So you're simultaneously complaining its not enough like the original games whilst complaining that its trying too hard to look like the previous games?
*brainsplodes*
I would've sworn Alan Wake was voiced by North as well, but he wasn't! Just someone who sounds identical.
Look in the manual/imdb etc. It really messed with my head. I guess they might have switched to NN for the sequel though considering everyone thinks he did it anyway lol.
I highly doubt this will remain exclusive for long.. It'll come out in improved versions for other consoles and knowing capcom also for the 3DS directors cut. If any other publisher was making this I'd consider getting a 3DS just for the one game.. Gonna wait it out instead.
It was a silly comment. I'm not sure where it even came from. Why wouldn't an adult female know about it? I know a load of skyrim liking/playing women. The game had been plastered all over the web and TV, even non gamers see that stuff obviously.
Most of the reaction is semi joking too. Nobody is losing sleep over this. :) would be nice if writers just didn't say things like that in the first place as it makes no positive contribution to the writing..
Sharpening things and bumping up the contrast does NOT make graphics better.. Doesn't make them any more realistic either.
You could get the same effect by messing with your monitor settings.. But you wouldn't want to considering the amount of thought and effort that went into making the game look the way it does already.
It's nice there are options though I guess, if people really think this is an improvement.. Different strokes.
Im more concerned about the fact that the articles author claims to "teach in university" but had the gal to copy/paste the entire article from another site without adding anything. Not cool.
The way Reggie speaks/writes is cringeworthy. I can't think of anyone else who's so old-school and blatant about their PR talk. Still looking forward to playing SS though.
The UI is ass on all versions. Even the consoles would benefit from a UI that doesn't force you to list everything alpabetically and only shows you item properties when you select it.
You should easily be able to tell things like "what are my heaviest items" and "which are my most valuable items" without having to scroll a whole list and memorise everything.
It definitely should show what you're carrying and what a vendor is carryi...
*High fives* I posted an article to that effect a few days ago, too..
I'm glad to see MC is in the best PC game running and the best indie game category, but TBH "best PC game" isn't fair because that's the only place they've bothered to put Witcher 2.. Which SHOULD be in the best RPG category above Dragon Age 2 etc. When W2 comes out on 360 next year maybe they'll probably put it in best RPG category and confuse matters further!
...
The current GUI is super clunky. They should have put a lot more info on the lists in particular. It's stupid not knowing how many of an item you have already when you're browsing a shop, they do break a lot of common sense UI guidelines.
If there are only 3 properties for each weapon/armour why not just have those stats visible in the list itself. I shouldn't have to highlight every item and remember them to compare stats. It should at least be toggle-able. Then ...
You realise things go viral because people spread them around? It's not random/hand of god type stuff. People don't recommend/forward things they think is pointless or bad.. You can't get around the fact that people enjoy playing it.
"but the only reason people are playing mincraft is because its just popular, not because of gameplay or anything like that just because its popular. "
So what you're saying is it's popular because ...
I'd like to see enough of a jump in hardware for devs to realistically start adding 4x split-screen to games which probably would have had it in previous gens but the envelope is being pushed too hard with the current hardware to do it.
I'm talking Resistance, Uncharted, Killzone.. I love the graphics but I'd take 4 way split screen at 1080 for get-togethers too..
Art style has always been more important IMO, but its nice that when people want to...
"lucky" "shit that got viral" could apply to most successful games (the shit part obviously being subjective and inaccurate). How much have you played it online? The size and scope of the player base kind of contends the whole "terraria is a better game" thing. How many people are still playing minecraft compared to terraria, do you think?
I love terraria btw but they're very different. Some people will prefer one to the other.
Touché, they are only opinions, remember. MC will most certainly be a *lot* of sites GOTY. I don't think they'll care whether you recognise them or not. :)
Good to see The Witcher 2 get a nod from someone. I feel like it'll be overlooked by the end of the year. :/
(not sure why i can't reply to your reply, but here you go) - they're the first non-human mob you come across, taking a similar place to those rats at the start of Oblivion.
They're pretty common, particularly in dungeons. :( Shame there isn't a switch to toggle them, people should send Bethesda feedback. Sofar I've only seen quite tarantula-ish ones, I know some people are worse with house-spider spindly leg type things. I've not seen any like that at...
On land they're pretty creepy and v well animated. Coming down on their webs they're comically unreal looking.
Hisssssss.
I think people are missing an important title here, but that warrants its own article. :D
Thanks for the comments people it's good to see everyone's most replayed games, and that some people don't do it at all. That was the main point of the article really. How do you rate something like that?
I'm in the middle of a crushing replay myself and its a lot of fun, though in my case it seems more about pattern memorisation than skill.
I think i suck. If the enemies had any level of randomisation in where they came from i'd probably be screwed.
Haha I don't care, this looks awesome.
Anyone who thinks MGS was serious in the first place was obviously playing something else.. Do you even remember all the craziness with Raiden in MGS4? This is perfectly fitting for such a stupid character. (hey, who needs arms to fight anyway)
Seriously, this looks badass!
