Honestly, as much as I love this series, I wouldn't want them to bring it back now. It wouldn't be a sequel to Defiance, and even if it was I have no faith in sequels that come years after the last installment in a series anymore. And there's no way a reboot wouldn't be awful. It would either be a retread of the story they already told, or a completely new story with the same characters, which I don't want.
"Playing an online game has a number of distinct advantages like being able to play at any time of the day or night and the ability to be instantly transported into an immersive virtual world to adventure in."
...this is literally every game ever made since the beginning of video gaming.
It has nothing to do with replay value, for me at least. I'm perfectly happy spending money on a game I'm only going to play once (although I'd argue that you don't need MP or branching paths to add replay value, I replay the first 4 MGS games all the time because I like re-experiencing the story). It's about not wanting to pay money for an unfinished story. It's like buying those awful anime discs that give you three episodes of one season of a show for fifteen dollar...
Exactly. Dragging a story out for months is exactly why I only watch TV shows either after they're over or when they have 4 or 5 seasons out for me to binge. I don't want to wait months or years to get a full story.
Since this isn't an actual athletic contest there's literally no reason to have a separate tournament, but, while we're pandering to certain groups by treating them like children, why not a blacks only tournament? Or a Jewish tournament? Or an Indonesian transexual lesbian one? Come on, Paris Games Week, you gotta be inclusive by dividing people into the smallest groups possible.
Agreed. I hate the endless hype machine. It's gotten so bad that I mostly refuse to read anything about a game unless there's a release date, or a release window that's less than a year out. I hate getting really excited about a game and then having to wait three plus years for it to actually come out.
Totally agree. 12 hours is perfect for most games, IMO, except for RPGs, which should be between 30-50 if you do all the side stuff.

Don't worry, even if you beat the game you won't get any closure. ~_^7
ayyyyyyyy
Ugh, please no. Not everything needs to be open world. Especially open world the way most people do it, with an unstructured narrative told mostly in radio conversations or audio logs and a large sandbox filled with boring busywork. Give me more enclosed areas with cinematic cutscenes and structured narratives, pls.
Oh look, another ibtimes article pushing unoriginal SJW ideas...
Yes, especially RPG's where a more structured narrative would make the story much better and make the player's actions more meaningful.
Oh god, you know what's really boring? Another cookie cutter whine fest about "diversity". Not a single original thought in this entire article. *yawn*
It's better than only having straight romance options. If a game gives you a choice in who you can romance, there should be options for everyone. Although if the game doesn't have romance, or doesn't let the player choose, then there's no need to try and fill some BS diversity checklist.
Polygon is utter garbage, but they're actually right here. It's pointless to compare games sales and movie ticket sales because one game and one ticket are so wildly different in price. Doesn't mean games that make millions aren't impressive, or that gaming is somehow worth less than movies. People need to stop interpreting "this game we as gamers have decided is amazing and deserves nothing but praise isn't quite as amazing as we've been saying in a very small wa...
Greatest ever Sonic game? You mean Sonic 3 and Knuckles?
How do you make an already boring and overdone genre even worse? Add feminist whining. If I want to get lectured about how terrible it is/was to be a woman I'll enroll in college, thanks.
I hate repeating things and I don't have time to grind or perfect my skills for hours, so I'd personally prefer if games at least had an easy option. I usually start out on normal out of habit, but I almost never go above that. Especially with modern games being so unnecessarily long.
So TPP made almost twice as much as AoU when each copy sells for about five times as much as a non-3D movie ticket. Not counting limited/collector's editions. That's...actually not the least bit impressive. Way to make one of the dumbest comparisons ever, venturebeat.
This article sounds like a press release instead of actual journalism...
Please stop linking cheatcc stories. They are one of the most trollish, clickbaity sites out there.
