I sadly know the feeling, but this has become an "issue" for me only this generation (3 games behind, I think, in my pile of shame). I've got just as much responsibilities as the next gamer: job(s), bills, relationship, etc., but nothing I haven't handled before.
My problem is simply that I lack the motivation needed to start one up, because a lot of games kind of felt the same to me this gen, which is why I got a Switch. Fanboy it up all you want, but it helps me s...
In my opinion, L.A. Noire is an interesting, but flawed experience that stumbled in the right direction. Not a failure or masterpiece, but a slightly above average game that isn't for everyone. If a sequel were to be made I would imagine it would be one of the gems of the year.
Video games being art is always going to be highly debatable depending on who you talk to. I do think gaming can be experienced, but I don't think we're at the point of maturity in the industry for it to be an accepted art like film yet.
I do believe the gaming industry does need a shared grading system, though, something better than everyone finding their own framework or system and using it. Things would be more fair across the board, I'd imagine, but that would probabl...
I actually don't have a preference as long as you review it fair. In my opinion, gaming journalism has went downhill since the last generation had the social critic boom, so objective went out the window, but I don't let that deter me on reading someone's review.
If I need a score I generally go to a few sites and tally my own score. Admittedly, though, I hardly look at reviews nowadays as opinion swayers, they're more like road maps.
Triple A gaming, no. My money would be on no form of quality management that leads to overspending for a developer.
The battle continues. Nothing here we all don't know, and he's going with the other entertainment argument: the cost-per-hour metric. No entertainment should be broken down like that! So if movies are $3 an hour (his words) then by that very definition a bluray should be $6? That's a crappy argument, pal.
Okay, let's think about this: what can they do with a $70 video game that you can't do with a $60 one? Honestly I can't think of anything, so if prices rose...
This was a great learning experience for Disney. Maybe next time they hand out a license it will be to a competent developer?
Okay, the broadcaster battles the viewers, because they decide the broadcaster's progress by what weapons they receive, how they move, and what enemies they face. Interesting. In my day that was just called multiplayer, but at least I could hit the viewer(s).
No we probably don't need another one, but sadly EA is counting on us all to forget, so this topic shouldn't be pushed aside either. All players should be aware of this and pass it along, just as gaming journalists need to prove their worth. Never forget. EA needs a push and the industry needs a reminder about this problem before microtransactions are eventually everywhere.
No one likes to be wrong, so debating on which game is better will always be there, whether we share one platform or two.
Since the beginning of rivalry in gaming its always been about trying to up your competition. Make something better than them and, generally, they do or they make something equally great and gain a new fanbase.
Those games then inspire those very players on their system of choice and they make something different and the process continues. My point is ...
Not sure which I love more: seeing passion projects like this come to life or realizing the impact of an amazing game I played as a kid is still cherished by the community.
Definitely no right or wrong here, but I'm going to side with Zelda on this one.
The best part about this "argument" is that both games are fantastic.
Great to see a lot of the industry unite, but like I've said before, don't buy the game or this means nothing. Keep the pressure on guys!
I do agree with some of the reasons, which were part of what makes Odyssey fun, but to say it's the best Mario game overall is a no-go. Of course, everyone has their favorite(s), but the original Super Mario Bros trilogy, Super Mario World, or Yoshi's Island are far too great to let this game be pushed over them.
C'mon! Who didn't see this coming? This holiday season is going to be very interesting for the Big 3. Cannot wait to see the results and the comments that follow.
Nice, but the job's not done. Keep pressure on EA is key, as they may be hoping to build sales before slapping it back in. Don't buy the game. This speaks louder.
Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said, so have a happy birthday and please relax.
I can see this as more likely to happen than not. Afterall, the Big N did say last year that they were going to pursue other avenues with their IP to broaden its reach.
Love Advance Wars, so I'm ready for this promising game. I'm needing an Advance Wars fix and no matter how many times I smack the crook of my arm and revisit my collection they're just not new.
So, 500 spoiled five to eight year olds love microtransactions and paid DLC? Well now we all know where EA must go for polls on big decisions.
