There's no comparison. NG wasn't so much about the storyline as it was about the combat. MGS is mostly about the storyline. That's what I love about the series.

True feel.

This "game" is such a freaking scam.

So, you and a bunch of people start off with a cube and pick axes. You upgrade your pickaxes by paying REAL MONEY and when you get to the core of the cube, the only thing that can break it is a diamond pickaxe, which can be bought for 50,000 pounds (around US$75,000). What. The. Shit.

I'm not making this up...

You do realize that Watchdogs was running on a PC, right?

@Dark360

So the moral of the story is, sales = better game.

Enjoy your pathetic excuse for "games" on the Kinect. I don't particularly care about the Move either but I can tell a superior game (Sorcery) when I see one.

How is this a cool opinion piece when the author has some crucial facts WRONG?

Bioware is NOT changing the ending. It is providing supplementary material for the ending it already gave us. Nothing has changed. Many fans are still pissed. Others are cautious and wishing that the ending at least explains some of its retardedness - but they still believe that the ending itself is crappy, especially for a game built upon the idea of gamer agency.

Kojima said it best that games are great BECAUSE they aspire to please the majority not because they're a vehicle for the artistic ideas of the developers.

Now, games may coincidentally be artistic and appease their consumers but the fact is, that is not why most games are developed, especially when a game's entire shtick is that your decisions matter (e.g. in Mass Effect).

To the guy saying "fans are not great developers" - well guess what?...

I dunno because she still looks like Ellen Page to me. If the attitude is similar to how Ellen was like in Juno, then I'm more hyped for this game.

I'd say the "stupid" title would then belong to the parents. If parents don't want their kids to become hooligans and chavs, they should do more parenting, which includes being knowledgeable about what they buy for their kids.

The major problem with Metacritic is how it weighs scores from different websites. It gives more weight to more popular websites. It skews scores that should not be skewed. A 3/5 given on X-Play is not the same as 60% because the entire rating scale system is different. Some websites that are popular but have an outlying score are still counted and their scores are still given undue importance when compared to less famous and less well known websites.

IMDB is good because it ...

If D3 gets plagued by dupers, then buyers beware, because the incentive is even more now for dupers to take advantage of this and cash out.

Crap probably won't sell after a few months, though, because people who are willing to spend a buttload of money are probably going to be looking on eBay to get fully loaded accounts for discounted prices instead of buying mats and moderate level items.

I hate it when games become pay to win...

PvP is going to suck if you're not loaded and you've got more money than neurons.

Manny Calavera being on the list makes me so giddy! They really need to remake Grim Fandango so that more people can experience its awesomeness.

Magic is highly overpowered in Skyrim??? Try leveling up and then using spells. Spell damage does not level with you and the master level spells are too costly, both in terms of casting time and MP - and even then, they're not spectacular.

What is overpowered is sneak.

VI has the best story, the best villain, and the best soundtrack. Gameplay wise, the original VI is one of the buggiest games ever due to many things not functioning correctly (e.g. bugged evade and don't even try Relm's sketch command if you got the 1.0 version of the game!). I also didn't like how everyone could learn magic in the game, making only a handful of characters really unique when it came to gameplay, with most being duplicates of each other and only differing in stats...

Actually, I'd say that's pretty bad...

I was really hoping for a new, epic narrative that Diablo games are known for. The dark fantasy of Diablo is something that most definitely adds to the game.

In this intro, all we get to see is that old heroes are gone and now we get to play as the replacements. I liked Torchlight 1 but I've only played it once as the narrative was poor. I was hoping that they'd bump up their game with Torchlight 2 but it...

The "cry baby gamers" have a point, though.

This guy waits until Assassin's Creed is a cultural phenomenon (yes, it is) to file a lawsuit so that he can hit maximum paydirt. Why did he not do so when the first game came out 5 years ago?

And his "original" idea was already in book form in the early 80s. Does that not sound hypocritical that he built on (if not outright copied) the idea of genetic memory from another author and then has ...
