I am starting to suspect that Wedbush Morgan, founded 1955, is lost in some Hudsucker Proxy-like world.
It seems fundamentally childish if not psychotic to make pronouncements on how it claims that the way that the wind will blow - all in the hope of creating that weather itself through support to 'prove' them 'right'.
It's built on anti-belief in something that it didn't even create. How can a company do that and claim to be independe...
The first Silent Hill film is about as decent as could reasonably be hoped for. Pyramid Head looks like Pyramid Head, the nurses look like the nurses. The effects are decently done.
Just a shame that Silent Hill 3's intracacies in terms of atmosphere / variety of locations were barely scraped in the sequel.
It might become the case in years to come that some major TV companies might make lavish television episodic programmes based on a few existing games when they know that both the audience is large enough to justify it (it arguably already is) and when they know that they can do justice to those games and to viewers in this format.
In this format, there will be more time to establish characters, build up drama and hope to build up TV figures regardless of whether the viewer was previou...
I particularly agree with Bioshock and Limbo.
The Unfinished Swan. The fairytale nature of the game and music are very well done.
Then there's Papo and Yo and Rain- all part of the same kind of vibe. But it's got to go to The Unfinished Swan for indie games for me.
And Resident Evil remake on the Gamecube. Part 4 does have its own really crazy atmosphere.
"I don't think PlayStation Now has a prayer of getting over one million subscribers."
PS3 80+ million console sales.
I'm not saying I'll necessarily get it, at least not for a few years (next gen is all about next gen for me) but you think less than 1 in EIGHTY of those buyers might be interested, even as a curious whim, in downloading games at some point in the new few years?
Not counting Playstation Vita and PS4 owners...
What about Jason's 'death' though. His father Ethan clearly takes the full impact from the car. Ethan catches his son quite well as far as I recall. There's no way that Jason could have died and yet Ethan not been severely injured at the very least. Unless Ethan crushed his own son!
It took a few minutes later before it was confirmed to me that Ethan had definitely died.
Helium balloon rising is not yet the standard accepted code for 'former owner&...
I'm not so surprised that critics have scored it so lowly but I am surprised that users have actually scored it slightly lower than that.
Most early owners of a console will score a solid game fairly solidly at 7 or 8 out of 10. I wonder how many of those user reviews are actually from people who own an Xbox One rather than just played it for a little bit in a store or at a friend's house (if they played it at all). It surely can't seriously be given 0/10.
That'...
This might be how people started to believe in Jesus. People kept on approving stories about him.
(I'm not saying Jesus can't be true regardless- don't cry).
Pachter is just a humble, overpaid analyst. ANALyst.
What he knows about videogames might sometimes be worth knowing. But it's no more worth knowing than anything many N4Gers write.
The difference is that we give our views out for free.
And we are...
Those things do not necessarily have to add up to 'casual'. They might touch on casual in a Venn diagram but, as a gamer of nearly 30 years, I have no problem with the appearance of Ryse.
Roman centurions are usually synonomous with turn based strategy games which are not my thing- it's like play a board game. This game has added to Microsoft's roster of a variety of different genres and themes close to launch. As a launch game showing off new graphics, it doesn't...
"Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter is known to be very vocal"
Then why give him any more coverage than he's already got for himself through being employed to talk his own opinions about products that he has had no input in creating?
What kind of sick world do we live in where younger people than Pachter (probably) would put up an ANALYST'S words as entertainment / a point of discussion?
Are you brought up in America...
If 'a' coincides with 'b' then a caused b is often the argument.
But what if b caused a?
Or what if a was not dependent on b to any major extent nor vice versa.
What if an amoral, ant-social SOCIETY caused individuals to seek games that best reflect how they feel about the society that they are in? Not as wish fulfillmemt but as their own social study?
Margaret Thatcher said 'There is no such thing as soci...
What could happen with The Last of Us is that it might become like what Max Payne 2 was to Max Payne.
Combat improved but atmosphere not quite as scary and story not improved.
They won't be too happy to settle with that.
Irrational got round the problem by not making Bioshock 2.
Back in the day, Resident Evil had a new game every couple of years with some minor changes to the formula. That doesn't cut it any more with...
I think some of these Microsoft people want to jump ship to Sony from the sound of it.
It's all very well showing praise for competition but it'd be a bit more apt if they made more frequent use of Rare.
THAT IS IT! TELL ME WHAT YOU DISAGREE WITH YOU SPINELESS, ANONYMOUS, FOOLS.
CHANGE THIS WHOLE AWFUL AGREE/ DISAGREE SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS ANY BRAIN DEAD PERSON TO SPIT SILENT DISAGREEMENT WITHOUT EXPLANATION OR REASON.
YOU GODLESS, JOYLESS, AND HOPEFULLY EDUCATIONLESS PEOPLE.
What lie do you suggest was made?
Here was my reasoning 'Not a worthy name to have a Wikipedia page in that they are neither particularly respected for their guesses in 'analysis' nor are they involved in the creation of the products that they comment or in any kind of notable literary criticism on them.'
Or are you meaning that I was lying about deleting his Wikipedia page? Well I reworded it as it won't let you completely delete it.
Yes it's called a metaphor.
Metaphors are not meant to imply literalism. They're meant to illustrate a general relationship.
Microsoft killed the last few years of the Xbox360 so that the Xbox One could thrive at its launch. Which, despite PS4 being so popular, the Xbox One has relatively thrived in sales.
You don't understand what a metaphor is.
The Xbox One 'killed' the Xbox360's library in its last few years because companies were saving up their games for the launch or close to launch of the Xbox One.
I've just deleted Pachter's Wikipedia page :)
The problem with liking any Xbox console for the launch games is that it's a bit like liking a serial killer for their nice human bone earrings. The last console always had to 'die' so that the new console could have great launch games.
(Unlike Playstation which always supports the older console very adequately).
But some great games to come- Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break..
Titanfall looks as overrated as anything I've ever seen thou...
I'm sure that someone at Naughty Dog loves Silent Hill a lot from the subtle references that there are to that game.
Carousel (see Silent Hill 3), mannequins (see any Silent Hill game), mall (see Silent Hill 3- yes malls in games were not actually common until Silent Hill).
This add on is all about having fun with a friend (as a single player game) mainly. But don't go in thinking it might be a particularly surprising game- it's not. Details are few outsid...
