I'd add Gothic 4, Dragon Age 2, and Two Worlds 2 to the list. All those have potential to be killer PC titles.
I agree with the "why is Cammie Dunaway here" sentiment. She was just doing her job the whole time she was with Nintendo and well seeing as how they made a bunch of cash during her time there. Gamers bitching about her shows how whiny some gamers can be and does not reflect badly on Cammie herself IMO.
Now I have to buy a 360 controller with a better d-pad. I can't wait to see updated screenshots.
I concede to your point. I did read the whole list before my original post and gathered my opinion from seeing games like Limbo, Red Dead, and Batman in a top 100 of all time. I reread and looked and the release dates, they span a good sized gap.
I think the people who made that list are in their teens or early twenties. Barely any love for older games.
If the problem is piracy, just release the PC version through Steam and Impulse only. Every serious gamer I know who plays through a PC gets most of their games through there anyway.
That is annoying though. The PC version really was better than the console. And I liked the top-down view, it made the game actually feel like it was derived from Baldur's Gate.
If the game still has the mood and aesthetic of the trailer I'll be happy. I have heard the developers are very aware of what long term fans want and are trying to please them. Most of the people who have seen the game in action at E3 say it's the real deal.
I hope Nintendo brings this and Xenoblade to the States. they have been finicky with what titles they do and do not publish here.
I think over-hyped is more appropriate than over-rated. You can't really rate something that isn't out yet. It seems pointless to even talk about the quality of some software that has yet to come out.
He tells people who cry about nothing to shut up, that's five stars in my book. I actually like that in Destructoid's overall demeanor, they make fun of and ridicule gamers that have nothing better to do than complain about trivial things.
All we really saw of the game was a quick tech demo of the controls and a few environments from a montage, so far I like the idea of the visuals being grounded in Impressionist art. You shouldn't judge the game or art style until the its fully released. Then you can complain; just sayin'.
One console allows too much room for consumers to get exploited. At least with an alternative we can still play games and not support a company we think is crap. And there was some strong diversity in this console generation with Nintendo, at least there was until recently.
The article seemed like PR spin. I'll give Sony credit for at least trying to integrate motion control in games that don't require my family or children to play. I think Microsoft just went down the Wii best seller list and churned out a game based off of the top ten.
I can put up with family-fun from Nintendo because I at least get the impression that they actually care and want to make as many people happy as possible with their casual games, but Microsoft comes of...
If Microsoft won then we all lose.
Sony and Nintendo fans can both brag about this one. X-box fans now know how Nintendo fanboys felt two years ago. Personally Nintendo made me a bit more giddy, so much franchise revitalization!
I hope Pit does less talking, but great show all around.
Nintendo is my most anticipated show at E3. They keep good secrets and prevent leaks so they almost always have a surprise. Plus four new rpgs, Zelda, The Last Story, Xenoblade, and Golden Sun DS!
Love the art, I can't wait to hear more on this one.
I'm suspending judgment on the tech until I try it. Trying it may take a while since they have yet to announce a game that seems remotely interesting. I can't see a large casual crowd getting into this if they already own a Wii though, plus it just seems so disingenuous when Microsoft tries to posit themselves as happy and family friendly.
I'd add Travis Touchdown, my favorite anti-hero.
