Lay the franchise to rest! It's balls without Shinji Mikami.
I don't know whether to agree or disagree because I don't know which part to do it on.
For me it's mostly the art direction that puts me off and the fact that because it's MMO it's probably gonna have a silly story just like WoW which has a great lore, but the in-game writing is just stupid.
I agree because I think Destiniy looks like a bigger-scale version of Borderlands. I'm not excited at all.
Mario games are always interesting no matter how old I am, but the concept of 3D World is just not original or intriguing. I already played 3D Land and it was good but not AWESOME like Galaxy was and to see 3D World end up as the main console Mario game is the reason I haven't bought either a Wii U or the game itself yet.
Even my Laptop that runs games like Arkham Asylum in 60fps with full settings can't even run a game like WoW at stable 60fps. It's more like 40-60fps most of the time.
Yeah but we still all remember how awesome Crash Bandicoot is.
Not really. If Wii U had that one game EVERYBODY just wanted people would buy it, and I'm mostly referring to mainstream gamers. For one the system doesn't come with a game like Wii Sports that's simple family-fun and has lots of short-burst party potential.
Wii U just isn't the 'fun for everyone' console the Wii was and that severely hurts it.
Hardcore gamers including myself are cautious and holding on to our money until there is som...
Wow I just read it. So basically they ARE streamlining it. The 4 races are basically 4 characters since the only thing we can alter is their body-types but their faces will only have 4 presets as a result, and we can do NOTHING to change that.
Lame. Bioware stop lying and pretending we get true RPG experiences when you keep trying to cut down on it. This is a MASSIVE dissapointment already. It's gonna ruin so much replayability in my case.
Are you for real? They've removed facial customization!?
I think despite them saying they try to go back to roots that this game will still feel like its own thing and not "DA Origins 2" like some wish it to be. I've learned from the past to not hype Bioware games too much. I didn't know how much they cut down on Dialogue options with Mass Effect 3 before the demo came out for example and as a result I was MASSIVELY disappointed with the full game to see there was SO MUCH autodialogue and so many choices were ignored.
Consider that the second Disney decided to move on from Mickey Mouse they started hosting lame-ass sitcoms with actors who wear makeup like porn-actors.
I wouldn't wish for Nintendo to drop everything they were known for just yet, or anytime soon.
Lol. "The combat window was too narrow". Are you actually complaining that the combat was troublesome? Omg, you must be one of those who want games to play themselves. If anything I felt the controls in ALBW made the game a tad too easy.
Hopefully nothing is next for that franchise. I don't need a shitty action-sequel to a game with such as a mess of a story that was Beyond Two Souls. Heavy Rain was so much better in execution. I don't understand David Cage's intent with half of the subplots of Beyond at all. Was it just to add more "Emotion!" to everything. Does he recognize the word "forced"?
The fact that every video game is a result of creative people putting in their finnicky and quirky ideas for game design and such makes it art IMO.
My main argument is always that if the big epic summer blockbuster is considered to be art, then games are also art... ALL of them even Peggle and Pac Man and just as much as any book with a fictional story is art.
And we're pretty sure you're in over your head by even interrupting in a spec discussion like this.
Imagine that dog coming up with photoreal graphics and the framerate goes to shit. It would turn the most annoying "assist" trophy into the MORE than most annoying assist trophy.
Nintendo already said they'd reveal some more Zelda U at E3 this year. I see the musical as a further indication that we might see more Zelda this year, especially since it's in July, shortly after E3.
I'm hoping 2014 will be a good year for the franchise :-D
Don't mind if it's gritty or cartoony... just not bland like Skyward Sword aesthetically and hopefully not as anime with its characters, ergo NO Hidemaro Fujimayashi being the directo...
I also thought maybe Reggie deliberately asked Geoff before the show to comment on his metroid/zelda badge. I think we're going to see both Metroid and Zelda in 2014
