequel of a not-yet-released game is everything wrong with N4G.
"The Destiny..err Division is shaping up to be one of the most unique games of this generation.
The promise of Bungie's...err Ubisoft's Massive hybrid shooter RPG is finally coming together. It’s a real RPG and a real shooter in one.”
