Were you not alive when they MADE Half-Life: Opposing Force? That was a great damn game / expansion.
Granted, this was before Gearbox begun to fail miserably, because PRIOR to Duke Nukem Forever, PRIOR to Aliens: Colonial Marines and PRIOR to Battleborn? There was really zero negativity at the studio. They weren't hugely advanced but they also weren't really 'out there' enough to be called mediocre imho.
But, course - I'm not disputing...
Apparently to the naysayers who're 'Disagreeing with me' and yet not presenting a SINGLE fraction of counter-points, not a single counter-argument, mere logical fallacies or them trying to go: "Lel but ur probably millennial thus by the logic of space magic, YOU ARE WRONG!"
Facts are, yup, I am a Millennial, the return-question is why the hell can't I make fun of the downfalls and stereotypes OF Millennials if I myself am a millennial? (1988). The ...
When Microsoft held a lot of things back and refused to during PS3's era it was perfectly fine and acceptable, no complaints except by 'Sony fanboys', and when they complained they were shunned and shamed.
Now comes the generation afterwards, where the roles have been reversed and Sony is doing exactly what Microsoft did - and everyone thinks its hip to attack Sony as the Big Meanie Company again for not sharing their glory with competition.
D...
Millennials make everything bad, just look at Poltiics and the level of SJW and Political Correctness and the pandering, the toxicity and 'politics' of the world come hand-in-hand. Peaceful World create Weak People, and weak people who never had to fight for anything will have nothing to do but whine for fake wars, proxy wars, feels-wars and identity politics, and this personification comes in flesh in our video game industry - how do they relate, you may ask? Because it becomes a cor...
@Spartan - Tomb Raider was always a relevant franchise...
And Square isn't to be thanked for Nier's semi-burst of popularity, that goes to Platinum and the Dev/creator - SquareEnix is just a publisher, 'Cavia' was the studio behind Nier, and since it didn't really sell at all (Meaning Square failed to publish and advertise/market the game) - it became a Cult hit and not a commercial one, Platinum Games being given it was what established Nier's serie...
Man, these 'Hype' Xbox X vaporware articles are just going in Full force! It's so sad how desperate and pandering most these articles come off as, it's like "WOWEE XBOX X IS GONNA BE THE BEST! SO MANY GAMES! BEST THING EVER! COME GET IT!"
The difference at least at my opinionated level is I share the same laughter towards my belief that Switch won't be as much of a success as people expect, it'll likely do better than Wii U - but, not by mu...
"Trust me! They totally exist!"
I'd love if they remade Parasite Eve 1 and 2, and maybe made a True PE2 Sequel, (Cause no, I don't see the game they made on the PSP as a sequel) they made that one at the time of Square obsessing over melodramatic storylines and idiotic mechanics, like that found in FF7 Dirge of Cereberus too. Those years were Squares' Dark time - when everyone expected them to go bankrupt and die off, with FF13 and FF14 being the final straw to break the camels' back - now look at it all - S...
Microsofts' gone full-retard in 2017 I guess..... I'm no xbox fan, but they were doing quite well for themselves in 2016, where the hell did they run off to?
We're taking advice from a fictional Echidna that knows better than a majority of feminists and journalists? What a time to be alive.
"After years of arguable misrepresentation"
They bring up Tomb Raider as if the game didn't mean jack shit during the original series on Playstation -_- My issue is the fact these crybaby SJW's and Feminists don't go and make a competent game themselves that show 'female empowerment from female creativity' but they cry about it to staff that are no doubt, have staff that are mostly Male to make games to 'give the feeling of empowerment to w...
We need more Smol-Loli-like Cosplayers who aren't underaged, lol
Can Microsoft do anything but try to bullshit themselves and their customers? They're getting worse and worse with the bullshit-talk all over again. For the past 1-2 years they've been doing fine in the PR stuff - being direct and everything. Now they've reverted to exaggerations and bullshitting as per 'the usual Microsoft'.
I'm amazed it wasn't from CogConnected, lmao. That's all their shit that gets put up on here, clickbait of Cosplay and busty-girls.
Ehn
Oculus ain't a better deal, weaker tech, not future-proof and there ain't really any games that are future-proofing it in the software department. Vive has already a decent lineup and Valves' working on VR Gloves to boot - and we KNOW Valve can make a Valve game and has a Full-Fledged AAA game in the works for VR, just imagining Half-Life VR would make it sell quite a good amount.
Oculus? the fuck does it got?
inb4 boogie2988 eats 6 bags of them that were blended with mountain dew - then complains about his weight the next day.
How did I know the cosplay Thumbnail/Title was gonna be a CogConnected article, lmao. It's all they mostly do for clicks these days.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Makes me happy that the first and last game I ever gave them money for, was Oblivion. After that their greed turned me off. Whilst Ubisoft, similarly, 'For Honor' is the very last game I'd ever buy from them. More customers need to put their fucking feet down on companies like this.
