I disagree. Perfect Dark was one of the top sellers on the N64. Eternal Darkness was one of the top sellers on the Gamecube.
If they make them, people will buy.
Developing some new IPs would be a good idea.
I don't know about Mario Party. Those games always had a huge luck factor in them, and serious and hardcore gamers don't really like games decided largely on luck.
Don't bother hoping for it to fail. It already won this entire generation of the console war. It has such a big lead, there is no catching it this generation.
I absolutely love games that have a historical aspect. I think as long as people know the "facts" may not be presented actually, there is no problem.
If the game can somehow make it clear when something is historically accurate, and when it is not, you can even learn something from it.
I'm glad someone mentioned that. The motion controls are a great concept, but sometimes it seems like they use them simply because they feel like they have to.
I was never able to finish Zelda because I got tired of swiping my wrist 1000 times per hour.
There are times where the motions controls are awesome, and times where they are not. Overusing them makes them feel gimicky - like 3D in movies or something.
You said the key thing right there about the Pokemon games. They release all kinda of random Pokemon themed garbage, and then marvel at it not selling well.
They could take their EXACT DS/gameboy game, give it better graphics, and it would be a good full console game. Heck, just add a few features along with the greater memory and system capability, and you'd have a huge winner. And to be able to play it multiplayer online? Man, that would be insane.
By squishy I jus...
They need to market that stuff.
Does that size up against things like Perfect Dark for the N64?
Glad to hear about some of the games coming up. But honestly, "Crystal Bearers" and "Tales of Graces and Monado" sound like kinda squishy RPGs to me. But that's a snap judgement. And Dragon Quest X... Man, how about something new? :)
Silent Hill... same thing. We've been there and done that how many times now?
A full blown online Pokemon would be awesome. How can they not have given us that? Its such a no brainer.
Great comment.
That is great to hear. I am glad you were able to find Threshold and experience what a unique and awesome game/world it is.
You must be 18 years or older to play.
Also, 50% of Threshold's population are RL women.
So the picture is pretty appropriate. :)
I'm glad so many people find it useful. The writers who made the guides are die hard Guild Wars fanatics. I can understand why - it is a very well done game with a great business model.
Is it me, or does that PS3 bundle seem really, really pricey?
Considering there are facebook games with 50+ million players, the better question is "Who in their right mind DOESN'T review Facebook games."
Definitely!
Report back here with your opinions.
Tell us what you think, what you experience there, and all that jazz.
What are some of your favorite new features? Tell us about them. It really is awesome that a game as old as this continues to evolve and grow.
Great point. The borked up chat of TR made it so community really never formed - a darn shame. :(
As for Hellgate: that idiotic subscription for a Diablo clone strangled it in the crib.
So what do you all think... Did you try it out? SHOULD you try it out?
Or are we all so jaded we can't try something different than the same old crap being churned out every day by the same companies?
Hot chicks love roleplaying. That's why they love vampires and Twilight and all that crap.
Another reason to get into games like this.
Great tips. As a parent of two, this is really helpful advice. Both of my kids are starting to get into games as well, so it will be a whole gaming family soon.
If you want a true role playing environment with a rich world history and a great community, Threshold RPG is your game.
