In my opinion it was not. I think the combat sucked, there was not much enemy variety, and it did NOT follow the source material at all.
The thing is, Activision makes HUGE money from about 3 different games every year. And they will not be hurt by you boycotting a game, but the developer will. If the developer does not make money, Activision will drop them, but still keep going.
Need to read the article.
Really wish I skipped Dante's Inferno. What crap.
Like I said above, my one character used sword and shield. I leveled block in the Arena for a couple of rounds and I am only ever hit, at worst, one-tenth of the time, but when I do block, the enemy aways recoils, allowing me to get in 2, sometimes 3 hits. I always win. Game is so broken.
Also, with a little speed, you can literally run through the game, past all enemies except whom is necessary. You don't need to fight any baddies in the towers, you just need to run and ...
To people complaining about Morrowind's Combat-
All you have to do to hit them is level up. Once you are level 3-5, you hit your opponent 75% of the time.
It is not like Oblivion's combat was any good, by the way. All you had to do was block an attack with a shield and then swing your sword because the opponent was knocked back by the block. The combat of Oblivion is very flawed and easy to beat.
I am sure the developers meant that Sony puts no restrictions on what ND can or can not do with their game, story-wise, gameplay, etc. This is of course always a good thing to here, that they have creative freedom.
In fact, that is all I heard.
Of course PS3 is limited in its power, just like any other system. People who are saying "yea, PS3 is mad beast" didn't watch video or don't know what they are talking about.
I honestly hope MS choose to use Blu-Ray. Just think how large next-gen textures and graphics will be memory-wise...
They can get by fine with DVD this gen, but I do not se how they could not change their stratgey next gen..
Unless they come up with some insanely new digital distribution system where you can download a game at maximum speed for your internet connection and massive HDDs, I do not see how they cannot move to a new format..
Digital Foundry is fully satisfied with both consoles. They are tech freaks who look into how the consoles differ, though, because they are both based on different firmware/hardware, etc.
They are not trying to say which one is better (they pretty much agree that they are nearly identical, on a technical level, besides blu-ray) and compare and contrast how different developers meet hurdles in game development on both consoles.
No, they are not here to perpetu...
I hope like 4 DVDs, honestly, I don't care about changing discs.
People who are fanboys maybe?
Question: How are you supposed to traverse the worlds in these games for Move/Kinect? Walk in place? How about running? ug, I just want to sit thinking about it.
How is an opinion piece supposed to be objective, @winter?
Sp judging by your idiocy...
I don't see how getting more people into gaming is a bane to the industry, as so-called 'core' gamers proclaim. The WII has MANY core titles and it is practically centered around the idea of family-friendly gaming.
More power to the people who once could not game, yet now can.
This is News for Fanboi's dude, welcome to it.
Fuck my wallet. I would be interested in buying every game on that list. Seriously, fuck my wallet.
Well at least to can compare it to MS's numbers when they get released because, you know, MS actually releases sales numbers.
You know, you could actually read about how they estimate their numbers instead of just saying they follow what Pachter says, which is untrue. They actually call up chains to see how much they sold, scour internet sales sites, and the such. Not much different than NPD.
It is just an estimate, take it for what it is.
Finally, some real games (UC, TES, ME) taking November back from that PoS COD.
The guy doesn't want the game on this set of consoles because of 'teh pieece of cr4p XBOX'.
Well, I say put it on this generation of consoles because they are tried and true. Developers know the technology, they are building a new engine based on some old assets that should really push (and probably break) both consoles. It should look good and be much better than Oblivion.
If they were to put it on a new generation of consoles, they would have to...
What are people disagreeing with me for?
Naughty Dog said they have complete creative freedom under Sony, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.
No, they are not saying the PS3 has unlimited power, you are just hearing that.
