I agree. XBLA has had a great flow of content over the years (including the recently released dust, which was superb).
I enjoy the Xbox experience, and hope the F2P games can set a new standard of quality for the medium.
I was thinking of that same model for when that ascend title comes out. I was prepared to pay standard arcade game pricing, so if its a fun game, I am open to paying that amount for content
Although I do agree these are not "free to play" in its essence since you need an XBLG membership to play them...it is nice to see them adding additional value to the current XBLG model.
Normally, the big issue of XBLG is being able to play online and the party chat system. Tossing in some "free" games does make it more appealing. Hopefully they toss in some good ones.
I don't see how tossing some bonus content to the current gold memb...
Amongst the four, yes. But in comparison to WFC, there were so many less characters, hardly any skills, etc.
Health siphon, shockwave, stealth, etc all gone
Campaign: Major step up, very well done, great pacing and variety.
Escalation: Definite downgrade, little to no true character variance, NONE of the customization that the MP got, etc.
Yes, it does.
Its their culture. Its their game. And its their right to make the characters however they want to.
If you want something different, go buy it.
If you want this, buy it.
I haven't got a Vita and can't say if its lineup sucks or if it stellar.
What I can say is this: Don't brag about a systems library with games that aren't even out yet.
Ill pass. The DLC looks alright, but nothing that says OMG must buy. And since the series has ended and we know the outcome, the minimal impact (if any) of these events kind of takes way from the relevance.
Considering they are gutting the "spirit" of AoT and going for an "uber serious and mature" direction, I will pass on this one.
I liked the tongue in cheek bromance adventure of the first two. Changing this into a typical shooter makes the appeal lessen for me.
Jeanne d'Arc was amazing ! Great pick.
Sad to see so many titles on handhelds, wish the consoles got some love with these kinds of games. Cant be hard to port to XBLA can it?
This is one of the most unique top ten lists in some time. Kudos site.
And I agree w FF8, Lagunas story was very engaging.
I noticed something about the "girl gamer" and "guy gamer" issue. It is mostly involving either juvenile gamers or juvenile minded games (usually 18 and under, bad sadly sometimes with older gamers).
When you grow up (mentally, should come with age) you are supposed to mature.
Hobbies can be enjoyed by both genders, and all races, and both sexual orientations. Shoving it in peoples faces will only make them annoyed with you.
Amen ! You can't ask to be accepted and to have equality rule, then give yourself your own special class and act like you arent being a tool.
Gaming is a passion of mine, and I am glad to share it with other like minded guys and gals.
This OMG GIRLS RAWR stuff is juvenile and sad.
Amen. Women like her are whats WRONG for the gaming community, not whats right.
I am proud that my friends, male and female, dont make seperate magazines, clans, sessions, etc.
They learned as a child to play together, not apart. And unity comes from being united, not seperated.
And I lol'd at the refined and eloquent part. You made my day sir !
No we won't. This isn't coming out on consoles, so all of us who play and love gears on the 360 won't even get the chance to love or hate this fortnite.
Im not surprised.
We already see a truckload of seperation amongst gamers with all of the girl gamer articles, clans, groups, etc, this isn't that different. Another form of gamer seperation.
One day, gamers may come together and look past gender or sexual orientation. But it apparently isn't this day
Post of the day right here.
Amazed I haven't seen a "3/5 are Multiplatforms" post yet.
(Personally, as long as it appears on the system in anyway, its fine as far as I am concerned. Just remember seeing a lot of posts like that when any 360 games to look out for list appears)
AC and DUST have my attention as far as this list is concerned.
Epic isn't happy to wait. There is a reason their new game fortnight is PC exclusive, its due to the tech/UR4.
Great list !
I haven't maxed any of these though, as I don't see achievements that aren't fun on some level as worth my time.
But I know a few good buddies who have competed Gears 3, took them MONTHS of CONSTANT Gears 3. I love Gears...but I like playing other games also. No completion for me !
