"patches should be free!"
that the jest i get from most of you. one thing sony and MS do not own is a cable infrastructure that spans the entire globe , offering you internet. they get charged for it just like you and i. do you know how much bandwidth they suck up a month? are they supposed to let people using their closed systems to have a free tab to run up this cost of theirs? of course not. (admittedly i imagine 40k is an inflated figure.) for example: COD blops has 10m...
well considering the little amount of work it would take to port the xbox version to pc, i can see them doing it.
you may be right though. im not sure if from software has ever made a pc game. it may be a bit intimidating for them.
if this does happen and they optimize this for a 64bit DX11 machine, i will buy it again. add in mod support and it will be around for years and years.
i do not think it is games themselves that conditions children to be assholes, its the online experience. these kids repeat and imitate the older peers they have in their online communities.
as others have said, better enforcement of esrb ratings at point of purchase is the best way to combat children being exposed to these online communities that preach racism and sexism.
parents can also be proactive in the content they purchase for their kids, but we know...
alot of you seem to have not read the entire name of the article. its "Legendary Developers Pick Their Favorite Games of 2011" NOT "author of article picks legendary devs".
why no kojima? mebe he never returns the authors emails. is the author supposed to guess at his picks and make up a response? i hear miyamoto doesnt get out of bed for less than a million yen, you expect him to give a shit about answering some websites questions? that is why they are ...
this authors bio, "Cut his teeth on a 2600, got a Sega Master System for his 7th birthday blah blah blah " leads you to believe he is knowledgeable about games. but this line is completely wrong:
"While on the topic of people doing jobs they’re not meant to do, would it have made sense for Bungie to suddenly shift gears and become a RTS developer to create Halo Wars?"
yes it would make sense. a simple check on bungies wiki page , or mo...
you always have to be online to play WOW, or any other mmo, so is that online drm as well? darkspore is no different.
they save your account to THEIR servers. otherwise you would have had hacks on launch day. what fun would an online game be when you have people 1 hit killing everything or just pressing one button to kill everything on the entire level? what would PVP be like?
this does not excuse an online game being down for this long without being repaire...
a new ip from nis? cant wait to see more on this.
got my copy preordered and cannot wait to play it! i hope its ALOT more successful than the first game with its updated graphics and smoother flowing gameplay. if anyone deserves success its gust. i wonder what they are working on now that meruru has been finished for a while?
MS wants a game offering service on windows platform. they tried "games for windows live" and it failed. they have a successful, much praised, online game community already established with the xbox live brand. common sense says to expand it to windows. this does not mean it has to includes playing xbox game dvds.
yeah it certainly looks like the 40k universe. lets hope they nail the gameplay and narrative too.
no myth or homeworld <<
mebe i am the only one that likes them. myth for the focus on combat with no resource gathering, great online with bungie.net, and great mod community. homeworld for the epic 3d space battles. good times.
such fond memories of the early days of SWG. walking out and planting a house right next to town with all my friends, people running around with 3 pet rancors, LOVING the awesome character creation tools that allowed me to make a very fat bothan. sadly i never even made it to the NGE patch. not really sure what that even did to piss so many off. i quit after i couldnt get online for a while and all my stuff decayed ><
They are biowaring this game right from rpg to action game. when its released all the "hard core rpg fans" will praise it and shower it with 10/10, who cares if the only stats are attack and def, and there is not a single shred of text to read anywhere about the great world they have taken a year+ to create.
meanwhile games that are actual rpgs, and have things like stats, will be destroyed in the reviews. totori will get a 4/10, guaranteed. wrpgs are crap compared ...
i was being sarcastic in my comment yet got 3 agrees and ZERO disagrees. this in itself is reason enough to believe we are doomed as a species.
wonder if kinect will scan my living room for what things i have then customize advertisements to fit my lifestyle. i cannot wait. take my money now.
connectivity between the psv and ps3 will be awesome. problem is not many devs utilising that functionality as not many will own both systems.
wii u on the other hand , 100% of the people that own it will be using this setup. every dev making a game will be taking this into account , not just the ones that think its worth it for people who own 2 systems.
i guess time will tell how well utilised the connectivity between vita and ps3 is used, and how well such...
bayou billy? talk about impossible driving sequences. that game made me pull hair. i still never beat castelevania, faced dracula many times though. the nes was truly the golden age of gaming where half the games i put in my magic box were not beatable. today? i can beat any game i put into my machine. syaing "i beat XXX game" actually used to mean something.
sad what gaming has become. i guess that is to be expected when they are appealing to the mass market that lose...
well nice attempt to differentiate the 2 games, but most will be crying "copy" way after release and try to rip the game apart regardless of anything it has to offer.
im just hoping for a decent story and progression.
you hit the nail on the head. most casuals hate it. guess who buys most games? guess who is the majority in gaming now? guess who developers make games for nowadays?
i laugh at the fact most shooters do not even have team damage enabled by default. how realistic is that? imagine the tactical style of play that would come with having to plan your assault around not being in cross fire from friendly units?
the whole move toward auto regenerating health is what ...
