No postal there?
that game was all about violence... you where actually a serial murderer...
NIIIIIICE!!!!
I liked the first game tbh. This looks promissing!!
The game does a fine job at transmiting the feeling of fantasy and a variety of scenarios. All else are accessories, it looks how it has to look, nothing more, nothing less.
Could it use a higher poly count and a new engine? Yes
Would it make that big difference in the game? I don´t think so.
So the only reason this is controversial is because how close in time it is? There where plenty of games depicting the D day... quite a massacre, but no one seemed to care for the moral aspect of it. And people had lots of fun in omaha beach, where thounsands died.
Now it is not right for a game to depict a recent war? what is the "correct" time lapse? 10? 20? 40 years? after that time war and death are less terrible? After that time US attack on Iraq will be less unju...
Iguess it would have been quite an ill move not to include swimming for a game set in venice... :P
not being american I am sure I missused the expression or used one left behind in the mid 80s... go figure :P
I´m going to be hated... but I could never stand more thjan 5 minutes playing any GT game. It´s just not my cup of tea.
I find realistic simulators of any kind really dull. I do recon they can be entertaining to other people and even helpful at teaching some skill in other cases(not the console racers, of course)... But when playing videogames I just wan´t to smash my car against my opponents at 200mph without jeopardizing the stability or integrity of my car, I wa...
Dinosaurs are fake too! the proof is you never saw one!
yeah, he looks like a stereotype. Mind, I live outsiede the USA, that might help make it feel more obvious to me :P
and anyway... I sure got it wrong with the "bro" thing... I was just trying to say he looks too much like a fake character.
I sure love your avatar!! Monkey Island is the best videogame franchise probably. As for hiphopgamer... I just can´t bare the picture in his homepage... He hanging out against that wall with his Bro´ attitude... is there a need for that pic?... why not something videogame related?...
That alone keeps me out of the site... not to mention the unprofessional way he carries it along...
I was leaving Q3Arena... GREAT deathmatch... totally with you there :)
Oh... And I loved instagib in the first UT... still unmatched.
Fall for what trap? Since when is a mithology behind a game a trap? It´s not like you are following a sect or anything by liking a game or not.
Look, I´ve played games for over 20 years now... Loved a lot of "universes" "sagas" "stories" call it whatever you like. Halo does one FINE job at it. The masses backing that up is a testament to a well written game (be it simplistic or not, but effective nontheless).
Yup... played the game... I think in 94 (and it was released in that year too)... I was 13 then, and a real Sega fan :) I liked it quite a lot, though I was more into rpgs and platformers.
BTW, Halo wars is a neat RTS for a console!
BTW, the games in the list don´t make any justice to the title of the poll. It´s like the latest next gen top sellers plus "other"... No classics there. the word "Ever" clearly makes room for a lot of names that are missing...
oh... and it´s an internet poll, the result is anything but conclusive.
In no particular order:
-Half Life 1 & 2 (including CS 1.5 and 1.6)
-Doom 1, 2 & 3
-Quake 2 for SP experience, Quake 1 for the MP.
-Medal of Honor
-CoD 1...played trough all of them and nº 1 is still the best, really loved it when I played it at the time of release.
Oh, and some oldtime doom-era classics:
Rise of the Triad (I had to look up in a magazine to get rid of all of "El oscuro" larvaes)
Fortre...
Really good post. Bubs to that...
As a side note, something I don´t get tired of saying here. Game devs and console builders should make region locked contents for non 1st world countries, specially those where currency is well under the dollar... A 60 U$s game in argentina costs roughly... 300 pesos (taxes and all)... which is a TON, considering an avarage salary is arround 2000... that is more than 10%... too much for a single game... Special region locked cheaper releases...
yeah... for the first years, sure. But later on PC would totally crush PS2... long term evolution has it´s own limits. The machine, if perfectly used and coded for, can only give so much performance. I rather see all the bang in the beggining than see games that surpass KZ2 5 years in the future. Where a new generation of Graphics has appeared that eclypse that. Sure, you still have a nice gaming hardware, but already obsolete.
You actually DO realize that the fact Masterchief has so little voice participation or personality at all is a developer decission that helps for self projection into the character... It helps to the inmersion. Many books use this too, and also other games (do you recall Gordon Freeman being much of a speaker in HL?... yet it was a great game with a great main character) Halo even pushes the concept further, giving the main character no face at all. I think it´s a great call from Bungie....
I believe that after 2012 totally fails as a world ending or super energy shifting, or the coming of the UFO and aliens, or the victory of peace, love an understanding... after it fails at any of the above in a spectacular way, people will probably turn their eyes at... 2020... or 2018... something closer in time than 12 years (which is 2012 to 2000, the latest iteration of the world´s end). Then that will fail too... leaving us to opt for 2022... or 2021... then after that, we will give...
Soul calibur for the DC eats SFIV for breakfast...
