There's so much more to souls games than the difficulty. It's the things you said were failures. Gameplay and story (well, lore. Not story. I agree the series needs a great story because both DeS and DaS don't really have one)
The combat system is one of the best in any genre. Multiplayer mechanics are interesting and fun. And following the lore by gathering bits of info here and there is one of the best ways to do it. If you don't like it it's all right. But don...
I'm usually not trusting reviews by big websites because they will most to be biased. User reviews are more important but will most likely never make a decision for me (except with basement rush. It looked like a good game to play with friends but now it seems like it's crap)
Only single reviewer I trust is angry joe...
CAN violent games cause violence? Yes. CAN movies cause violence? Yes. But in such a small scale it's ridiculous to blame them for everything. And usually it's not even games alone. There's the possible mental problems, parenting etc. So much other factors that get overlooked when people find out the person that did something played games. It's stupid.
Exactly this. If MS would've made GWG like PS+ it would have better games because they can't afford GIVING great new games for free. If they'd "rent" it like with PS+ they'd have more options.
You know people... If you wouldn't reply to trolls they wouldn't take half of the comment section. It'd be nice to see you know... Actual opinions on the article
I hope the karma choices are better though. In past games the karma choices are bland and obvious. Do you want to blow up the enemy camp so it'll be easier to take out the rest of the enemies? But there are civilians in there. Blowing them up will kill the civs. Of course you'll choose the one that'll fit what you want to play as for this playthrough.
You do know it's not their fault this game is being censored right?
Hopefully it's harder than survivor AND reduces checkpoints... I think that even the survivor difficulty was way too easy.
But the important part - MP stuff: Hope it's new gamemode(s) along with maps and such.
Titanfall is just one game. It isn't going to sell millions of consoles. Not even half of it. And then when that one game is on 3 other platforms too it isn't probably going to sell even that 100k consoles.
If games with gold wouldn't be such an obvious attempt of competition with PS+ this would be ok. (I mean free stuff! Why not?)
Buuuut... Since it IS an obvious attempt at competing with PS+ it's kind of... Well... Almost worthless. Even though it's a good game it's still 6 years old.
Even though someone would enjoy asymmetrical sticks more it's probably not worth it to ditch so many other features for that. If there would be a perfect copy of DS4 with asymmetrical sticks everyone would be happy.
I think the difficulty of souls games is way exagerated. Overall the game isn't that difficult aside from few areas and bosses and if DSII gets advertised as being really hard it might do more harm than good for sales as it might turn off some players.
And a bad one.
You know what's funny? Watch dogs and destiny will most likely look and play better on PS4
Hah, good one
Kidding me? Elop took Nokia down FOR MS. Like OrangePowerz said. He completely destroyed Nokia. It cost almost 15k jobs for finns just because MS needed another way to milk more cash from consumers.
It's stupid how fanboys keep defending a company like that.
I'm not wishing that MS goes bankrupt (because that would cost even more jobs) but I just wish that the ones who pull the strings get replaced. And I hope that xbox division does get sold so maybe that'll bring...
It's ok to give port of a 3 year old game because it's a new console. They can't go and give games like KZ or BF4. They wouldn't have to give anything at all on PS4 because it just came out. So be happy that you get anything at all. On top of that it's an awesome game. If they add 4 players I'd buy it even though I could get it for free just to support housemarque. Because they are just that awesome
So you haven't played this with friends
I have really lost all respect to MS. What they did to Nokia and what they tried with xbox one were just so greedy. I don't want the company to get bankrupt though. That would cost way too many jobs. I just wish some of the people pulling the strings would get replaced with others that don't try so hard to get every cent from customers.
And worst thing is that they seem to get away with anything they do. All the controversies they have seem to get forgotten quickly.
You forgot blindfolded
