I do agree with you, because labeling them was the right step, but they did it wrong, in my opinion, by making it too broad (as you pointed out).
"This label, or the interactive element, will appear on boxes for all games that offer the ability to purchase digital goods of premiums with real world currency. This includes features like bonus levels, skins, surprise items (such as item packs, loot boxes, mystery awards), music, virtual coins and other forms of in-game c...
The standard upgrade of graphics, more memory, 4k will have some kind of capacity, digital services will make a bigger splash as digital purchases grow, VR will continue to find its niche, and we will all argue about it.
ESRB, you had one job... and somehow you managed to still clock-in without being present. This is unbelievably stupid and you guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Where's your backbone and code of ethics now?
I 'member.
Say, do you remember when articles were on one page? I do, I 'member.
Whatever. No matter how you spin it, if you actually cared about playing, and took it seriously, you would have done it covered up in the first place. So don't give me that "I'm trolling them" garbage and save some dignity.
Thanks for the warning. Spielberg hasn't made an amazing film in 13 years, so I'm a little worried about this project (and Ready Player One). Of course, I hope to be proven wrong, but we'll see.
The ESA (Entertainment Software Association) wasn't invited, but I'm sure it is because they would make him look like a bigger idiot on the issue.
The last time I was awed by graphics it was Generation 6. The past two generations were just more of the same with each bringing clearer visuals.
Our focus, as I've said numerous times, needs to be gameplay. It truly is time for graphics to take a backseat, in my personal opinion. That's not to say graphics don't matter, they do in their own way, but to a lesser extent.
One Triple-A title is another generation's B, so graphics never really mattered. It's...
What is this crazy talk?! Just need to go back to the drawing board, because there's still plenty of stories to explore in the Lylat system - for both Fox and its universe.
Personally, I would like Nintendo to add elements from both the 64 version and Star Fox 2 with optional motion controls.
This is the second or third mobile developer Ubi has bought in the past few years. Looks like they're running toward the mobile market now, as opposed to the tiptoeing they were doing.
It's understandable to expand, but as long as they don't bring over those mobile mechanics there's no harm here. I would hate a repeat of the Konami situation and be able to look back on this moment and know this was our warning.
This article is just demanding a fight, but okay, I'll play along.
Xbox One will last just as long as this generation does, whether anyone likes it or not. If publishers and developers ran away from Microsoft then we would have a debate here, but this is clickbait as others have pointed out.
I understand the title is a great way to grab attention and the author had to put something out there, but with gaming as tribal as it is we don't need anyone stoking ...
Stop playing around, Vrabstin! You know it says, "Gotcha!"!
True. This situation harkens back to last generation when people bought into this garbage with DLC and microtransactions. A time when I pleaded pretty hard with both the community and developers not to give in to this stuff, that this type of muck was coming, but that was roller skating up hill because of the industry's new acceptance.
The time to truly do something was then, insisting they be free - an idea in its twilight now with a handful of developers - but the proverbial d...
So, Cold Coffee then?
Here we go again. And now it's just laughably sad.
Really, guys? Just games? Not bad parenting, the smut on television, someone's mental health, or our constant connected digital lives? Nope. Just games.
Man, if all problems are that simple I need to start blaming pizza for trying to make me fat.
For the best I'm sure, as it is a rather great concept. Here's hoping it's not like The Girl with All the Gifts where it insults the viewers' intelligence by assuming we have the memory of a goldfish.
Yes. Thank you! Glad I wasn't alone in the sinking boat when I griped for years about last generation's sins coming back to haunt us.
I truly hope things get better for digital content. Wish it were free, but that idea is in the twilight stages now. It is a shame you have to research what you buy, but that's technology, every television, phone, computer, and video game.
I've said once and I'll say it again: we need a digital commit...
I'm with you, because it is stupid, but when Konami made that mobile focused shift years back that was our warning. So microtransactions are going to work themselves in no matter what, not to mention they have profited ever since, regardless of what we say or lunacy they demonstrate.
The safety net we enjoyed is long gone after last generation with our departure into the mainstream and the sudden jolt in mobile technology.
Combating the issue by not buying the game is t...
Tomb Raider and Rampage look decent, so I may watch them. Just not in a theater.
You know, I didn't know a Dynasty Warriors movie even existed, but considering it is a Chinese production I suppose that's why.
Super Mario was pretty left field, but again, I'll hold my thoughts until the first trailer. Same goes for Sleeping Dogs and Sonic the Hedgehog.
In my opinion, no way, whether it's buying or playing.
I'm sure there's plenty of fans of mobile games that would gladly disagree, but I'll keep whatever portable device the Big 3 come out with until they are all phased out.
