Red Bull, the drink of champions
OT
I eat trail mix and drink flavored water if I know I'm gonna game for a long time.
To save a hit on the article, and in the shortest sentence possible: play the game.
Not to troll or sound like an a-hole, but I'm gonna wait post game release before I get excited because I know there's going to be some sort of game-breaking glitch(es) that need to be ironed out, and I've been burned with the Fallout series (Skyrim I waited to purchase, and one glitch I've encountered requires me to start a new game) and if the game delivers I'll pick it up.
I'm part of the $100+ million it made; one of the best games I've played in a long time, and very different to.
"The downside is that once the next episode airs all events relating to the previous episode will be gone. This has made many people very unhappy. But with most things, time will tell how this works and if players will be as angry as they are right now." (From the article)
How many shows from the dawn of tv didn't reference much from previous episodes, and yet "now" it's an issue? I swear the majority today will find ANYTHING to whine/bitch about...
"Some argued that a longer console generation would be beneficial because once developers hit that graphical plateau, they would be able to concentrate on making better stories." (From the article)
Back in the 16-32 bit era of gaming, those consoles/companies would like to have a word with all the developers today. I mean seriously if people are THAT stupid to believe that, they'd believe anything. Games like Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5, The Walking De...
Oh it's Kotaku, must be another slow day for them.
I'm surprised Tekken 3 didn't make the list; or Xenogears. I did contribute to GT 1 and 2 though :D
@dc
No I'm not doing a copy/paste I read from another person/post, I'm talking from experience of currently owning a PS3, and some older gaming consoles dating back to the NES days. Everyone has the option to use their console as they see fit; my point is too many people focus so much on "non-gaming" aspects that they forgot what a gaming console's original intent - to play video games. Chatting I can see to a degree if your playing with someone online...
@Dark
I agree 100%; too many people get spoiled on features outside what consoles original intent was - gaming. Before there wasn't cross game chat, or custom soundtrack, or in some cases internet. Now all of the sudden most gamers (not everyone so don't twist it) whine and complain because there's certain features they feel they "need" instead of something they "want." As of right now my vote goes towards the PS4 because Sony decided core ...
I wish they made an alternate way to obtain bits outside using actual money; other than that I'm at least glad they do some sort of maintenance to keep the game stable.
I contributed to Zelda, Tetris, Mario 1 and 3. I miss the old gaming days; also the lego look on some of the launch games brings back memories of trying to actually make them out of legos. I'm surprised Final Fantasy didn't make the list, about 90% of my elementary school had that game.
I'm assuming to prepare for the PS4, and to slowly add Gaikai into the service rather than wait till the last minute. If you read the article it says you can still log in to play however you can't access the store or content.
@Darth
There's certain games I also "need my fix" for, however there's always alternatives; currently I found my Zelda fix, its called 3D Dot Game Heroes. Every game at least has an alternative out there; no not a direct copy, or some low budget game, but there is something out there that can still provide a fix without having to support practices we don't find helpful towards the gaming community.
I agree with Godmars on this, first its Kotaku spreading rumors again, and second we as gamers need to address the issue that online DRM isn't a safe move for various reasons. If previous games/consoles had mandatory online requirements I wouldn't want to own them either; down the road I might want to play a game to remember the good times, or to speed run something, If the servers go down then it would be a drink coaster.
I miss the gaming era back in the 90's; ...
I'm surprised he put Streets of Rage 3 (series in brackets) instead of 2; there's certain things 2 had that I wish carried over to 3. Sonic 2 is another that made the list but not Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Super Street Fighter 2 on Genesis I felt was better than the SNES version; it's the only version to date with all 16 people to fight instead of just 12, and yes that even includes the arcade version.
I'm waiting on an alternate way to obtain bits outside having to pay real money for them, and so far searching online a lot of players aren't receiving the bonus bits they are entitled to. Outside that I had to restart 1 mission, but I found a legendary (and got the trophy to prove it).
I'm calling right now its some sort of "Fan response" to a what-if situation. I've never heard of such hype, and talk about someone not voicing a character in a game; I've heard of some voice actors who died, however not talked about at this magnitude. I wonder how different this would have been if Nolan North was to stop voicing Nathan Drake, or if someone else was to have voiced Cole from Gears of War.
Yes, if true someone else is voicing Big Boss he...
I agree with you on the whole system thing; and yes there is times where you can go to one store, buy a game, open it, trade it to GS for double/triple the worth. I'm speaking more of a general sense, and from a personal standpoint there's better shops that offer both cash and a higher deal. One store here offers new releases $50 (if it's a $60 game) within 14 days of release date, which to some means they "rented" the game(s); and if you haven't used the DLC codes...
I hate the sound more than the idea they're eating while on the mic; I've met some people who mute while eating (I just turn the mic off until I'm finished).
