Yes old people do spend hours and hours playing games on Yahoo or Facebook(my mother is one of those addicted to Farmville)
I still don't think that makes them gamers. A person who enjoys a game sure but gamer? No.
Here is why. Can you walk up to them and talk about how awesome something like Uncharted or Bayonetta or something is without them giving you a vacant stare having no idea what you are talking about? No you probably can't with very few exce...
LMAO i didn't think about that until now and now I have the same problem.
Not that it really matter she isn't really my type anyway.
Can I also mention how annoying it is when celebrities refer to themselves or are refereed to as gamers? They don't have the time to be real gamers and playing one game no matter how popular doesn't make you a gamer.
I can't stand crap like Paris Hilton going "Oh like I am So totally ...

The first game set a TON of benchmarks considering how early in the generation it came out. However this being the gaming industry that might as well been 100 years ago as the industry changes VERY quickly.
The problem with the game is that what was awe inducing and fun back then is no longer acceptable due to better games that have come out since then.
Here is an idea. Why not wait for the game to come out before asking if something is the fall of a company? Seriously It's a beta and no one has even played the single player. There is still a crap load we have not seen from the game and saying because the beta is really different that it's the fall of Bungie is just ignorant.
First off Dying for a game is retarded because then you can't play it.
That said the only game I would (Insert similar extreme situation here) for would be Persona 5. I would like to see some other games but most of them are more then likely a matter of when not if.
The only one on this list that really interests me is Jet Moto. That game in full HD with stunning graphics would be crazy. However the rest I don't care about(Legend of Dragoon) or are ...
The Uncharted comparison isn't exactly good. Considering the first Uncharted was a MUCH bigger critical success then Alan Wake has been so far.
That said critical success isn't what matters. What they need to see is how well the game sells. Reviews could trash the game it doesn't matter if it sells millions. Money speaks after all.
I personally am looking forward to checking out the game. It's been awhile since I played a good suspense game....
Seems you kind of missed the point of the first game. The tools you are given in LBP are the exact tools Media Molecule used themselves to make the game. As anyone who plays games should know game design is not a easy task. But that was the beauty of the game. They had everything the devs had and could make whatever they wanted given enough time and patience.
Those like yourself who found it too difficult could sit back and enjoy the incredible levels made by the community w...
If even half of the things that have been "leaked" about LBP2 turn out to be true that it's gonna be one hell of a good game. The first game is absolutely incredible and still going strong.
If they add alot of the stuff people want and more(which is more then likely what they are doing) the game will easily triumph over the first and be another incredible masterpiece of design.
Great article.
Every single point is totally valid and truly are the things that keep me from playing games online as many others do.
When I do play online I prefer to talk to the friends that aren't flaming morons on Vent or something so I don't have to deal with crap.

As I said the games auto attack is not perfect. Yes it works with weakness. However it doesn't priortize certain debuffs over others or certain buffs over others.
Here are a few examples. Fighting a Cactuar can be quite annoying. Unless you use Enfire to tear them up. Now if you use Auto attack the game will most likely cast Hatse, Then Protect and then finally Enfire. This 3 times over for each character is REALLY annoying and doin...
I hate these articles. The game plays itself blah blah blah. Anyone who has played the game until the very end and even post game knows the games DOES NOT play itself. Spamming Auto attack at that point is just like saying GO AHEAD AND KILL ME. You need to constantly be switching paradigms and in some cases using spells the games auto attack does not prioritize.
People seem to have a issue that you are not directly controlling them while your characters attack and that the g...
@planetweb
you kind of doomed yourself in your own statement. The GC didn't fail solely because it was a more technically advanced console. It failed because of the lack of 3rd party support which was a direct result of the name Nintendo has built for itself. It's a known fact Nintendo no matter how much they try to change this is seen as the Video Game Company for Kids. They have tried to change that impression with games like Metroid Prime and the darker more mature...
They didn't use the unreal Engine in Lost Planet 1. It was the first version of the MT frame work engine. The engine has since been refined quite a bit and Lost Planet 2 runs on MT Framework 2.0.
Every game capcom has made this gen with few exceptions has been on a version of the MT framework engine. Dead Rising, Devil May Cry 4, Lost Planet and Resident Evil 5 as well.
Even Marvel Versus Capcom 3 is going to be using the engine. However they haven'...
Heavy Rain is a beautiful game however it isn't anywhere near being Photoreal.
The main problem is the animation. Alot of the characters just have movements and face expressions that lapse into gamey looking territory. The game is capable of looking incredible. However it doesn't always live up to that. A good example is the load screens versus the game itself. Those close up load screens of the characters faces look incredible. However when actually playing the game...
And that would be a bad thing why? There are quite a few good Wii games. Tales of Graces for example looks incredible(just as good as Vesperia did) and it was on Wii only.
I for one would love to see that game come to PS3 or 360.
These issues are BS. SE already said(I think it was Kitase-san) That they would only do the remake if they could assemble a team big enough to do the game quickly(around 1 year although I bet it would take about 2).
If there was change it would be for the better. Perhaps making random battles go away and making it function more like XIII where you could seem enemies on the field. However the combat will remain the same. The one thing people need to keep in mind was there was ...
The main problem is that alot of the issues from the first game were never really addressed. The game still has odd controls the animations lock you in what you are doing(like getting shot makes it impossible to do anything). The first game had a decent story and while I haven't goten to play this one yet the reviews basically say it's a step backwards in that department.
The game seems to have been bogged down by the little things.
After watching feedback last night I have to say I am WAY more excited for RAGE then I was before. It sounds like a incredible game and by all accounts looks absolutely insane. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
Ok this does indeed sound interesting.
More interesting then the character is the mention of Aegis being in the game. This could end up being a full sequel to P3(While Persona 4 was a sequel in the same world it didn't follow the same story or characters).
The other interesting this is it says Aegis BEFORE Persona 3 Fes. So does this game take place after the events of Persona 3 but before the events of Fes? Being that it came from a Japanese magazine there is ALWAY...
It's basically just like SSFIV.
The differences are new characters(Tsubaki and Hazama) and tons of tweeks to the balance as well as a completely new story mode(follows the first games story mode from what I hear). I would assume better online play(which was nearly perfect in the first game) and other little things will be present as well.
