@Fin_The_Human AAA is not subjective. People get confused because it has a dual meaning and the circumstances are similar.

A critically acclaimed game can be a AAA title. As a sign of respect a way of saying even with those limited resources look at the awesome game they made? Also can be called a critical darling. If it is a retro style game it is indie for same reason.

However a game from a big publisher well known developer big budget big team heavily adve...

"Tabata ONLY significantly only altered the beginning"

ONLY altered the BEGINNING of the story

How much is the beginning? We don't know how long this game is though I suspect being an action rpg it will be shorter (which is I am not criticizing it for) I am just trying to gauge how long the "beginning" will be

How much of the fundamental start in which we are introduced to the protagonists, thei...

I hope to be wrong but as soon as it was officially announced that Tetsuya Nomura was directing the Final Fantasy VII remake I had a really bittersweet feeling. It felt like they took their top director plucked from mid-development on not one but two games he was working on Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III both his babies both built with the same template and formula action based rpg inspired by Kingdom Hearts.

Something that we all originally hissed at until we realized ...

No Brotherhood was when the cracks started to show. It's all downhill from there. Brotherhood was still good but the quality between II and Brotherhood are night and day. As is the length of the game. As is the difficulty of the game. As is the size of the environments. As is even the Animus Menu detail. As is everything else. Brotherhood had a great twist and it was still good. It just wasn't ACII and the first time I noticed something was "off" with these yearly releases. ...

You mean like where it is listed? In the Opinion Piece section? On this very page right next to the person who typed it? Anywhere else you need it?

I agree. So much agree. One of my all time favorite games. Not one game in the series has come close to even half as good as ACII not even Armored Core 2 which was decent as well.

Wow it isn't often a headline sucks so badly that I have no desire to so much as click the article.

No really let me illustrate it properly. Even the most crazy incendiary headlines where I can see constant comments of people saying the article is crap and how dare they say ____ I will still check out to give the benefit of the doubt.

So you must of won some kind of award here because there is NO way I am checking out an article when your ignorance is dem...

Squaresoft was a great company Squareenix still makes great things every once in awhile but they are a massive company now. Not great not bad just everywhere.

Just Cause 3 Deus Ex and Tomb Raider do not affect Final Fantasy in anyway.

Squareenix publishes quite a bit now far more then they actually develop. Those 3 games are games they publish they don't affect Final Fantasy being developed in anyway. The help the stock portfolio for the company sure but ...

Hmm well this is a shame. Once upon a time Final Fantasy Versus XIII was my most anticipated title. Nothing came close. I knew however that it wouldn't be releasing anytime soon so I enjoyed other games while I waited. I figured it would probably release about 2 or 3 years after Final Fantasy XIII came out. When the two games were announced at the same time I was always more interested in Versus XIII. Then XIII-2 started development and we were told Versus was still on the way. Then we go...

Of course with popularity we also get idiots like Anita Sarkeesian trying to villify our medium and exploit sheep. She is the anti videogaming equivalent to what Fox News is to politic's and Fox does their own contribution to the war on videogames.

Wii had some great games the WiiU has some great games. Neither are good systems. They are hardware that isn't at the level it should be that is still successful because in the case of the Wii (they sold and marketed it specifically to people who didn't play or barely played videogames, to get the family involved, they also claimed it had the easiest to use controller. A "fact I have NEVER found to be the case maybe it's just cause I am left handed by I find it the most diffi...

I see a lot of fanboyism complaints about this article. Did anyone read the whole thing? I found maybe the first two paragraphs absolutely laughable with misinformation and poorly informed views. The rest is not half bad. It's not exactly a great article but it's far from a fanboy one (of one way or another) It just outlines some information from Nintendo and theorizes stuff.

When people scream fanboy in these articles since this is N4G chances are they are defending ...

Bravo to Nvidia I would do the same damn thing.

This whole falling out between Kojima and Konami is one of the worst events to happen in gaming in a long time. That and Satoru Iwata's death and no I am not comparing the two just saying both have really upset me you can't compare a developer falling out with their publisher with one of gaming's biggest forces dying at such an early age R.I.P. Satoru-san.

What I am saying however is that for a nation f...

What world do you live in where you think you can get over 3x the standard storage space for another 50 dollars? I could be wrong about this but at least when I last checked a used PS4 for 380? so for another 100 on top of that you get a 2 TB HDD instead? Keep in mind refurbished isn't used. You are far less likely to have an issue with a refurbished console then a used one. I used to work for Gamestop but never will again and frankly I don't buy any systems used ever unless they are ...

(There is no order just games I am interested in)
No Mans Sky (I lied thats the top one)
Metal Gear Solid V (Though I won't be paying Konami for that one due to ousting Kojima in their pettiness. Whatever their reasons he is the creator of Metal Gear period.)
Rise of the Tomb Raider (which I will get next year on PS4 and am fine with waiting for Microsoft paid to make the game we should be lucky we are getting it at all)
Persona 5 (Shin Megami Tensei is one...

Full disclosure haven't read the list and probably won't as the one game per page thing is something that irritates me as well. That and the last top 10 list about videogames ruined a major event in a game I hadn't finished yet so really I am more paranoid to than anything.

I did however read every comment before commenting to get an idea of what is and isn't on the list.

I was a fan of the Assassin's Creed series keyword here is was. Sinc...

Wow as I was watching this and the WTF moments kept adding up I said to myself I am going to just comment. "This looks like something David Lynch would make." As soon as the youtube video finishes EVERY additional "next video" is some kind of David Lynch video. Did he actually direct this?

Yup! He did!

Well I read your article and came on here to defend you from everyone yelling clickbait at you but realize I am 3 days to late in doing so >< Thankfully though you cleared up the misunderstanding on your own!

I have been on off/on journalist for years but haven't done much with it I never thought your article was clickbait I immediately understood the intention behind the message.

Now if I had clicked your article and after it loaded I was presented...

It's sarcasm. Were I still working at Gamestop and you were a customer I was randomly telling this to it would be properly conveyed but in text I apparently fail at it and have much to learn.

I have been saying for a solid year and a half or so that once the xbox games with gold hype dies down now that Playstation Plus is mandatory for PS4 we can expect the vast majority of games featured in the service to be indie games. More often than not I defend the indie games when ...

HOLY CRAP! This lineup is amazing! O_o

Who needs Guilty Gear Xrd or Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate for free titles when we get 3 amazing games instead!

First we have Rocket League! Which though it hasn't released is fair to say is going to an amazing title just as good as the critically acclaimed hit game Monster Madness: Grave Danger!

Then we have Styx:Master of Shadows, a gem so amazing that despite releasing a year ago I hadn't e...
