I would like to think they would both just get along fine. I personally don't think any one developer owns a mode or genre. Sure, there's a few that excel in certain things, but they don't own it.
Besides, games, like other mediums, "borrow" from others all the time in an attempt to make something better or from a different point of view. I'm sure there's some case-ins, but my point still stands.
For a quick example, the idea of Battle Royale co...

Despite what anyone thinks of Microsoft, you gotta tip your hat to them staying on top of backwards compatibility.

Everyone likes to think there's a bad guy in every industry and EA is too content with being that. Being the baddie has its perks, though, large publisher aside, they get tons of press and word of mouth.‎
Yeah, the only way they could rebuild themselves, in my opinion anyway, is making a string of finished product, dropping their digital content practices, and be nicer to the community, but that goes against their core of being cynical and greedy, so the answer is no.‎

Yes. Trophies will unlock for both players if someone fulfills the requirement, except for 2 of them.

No time to play? I hear you. That's how it goes. Life happens.‎ But I hope Lora Croft does bring you back over.

Now if you have time to play that quick bout of multi-player, you should have time for a quick walk in single-player. Don't do it every time if that's how you feel, but try it out every so often, like every other day. The point is: try. Don't be afraid of any game story sucking you in, relish in that; after all, you paid for those memories.

And after my date with Chris Brown, I went straight home.

A better question, Are Written Articles Dead? It seems ign loves video only these days.

It's definitely a shame traditional co-op has become so rare. There's just something special about having a friend next to you for cooperative play; it truly brings you closer to the experience.‎
Here's hoping this game helps to convince others to add a couch co-op option so that maybe we can have a traditional co-op resurgence.

I actually thought this was already over! Took awhile to get the answer everyone already knew was coming.

True in that aspect.

Now, technically, all of gaming is nostalgia. Think about it: you buy a game, new or not, and then you crave a sequel because of the experience you had on your first outing. You always keep trying to relieve your first experience, and with each sequel or we could say,"update," that experience receives you are left chasing it. If you find that fulfillment then it starts again with a new title in the series.‎

"Seeing a video game you once loved looking old and miserable is a little like visiting your grandparents' house; you still love them, but you can't help but feel as though they'd be better off if you put them back in their cupboard."

Man, I either need to worry about your grandparents or they're seriously small.

I digress, but if you want to enjoy your older games you just need to check your flat-screen television for a coax p...

Matter of taste really, as both are almost the same, except for the obvious graphics and online.
I personally love the Nintendo 64 cult classic, because, for me, there's no comparison. Not just based on what I played first, but the overall experience and references felt more fresh than the remake.

Wario Land is always welcome, and speaking of dormant IPs, Nintendo, keep digging because there's still some good properties and forgotten gems that need to see the light also.

This is crazy enough to want to play. There's even a trailer showing off some of the world with the old Zelda commercial "Have ye what it takes?"

Official sales or not, it is pretty solid to say that console sales have gotten more unpredictable.‎

Exactly. No system is immune to abuse. Too true.

Improvements are always welcome, and enforcing it correctly would be key -- the key, in fact.‎
What it's boiling down to is that this alliance of companies is a tight rope. The companies should enforce their own games, not form a pack that shares your data that could potentially extend beyond their own games. This kind of power is dangerous whether you play nice or not.‎‎

Like I said before, I'm on the fence about this. I don't hate it, I simply don't trust it until I get all the details.‎

I'm glad you brought that up. Yes, players do abuse certain features, which is why I don't trust this new system to govern it.‎
Essentially, block and mute are choice, whereas a system doesn't give you any. That in mind, with how people seem to act these days I think a person might be too quick to turn someone over to a ba...

I'm on the fence about this, because it is great and all that companies are stepping forward but we don't need more censorship.‎

I mean, all it's going to take is one person to misuse this by being offended by nothing and then players will stop communicating and draw lines in the sand.‎

To tell you the truth, the features to avoid this type of stuff were already in place. Block people, mute people, whatever, but use these tools instead of expe...

So, not a Shrines lover? That's fine. I'm sure a lot of gamers aren't. They didn't bother me.. well, except for the few with motion controls.‎
Besides a handful of other issues, like it seems to rain all the time, too few boss fights, weapons breaking easily, and the Master Sword feeling like a lie, I enjoyed my time with the game.

In my opinion, Breath of the Wild is not the best in the series. Top 5 for me, sure, but not the peak of my time with ...

Whether Nintendo published or third party, it sounds tasty.
