I love your point:
"Gonna be interesting to watch how this whole "everyone is a winner and gets a trophy" age pans out. "
We live in the age of achievements & trophies, where wiping your ass gets you recognition. I personally think they're a blight on the industry, with games designed around arbitrary numbers assigned to arbitrary feats.
Its amazing how different this current generation of gamers are now compared to us at...
I did read the piece, and it possible to fail at the game: I've read countless messages from people who have quit, and that would constitute a failure to beat the game.
Would you prefer the game had a Perma-death system in place like the absurd Diablo hard mode? (it is fun to watch people who pour days into a character get absolutely crushed when they die!) Or we can go back in time to having "lives" or "chances," where you only have a few deaths to g...
I still don't buy how the experienced player can keep calling the game "EASY!". Thats like a brain surgeon trolling Reddit saying his craft is easy as well.
We're confusing situations as being easy when the fact of the matter is you've just gotten better, or even mastered it.
Easy can only be a descriptive if you take a sample of players of varying skill level and most can complete a level, achievement, or goal without prior experience. ...
Aaaaaannnd the first reply nukes that 1/2 baked theory out of the water.

It's ok, no need to thank me.
You're still confusing experience for easy.
Brain surgery is easy (for someone who has put in hundreds and thousands of hours of training into their craft).
If you have put in hundreds of hours into Dark Souls (Like I have as well as most of you), that experience shows. Now look back to when you first started playing. I had my ass KICKED by the Taurus demon. Multiple times. Once I figured out I could use a technique that I learned earlier, i was able to m...
Hey look, Admiral & Captain Hindsight are giving their opinions!
This is why the "Its not even that hard" argument is bullshit. The game is ABSURDLY hard, until you gain the EXPERIENCE. Once you do, its possible to SL 1 the entire game.
Or you can be a total wuss and read FAQs, guides, and use the BB glitch, then its STUPID easy.
No, you're worse. I'd have more respect for someone who stepped up and said, "All right! Halo! I love the series and can't wait for the 4th one!" than for someone who is swayed one way or the other based the trivial speculations and ramblings of some blogger.
If English isn't your primary language, make that known. People will either give you a wider berth in interpretation or be outright assholes, but at least you'll get a discussion instead o...
Wild speculation on a description of a skill is driving your desire to purchase this game? And not... oh... because its Halo? Because MC is back?
Odd...
Game of the Generation award?
Game of the Year 2011 AND 2012?
Yep.
Meh.
He's been reporting on Dark Souls, a game that I'm interested in, while nobody else is. He's been using facts and not wild speculation or editorial, so he's ok in my books.
My SL 2 Darkwraith earned every piece of "high end" gear she has (+5 Upgraded Pyro, +5 lightning weps, +5 chaos wep) without BB glitching. If you earn it, then you should be able to wield it.
Its for campers more than anything. Watching the vids last week, there is a noticeable lag on when a guy pops up (even across the map) and when the finder locks onto them. It also cuts off a good 25%-33% of your screen around the edges.
It will have situational uses.
*sigh*
Yes, PCs are more powerful, if you
1) Know what you're doing
2) Have the time to make modifications
3) Have the money to start with a good system, and then more to upgrade later
The problem with PC gamers is this : You are Hobbyists. That means you are not "mainstream," which also means that you are NOT the target demographic for the big publishers.
Think of it this way...
Car companies mak...
So... are you saying Panda Mist will be 9-9.5, or WoW in its entirety will be 9-9.5, I'm confused.
While I personally don't think its the best MMO ever, it is historical & important for what it did for the genre and gaming in general. Every MMO out there works on the same formula, WoW took it, refined it, made it its bitch, and made tons of money.
And regarding your Greater Than usage...
Yo, Prime & Far, I'm really happy f...
It wasn't neglect, or mis-use... I literally got the unit, the face buttons were wonky (not responsive, off-center from the sensors underneath), so I took it back. Then I got a 2nd one. Same thing. Returned, never looked back. I also wasn't happy with load times, but thats minor I guess.
Tried a Vita demo unit, waited 5 minutes (slight exaggeration) to get through loading screens & menus to try Wipeout, put it down after a minute, just not my game. The load time ...
If I didn't have such a bad PSP experience (hardware problems with 2 units), then I would agree with you. I'm VERY wary of giving the Vita a shot.
Good luck camping with all the anti-camp perks/equipement... Hell, Ghost betrays you if you stay in one spot.
If a Souls game comes out for the Vita... I may have to bite the bullet and pick it up...
As long as it isn't the same quality level as the Black Ops Vita version!
What innovation were you expecting? Run, Aim, Shoot. Or Hide, Aim, Shoot. Or just Run & Shoot.
The same mechanics are in all FPS. How is it going to differ from one year, one game to the next?
What do you all want out of the CoD franchise?!?!? Specifics please....
Good points.
If they did Zombies stand alone, then they should break the entire game down and sell each part independently. $20 for zombies, $20 for campaign, $20 for multiplayer.
Then we would see with sales what people play the most.
