As soon as he exhibits knowledge beyond the games first minutes he can. He doesn't know a damn thing about the game and still puts this crap on a site?
Journalism...
Where's your response to second half of my comment? You know, where you're defending a crappy article by a guy who literally doesn't know the game's currency as a legitimate piece?
Of course it's not final. Your point isn't final either. Metacritic still sucks and is an awful representation of (note) AAA games.
I said nothing about sales figures, dude. I said many reviews aren't trustworthy. People have lost jobs over giving games ...
Screw metacritic. All it does is gauge how much ad revenue a game has with AAA titles.
Splatoon is certainly the most original IP. The gameplay is totally unique, whereas Titanfall is a fps with some advanced movement and mechs and Bloodborne is a Lovecraft skinned Souls game.
Not to knock on those games but Sunset Overdrive and Splatoon are the only unique games this gen that ignore genre traditions and try something new. They dont deserve to be ignored beca...
Im kind of on the same boat. I grew up with nintendo with a GBA and Gamecube, then got a 360. After i got burnt out on those kinds of games im back on Wii U/3ds. Wii U's given me a solid 2 years, hoping for another good year. I had a ps4 which was stolen unfortunately. I got an xbox one a couple days ago.
I guess i just go on a cycle where i get sick of the xbox/ps games, then switch to nintendo until i get sick of them. If they lose their appeal as a unique option i will...
Nintendo uses sd cards and the 3ds does not suffer from serious piracy issues
"...pointing out things you'd normally not even notice unless they were side by side."
That's the digital foundry way.
Overrall the type of improvements made aren't drastically better than say Tomb Raider's Definitive Edition, but this is still 3 games worth of improvements. That is very impressive.
Even Halo MCC had one drastically upgraded game (2) and the other 3 were basically resolution and framerate bumps. It d...

Would love to see how that meeting went.
"Kojima, you're using too many cutscenes! Stop!"
"No"
"You're fired!"
I figured MS would have some kind of trademark on the term achievement in games
Keep in mind:
1. This doesn't specifically mention it being for a new console. Could be for a Wii U revision, as some have suggested.
2. They don't have to act on their patent. They've been renewing patents for Eternal Darkness for 15 years with no product.
I wouldn't have minded if the MGS saga ended with 4. 5 better cap it off better than 4, otherwise it might as well not exist.
I like that nintendo is getting achievements (i dont care for them, but many do), but this whole increasingly social games industry is starting to get to me. This kind of stuff is really taxing on hardware and servers, and even if it looks cool on paper, how many actually use/care about it?
Edit: Nintendos other patents have made me unenthusiastic about NX. No disc drive? Wtf?
Bethesda is a publisher as well, he's referring to titles both internal and external. Fallout and Skyrim are internal, Evil Within and Dishonored were external.
It sounds more like they're looking to publish more external titles
QOL was totally unrelated to their gaming stuff. It was proposed as a secondary source of income and targeted for the mass market, not the gaming one.
@Spotie
But wasn't the Wii a bunch of grandmas and casuals? What were they doing coming from the ps2? And if they liked the ps2, a core console, why would they stick with a wii for 7 years until the ps4 came out and not buy a 360 or ps3 in the meantime.
Before you say it wasn't all casuals, this gen is selling 11 million units slower than the 7th gen even though the Xbone and Ps4 are selling a combined 13 million faster than their predecessors BECAUSE...
@dboy
The strength of the brand was only part of the equation, its silly to put the ps3's success on that alone. It was because to many sony was offering a better console as the years went by. More exclusives, free online, etc.
@Haru
There are conditions to the 360's success, of course. There are conditions to everything. The ps1 came out a year, sometimes two years earlier than the n64 in some regions and their dominance in the 5th ...
You missed what i was saying. MS stole half the ps2's marketshare from the 6th gen. Which was basically a consistent 75%, excluding the dreamcast.
Also your statistic about xbone selling slower than the ps3 is wrong. The ps3 sold 5,552,074 in its first year while the xbox one is harder to approximate. MS states shipped numbers, and 5 million were shipped as of april while amother 3.5 were stated as shipped in the Q4 report. It is safe to say it sold more than 500k of that...
MS left last gen with almost 50% of the marketshare sony once had with the ps2. No one is king forever.
Ultimately the PS3 overtook the 360, but MS was making massive strides, they were in a position to win over even more customers with the downfall of Nintendo, but they screwed it up and are only recently back on track.
This gen Sony made all the right moves while MS didn't, that is definitely true.
I think people are grossly overestimating how many are willing to drop 200-300 for a peripheral with limited support. Maybe a vocal minority on n4g, but how many on the mass market (where the money is)?
Lol the lens flare was there to hide the poor graphics, removing it made it look worse
Me either! This game has been a long time coming, and im sure the devs are relieved to see its getting solid reviews.
AAA horror on its way back, slowly but surely...
