So we have an article that is seemingly worded by a 12 year old. God help us if they are the actual one's doing the review. Then we wonder about the state of 'games journalism'.
Does this website add to the metacritic score? If so, sad faced all around.
Really looking forward to the game, and the previews so far people have said its excellent
There is no consistency in reviews, even the words used don't reflect the end score. The standards they use to judge one game might not be used on the next. No consistency means the whole thing is worthless.
Reviewer's should just give up on using numbers and make it a buy/not buy/rent or borrow experience
Cant wait to get it over here. Loved Ragnarok and Soul Sacrifice. So think I will like this a lot too :)
Watching the Knack stream at the moment. Actually looks really fun, lots of enemy types and strategies needed
For people thinking Chinese citizens cant afford a console because they are '3rd world'.
Makes me laugh, I guess you think all their population are standing in rice fields with horse and cart whilst wearing 'those hats Raiden wears'.
The truth is China is the biggest buyer of new cars in the world. Yes that is right, Chinese citizens buy more cars than the whole of U.S.
So if they can afford cars worth tens of thousands of U.S...
I really wanted there to be a physical release of this series. It deserves it!
This makes me smile.
Great to see Super Mario 3D World getting great scores! The 3D Mario games do tend to be very fun.
And I know Japan loves their FF13. But I'm hoping Lightning Returns is more my taste too :)
ooooo been waiting for this announcement. Take my money please!
This is major news. In fact bigger than anything for the past few years. You see the biggest problem with platform holders is their monopoly on content.
If you want to buy an Xbox Indie game you have to purchase it through them. The same with Playstation and Nintendo. That in turn allows them to set whatever price they wish.
But this introduces a competing party for that same content. Meaning competition, no longer a monopoly for that same content allowing a ...
Wow I see a lot of eBaying by Dark Souls fans/collectors in future. Impossible to get everything unless you pre-order at multiple outlets.
I'll be honest.. I'd get mine done :D
He didn't say 10 minutes. He said 10s of seconds. You won't see an install bar or anything, the game will just play seamlessly. Doing the cache/install as you are playing in the background. That initial 10s of seconds you will be waiting is to load the initial boot for you to begin playing (menus etc)
:)
It doesn't look like SEGA is going to be doing it.
So we need to pester Sony instead. They have recently opened a new studio who's sole focus is localizing/porting 3rd party games (they are currently doing Borderlands 2 on Vita). If enough people want it, they could localize Yakuza 5.
@giocorsi is the guy you need to tweet!
People get so carried away with the amount of characters on screen. Same models/AI in their hundreds has been done for years. It is called Dynasty Warriors.
A game never had a definitive construct. Just like a movie never has. It evolves over time. They are mediums.
Movies used to be simple too. Black and white affairs, no sound with large cue cards transcribing the sounds or punch lines of jokes. Movies evolved. I'm sure if you took a film maker from that era and shown him/her a large selection of the varied movies made today. He/She would say. These aren't movies.
But alas, the medium moves on. It leave...
Eugh...
Visual novel games. Notice I said visual novel GAMES. Are a genre of gaming. GAMES such as Zero Escape Virtues Last Reward, 999, Hakuoki etc are just that. Games.
Baseball is a sport. Football is a different sport. They involve vastly different activities but they are both sports.
Games are the same. They are not all the same, they do not conform to your narrow expectations of what a game is.
Dear Marcus Beer;
You and your 'journalist colleagues' should be expecting nothing. Nothing from the companies you are meant to be the enemies of. You are meant to represent us. The consumer. Your job is to cut through the bullshit to present us the facts. So we can then make an informed purchase decision.
Thus it is in the companies interest. The same companies you will be destroying with your 'words'. To hinder you along the way, to give you nothing,...
The synopsis of the anime totally put me off giving it a try. Girls and tanks... sounds very gun-otaku.
Is it actually any good? For those of us without the love for big guns and heavy machinery.
