If I had to guess, I'd say the problem is exactly being stuck at home. The problem? EVERYBODY is stuck at home. Trying fighting for the TV with the whole family must be exhausting. Switch has its own screen, so a person can play it while the kids watch cartoons or the wife watches reality shows or the husband watches sports.
Let's say you have a TV in your room, so you can play another console on it. Being locked in your room for hours while your kids and significan...
Netflix just got 2 movies nominated at the Oscars. And the nominations for the Emmy keep piling up.
They are surely making more movies and series than before. By making more, of course there will also be more bad ones, but the number of good and great titles didn't diminish.
Everything you said about development and the quality of game titles because of business models are just assumptions. We never had a big developer/publisher focusing on this particular busi...
I love(d) Final Fantasy, but I have to say that its stories usually are a little too convoluted, specially the newest ones.
Instead of getting thrown into a world of l'cie, fal'cie and cie'th, or a world in which I need to watch a movie, 5 anime episodes, and play all DLC just so I will care a little bit about its characters, I'd choose the simpler Dragon Quest stories.
Square even managed to overcomplicate FFVII Remake's plot with its last chapter and a...
Well, I never liked the Xbox, but I'm an Xbox Game Pass for PC subscriber, so they may be into something there. I would never buy Gears of War or Halo because I don't like shooting games, but since they're part of the service, I can play and try them. They're getting money from me that they wouldn't get otherwise.
Let's hope these games are more like Resident Evil 2 Remake, and less like Resident Evil Resistance...
I don't really care if it doesn't get completed. I was very excited while playing the game, thinking it was awesome, until the last episode when...
[SPOILERS]
They clumsily included all that talk about "Destiny", timelines, those "misterious" talks like "if we go through this we'll lose ourselves", the Whispers acting like a Deus Ex Machina, Sephiroth opening a portal and Aerith turning it white for some reason......
"especially when you consider it was most likely bundled with ds"
It... wasn't. I'm not even sure how to respond to that since a quick search proves that's not the case. Maybe when commenting you should stick to facts?
"nice try, but that's an article from 2012
before even the wii u"
Uhm... your point is...? I also don't really know how to respond to that, since I didn't say anywhere those sales were reg...
"they're only trying to prevent people from enjoying a game that released 24 years ago"
Whenever they re-release this game, it sells millions. According to Wikipedia, "As of March 31, 2018, Super Mario 64 DS has sold 11.06 million copies worldwide".
Nintendo doesn't seem to release sales numbers for Virtual Console games, but I found an article on IGN (
I wonder what goes through the mind of people who think a game company, that's only trying to prevent one of their games from being pirated, is doing something bad...
If this was some game which the company didn't care about and wasn't re-releasing it in newer systems, I would understand the reaction. However, Mario 64 was released on Nintendo DS, Wii, Wii U, and a remake is being rumored. And if Nintendo makes a N64 mini, it'll be its first game. This is n...
You're... comparing the release of a pirated game to writing a fan fiction?
Dude, this game isn't an original game that uses the characters of Mario franchise (when Nintendo does take down this type of games, I also get irked) to be compared to a fan fiction. This game is the whole Super Mario 64, the game that Nintendo made. A guy just made the game work on PC without emulators, he didn't create a game from zero.
Resident Evil is at its best when it perfectly blends action with horror. The first games (including Code Veronica and Zero) did it well, while 4 steered a little too much on the action side, still being good, while 5 and mainly 6 just went full action.
Instead of toning down the action a little, Capcom went too far into the horror side, so 7 didn't feel like a proper Resident Evil to me. It's actually the only game in the series where I finished it once and didn...
The most recent example of this that I found is in FFVII remake. I'm not even talking about the side quests.
[SPOILERS]
I'm talking about having to leave Aerith's house in the middle of the night. What should be straightforward, and not even needing the player's interaction - a cutscene showing Cloud getting up and cutting to him going down the stairs should've been enough - turned into a clunky minigame of walking through a (suddenly) cluttered...
That was a good read. The article points both good and bad points about the game, so it doesn't treat it like the second coming of Christ like most FFVIII fans do, and also not like a pile of sh*t like FFVIII detractors (me included) do. I agree with most of the points it raises.
It makes me a little sad to see two of the worst games in both franchises being the most sold ones.
Final Fantasy IV (or II in the US) on SNES. It was the first true RPG I ever played.
After reading the other comments, I feel old...
That's exactly the point......
People say FFXIII was bad because it was linear, but FFX, and now FFVII, proves that linearity is not a problem when done right.
I wish we could move a building only a few blocks to the side. If we want to move a building only a little and it overlaps (or it's right next to) the current location, we have to spend bells and a whole day moving to a complete different place, to then move back to the almost same place.
Get a room! (and share the video ;-* )
The "why" is obvious, they want it to remain multiplayer so players will feel the need to buy lootboxes. But it sucks for me that they spent time and resources on a mode I'll never play, since I despise online multiplayer, instead of using them on making the main game longer or on a single player extra mode.
I wish they did something like Resident Evil Revelations 2 Raid mode.
I loved the two first Paper Marios (and Mario & Luigi Paper Jam) because they were real RPGs. If this new Paper Mario game follows the style of the last ones, I won't be interested in it. Since it's been so hard to find this information, and learning my lesson after buying the last games on release day, I'll wait for reviews and true gameplay videos to decide on buying it or not.
On a side note, I loved the 2D->3D mechanic in Super Paper Mario. I hope they use it a...
