Well written blog, I am very nostalgic when it comes to gaming but I do embrace the new games if and only if they move gaming forward. I am sad though to see free unlockables, mini games, and map editors go the way of the dodo. I guess that is why I play indie games not because they are better than mainstream but because it takes me back to my childhood days. The sense of adventure, creativity, and being engaged to a game is what is really lacking with most not all mainstream games. ...
I highly agree
I enjoyed your article well written but I disagree that games should be fun, the answer is are games engaging. When I played "The Walking Dead" I wasn't having fun ;however, I was engaged in the game through its heartbreaking story. Independent games are truly breaking new ground like " To the Moon" a game about marriage, your loved one having a mental disease and loving her despite her flaws. "Gemini Rue" a game about the alterations of memories,...
4K for the PC version damn, oooh lucky bastards that own a 4K TV set. I wonder if it would have Oculus Rift support now that will be sick. VR exclusively to PC.
I will play this on PC, but I am starting to see that survival horror is finally returning to consoles. Last generation it was pretty much Alan Wake, The Walking Dead, and Limbo. Dead Space was an action game with horror elements like Bioshock. On the PC it was Amnesia franchise, Doorways (not very good, it was ok an amateur experience at best). Lucius was decent at best but it does have the coolest setup and that of the anti christ similar to the movie the Omen. Lone Survivor whi...
Ok thanks for the tip
I wish player choice was as good as you described. Heavy Rain comes to mind were every choice affects the ending, story progression, etc.
What are you talking about I am confused
Stomping Lands will solve it see unlike dino crisis were you kill dinosaurs Stomping Lands makes the gamer become part of the prehistoric age by riding galliminus, a triceratops, even a tyrannosaurus Rex. Want to gather fruit or seeds well you could sneak by during the dinosaurs eating each other. Hell if you don't want to carry supplies why not use a dinosaur as a pack Mule. Ok you get the picture right oh you can set traps make fire using stones and sticks no wait you can fish an...
I believe trespasser or dino horde have what you are looking for.
Guys I know that this game is a PC mmo but is not based on the medieval age thank heavens is called stomping lands. It has co-op and dinosaurs which you can ride the dinos, use them as pack mule to carry your resources and food be able to use them while fishing basically pulling the fish net out of the water with the fish of course. Set traps to capture these reptiles, allure carnivores to your set up trap or able to sneak by while the dinosaurs are eating one another. Build your hut,...
Movies are you talking about mainstream blockbuster films or foreign films. There is so many movies some good some bad. The Korean version of Hansel and Gretel amazing check it out. The Thai film chocolate is riverting check it out. Music I am not going to say anything about it due to the only time I listen to music is when I am driving so I could be listening to old ass songs. The PC platform is the only platform to deliver true virtual reality gaming . In five years from now the ...
So is anyone paying attention as to what is going in the electronic/technology industry or no one wants to see consoles go the way of vcr. For those that don't know here is a quick list :
Duo Core Smart Tvs (go to Sam's Club Best Buy or better yet Fry electronics)
Cloud gaming via Playstation Now
Oculus Rift virtual reality is born
Smartphone with eight core processor (Samsung Galaxy 4 International version damn it)
Smart...
I love your blogs and comments you are a smart guy but I truly don't see a 9th generation. Is a 10 core processor really necessary for gaming no. What I see is Virtual Reality replacing consoles and the PC becoming the only hardware available this doesn't mean the big three are gone it only means that Sony Microsoft and Nintendo will offer cloud based services through your quad core smart tv. Yes there are duo core smart tvs I saw them on Sam's Club. Basically you will only bu...
I don't see it (console gamer vet) not because I hate consoles but what new can be done on new consoles without becoming a PC plus it set it apart from the previous console or smart tv/phone. If the only thing you can come up is new games then a 9th generation console is unlikely.
Time will definitely tell, Microsoft passing on Heavy Rain for the story damn that's weird. I mean the survival horror games can easily be ported to consoles and can appeal to the console gaming audience is just strange that the console manufacturers haven't approved a survival horror game. Anyhow maybe this generation who knows.
Small teams are best if this situation were to arise meaning easy to manage, fix whatever issue the game has without the need of making a Skype meeting with the American team and Japanese team of game developers mumbling and arguing about themselves.
Except it only applies to England not in Japan or America yet.
Woah the British Government stepping in to help out the gamers, that is clean. First the ability to trade for Steam games now a refund plus fixes for your digital gaming library. So now in England whenever a person buys their gamesdigitally they can get a refund for say game plus the game will be fixed immediately by the game developer if the game has any issues. Ok when are this laws implemented in America damn it.
Please please please please look over the law called "THE FIRST SALE DOCTRINE" under this law the consumer has the legal right to buy used physical products like video games in physical form, trade, resell, etc. Once we as gamers understand this law we can move to the next step which is the real challenge to update the law for the modern age. Basically implement it onto digital distribution.
