So what? Does being an FPS somehow make it unworthy of purchase?
It's a pointless exercise. Both characters main attribute is that they "come back" from lethal damage.
I'm going to wait until it's $20 or $30 but I bet it's way better than most of the reviews indicate.
It applies to this Generation too! Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion -> Halo3-> Bioshock -> Portal -> Metroid Prime 3:Corruption -> Fallout 3-> Borderlands -> ??? -> COD 4 -> Bad Company -> Alien Vs. Predator -> M.A.G
STILL PLENTY OF EVOLUTION GOING ON.
And who else followed the supposedly evolutionary Killzone FPS model again? Like nobody?
Anyone who honestly thinks that FPS games haven't evolved must have missed pretty much everything between now and 1993.
This is a classic "Think McFly!" article if I ever saw one.
Wolfenstein 3D -> Doom -> Heretic-> Duke Nukem 3D/Blood -> Dark Forces
There were also early FPS/rpg hybrid stuff like Strife or System Shock.
Prior to that were Ultima Underwold. Elder Scrolls 2: Dagger Fall was an RPG made from a...
" its funny how no one even considers the possibility that it flopped because it was actually not a very good game."
I think it's funny that so many of the supposedly "informed" people celebrating what a flop it supposedly was and claiming it was "bad" or "on the wrong console" don't seem to even know what kind of game it actually is.
That's hilarious.
Hint: It's a third person shooter...
At the heart of things, Luigi's mansion is essentially 'Alone in the Dark'(classic) meets some timing based #@#$ing fishing game.
Folklore borrows more from Luigi's mansion than Alan Wake does.
Alan Wake IS a TPS or Third person shooter. That's what you do in the game: shoot things in third person and run around. You don't even have melee in the game.
It's not a survival horror or adventure game.
Alan Wake IS a 3rd person shooter based around light and dodge moves as its defining "gimmick" to distinguish it from other TPS.
If you'd played it you'd know that.
Just Cause 2 isn't an open world game.
I prefer Crackdown's "Hulk lite with window-sill grabbing" movement to inFamous's "Spider-Man lite" movement or [Protoype]'s "Full Hulk + wall run" movement.
Crackdown also allowed grabbing any vehicle which added some variety. You could drive when you got tired of jumping and when you got tired of that you could throw your car at somebody. That way it was also GTA/Saint'...
You should have seen 2005. The Sony fanboys were obnoxious about the 360 THEN too and then in 2006 Sony screwed them big time with $599 and Ridge Racer. THAT'S where the PS3 fans like to start history. 2006 during the backlash. But they were already being huge jerks back in 2005 before they even had a nextgen console to cheer on. They were chanting 'Xbox 1.5' and 'Dreamcast' and such and then acted surprised when people snapped back at them.
ALL fanboys a...
Right now? Nope.
In the near future? I don't know. But who does?
This article is fortune telling. Fortune telling is really a type of guessing. Guessing tends to be informed and shaped by prejudicial assumptions that people already have, and restrained by the quality and quantity of available information. That means that guessing often tends to result in inaccurate predictions.
Clearly a bad economy where finding a job (or other reliabl...
Yeah one of the most prolific and best selling game genres is 'past its prime'.
Controversy seeking Idiot.
" To the people who always bitch about game characters, why dont you make one and add em in a game? "
Because I don't make games. Got any other stupid $#@$ing irrelevant questions? Does the fact that I don't make games somehow make Zeke cool or less annoying? Does that make people hate him less? Does my not being a movie director somehow make the starwars prequels good?
No?
Well, okay then.
It'...
It gets less entertaining every time I see it.
Stop babbling. No amount of babbling will make Halo any less great or less popular. It just makes you look really ignorant when you try.
US isn't really partially recovered either.
Nintendo is already dropping new hardware (3DS) this fall in Japan and probably in the spring in the US.
The "Gods" in God of War are pretty much wusses though. They die pretty easy. The Doom Marine could probably take them out too.
