Hmmm free online gaming, fully backwards compatible, bargain bin prices, Steam Workshop (mods one click away with no Google search requirement, no virus/malware with these mods), Steam Green Light allowing gamers to vote for the obscure, diamond in the rough, Japanese indies. Pretty much giving game developers a second chance to getting their games onto Steam since Valve reject say games now is up to the community to get say games onto Steam. Bargain bin game making software al...
Sadly I have become more of a collector than actually playing games. I do still play some games here and there. Still knowing I got them on sale well it was money well spent. Hmmm still waiting for the games I promoted via Facebook, youtube and funded them which are " Among the Sleep", "Distance" , and "Consortium".
This is great news now I can make a dinosaur game in the modern age.
Ok besides DRM what has Valve done that is anti-consumer. Microsoft sold it's customers a broken gaming system with the ability to pay to play online charged game developers for updating/patching say games plus extra money went to Microsoft due to developers were forced to pay for the third DVD disk and fourth. Sony brought online passes, removed backwards compatibility to resell PS1 PS2 games. PS4, xbox one and wii u require day one patch. PS4 and Xbox One charge gamers to play onl...
Maybe in 2014 the PS4 and Xbox One may get its groundbreaking games. I hate to admit it but I got addicted to STEAM sales, Amazon sales I have so many games but so little time to play them all. Still Watchdogs, Among The Sleep, Consortium, and Distance are the games I am waiting the most.
I need to see more of Quantum Break. But Watchdogs, Ubisoft upcoming racing game and obviously Among The Sleep.
Watch Dogs is the one that truly looks next generation in terms of visuals /gameplay. Among The Sleep is also a game I funded and promoted on Facebook about being a 2 year old kid trying to escape from the nightmare he got into.
I am sticking with PC gaming skipping on next generation due to PC has exclusive genres meaning exclusive game libraries like survival horror. The consoles are only getting "the evil within" in contrast PC gamers are getting Asylum, Dread Out, Constantine, Among the sleep, Enola, etc. Now yes the PS4 is better than the PS3 faster loading times, automatic patches/updates but all in all is a small improvement from the PS3.
Good list I am waiting for the games I funded on kickstarter which are :
Consortium
Among the sleep
Distance
I am also waiting for Asylum, Dread Out, Constantine, Hawken to get out of bloody beta is been a year already why is it on beta.
Titan fall is on PC not exclusive
Is not just power but facepalming at how console gamers are ok with lack of backwards compatibility, pay to play online, pay high prices for games/DLC, also the lack of freedom..........
Nintendo 3DS is successful due to its great games but the Wii U is garbage no innovative new ips to speak of. So how does ninty get a B+ specially when CNET mentioned the Wii U as a not to buy product.
What amazing games did the Wii U released apart from a remake of a game cube Zelda game priced at $60.00, a Mario game which basically was Mario 3D land with cat suits. Come on Nintendo has been failing miserably since 2012 with the 3DS keeping them afloat thanks to its excellent video game software like pokemon x/y.
Sales based on retail alone not including the digital, catalog, and now export/import sales. Basically pretending to be financial analysts masters and failing miserably.
The wii u doing better how with a Zelda game cube remake, a Mario game that's pretty much the 3DS version of Mario 3D land with cat suits. The only game exclusive worth owning is the wonderful 101 and no third party support to speak off. In contrast I agree as far as the 3DS is concerned.
Microsoft F
Sony C
Nintendo D
Yes Nintendo a D due to its amazing effort as far as 3DS is concerned, fair pricing for both the hardware and software. Third party support, good online gaming, lots and lots of great games like pokemon x and y. It's the Wii U that brings Nintendo grade down, no third party support, no marketing, a remake of a game cube Zelda priced at $60.00 outrageous. Mario 3D world is the same Mario game as its...
Streaming is better due to being visually it allows me as a gamer to see what I need to do in case I get stucked. Reading is essential but if is about passing a certain part, I rather see it than read it.
While I agree connection issues have become part of the norm as far as Internet is concerned
Starbound and Wasteland 2 are unfinished games. I am enjoying Ni No Kuni and one of my favorite games happens to be Dust An Elysian Tail, Primordia, and the first episode of the wolf among us. Curse you Steam for falling for every bloody sale (^_-)
Steam Machines will capitalize on the shortcomings of the video game consoles and the consoles endless fees will drive gamers to buy a Steam Machine instead
