A real gamer is someone that loves the art of gaming, respects gaming as an artform, and treats gaming as an hobby. To me a real gamer is just someone that loves everything about games in the same way a foodie loves everything about food. But most importantly a real gamer doesn't try to separate the community and tarnish games or peoples personal taste on a constant basis. It's funny that there's so many heated debates on these forums, but when is there ever just flat out a discus...
Lol money running dry? That dude made MILLIONS off gears of war and he's a huge investor in oculust rift. He must've made millions off of that alone.
I can game on a PC for the next 10 years too. Only reason I'd switch out my internals is to have better up to date hardware which a PS4 nor XB1 can do. Your visual fidelity will always be tapped in those 10 years. The games on PC are just down right cheaper. Even if someone were to upgrade their PC every 4 years the cost that people pay for online, 60 dollars game plus DLC, new thin versions of consoles, ect, PC gaming would still be cheaper.
Why would anyone have to justify their purchase of anything to you? Maybe they liked the games that are available on the XB1 more than the PS4. Or maybe they have more friends ingrained into that ecosystem and play on xbox. I don't understand this standoffish attitude where people have to justify their purchases to you like you're some god. People buy what they like they don't need to argue with you about it.
I cannot imagine going through these gens just owning 1 system per gen. I just see these systems as a plastic boxes that play my games.I barely used my Wii last gen, but if I never owned that system I would've missed out on Super Mario Galaxy which is one of the best games of the last 20 years. I think if someone really likes games, and this is a real hobby of yours, then owning all systems is a no brainer. I'm not saying spend 1500 dollars on game systems alone, but going an entire g...
Yeah I never saw this hate when Cliff was making Unreal on PC. When that dude made millions making gears on 360 and became a huge celebrity dev then that's where the hate just came oozing in. The Bungie guys used to get TONS of crap too back in the Halo 2 and Halo 3 days. There were forums where people took the piss out of halo nonstop but now they're elite since they don't make exclusive games anymore. One thing you can't tarnish is a legacy. Unreal Tournament and Gears of Wa...
In what way is he a sell out? because he stands up for developers rights and them making money?
People can hate this dude all they want but gears and Unreal Tournament are classics that will be remembered for the next 20 years in gaming. Cliff is easily one the best devs in the business.
You're saying MS paid gamereactor to interview Ted price so it would end up on N4G? Man how is this guy still posting without getting blocked and people that don't post troll stuff get locked for days and even blocked? This dude posts nothing but troll bait stuff.
I doubt Sega ever makes a new Shenmue game without one the big three console guys funding it. From my understanding the IP just was never a big seller.
I like Zelda, but the games are very hit and miss for me. One game can be a genre definig masterpiece and the next one could be meh.
I haven't played one of these games in years, but I remembered being underwhelmed by it the last time I played it. I might give a next gen Yakuza another try when it comes out west.
You don't expect anything. You want it to be average and you want to believe if it does get good scores that those scores don't matter because they're overhyped. You'll allow your predisposed bias to seep through no matter what.
By your logic every exclusive should be multiplatform.
This is a silly debate. Are you seriously saying the PS4 is more cost effective than a PC? Lol dude these consoles will out of date in less than 2 years. I've seen people build monster performance based PC's for 700 to 800 bucks and then have the ability to swap out their eternals 4 or 5 years later with more up to date hardware. Also a PC is used for WAY more things than a console. Comparing the two is idiotic. In the long run it's actually cheaper to game on PC's than consol...
No it shouldn't. Severs cost a crap ton of money to rent and keep up to date. I don't mind spending the 30 bucks a year, the amount I pay for my Xbox live PS+ a year on black friday, anyway. The price of a game should be determined off of value and quality. If I put 60+ hours into a multiplayer my 60 dollars was well worth it.
Btw, if you want to be more technical. I've laid WAY more hours into multiplayer centric games like titanfall, COD 4, Battlefield 3, Halo 2, ect. About 60 hours or more each into each game over the years. So in what way is the game less valuable when there's potentially more hours being played within the game? The only people I can see this affecting are people that don't have many friends to play friendly multiplayer matches or people that simply don't like multiplayer.
So should only single player games with no multiplayer. Goes both ways.
I loved the first two true crimes immensely. I have no clue why it didn't do better numbers than it did when both games came out. True crimes streets of ny captured that city so well and the soundtrack was awesome. I have no clue why they cancelled it and made it into sleeping dogs.
You'd have publishers fighting against each other to make sure there's competition in software space, naturally bringing game prices down. No one cares about the hardware. The only negative to one box would be a potential price and that would never be a problem because you'd still have to sell the box. It would still be 500 dollars or less.
