You shouldn't rely on "luck." I mean, for the love of God people, pay attention to WHO is making a KS pitch before donating. This is virtually EVERYTHING these people
"This may be our first independently made game, but the abundance of challenges that come with it are no new experience. All of us come from professional backgrounds, and the process of overcoming the inevitable challenges is just as rewarding as the end product."
The onl...
People still don't understand Kickstarter. They think it's the "starting line" for getting a creative product made. But it's not. The successful projects are the ones that already have months or years of time (and a great deal of money besides) put into them.
You can't just say, "I have this idea for a thing, give me money so I can develop it." You have to develop the idea /first/.
And it's hard to blame creators for fa...
There's no such thing as "capping out." That's not how it works. A game world consists of a number of variables, and it's size depends on how those variables are set.
Just think back on some recent games. The more detail and visual effects, the less the size of the game world. We had gorgeous looking games like The Last of Us with fantastic models, lighting effects and animation... which had very small, linear environments. Likewise we had very large, ex...
Maybe 'cause textures, draw distances, and lighting effects are still a step down from the original Wii version? Resolution, too. You're getting portability at the expense of fidelity.
Funny. For me, Witcher 2 is what tempers the hype for me. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game, but it did several things poorly that the first game did well.
Fun fact: the fairies are exactly where they have been for the past 14 years.
Nintendo really, desperately, needs to hire a 3rd party marketing group. Whoever they've got in-house... are terrible.
Same here. It doesn't hurt that the ALBW 3DS is so much sexier than the MM 3DS.
Even if? The odds are overwhelmingly against it even being mediocre.
...Really? If you've played the demo at all you should be able to think of at least a couple thinks people wouldn't like. What leaps to my mind right off the bat is the fact that you spend more time waiting for the AI to finish its turn than you do actually playing the game.
Then there's the divisive art direction, corridor-based level design, lack of any map view, and the fact that it feels like a watered-down Valkyria. Just check some forums. The demo's reac...
Dragon Quest was never very popular in the Western regions. Square-Enix had to bundle DQ8 with a demo for FFXII to move copies, and has routinely refused to localize Dragon Quest titles subsequently.
I thought all shadows had yellow eyes?
And it's pretty obvious that the MC this time around will be a Lupin-type character, with masks taking the place of P4's sunglasses. "The Phantom" is probably his moniker.
...Publishers don't make games.
Game-wise it's the best out of the three current-gen consoles. Feature-wise, too. Which is why it's such a tragedy that it's not selling well.
That's gotta be one of the most irritating "counterarguments" this side of "nostalgia goggles" and "why do you make your own game."
And for me, personally, the biggest problem with (the demo for) Codename Steam is the long-ass wait times for enemy turns. I hate games where you spend twice as long waiting on the AI as you do actually playing. Others have complaints about the muddy art direction and the simplistic level design.
...
You're misconstruing my statements. They're If/Then. Being "forced" is predicated on "to play."
And just because something is not the case does not mean it should not be the case. Backwards compatibility is important, no matter how you cut it.
I know, right? With a lot of good games and backwards compatibility, it resembles last generation a lot more than the current generation. And thank god for that.
You could always sell the discs for $80 online.
The actual Wii game disc? No.
But AskYourMumGaming is wrong, because the VC game is only 7GB; WiiU HDD's come in 16GB and 32GB flavors. So you can install the game to the primary HDD if you want.
That said, I've noticed zero performance difference between games played from the main HDD versus external HDD.
Scam.
Donation.
You have a serious comprehension problem with at least one of these words.
