When I first saw home 5 years ago I got exited , on paper I thought of something like sims online, like a virtual open world social network, but I was kinda disappointed, there's really not much to do in terms of socialising , and I agree with Pushagree, communicating is painfully slow, that and for some reason avatars take forever to appear,
I also didn't really like the idea of paying for clothes, if the currency was linked to your trophies that would have been aw...
Jade Empire anyone ?
was there any need for that vile word?
and how exactly did they win ? by marketing a gimmick to a horde of casual aka NON-gamers, seriously its no secret that Nintendo has lagged behind in the online department, which as of 2013 is a major aspect of modern gaming how anyone can deny that is beyond me.
"human fights are unnecessary and poorly executed"
that worries me
Thank you for your civil response, but another thing you need to take into consideration is that most of the people that bought a PS2 were PS1 owners, those kids that chose a PS2 over a dreamcast were more than likely PS1 owners, a console that was nearing the 100 million mark.
Its easy to point fingers at the PS2 but when you look into it clearly wasnt the case
and that's the annoying thing, so many devs are trying to appeal to the COD crowd, but NONE of them and I mean NONE of them ever prevail, there's nothing unique about RE6's failed "action" approach as made clear with so many games before it, all it does in the end is alienate fans, I am so dreading Dead Space 3 release date
I like the old misconception that Sony destroyed Sega, they didn't, Sega destroyed themselves, there are countless reasons for Sega's demise some of them can even be attributed to the genesis add ons, but to name a few, piracy, tarnished image , lack of DVD, low attach rate, future consoles anticipation, online launched too late, the console itself was released far too early, poor business strategies in general the list goes on, I won't call you crazy just ignorant.
Why are games insanely priced in oz ? I remember my friend telling me that game costs 100 aud
ahh yes because 11'000 people are annually killed because of video games, this guy is spot on
what about the Korean War, that was just as brutal as Vietnam and it only lasted 3 years, people seem to forget about it because it's sandwiched between 2 more famous wars (WW2 and Vietnam)
70 million isn't decent its incredible especially for a console that's still on the market selling, the NES sold 60 million in its entire lifetime by your logic that's a disappointment, and especially when you factor everything that did go wrong for the PS3 no other brand would have sustained for so long, certainly not long enough achieve 70 million.
Yes its not quite 150 million but then what is ? people seem to forget that the PS2 sales is a milestone that won&...
Mine was COD W@W, I had to choice between that and Fallout 3 I really wish I picked up the latter instead, the former is actually one of the most unpleasant gaming experiences I've ever had to endure , dreadful game
Oh and Socom confrontation , how could I forget that game was a massive f#%k you to a Socom fan , it felt less of a game but more of a pre alpha with each an every patch feeling like a portion of new build, I regret buying it because my hopes of it becoming be...
There are many multuiplatform games, great multiplatform games that end up being forgotten, sales, and platforms don't always factor in a games legacy,
my favourite game Ico didn't sell to well and was released early in the PS2's lifetime, yet that game is still remembered, it's legacy still holds up to this day, because it has qualities thats unique to that game.
Another one of my favourites Super Metroid, didn't sell to hot either, but i...
your really reaching on that list, and I mean scraping an empty barrel reaching, more than half of those aren't exclusive, have never been exclusive and if they were, haven't been exclusive to xbox for like 5 years, that's more than half of your list, so that game may as well be multiplatform if it was ever released.
I'm amazed that its not on the Vita as well,it makes no sense as to why its not comming to that platform, its a good thing you mentioned MH because it also reminded me of Resident Evil PSP, remember that game what happened to it ?
Square themselves called the PS1/PS2 FF as the golden age era
The Japanese release of the Dual Analog featured, force feedback and was released in April 1997 same month as Rumble Pak, the misconception that Sony copied Nintendo is a false allegation. And even if they did , force feed back had been around gaming arcades for 2 decades, it wasn't really a new concept.
every boss in GOW 3 was amazing, I actually felt a bit sorry for them at end of the battle, sadistic
I never use it because its a vile word, that said if you were to use within the context of anger over someone or a situation then I would understand, or in a way that George Carlin uses it, he however uses it over video gaming , it's quite sad that he feels so strongly about video games that he would resort to using such a strong word against an article that undermines a video game service, that said excuse me for being raised proper and lacking the "balls" to tolerate such fou...
