informed consumers anyways, the uninformed consumer which makes up the majority of people out there buying games may not know or realize any of this is happening. (people don't read anything about videos games i.e. Parents, relatives, etc.)
Yet the console makers might also want to be scared too because it is a big decision and as IGN and Pachter said that it will definitely create changes in sales of consoles who do or do not incorporate DRM in their console.
I really like what u said here, the Used game market actually does offer a way to improve the sales f regular industry by sometimes being an advertising figure.
I know plenty of times where someone had bought bioshock 1 used and are planning on getting Bioshock infinite new because of how much they enjoyed it, not because of some type of need to support the publisher or anything but rather just because they really want it.
I will also say that "why shoul...
I only referenced a rumor in the introduction as an example of inclining attention to DRM and to point out that the issue will only grow from this point forward looking into next gen. The rest of the article is pure differences in opinion where little facts and no rumors are referenced or needed to articulate a point. The only time a something was referenced was the bizarre entertainment shutdown by activision, and the game developer statements.

I've loved teh Grand Theft Auto series and the only game rockstar has ever disappointed me with was GTAIV, For me the reason was that the jumps between major story arcs and gameplay set pieces was too big for my taste, there always seemed to be an ocean of regular missions (which felt pretty boring to me) in between the good stuff! I didn't feel this with Red Dead Redemption however, red Dead developed it's story very smoothly and kept a solid pace th...
I like how this guy assumes everyone should immediately care about what he thinks about GTAV. the top news story today is why ONE MAN is not excited for ONE GAME... I would not mind this article if the title wasn't made with the cocky toen it has but rather a title like "A few reasons to be skeptical with GTA V" or "Will GTAV be just as Boring as GTAIV" would be a REALLY good title! (controversial though just as assumptive).
I do agree with many of the...
Another thing to note as well is that a video game's success is based more on the gameplay than on the story. Heavy Rain was a game that tried to make the more emotional and story driven aspect of the game the real reason to play it rather than gameplay. of course this attempt brought a lot of mixed reactions but in the end it showed that a game CAN be emotionally engaging (whether you got an emotional reaction out of Heavy Rain or not) it still sent a message saying that it is entirely p...
Emotional Storytelling is totally possible in Video games, if reading words in a book can bring emotion, and if watching things on a TV screen can bring emotion then who's to say a video game can't do the same? an interactive element should make it possible to be even MORE emotional than tv, movies, or books because the idea of setting the viewer in a position to alter the outcome of what happens brings more responsibility and guilt towards the player in the emotional moments of a gam...
2GB memory would be great to supplement the memory card, but the 3D just doesn't seem like it would be great despite sony's hard stance on pushing 3d products. the market just is not there for it and it's not a deal maker for the 3DS in my opinion.
@megaman Nerd,
Trust me, I've played and beat FFVII many times and yes it is a great game but that doesn't negate the fact that it is an extremely overrated game nonetheless. I will say this about Final Fantasy though, My favorite part about the classics (like FFVII) was the side quest and the open-world system it had. ever since FFX there has been less and less use of side quest and open world gaming in the series to the point on pure linearity.
FFVI...
I can give you 5 reasons why it SHOULDN't Happen,
1. There are better Final Fantasy Games that should be remade better that VII
2. Square has more than enough on their plate right now and I want to see FFVersus XIII and Kingdom Hearts 3 before we even begin to talk about anything with FFVII
3. more has been done for VII than has been done almiost any video game short of a full sequel, between crisis Core, Advent Children, and Dirge of Cer...
seriously? 6/10 there are things this game did that were a complete insult to all of video games, I have never been more insulted as a gamer by the complete lack of effort put into a game as well as the blatant examples of laziness on the developers part. This is either laziness or or rushing the game but I do know, this game SHOULD NOT have been released in its current state.
It is absolute BS that this game was released and its DISGRACEFUL that the uninformed will purchase ...
The article talks about de-humanizing the enemy but doesn't mention the other enemy besides the zombies, other survivors. if you want the ultimate humanization of an enemy in a video game, try other apocalypse survivors trying their best to make their way in whats left of the world. the desperation shown from them should be exactly what your looking for.
oh so not on this page, okay lol I was confused for a sec haha
which comments specifically?
Just saw this article and I may not be into WoW but I don't think 7 days is enough to get a good taste of the game.
I think the article is just "not judging this game by any means, but asking real questions about it before getting hyped up for this latest title from Hideo Kojima."
seriously guys I think ur bashing this article and gaming media prematurely here. let's face it, We don't know much about the game but when a trailer is released it is meant to give people a preview of what to expect. when someone doesn't like what they are expecting then that should bring ...
you caught me, that and I was covering my ass lol
Before Everyone starts freaking out at the title be sure to read the WHOLE article
its not taking a joke to far in the offensive way just in the way of reading too much into it
The Way I see it, if it's too expensive to bring BC to the PS4 this is ideally the best alternative that I have seen. People can complain all they want but to bring players the option to use GaiKai for BC rather than just not have anything is a big plus for me. All I want to know are the specifics!
