Yeah, the MoH reboot took great pains to honor the troops, and at least in a narrative sense, seemed a lot more realistic than CoD. Then again, MoH was based on Operation Anaconda of the Afghanistan war while CoD takes its cue from Hollywood action flicks.
Thanks, Dave Mull!
Interesting connection.
Shit, I've been naughty.
Love this series! It gives me this tingling feeling.
Dear god do I hate grinding.
Great article.
Nintendo needs to get its act together.
This is a story that refuses to die and with good reason.
Good review, Rob.
Good stuff.
Hooray for the cartoon Mouse!
Curious what evidence you have that Dan Hsu was "bought off" from Sony other than the observation that he criticized the Wii U (and not even the system, itself, but Nintendo's design and strategic vision for it).
A lot of hardcore gamers *were* against it, and they by and large stayed away. The Wii owes its success to casual gamers. But now Nintendo needs hardcore gamers back, and they've done little to entice them to spend $300 for a new console.
Great stuff, Shoe. I think Nintendo has made a grievous error in trying to straddle the fence between casual and hardcore. I can't see the casuals ponying up for a new console so soon, and there's little for core gamers but ports.
Where else will I go to window shop over lunch hour??
Games journalism doesn't have integrity? Surely you must be kidding.
Diversity, fuck yeah!
I tend to appreciate "smaller" games more so these days than titles that force you to save the world.
That TSA game sounds like one of those twisted Japanese hentai games.
