Where is this study?
All I see in that article is anecdotes.
It has a massive cross appeal.
Battle royal games were already dominating on pc. Fortnite appeals to the Kids brought up on minecraft as well.
It the good old lowest common denominator.
Minecraft is now owned by Microsoft.
The playstation version is not the same as the xbox version crossplay between them would probably be difficult
Well. Walking simulator doesn't have to be a deragetory term.
And it does to some degree described some games with accuracy.
Games like Dear Esther or Firewatch are great as storytelling devices with minimal interactive elements.
The article is fine, the title might seem hyperbolic and negative, but it makes sense when you read the full thing.
If anything it is a nod to telltale's legacy as master storytellers.

Who is we?
Before the X came out, all I saw was people claiming that all games would run at native 4K and that is why it was more powerful than the Pro.
It is more powerful, bur not to the degree that many people try to make it out to be.
@Jinger
You clearly have no understanding of the common use if the term fetch quest.
All the things you mention here is optional, but still had unique story and assets associated with them. They are clearly not fetch quests
So has the Ps4 Pro, but that is beside the point.
You are entirely missing what the article tries to get through. Having 4k and/or 60 fps is a choice that developers will have to make.
No matter how advanced the hardware gets there is always going to be a trade off and some, arguably most, developers will choose to focus their tech on something other than 4k/60.

A staple? Do you have something against the genre? I mean I do as well, because of it's oversaturation, but come on.. A staple?
Regardless your analogy is off. For one, the founding fathers of the united states is only a literary device to describe people that had an impact on the forming of the nation.
It is not a factual matter, it is a subjective one.
To elaborate, the typical usage of the term fou...
I agree.
AC3 had the best combat in any Assassin's Creed to date. It was also the last game where free running actually felt meaningful. The animation blending has been getting noticeably worse since Revelations, but in AC3 we at least had the trade off of being able to freely traverse trees as well.
I get why people dislike it, but in a lot of ways it was the last game to move the franchise forward in any meaningful way.
I like wh...
Sam Lake is not an actor. He probably wouldn't even want to play him.
He also sounds nothing like Max Payne.
They only used his likeness for him Max Payne 1, because it was cheaper.
Max Payne was horrible. However this has a good writer and Sam Lake is an executive producer. Hopefully that means his work will be respected.
I dont agree with the narrative, but one can easily argue that FPS is one of the founding genres of video gaming.
While gaming existed a while before. FPS is the genre that moved gaming from a 2D plane to a 3D plane. It is also the genre that showed games' ability to simulate experiences.
Reviews is not science. It is opinion.
As long as we assume that someones's opinion can be valuable to someone else, then both opinions are equally valuable, just to different people.
This is why I believe Reviews should have an intro where the writer describes his or her relationship to the genre and/or series. That way the reader can more easily decide if the writer's taste aligns with theirs.
Because ultimately that is the on...
Yea. It's like these people think that having things look like plastic = better graphics.
I get that it is shiny and all, but having reflections that properly adjust based on the material it is reflecting off is objectively the more advanced version
Because it makes no sense. The had a showcase showing off systems and people complain it doesn't have enough action. In a third person shooter where we know a good majority of the time you will be handling a gun.
Their complaint therefore is with the presentation, not the game.
I was ready to have the same reaction. However he has a bit of a point.
While I find it hard that his issue is not that it is too hard, because he did not finish them. That seems like a big problem. If he had managed to get through it I would be more likely to understand his position.
But he does have a point in that all of these games. All the way from Demon's Souls to Bloodborne have at least one or two boss encounters that put an awful lot of rudim...
This review seem to deel with the new HD ports that are coming. So one should not expect it to automatically be on the level of the original.
Shen Mue is the game I, for the longest time, considered my number 1. I love it to bits, but there is no denying that it is a dated game. Which is doomed to happen to any game that is before its time.
The game still holds a very special place in my heart and I plan on playing the remasters regardless. It's bee...
Was No Mans Sky broken at release? This is the first I have heard about it.
If you are insinuating that No Mans Sky was using false advertisement then you are talking about hyperbole. Because not only can all of those claims easily be disproved by rational arguments, but they did it in a court of law.
It seems you are making the false equivalence between the enjoyment factor you get out of a game and it's marketing.
A game market...
The Shadow of Mordor debacle was debunked ages ago.
Just as with this, it is all uneducated outrage.
People complained that they had extended the grind for Shadow of Mordor to entice microtransactions. A huge flaw in that is that spending money on the game did not in any way shorten that grind. Not even a single second. The way progression was designed made it so that it was impossible to progress faster even if you bought high level orcs. These packs wh...
