He had good article material but failed to deliver and elaborate. I did actually get his point, seeing games like Machinarium, Braid, etc really did tickle my interest to a much bigger extent than the 150th Final Fantasy or yet another generic near-future fps clone.
Still, some games like God of War that you mentioned, did take a step forward in utilizing the hardware as it should be used. But 90% of the industry didn't, the current cash formula is too precious to add in ...
I hope you'll die a gruesome burning death caused by starcraft 2 overheating your pc for spouting that crap. There's being a troll and there's being an asshole. The guy rocked, wasn't cocky or anything.
And CS is still on top for a reason - new fps's suck donkey ass, my grandma could own most of them. The gaming gods fart upon new games, that's why a fan-made mod from 10 years ago is still the best.
They lost my "hardcore support" with releasing ps3 and bashing all it should've been. No bc, no next-gen graphics ('cept for killzone 2), no nothing. It only does money grabs. Totally disappointed with this generation and sony's awkward no-bc move. If a console can't run the games of the past generation, it's no good, period. I didn't spend countless cash on building a ps2 game library just so I could stack a warehouse of consoles to play both generation game...
you're making it sound like only nes games had that gamepad-crushin diff.
Now that is not true, a lot of games continued the difficulty trend, the freshest example I can think of is Shinobi on PS2. Give it a go, see how many family members you'll kill because of it :)
Games nowadays are for GIRLS. they're obviously the targeted market, and not just any kind of girls, newbie girls, that just turned on a game for the first time. And bam completed it with min...
and its glorious 8 hours of gameplay.
IS KEEPING HIM ALIVE, KILL IT!
*edit* Hahah, the picture comment also says virgin blood drinker. That settles it then. We have to deflorate all the virgins in japan asap.
hahhahahah, best explanation ever. I'm also not sure why exactly have they been developing it, other than harassing gamers' nerve chords. All advertisement is good advertisement, they say, maybe it's just that.
Please. I love the series so much, and the crap they're doing with it recently is killing me.(haven't played the latest title but the trailer told me everything, it became.. something that SquareEnix would put out, with over-the-whole-screen mechas)
Let alone the Tekken 3 arcade/original soundtrack by Namco Sound Team, they remain one of the critical soundtracks in history of gaming, at least for me. Late 90's were the golden years of the Sound Team, and it made N...
between gamers and the industry has led to this. It's not M$, it's not Rare, they're all just small parts of the big aparatus that is game industry. It grew over the years, technology and new shaders polished it's shoes, gamers gave it a green light and big sums of money came into play. End of story.
Gamers are as guilty as the evil greedy CEO's, because games that started to really underdeliver were being bought in large numbers instead of boycotting/ign...
for retarded gamers. Put them in a lunatic room isolated with rubber and they'll still crash n bash something because they're unable to move properly. so don't blame the accessories. many consoles died due to cabled controllers as well.
Epic hasn't done shit since that game, and will never succeed to top it.
great comment.
well look at it like this. At least he's not an early 80's action flick rip-off like Snake. That came out sounding bad, did it? Well so did your witty comment.
Oh and I'm referring to Snake Plissken, for all those wondering what the hell I'm babbling about :)
Seeing Raiden stop a zillion tons heavy battleship almost made me rip the game out of the ps3 without touching the eject button.
I frankly got no idea how can a relatively realistic playable character be THAT MUCH worse than a non-playable super saiyajin ninja robocop without a lower jaw.
In mgs2, when you played with Raiden, the motherfunking graphics got a LEVEL UP, and became BETTER. that was an anthological moment in gaming, at least for me, never seen be...
It's not a sim, never was.
No damage is first and foremost.
Second, you can pass a car by sractching the hell out of it and bumpin off of it speeds you up.
Don't get me wrong, GT has, and always had a special place in my book, but I always thought of it as a hardcore racing game, it's nowhere near a simulator, let alone "REAL RACING SIMULATOR" they've been yapping about forever.
May be hard to accept, but it...
A creative approach among the sea of dull articles in this summer.
True as well. Still, as EckoAmpua above me said, games are in the end - games. We all know how many simulators are out there, and for good reason. Only the hardest at the core take pleasure in camping for 15 minutes straight to get that single sniper shot, the other go meh after 5 seconds and 2 deaths and uninstall the game.
The biggest names in the genre are downright silly when you put them ...
You have a point there, sure thing. My highest respect these days goes to Guerilla for creating Killzone 2 (and 3 now), those guys really kicked the sh*t out of ps3 and made what I think of as the only "next-gen" game out of all the games so far. 5 years of hardcore coding with high risk of the game failing due to strong competition and the ever-chaning taste in shooters.
Still, you have to take in mind that some of those "pirates" are artists, developers,...
Yeah, dlc's just got people more pissed off. You used to have expansion packs back in the days, with something that would go BANG for the buck you gave em. Nowadays it's just silly chunks of megabytes put together to get the extra cent from kids who think it's something special until they buy it and go meh.
I mean, how hard is it to realize that if you lower the price, more people will buy the product and you as a studio/publisher will have MORE money than you cou...
Lower the general price on everything by some 30% and you'll see how mad the sales will go up. PS3 games in my country cost a 100$ each, and our standard salary is what, 600 bucks? Nice one, especially when your kid is nagging and crying about a new game and you don't have the heart to tell him you don't have the money for it.
Anywho, that's country-specific, I know. But the point stands - piracy is present because of the industry, it's their fault and the...
Man. Not a single "top" game on the list.
Sorry if I sound harsh but it is as it is.
You kinda got on the wrong foot in the start, such article titles only brings you under the hammer for bashing :)
Fallout 3 looks like a mod of Oblivion (because it is), and it's about 10.000 feet below Fallout 1 & 2 in all areas.
LBP is good, but a hybrid of already seen stuff. Trackmania meets Mario online, to be short.
