I was disappointed by Fallout 4. I never thought it was a bad game, but it just didn't have the interesting locations and novelty of Fallout 3, which I consider to be one of the greatest games of all time. I can understand why other people liked Fallout 4, but it just fell flat for me. I'm surprised to her folks singing the praises of New Vegas, but perhaps that's because I was fixated on the centerpiece of that game, what was left of the strip, and ultimately found that to be ...
I see a lot of similarities between these games, especially in terms of the role they are playing. Both are considered masterpieces (forget which one is better) that have revived excitement around the Zelda series and driven console sales. I hope these similarities go one step further as well. Majora's Mask was an incredible follow-up to OOT, leveraging the same technology and game engine. In a way, it was kind of an OOT remake with a new story and twist to the gameplay. I'd like...
I find your response simultaneously stupid and hilarious. Well played!
I have no problem with this idea. I owned a Vita and loved it, mainly because it had analog sticks which is a superior input device for gaming. The Switch is the next big device to have integrated analog sticks, and it makes all the difference in the world of mobile gaming. I think it will be fun to play Switch games on the TV as well, but I do see that as secondary, and really, the best feature of the dock that no one seems to talk about is that when I remove the device from it, it's ...
The answer is probably 'no', but it may be closer than you think. I like to use a rule of thumb where my entertainment dollar is worth $5 an hour. So if I get good entertainment for an hour, that's worth $5 in my mind. I came up with this number when I considered the cost of activities like watching a movie, renting a movie, miniature golf, bowling, etc.
Now if I buy a switch console and Zelda, I've paid out just under $400. So by my calculations, I need...
I think a lot of Switch critics are missing the point about the strategy at play here, especially when comparing the console to the XOne and PS4. Here are my thoughts on the strategy overall:

It's not a guaranteed success, but I think Nintendo is going down the path that makes the most sense.
I have the ultimate backwards compatibility device: a PS3! And it was dirt cheap as a Gamestop refurbish unit. It sits under my PS4 and near my Wii.
Fair enough, I suppose. I guess I'm just jaded in that I think of PR talk as just blank talk, and this tweet fits right in with that.
Also, I have to admit that you reply is pretty funny.
Wow. We really are so hungry for news that a totally vacant statement like this qualifies as a posting?
I thought Uncharted 3 was the thesis project of that whole series. I know that reviewers seemed to like 2 more, but I thought 3 was the most amazing of the series -- my favorite by far. I think they could do another sequel, but it needs new characters in my mind; 3 just wrapped up the relationships too well to continue on.
The tie between video games and actual violence is a tired argument with no facts to support it. Unless there is new evidence to the contrary, let's move on.
Speaking from a business perspective, Microsoft made the right move. It may not be obvious in the pre-admit orders, even after the announcement, but it will surely make them more competitive than if they had held onto their previous policy. I think the comments from industry analysts back this assertion up.
I'm not an XBox fan, but I have to give credit to Microsoft for making this decision, regardless of their motivation. Just a little over a week ago they got punched...
Actually I'm interested in that as well. I hear the "Xbox Live" advantage a lot, but it's never explained in tangible terms that make any sense to me. If someone could provide two simple, everyday gaming examples of this, that would be helpful.
Maybe this is the way it's always been, but I'm struck by two things right now with this site. First, clearly the members on this site are generally siding with Sony. That may have been generally true before, but it's really true now. So far so good, nothing unusual about that from my point of view. But then it's the second thing that really confuses me. Why is this site obsessed with promoting positive XBox One articles and then spending time pissing all over them in the...
The downside, of course, is that you are still running two gaming systems in your entertainment area -- and you can't play the X360 without running both systems at the same time, sucking up twice the power when only half of it is needed.
The big advantage is that TVs have limited HDMI ports, and a lot of devices can only connect via HDMI. So this helps that congestion problem.
You could be right, but there's time for Microsoft to correct their mistake. Right now, not even a week after their e3 event, they are like a deer in headlights. They are momentarily stuck in place and will need time to think about their position.
It's possible that they decide to stick to their guns, and keep the core strategy in place. But I have a hard time imagining that based on the pre-order situation. The market is telling them, "we don't like what...
From my perspective, there are three critical mistakes that Microsoft have made with the Xbox One.
First
The whole stance on DRM/Used Games is the strangest and most ironic of the three mistakes. In various articles I’ve seen the XOne called futuristic and forward thinking. But if this is true, why didn’t Microsoft realize that the DRM/Used Game issue will eventually disappear on its own? Currently I have a PS3. Sometimes I buy disc based games, and sometimes I do...
I think there's a sense that the next XBOX needs to match the PS4 specs. I'd like to challenge that notion. If the XBOX has specs that approach the PS4, it will be fine. Most games will be made for both systems as developers try to maximize sales. Thus these titles will be engineered for the least powerful machine. As long as the new XBOX specs don't trail the PS4 too dramatically, it will be able to hold its own. Exclusives will be where the extra specs come in handy for So...
Let's put it this way. In this generation I have been a PS3 owner while my friends have been XBOX owners. I have enjoyed the PS3 and have no regrets. But I also have been aware of the games on the XBOX that I couldn't play.
So thinking ahead to the next generation, realizing that I will only have one gaming system, there is a possible advantage (depending on how remote play works in the next generation) in a Vita/XBOX combination in that all games would be availabl...
I have to agree. For whatever reason, neither of these female characters resonate with me. Uncharted = Drake. I hope it ends up being better than I think it will be. If the visuals and puzzles are really good, it would overcome my lack of connection with the protagonists. I just don't have a good vibe about this one.
