From a studio we've never heard of lol!
I like media that isn't always straight forward or that has many layers that can be unpacked as it were. Whether film or games.
That's not to say I don't like "mainstream " media because I do ! I just think it's good for talented people who aren't afraid of going their own way and buck the norms.
This game is literally my cup of tea because I do love to stop and smell the roses in well crafted open worlds. I'm playing thr...
I've read two in depth reviews and trust me there's challenges. Some come from the harsh environments, some comes from planning out what to take, what packages to deliver etc and from the Mules , the BT's, Cliff(possibly) the time fall and Higg's and his men.
So the narrative that the only challenge is boredom is pretty easily debunked.
Very true because the types of quality titles ONLY available on PlayStation is why the brand is number one in the industry.
Exclusives matter and help differentiate your console and creates interest in the brand.
But is it really?!?! I mean the positive reviews out number the mixed and negative reviews combined quite handily. To me it's not so much a mixed bag as lots of folks seem to like it bag!
With that said if a person needs reviews to validate their choice in games they are really missing the point.
Some of my fav games that I love could be torn apart if I wanted to be a dick. I mean you could find fault in Citizen Kane but again you're missing the...
There was an article yesterday asking "why PS4 beat Xbox so decidedly this gen and it's the freaking games.
I've never understood the "exclusives don't matter " because they do. It's like only allowing yourself a certain amount of cool shit you like. Why not go with the one that has the cool shit everyone else has but also creates their own cool shit. It's not rocket science just denial!
I guess the main takeaway is that Kojima chose Sony and Sony in turn welcomed Kojima. They freaking let him have his pick of their top Studios game engines!
They also gave him free reign to go and create what he wanted. Oh and they also let it come to PC. Seems like you should be happy at how they handled this because the industry would be better if more big companies got out of their own way!
Not just exclusively, that was just an example and I figured that was obvious. Also that is why a lot of folks bailed in 2013. The context needed for that decision to leave Xbox was being old enough to know when the brand was much better. With the compelling games becoming scarce combined with the way they wanted to take the industry it's a no brainer! To have been there for the OG Xbox and great early 360 years only to see it become what it's become.
They showed t...
Is it really that hard to understand though?!?! I mean for me at least and I'd imagine more feel this way because of the massive numbers the PS4 has seen and still sells at normal prices, is the awesome games. You get the big third party titles plus most indies and the incredible exclusives from Sony's first and second party devs. It's not brain science.
I can see how a younger person may not grasp this because you only know what you've experienced or seen a...
All that keeps coming to mind I see I cannot wait to play this! With that said I keep seeing "man these reviews are all over the place" but just a few hours ago it broke down like this.....
57 positive, 15 mixed and 1 negative. Seems like it's leaning more towards positive to me. Not that that really matters because at the end of the day this is all subjective but again it seems there's more that found enjoyment with DS than not!
I did r...
I feel ya and to me after reading a few reviews I feel it's a game we really need now. The positive reinforcement, the kindness that is shown in how each player can help one another. I like that but it seems this game will require a lot of patience and in today's world that's hard for some people. So I completely understand that aspect of it.
When it comes to well crafted game worlds especially open ones where you can go anywhere, I love to just explore so DS is...
Death Stranding Baaabyyy(in my best Adam Cole voice) really cannot wait till next Friday! I need to traverse this world!
Also this really seems to be a different kind of animal, which to me should really be getting people excited. The reason being is that the word "innovative" is thrown around here like a hot cake! That was a knock against Days Gone(not innovative enough) and here we have a game that looks pretty innovative but now the criticism for some has flipp...
The PS3 (well the games that it had) is what reinvigorated my love of gaming. No one else was doing the narrative driven games like Sony and if not for the PS3 I may not be gaming now!
I remember the first time I heard about Sony's new upcoming console called PlayStation. At the time I was eagerly awaiting any news I could get on the Ultra 64 as it wasn't called at that time. I was a huge Nintendo fan and I must say I didn't think the PS1 would really make a splash. I mean this was the time the Jaguar and 3DO were out and they weren't faring too good as far as market share. I did play and enjoy some of 3DO's live action games. I remember one that had thi...
Good point and yes I completely understand why the big boys do it but just doing something for the sake of greed doesn't sound like something that will lead to great things.
It almost sounds like there's a lesson in there for us to learn!
It's just you! Nah I'm just kidding because obviously people aren't gonna enjoy the same things but I'm excited for it.
Also even if you have no interest in playing it you should be glad some companies take chances and allow creative people to be creative. Because it could just be cookie cutter all day long or the infamous micro managing.
New genres and sub genres are always great because the industry grows. There's plenty of more &quo...
Yes it ruins game design. Because fun isn't the priority, money is. There's absolutely nothing wrong with expecting a return for a product you've put time and effort into but this cancerous practices are a different animal all together!
It's funny to me because instead of playing a game that a development team created, you just spend cold hard cash and get what you used to get by, wait for it..... playing the game!
Free to play games are w...
"Holy shit" that's what comes to mind after watching that! God the level of detail is astounding and the landscapes are beautiful even the dilapidated areas look amazing. Looks like I'll have a whole new game world to explore. I also love the creature designs.
As for the plot, I know next to little about it and that's gonna be the case until November 8th!
Awesome news! Loved the original and so glad that it saw a release because it had a very troubling development cycle. Anywho we have yet another awesome game coming to PS4. With TLOU2, Nioh 2, Death Stranding, Ghosts etc I call that going out in style!
Gotta admit this is the 1st COD I'm buying since Infinate Warfare(mostly for Modern Warfare Remaster lol) but I'm excited! It looks great and I live this story and I want to see what they've added and how it stands up to the original.
