I agree with the sentiments in the article. The newest generation of consoles is just getting underway, and yes it is only June, but that doesnt change the fact theres not much compelling me to turn on my xb1 or ps4 at this point. The games that have been released in 2014 up to this point have been mediocre at best.
The funnest game of the new generation.
Before I jump into my preview I would like to set the tone of my preview first.
WHY
Well, at least you made it to the 2nd word in the title before having a typo. Much better than having one right off the bat.
Me too! The fighting could be repetitive and the graphics werent top notch, but the story and setting was always a big draw for me. I really hope they bring some of more recent installments to the west.
Agreed!
@XiSasukeUchiha- thanks for restating the articles title and posting it as a comment. Youve helped me, and likely everyone who comes to this thread, much needed aditional insight.
Excited for this one!
Xbox/MS isnt going anywhere, get over it. That being said, I'm excited for the PS TV so I can play some of those niche rpg's on a big screen.
On another note, I cant wrap my head around why people (consumers here at N4G) get giddy with the idea of seeing competition eliminated. I guess we should just go back to being forced to use memory cards and controllers that exclusivley have d-pads.
It looks cool and all but I dunno COD, BF, KZ... doesnt seem to really matter what they do, I'm just honestly burned out on FPSs anymore. Lets make room for some rpg's, platformers, puzzlers, whatever. I just can't get excited for an FPS anymore since we've been brow beaten with one of the major FPS titles hitting shelves on what seems to be a 6-8 month rotation for years now
Agreed, we've had enough cross overs and guest appearances the last several years. We're over due for a pure MK game.
Yes!
Lol, that sucks.
@ NewMonday, I'm not a dedicated Xbone fan ( I have PS4 and play PC) but I actually agree with that sentiment. Although indies for all intents can be exclusives, I've always seen them as sort of an "extra" for the systems. I didnt wait 8 years for new consoles to play games that offer a similar experience to what I can have on my Iphone.
Remember the final fantasy games people used to get excited for? Go back to making games like that instead of trying to make the game more appealing to those with no interest in the genre. Its not that hard. They could start by making RPG's again by way of providing a memorable story, some exploration elements, and offering a challenge. RPG players dont want their hands held, yet every iteration since 10 (I cant speak to XII, I never had the chance to play it) has been on rails. The games...
Blasphemy! The truth is liable to have you burned at the stake around here
This wont be enough for the PC crowd. Now it'll need to be a strong multi-racial transgender albeit gender neutral human single parent atheist in order for them to stfu.
Awesome looking panoramas! Bummed I didnt get an alpha access code. I know it was luck of the draw and all but yea.. I've had the game preordered since july of 13'. Throw me a freakin bone here!
lol good angle, i never even considered the mech apeal.
Yea, very true XiSasukeUchiha. Since there arent any JRPG's, or any RPG's for that matter, on the X1 yet, I feel like it would have been a better choice to bundle something like Dead Rising 3 or Forza over an FPS for an eastern market.
Oh, you mean you went to a convention to experience it for yourself and had a good time? You mean gaming isnt filled with sex deprived rapist male pigs? Gee, what a concept. Good job on carrying your own stuff, thats cool I guess. Did you have to pay for your own drinks too?
Sorry people make you uncomfortable at times, sadly everyone can feel uncomfortable regardless of their sex or the sex/sexual orientation of those around them. It doesnt have anything to do with being ...
