The only limited edition console I wish I had is the white Panzer Dragoon Orta Xbox. It's nothing special, it's just a white Xbox with some graphics and the Panzer Dragoon Orta logo in the corner, it doesn't do anything unique or cool, it isn't the prettiest console (having the original Xbox as a base certainly didn't help either). But, it is the first limited edition console I was on the internet and that I actually wanted, and that's what makes it special to me.
According to VGChartz (yeah, I know they aren't super reliable, but they're usually a decent estimate and the only data available until NPD numbers are out), Black Ops 3 beat Battlefront at retail by a large margin on all three platforms Battlefront launched on.
On the PS4, the total for Black Ops 3 is at around 7.6 million units sold, with around 750K units sold in their last week of available data. On the other hand, Battlefront had a total of about 4.3 million unit...
To claim that the Wii was a "huge mistake" for Nintendo is pretty ridiculous. Not every one liked it, but it sold extremely well and, most of all, allowed Nintendo to make a lot of cash. I wouldn't be surprised if the Wii were one of the most profitable consoles from any manufacturer. It didn't get the install base of the PS2, and didn't have the high attach rate of other consoles, but the manufacturing costs were low enough for Nintendo to make money on every units sold...
It really depends on what your expectations were and what types of games you usually are interested in. I see Ni No Kuni 2 as a big game, but it's not a big seller and many people have little to no interest in JRPGs in general.
Overall, I think they did well.
I wish they focused on a single player component as opposed to making it a multiplayer game as I don't see it getting a big player base. Reminds me of Army Men Sarge's Heroes, hopefully it plays better though.
I would have hoped for a RE 5 and 6 remaster collection. I know a lot of RE fans didn't like these games, but they were enjoyable co-op experiences if you didn't take them very seriously. I'd probably buy them on PS4 or Xbox One if they came as a reasonably priced package.
What I don't get is why plenty of MS-published games aren't backwards compatible. Crackdown 1 and 2, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon and Ninety-Nine Nights are all games I'd enjoy on my Xbox One, all published by MS, yet MS have yet to make them compatible.
Maybe the reviewer thought the game was a 9.5, but deducted .5 because of the weak story, thus the 9.0 score.
To each their own I guess.
Nintendo aren't the only ones who released an updated model, the PSP-1000 only had half the RAM of the following models.
And, just like they did with the PSP, Sony could release an updated SKU for the PS4 that would improve loading times/overall performance without dividing the install base. It doesn't have to have its own exclusive titles.
It could have slightly higher clock speeds, smaller die and come with an SSD or an hybrid drive like the Xbox On...
The title is right, the NX doesn't have to be as powerful as the PS4. That statement is true, as long as Nintendo also doesn't need the NX to sell.
Look at the facts, the NX will launch at the earliest next year, a full 3 years after the Xbox One and the PS4. By then both of these consoles will have a very solid install base and rely mostly on very traditional games, by which I mean playable on a single screen with a standard controller. The NX will come out with no ...
I think that for me to finish a game requires the game to reach some balance, and for me to get my hands onto it at an appropriate time.
As you grow older, you usually have more obligations and simply can't spend as much time gaming as you would as a child. You also, once again usually, have access to a lot more disposable income and can therefor buy plenty of games. The moment a campaign gets boring or overly repetitive, I prefer moving on to the next game; no point wast...
Can't speak about/for Polygon as I don't really frequent their site nor do I usually read their reviews, but Jim has usually been honest and genuine in his reviews and opinion pieces. I don't always agree with him, but I don't think he gave Mad Max a low score to get hits (his website is ad-free and doesn't benefit from the added traffic) or make a name for himself.
We just have to accept that not everyone will have the same opinion of each games, that ev...
Well John Wick is already a playable character in Payday 2, I guess they've been interested in making a video game adaptation of it for quite a while. And they were the ones who worked on the Riddick games, which were some fine movie tie-ins. And John Wick is getting a sequel, and the first one was actually pretty good. If done right, this could have a lot of potential.
Forget the Pro 4, the Surface Book is where it's at, mostly thanks to the discrete nVidia GPU.
I don't mind multiplayer games, League of Legends, DOTA2, CS:GO, WoT or TF2 are all MP only games and I played them for hundreds of hours. But here's the thing, none of them asked me a steep $60+ entry price, and none of them gave me the impression that the servers would be a wasteland 6 months in, making my $60 investment worthless. I have absolutely no faith in Ubisoft keeping the game up to date with content updates for more than a few months, and the base game only has a handful o...
I think the difference lies in the initial content compared to what comes after as DLC.
When you purchase Call of Duty, or most titles with season passes, you get most of the content day one, and the DLC adds some content over the lifetime of the game. With Hitman on the other hand, it seems like we're getting some content at first, and we'll have to wait to get the full experience. And sure, they can boast a huge number of user-created contracts, but at the end of th...
The core gameplay is good, but sadly the game is currently plagued by matchmaking and host migration issues, which to be fair, is to be expected in a beta.
I'm also somewhat unsure about whether or not it will have any kind of longevity. This game relies almost exclusively on its online component, and once the servers begin to empty a few months after launch, I can see it being like Evolve. Unless it is packed with maps day one, I simply don't see the value of a fully...
Rather than look at the percentage of indie games, I would presume big publishers are looking at how sales are divided. You can flood the market all you want, if big publishers are still getting most of the revenues, they have no reason to fight back.
To each their own, but I believe Lara Croft GO, Hitman: Sniper, This War of Mine and Tales from the Borderlands (although not mobile exclusives) were overall better offerings.
I liked Fallout Shelter, but I also feel like it relied a bit too much on microtransactions and made it clear that paying user would get more out of the game. While there's nothing wrong with a game developer trying to make some cash, I still prefer to buy a game with no MT, or at least one that doe...
