Yeah I agree with your first statement there. Most of these aren't exactly groundbreaking. The nemesis system certainly is.
The portal gun, Batman AA combat and health regen is definitely up there. I'd add the zoom in left trigger effect from Resident Evil 4 was pretty groundbreaking.
The addition of the mako in this list I find odd. I mean I loved driving the mako but its not what I'd call something groundbreaking as other games had done somethin...
Just in case what? The whatculture boogie man gets ya? lol.
haha I totally forgot about Blasto. Comic Jumper kinda feels like a spiritual successor now that I think about it.
Bioshock 1 & Infinite would be on my list. Great intro and the world in each is so unique, immersive and well crafted.
First level of any Sonic game made before 1995 is also really replayable.
Heavens forbid you should have to lift a finger to click a button.
I don't think we need to stop any of these. All mentioned when done tastefully can be acceptable.
Why should developers conform?
That's better.
Giving an opinion with no reason or context is just as bad as writing an article on PS classics to play on Vita without explaining why you should play them.
Not to mention this writer is a junior at high school, he's a kid, give him a break.
@s45gr32 lol.
"Today is $60.00 plus tax plus DLC, plus microtransanctions, plus pay to play online = more expensive than back in the NES, SNES era"
Who says you have to buy every microtransaction and DLC? Usually games offer a Season pass at what, around $25? 60 + 25 = waaaay less than $160 or $252 adjusted.
"On the other hand PC gaming is dirt cheap."
And probably not economically viable for AAA studios. You keep...
You made heaps of sense before your P.S.
Clicking on the article doesn't generate revenue.
Yep, in NZ Megadrive games used to $160. Adjusted for inflation that's about $252.60 (using inflation calc.)
Now that games are $60-80 brand new I'm laughing at how people can disagree with WeAreLegion on that one.
I would put up an argument but seeing as the article doesn't really delve into this much I'm thinking why bother. :)
Chocobo racing in FFVII was pretty boring. Especially with all the effort required for getting the golden chocobo. Can't believe the writer didn't like Speed square.
FFIX with Quina chasing frogs or flies or whatever it was was bad also.
Why do people even talk to each other like this online? Goes way beyond the borders of sledging.
yep, I dig.
@forkymental:
I never said anything about LTTP nor any other Zelda. So I don't know how you came to that conclusion.
Your referral to that website as if it is gospel for an opinion that is completely subjective is fairly mad. lol.
Where are you pulling those review scores from? And since when do review scores dictate what games we should like?
You say opinions are opinions and the article is ridiculous but then go ranting about your own opinion as if it is fact.
Talk about a lack of respect for another persons opinion.
I would've placed Burnout 2 there instead of 3. I found the "after touch" mechanic to really slow down the gameplay and made the game a bit too easy and boring.
The misers always come out whenever this topic is discussed. lol.
@NewMonday, you're absolutely right on the money about padding game length with pointless crap to do.
I haven't played this game but I have played many games where I'm just wanting the damn thing to end. Although I play long ass games and short ones, I think there's room for both to exist.
Length does matter, but not always for wanting games to be longer. Some...
Good to see the Mako coming back into the fold. This article however...twitter journalism, really.
