'tis a good gen.
But a list of great games from the previous gen or the one before that would be much, much longer. (probably caus of all the multiplats this gen and nintendo not being a major candidate with hardcore gamers anymore)
My main problem is that they tend to sacrifice gameplay, replayability, innovation and content for marketability this gen, and that's a damn shame.
New consoles will improve things because there won't ...
"different weapons, weapon upgrades, new perks, new support killstreaks, new modes, new environments,new customization and of course new maps"
ok so. For upgrades, perks, killstreaks, "customization" and modes all they need are icons & some LUA scripting (or whatever scripting system they have implemented but it hardly matters).
MP maps require a lot of time spent modelling environments, sure. But 99% of the game's textures are rip...
article:
"it’s pretty crazy actually that this kind of thing wasn’t spotted by Infinity Ward"
Not at all. Every multiplat AAA title these days has MASSIVE and OBVIOUS bugs everywhere, so it makes sense that it would slip by.
Also, IW have no reputation at all anymore considering most of their key staff left, they are just a name that AV can stick on the box.
I prefer elder scrolls.
A lot of the greatness of FA3 was just Bethesda maturing their gameplay design, so it had a lot of smart changes which have been reflected in Skyrim, where relevant. It was also really well stylised.
It's still no Morrowind though, they should remake it for the new engine so all the people who started with Oblivion or Skyrim can experience it (heard a lot of people complain the graphics are too bad). But they won't get the mill...
I can usually tell 10x more from a 5 minute gameplay video than I can from 20 different reviews.
"The expansive setting, beautifully modeled characters, and the gorgeous world are without parallel."
...
"without parallel"
I could name several games with superior graphics lol (and in some cases, VASTLY superior).
But from an artistic standpoint, yeah Skyrim is beautiful.
Hahahahaha!
So win.
"Is this a bad time to be an FPS fan?"
Nope. CoD 2 and counter strike still work.
"double"
A lot more than double.
Most of the bugs are just funny.
Until you get stuck in some geometry and have to load. (or use the command console on PC)
LoL. This has been around since CoD4.
You set your system language to something really obscure (like arabic or something) and use characters that won't transate to ordinary characters in your usual character set. Then when you change the languate back, instead of letters you get whatever other character was in that place in the set (the button icons are often characters in the font set).
Or it was something like that anyway...
I have a 280GTX in my system and it can run the game fine most of the time. But there were a few points where the fps dropped to 20-30 for no reason at all (nothing graphically intensive going on) but after pausing and unpausing the frame rate instantly goes back to normal (80-90).
Though to be honest, I have seen far more inconsistent frame rates in plenty of other games.
It's everything it should be and a masterpeice in its own right.
I wasn't expecting it to be better than Morrowind, so yes it's everything I expected ;)
TW2 looks vastly superior at close range, which to be honest is what you will be paying attention to most of the time.
The mountains and distant detail is excellent in both but I think it appears artistically better in Skyrim.
He does come accross like a bit of a douche but the overall idea is pure. That AAA titles should be able to provide the simple changes that they often miss out on their PC releases these days.
I am just going by the article. It could be bias for all I know.
And I am not trolling, at all. (I was actually replying to you but the other guy posted before I did... Sub HD i.e. Upscaled to display on a 720 or 1080 screen... I was defending YOU)
...
And another disagree ninja disagreeing to something that is undisagreeable I see.
hah, win :P
:O
Looks almost like that vid has the sides the other around from what the screenshots in this article are labelled :S (or er... the other way around)
Not sure what troll coward disagreed with you.
The PS3 version is obviously upscaled (or moreso than the 360 version is).
Too buggy.
Too glitchy.
Too instable. (yes... 3 different things for 1 thing :P I am harsh)
Too slow with updates and the inability to actually fix all the problems (BC2 still has major bugs, like sometimes not being able to aim down sight... the same bug that is in BF3 that they clearly had no intention of fixing at all)
Controls and graphics are not customisable enough.
Not balanced enough.
