I would love to know a developer who isn't overrated according to you.

The reason I play Doom is to not get bad modern tropes like- walking sections, cut scenes, set pieces etc, all of which are a part of the games that author references.

I find this article borderline moronic.

Looks generic as hell. The Thor segment just looks like the shitty Thor game that came back almost a decade ago.

Not like any of the Sony or Xbox exclusives are for mature people (Except maybe Bloodborne). I feel those who call Nintendo games are for kids ask for superficial maturity. If you wanna play "mature" games, first-party games are rarely where it is at. Both Sony and Microsoft titles handhold people like ACTUAL kids through the entire game and have stories that try to create a sense of weight where there is none.

I also feel that if I had to give Zelda, Halo and TLO...

Your standard for "fun" only strengthens my perception that "Vote with your wallet" is a flawed logic when shit is bought and commended upon.

This is a delusional list indeed-

Platinum officially said they are going fully independent.

Team Cherry will also not be acquired considering their already established user base.

From Software will also most likely not be acquired considering 40% of their user base is on PC.

No idea how Origins can be played when not in the mood for playing games. I would not play Origins even when I feel like I want to play games. A game with uninspiring, stale and copied (From other games) mechanics with a bland story and checklist like quests is the last thing I want to play these days.

I would agree if the game was Nier: Automata, Dark Souls, ICEY, Deus Ex, System Shock 1/2 or something, but definitely not this.

I see you are a man of culture :3

Unless you get involved in all of the sensationalism bullcrap, no.

This has blown up wayyyy beyond proportions. But what can you do in an industry full of sellouts and ass lickers.

I am not familiar with American politics, and don't concern myself with anyone spreading propaganda.

It's more about a site that doesn't usually associate itself such stuff and in recent memory has started pushing propaganda instead of discussing more pressing matters or even game design. I just can't help but feel that that porn being a word that drives 50% of the internet traffic is being used as a bait here.

Peak journalism time bois.

Sugarcoating is lying.

A lie is a lie. Big, small, middling, makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary.

At least Sean Murray kept silent but worked his way up there. What are Fallout 76 and Anthem doing? Adding battle royales and being present at E3 shouting from one corner of the room "I exist!!!"

The list just shows how pedestrian the taste of the general audience is.

You know. I find it funny how you say:

"With a physical disc one can own the disc with less restrictions around its' use"

I mean sure you can use it as long as you want, but the whole thing about restrictions is funny because physical is relevant on console and digital is more prevalent on PC. Considering that PC has a huge ass modding scene, there is less "restrictions around its use".

PS- I know it is besides t...

@Tyler

I don't get this notion of "certain people were not even interested" before a certain time frame. You can't just generalize the whole crowd like that. Now I haven't played the PS2 Drakengard games, but I absolutely adored Nier on PS3, in spite of its flaws.

As for developers putting in effort, I know devs of God of War put in effort, which I respect. But to me these games felt like they were products because they followed a se...

@Potnoodle

Such a huge para for proving I haven't played. The only exclusives I have yet to play are Knack 2, The Last Guardian and the few remote JRPGs.

I can't say if their western games are "filled" with passion. They feel more like extremely good products, not pieces of art like say Nier: Automata or Return of The Obra Dinn.

@oldboy

I'll get Death Stranding next year after Q2 or Q3 anyways. I mean there is Doom Eternal, then Jan- June 2020 is packed with some of my most anticipated games of this entire gen- Ori & The Will Of the Wisp, Cyberpunk 2077, Vampire Masquerade 2 and Dying Light 2.

I don't get the hype for Death Stranding honestly, it has showed 0 gameplay apart from walking. Plus, I don't trust open world with good side quests from a non-CDPR game. Th...

Heh.... Don't own an Xbox One, but can't relate.

There are maybe 2-4 games on PS4 that I wish were on PC- Bloodborne, Persona 5, Gravity Rush 2 and Resogun. In spite of having a Switch, PS4 and PC, I spend most of my time play PC.

And being on a budget, Doom Eternal's release date just killed everything else for me.
