This sounds incredible. Somebody get this kid a job!
I *completely* agree. I thought AC2 was an incredible game, but I had zero interest in Brotherhood, and still very little interest in Revelations.
Annual sequels killed Guitar Hero, it killed Tony Hawk, someday it'll probably kill Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed. When are these publishers gonna learn?
I dunno...Minecraft without the constant threat of death isn't...the same.
Of course, it's probably also a lot less terrifying, which would be nice.
Here's a more recent one:
Getting bitten in half by a dragon in Skyrim. Crazy awesome the first time ("I JUST GOT EATEN BY A DRAGON! I LOVE THIS!"), really irritating every time after that.
I actually thought constantly colliding with your..."teammates" in NSMB Wii was part of the fun. I only ever played with one other person though, so that does make the wackiness more manageable.
If I did get thrown into lava so that she could defeat Bowswer by herself...
Anyway, Rayman looks awesome. I'm totally gonna check it out...when it gets a little cheaper...(sorry, part of the problem!)
Newell also has a distinct advantage over pretty much any other developer in Steam, though.
And Ubi does make good games...they're just more targeted to consoles, I guess. Not many third-person action games on PC.
Orcs? Pshaw.
It's all about the Dunmer. MORROWIND 4 LIFE.
No no no! This is all wrong! That character almost looks like a human being! Make their eyes smaller, their head bigger, then put them in tights and give them the widest smile ever. NO, WIDER.
ALSO: MUSTACHES.
Edit: Aw, meant to reply to the previous comment.
You know that episode of Futurama where Fry smells the garbage ball in space?
My reaction was kinda like that.
Well, that does it. I'm terrified. How do I contact my congressman so I can tell him to take magic away from kids so they don't explode me into Lego pieces?
I don't have a problem with Day 1 DLC (like the Catwoman stuff for Batman: AC). I do have a big problem with on-disc DLC. They're specifically witholding stuff from the customer!
I'm not gonna say it's a bad idea...but it is an unusual one.
I'm thinking instead of choosing stuff in a menu, you just do a certain gesture for each command. That might work...for a bit.
Gasp. Me no read so good.
FINE THEN, IT MAKES ME WISH I HAD A VITA. :-P
Right, but he doesn't sound like he enjoyed those 25 hours a whole lot.
I can't think of any endgames that sound this lazy...but I'm sure there are plenty of examples out there.
It probably has something to do with that stat that barely anybody actually finishes games, so the incentive isn't on developers to put a ton of work into the ending. Just another crummy thing we've gotta deal with sometimes, I guess.
Huh, looks pretty cool. One of those things that makes me wish I had a Ps3.
Love that Nyan Cat one. Amazing stuff.
So is Disney World gonna be in the sequel, or will it be DLC?
BF3 -
PRO: Looks like real life!
CON: You need a good computer to run it.

I chalk it up to Ubi being more comfortable with console development, and not really knowing how to handle the different concerns of the modern PC market.
Sucks for PC people, I guess...and Ubi, since they're choosing no sales instead of some sales/some piracy.
