My only real problem with the game is the lack of consistency in progression. I actually enjoyed the first few hours a LOT more than the later due to how easy the game became. Enemies barely got more difficult, at least in comparison to how powerful you, as the player, become.
Overall, the game is fun, but it's definitely not gonna take the place from RS's Batman games. Mordor and Arkham City are very similar, but AC has far more variety, the areas lend themselves ...
Not the order I would have all of them, but I do definitely agree with #1, so a good list just for that.
I would guess not completely. Will probably be like FF12, as in large open zones with barriers for towns and such.

Yep, that's exactly what it is.
It's stupid to compare a fight against goblins which would be at the beginning of the game (the behemoth was basically one-shotted with a way-above-level Flare spell to end the demo), with a fight against Leviathan, a major boss, while he's destroying a town which is probably at mid-game or later.
I have a feeling we were never gonna get the dynamic fighting fast paced stuff we saw in last year's video for every little fight. The video was of the Leviathan fight destroying a city and from hopping between airships, two scenes that lend themselves to heavy momentum, thus intensity. They showed the sword grapple thing, so I have a feeling there will still be those intense combat/movement scenes we saw in the e3 trailer.
It was a demo to show off basic gameplay, not difficulty. Should have been ridiculously obvious.
He was fighting goblins, which if going by past FF games, are the easiest enemy in the game, and a behemoth right next to them, which is usually ones of the biggest endgame non-boss enemy types. You should be able to easily dodge the easiest mobs in the game. He was getting hit, though, but the characters had on a large health regen, which I'm sure is just a demo feature. ...
Actually, the only thing with any real aliasing was the car, which leads me to believe it just wasn't quite finished and will be ironed out before release. It did really stand out because of this, though.
Overall, I would say quite a bit is upgraded from last years trailer, but it's a different setting and didn't show a major boss battle (Leviathan), which would obviously give more of a "wow" factor. I think the main point of this trailer was to show t...
I understand what you are saying, but overrated doesn't mean a game is bad or that the person saying it doesn't like it.
For example, I think GTAIV is probably one of the top 3 most hyped games in history (as in, before it was released). The reviews are some of the best for any game ever, etc., etc. However, while I like the game, I think it's the least impressive console GTA game since GTA2, and definitely not one of the best games ever made (as reviews would s...
Regardless of whether one thinks the game is good or not, I find this line ridiculous.
"Towering over its competitors to become the Xbox One’s most popular game, it’s established itself as a legitimate challenger to genre heavyweight Call of Duty."
So, a game that has sold a little over 2 million copies over three platforms is somehow now at the level of success of CoD? A series that sells between 15 and 20+ million? I know they didn't mean c...
I don't doubt my experience is different from most, because, like I said, I played too much at once.
I was wrong about leveling a second fighting class, but I think that's just because it definitely FELT a lot longer, since it's pretty much a repetitive grind if you want to level quickly, not having direction with quests and such to help ease things along. You mention the FATE grinding, that's what I did at the time. Not sure if there is something different ...
The game is a lot of fun till you hit max level. Leveling a second class is fairly boring and very repetitive, and unlike most MMOs, since you do it on the same character, you can't level near as fast as your first fighting class. Also, comparing to other major MMOs, the amount of content is low and the world is quite small.
The negatives I feel may be only something I experience, since I was level 50 on WHM, Pugilist, Marauder, Botanist, Mining, Alchemy and Culinarian,...
When I saw the trailer at E3 I was very excited for the game, mainly because the way they presented it seemed fantastical and vibrant.
Sadly, the more I hear about the big numbers and nothing about the gameplay, the less interested, or at least, more skeptical I become.
Fact of the matter is, if the vast majority of the game is just about exploration of different planets it will get boring after a few hours if there is nothing to actually do on said plane...
Sounds like a list of someone with a short attention span, considering over half the games are RPGs, which is well known as the longest genre.
At least he admits on most of them it's just him not liking or unable to finish the game. I don't mind opinion pieces where the writer words the opinion as such, and not as a fact that he just expects everyone reading to immediately take up.
As for the list, I've finished and enjoyed all of the games. H...
While I agree large SSDs are too costly to be worth it, there are many games that take HUGE advantage of it. 256gb is plenty big enough to put quite a few games on it (afterall, what else are you doing with the other 250+gb after Windows install?). All games don't need or won't benefit much from an SSD, but it's nice to have one for games that do (which are WAY too many to list here).
Sadly, the actor is fairly unimportant with an uninspired director. Seth Gordon is no superstar director, and in fact, based on his directing past, the movie will be a comedy (Identity Thief, Horrible Bosses, Parks and Rec, Community, Modern Family, The Office, etc.) and will not be any good because of it. (Don't get me wrong, I really like most of the shows he's worked on...not so much the movies.)
Also, there are no big name writers with a good body of work attache...
Was gonna reply to the first post, then saw this. Glad someone mentioned D:OS, as it is, in my opinion, by far the game of the year so far.
I'm really looking forward to Destiny, and I don't doubt it will be in the running for GotY, but we will have to see how it all comes together.
I've always thought K:SF looked better because of all the stuff going on. However, I'm curious if Infamous Second Son was in this "contest," because it looks better than both Ryse and Killzone by a good bit in overall graphics.
The problem is that Siggraph is a tech based, modelers/animators type of event, and I know a ton of these people (I am one). Most of them actually don't care about games, they care about looking at the models specifically. Fr...
Only one I will concede is ODST, but that is hard to count as part of the main franchise with 1-3 and Reach, considering it was more of a side-game that turned into a major release.
I'm not sure if all the detractors here are implying that the game won't be the next Halo because it's a completely different type of game and probably won't change the console FPS landscape, or if they are referring to sales.
Destiny WILL outsell Halo, by a wide margin, since it's on multiple consoles. Whether or not it has long legs and even more successful future releases will be determined by it's quality and reception at release, but it will sell...
If ND had all the time to make whatever games they possibly could, I would agree. However, to make a new J&D game would mean they wouldn't be making something else. Insomniac is a good developer, but they aren't even close to ND.
While I really enjoyed the J&D series, Uncharted and TLOU were better games (IMO), so I would rather ND make what they want and feel passionate about, rather than get nostalgic or make something that someone else wants them to make....
