Very well put.
I didn't always agree, but I did like his perspective. It is rare you get a well-read and intelligent libertarian commentator in this industry, and therefore it be a travesty if we lost em'.
That is unless you enjoy choosing between either a liberal circle-jerk, or a sexist man-child; because those 2 groups make up a majority of the people I see on gaming websites.
Do you really think bloody EA would let this cash cow die?
No. It just needs time, and the saga needs to be completely planned-out before they even announce part 1 of the new series.
Well that's what MS wanted right?
Wait. Was XBOX intended to be a gaming product? Hmmm could have fooled me...
What about 8K on PC?
Will there even be "Launch Exclusives" for Scorpio?
I think MS has made it clear XBOX will no longer have exclusives.
The problem is "Having the best combat in the series" doesn't mean much when that's not what the series was famous for.
The combat gameplay may be better; but it isn't better than MGS, Battlefield, Horizon, or Nier -> And those are the games it is competing with if that's all ME is anymore.
Bingo!
If anything this game has gotten mountain loads of pitty points. I have seen numerous reviews where all they do say how terrible it is, and then they give it a 7 or 8. BS!
Literally everything that made the Original Trilogy great is absent from this game. What's left is a mediocre action shooter-rpg with open-world elements, and some LIMITED story decisions.
Horizon has better decision making components, and they don&#...
It's almost catching up to Minecraft sales at this point.
Before it was of questionable believability to think an open world game could defeat GTA, but now it is just downright hilarious to suggest it!
I didn't even like 4 much (9/10 at best imo), but GTA V is on a whole other level. The writing, gameplay, graphics, and UNENDING content are insane. It's over, this is the ultimate open-world crime game.
@Tankbusta40, Cupofjoe, and seemingly everyone else
I am not at all concerned about the animations. I am concerned that literally everything about this game screams lazy cash-in.
Almost no new races, the old ones are just as shallow as ever, and the game is more linear than ever,
Then what did you like about ME?
It's combat was solid, but not special. It's graphics were good, but not great. It's story was decent, but not the best.
The choices and characters are what made the series. If that's not what you liked, I am curious as to if you even really liked it lol
There's nothing wrong with hoping for the best. But hope should never distract you from reality, and the reality is this looks like a massive f*ck up.
"Why we love these games in the first place."
Sorry but months ago the developers already confirmed:
-They hadn't yet planned out a sequel (Why would you not write out the entire trilogy first unless you didn't think this game was that good?)
-They called the sex scenes "Softcore porn". (Great, more 14 year old writers and directors in charge)
-They stated the game was more linear than the...
Fable was always a mediocre RPG that got pumped out every couple years so MS could claim they had an exclusive RPG series.
Nothing more, nothing less. Go play some good games...
If MS intended XBOX to last, they would have bought a ton of game studios like Sony did during the PS3 era.
Instead they have been closing them and moving games to PC. It is very clear MS plans on phasing out their console business...
Are you kidding me?
The PS4 boots up in like 7 seconds from sleep mode.
They were 20 years ago when they bought Playstations.
Now they don't care what Nintendo does anymore...
Yeah that's stupid for 2 reasons:
1) Grow up people. Like there's even a person on Earth that hasn't said something funny yet off-putting, and then later regretted saying it. Plus even if he didn't regret saying it, it really wasn't that bad.
2) It seems like it was mostly his decision to leave, and if he actually thought it wasn't a big deal; he should have doubled down on it and just ignored the haters. Instead he let them wi...
Haha sure. Just wait a couple weeks people - that's when all of the framtime analysis will come in and AMD will show quite the advantage over Intel. Many reviews have already said that Ryzen feels "Smoother" than Intel even at lower framerates.
Not to mention AMD hasn't even launched gaming quad-cores yet lol.
Don't need 1 exclusive to spread them out?
Actually 2, but 1 would be a start for MS.
