True, but it's greedy gamers and lazy devs who are contributing to the problem.
Used games have been around since the NES (though not in such a big way). So, that can't be it. Rentals have also been around since the day of the NES, so that can't be it, either. And console games are difficult to pirate, so it can't simply be piracy, either.
IMO, it's developers who give gamers every reason to return a game by giving us a 5-hour campaign and...
You'd get Achievement points for that move.
Yeah. Japanese devs totally need new IPs. That why they've been coming out with yet another Need For Speed, yet another Halo, yet another Gears of War, yet another Call of Duty, yet another Medal of Honor, yet another Fallout, yet another Guitar Hero, and yet another Rock Band.
Ultimately, I find it funny and quite ironic that the media's biggest complaint is that PS3 gamers are somehow going to miss out on some massive portion of ME2 because they can't play ME1 on the PS3. Bioware and Microsoft both said over and over again that ME1 was not an essential experience before playing ME2.
Yes, yes, we have all been anticipating MGS:Rising on the 360 with no prior experience with the series. Yes, even though we all enjoyed Fallout 3 and Oblivion,...
Not like FF14 mattered all that much anyway. Let's be honest...
It looks sweet. Killzone 2 ended on a tense note so I'm eager to continue the storyline in KZ3.
Wow. Nice. So THAT's what accurate motion controls in a shooter look like.
So the "core audience" wants a laggy, stand-up-and-waggle-your-karat e-moves fighting game that will certainly be more simplistic than the advertisement shows (for instance, how do you walk around? Or is this on rails, too?)
I think if the core audience wanted this, they'd have purchased a Wii.
Watch Peter Molyneux demonstrate Milo.
Watch loyal fanboys trash an "interactive QTE movie" like Heavy Rain but then praise an "interactive daycare" like Milo.
I know the title is flamebait, but the article seems poorly researched. If you think Zelda is the source and cause of "glowing enemy weak points", annoying sidekicks, and dumbed-down difficulty, then you are a pretty uneducated gamer. Zelda was not the first, nor the last, to implement these features.
And are those things really ruining gaming? If anything, I think glitches, online lag, developers lying to their customers, and extravagant DLC is doing more to ruin g...
Microsoft can keep saying it over and over again, but they have yet to prove that core gamers will love it.
This kinda reminds me of Turn 10 constantly shouting DEFINITIVE!, as if gamers weren't clever enough to draw their own conclusion about which racing game was definitive.
It's "exhausted".
But I also noticed how the motions didn't quite correlate to the action on-screen. It's difficult to notice because they cut from shot to shot, downplaying the lag. But just keep your eyes open and it's obvious.
PS3 is getting so much love. It would be difficult for a 360-only gamer to honestly ignore the PS3 at this point.
They are different. One focuses on gamers and has 40+ game support, the other focuses on Justin Bieber fans and has tiger-petting support.
But what platform version are these from? Probably PC.
Because the console versions will not look quite so nice. I say that not to flame Crysis 2, but to point out that the inevitable "OMG! MULTIPLAT GAME LOOKS TEH BETTORZ THAN HALO REACH AND KILLZONE 3 COMBINED!" posts are stupid.
This smells heavily of BS.
And do you really want to spend 25 hours worth of tiger-petting?
This author is either lying or didn't play both ME1 and ME2.
I'LL SAY IT RIGHT NOW, SO PAY ATTENTION: ME2 does not require ME1 for the "full experience". Anyone who says you need an ME1 save file to "experience the full game" is exaggerating at best, and lying at worst. When it was coming to PC/360, BOTH Bioware and Microsoft said OVER AND OVER that ME2 was a complete experience and that you didn't need ME1 to enjoy it.
On top ...
But we saw how "accurate" that Star Wars game was. The Star Wars game LOOKED sweet, but it was clearly a fake. Yeah, this game looks cool (finally, a non-tiger petting game for Kinect) but I wonder how it will control?
And honestly, who wants to spin around their room doing roundhouse kicks and karate punches?
One has 40+ games supported, the other had river rafting and tiger petting.
One has accuracy, the other does not.
But hey, both have Mass Effect 2!
Y'know, I have friends who hate videogames and mock the very concept of an RPG.
Yet, they get mad when I tell them they play RPGs all the time: fantasy football and tracking stats of football, baseball, and basketball.
Sports are just a more socially-accepted form of nerdism. C'mon, you watch Cloud Strife perform attacks against Sephiroth, and you watch Michigan State score a touchdown against Purdue. What's the difference?
