How did you come to that conclusion?

Red Alert 3 over Red Alert 2? As a matter of fact, Red Alert 3? The game was decent, but definitely not the best Command and Conquer game.

I expected them to recharge over time, but I'm happy to know it won't be the case. EXO abilities should be an add-on to the gameplay, not the centerpiece.

I've put around 35 hours in Godus, and quite honestly, while there is something very enjoyable about the game, Godus is a great example of great game design with poor execution, it truly is an exercise in frustration.

Two things are really keeping Godus from being a good game. First, the developers have shown over time that they wanted the game to be the same on PC and mobile, which means that mobile restrictions (in terms of horsepower) hamper the PC experience. This ca...

While a remastered Zelda or Mario would be the obvious choice, maybe they will surprise us. A remastered Eternal Darkness or even a remaster of Custom Robo with an online multiplayer could be great too.

I think microtransactions are fine, but not when it comes to full retail priced games. It seems publishers have been trying to nickel and dime us more and more lately. For example, I think that the idea of a season pass is fine, but I also believe it's bullshit when said season pass doesn't actually include all the content released during the duration of the season. A season pass should include all the DLC. As for microtransactions, they're usually cosmetic or give the player a bo...

Doubtful this will do anything. If SE made a deal with Microsoft, it will include, like most contract, a penalty if SE were to go against the terms they agreed on. Not only would SE not receive the money they have likely agreed to receive from MS for this exclusive, but they would actually have to pay MS. If there's one thing SE could do that would be more idiotic than making it exclusive, it would be this.

A few things to keep in mind :

Rise of the Tomb Raider will likely be less expensive to produce than the Tomb Raider reboot - they already have the engine running on current-gen hardware (as proven by TR definitive edition).

It's highly unlikely they simply gave away the exclusivity to Microsoft; Microsoft could be handling the advertising or could also be bankrolling the project altogether.

Finally, it's not impossible that Square E...

It'S the end of life for the last expansion, people have run out of content and are leaving the game. Numbers will be up when the new expansion comes out. There is, year over year, a decline in players, but there is little doubt that WoW will remain the dominant subscription-based MMO in terms of subscribers for the next few years.

And I have one reason as to why Unity will be the better game; lead studio on Unity is Ubi Montreal, lead studio on Rogue is Ubi Sofia. While they have collaborated on Black Flag, Ubisoft Sofia's previous efforts simply aren't nearly as good as what usually comes out of Ubisoft Montreal.

No they aren't. I'll take a good dub over any subs anytime. Notice I did say a good dub though. But I'm not mad or anything at the lack of dub for Tales of hearts R, I'm just happy it will make its way to NA. But I still feel a good dub is better than subs, and can also help the game reach a wider audience.

I'll be honest with you, I haven't played much of either the "original" or the Sigma games, as these are not games I usually enjoy much. But, from my understanding, the Sigma versions were updated versions of the original games, with a slightly better camera and added content. But the core experience was pretty much the same. If I'm right in my assessment of the situation, I'd say they were ports, not remasters nor remakes. It's not unusual for late ports to rece...

If EA's access plan is successful enough, you can be sure Ubisoft will be quick to join them.

The Last of Us Remastered is a great example of a remaster done well. Resident Evil on the Gamecube is a great example or a remake done well. Now spot the differences between TLOU:R and the original TLOU, and the ones between RE on PSOne and RE on Gamecube. While the former is mostly a technical update, the latter could almost be considered a completely new game.

For a very short instant I got my hopes up for cross save between PC and consoles, and that didn't last very long.

I already played D3 and its expansion on PC, but a few friends of mine are thinking about picking it up on PS4, cross save would have convinced me to re-buy the game.

What happened to physical items and the Prestige edition? They were not necessarily worth it, but at least they made the editions feel a bit more special.

I think that having smaller or newer teams working on HD remakes would be great for Nintendo. It would allow them to obviously have more games coming out, and could also be used as a training tool, both for the more technical side, but also in overall game design.

Let's face it, third party support is an issue on the Wii-U, and has been one for quite a while too; even the N64 was somewhat lacking in that department. If Nintendo wants its home consoles to thrive, they basi...

With the lines he was given to work with, and presumably the directives coming from Bungie as to what they expect from an AI in terms of delivery and emotions, I'd say he did well. We can criticize it all we want, but I feel the voice actor in this case isn't the issue; or at least not the only one.

While I understand your point, I have a very different way of thinking. I know I'll be playing the online MP for months if not more, and it's unlikely I ever decide to trade it in at my local EBGames. I'd rather always have it in my PS4 so it's always ready to play and I don't always have to reach for the disc or carry it along when I go to a friend's place.

When I buy a physical copy of a game, it's usually because I know I won't keep it and p...
