Agreed and bubs for you.
You are using logic in an otherwise illogical place.
I am so tired of these "comparisons." It is like claiming that one console will "win" the console war. There is no console war. All three consoles have been very successful.
Now we have COD vs BF. Both will sell well. Both will be successful. There is no "victorious" game.
This should be titled "Top 4 FPS and 1 RPG Still to Come in 2011"
Dark Souls, Deus Ex, and Uncharted 3 are not FPS but are surely in many people's top 5.
You're right. People were already selling the items before weren't they? Why not get in on the action. I think the profits will make D3 that much more of a supported and robust experience.
Besides, I am still buying the game, doesn't mean I need to use an "auction house."
"2011 Is a Disappointing Year For Video Games...JOURNALISM."
Nothing but rubbish coming from these purported "journos." Trolls with credentials more like .
Isn't this COD 4.35?
They should get rid of the following whiny bitch*s:
1)People who complain about "campers."
2)People who complain that the other team is cheating because their k/d ration is 1/18
3)People who constantly deride other groups (this includes but is not limited to: racists, gynophobes, and religious nutjobs)
4)Micspammers (people who have a mic on and play music et al)
5)People who use lag switches and mods in order to cheat their way to vi...
Have you ever seen the site atheistsnever.com? It is a link site to tons of stories of just that ilk. Don't spend too much time there though, it gets depressing.
I agree with the sentiment that it is up to the parent to raise the child. But remember, Generation X (the generation that grew up with gaming (albeit as a fringe hobby) started in 1968. There are plenty of "old timers" that are gamers.
But you have to look at it as a part of media as a whole. Before video games the culprit was Dungeons and Dragons; before that Rock n Roll. Before that it was James Joyce's Ulysses, before that other books, and before that sc...
Have you played Valkyria Chronicles? Definitely got my fix.
Interesting...very interesting.
Pong debuted in a bar in Sunnyvale CA circa 1972. Early games weren't ever "rated" for age. They were enjoyed by everyone even the ones with ridiculous violence like Friday the 13th for Atari 2600, you were Jason stalking the campers and killing them.
You make a good point about the bible. More people have been killed or tortured in its name than all of video games. Which, when given the total number of games sold, outnumber that of the bible, but gamers, as a group have never set forth to harm, maim, or convert others (by the sword) to gaming.
Nice analogy.
3 was really good. Then came Valkyria Chronicles which was very similar but amazing on the PS3. So good in fact, they made sequels..... for the PSP.
I think Harvard conducted a study about illegal downloads vs sales lost and their conclusion was something like:
Most of the illegally downloaded material wouldn't have been purchased by the downloaders so there is no monetary loss.
I don't agree with going after Youtube and that ilk because of Youtube I heard Band of Horses for the first time and now I own two of their albums.
"Of all time" ? It is a great game, I will give you that. But of all time? Dragon Quest 4 and 8, FF IV and III were pretty amazing too.
I just don't think there ever could be a definitive "best of all time." There are just too many great ones and all for different reasons.
Two of my all time faves are Shadowrun (SNES and Genesis versions) and Icewind Dale II. Of course, then there would be all the Baldur's Gate lovers. Deus E...
@Stealth2K
I hated Morrowind. Oblivion was a bit better. Is daggerfall really that bad?
Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) and Final Fantasy? Yah. Ok.
I think the headline should read:
"5 RPG Titles We Say Are Overrated in order to get hits on our website and inflame readers."
The beauty of Demon's Souls is the aesthetic world in which it is set. It is a world worth exploring and experiencing, even if it is incredibly dangerous.
