Huh, this actually sounds pretty fun. I'm sure I'll still never play it, but who knows. I mean, the coolest thing I thought Microsoft showed at E3 when they announced the then-Natal was that painting game.
They should roll the credits every time you die...That'd ensure that people see them, and will know the names of the developers that have hurt them so.
Gears, like Halo, has always been one of those franchises where you need to read all sorts of supplementary material in order to *get* everything that's going on...I think some prequel DLC would fix that, and be pretty awesome.
Is it the fact that they're Kinect games that makes you not care, or do you somehow not care about Cookie Monster?
Realification...are we on the forefront of a new buzz-word for college students to write papers on?
(Good article, btw.)
Great story, and very funnily written.
I don't think it's that you can't play video games, maybe you just...shouldn't? Or stick to iPhone games. They don't have any crazy buttons you need to worry about. :-P
I think the important thing to take away from this is that more games should be inspired by, or have soundtracks comprised entirely of, Styx.
Okay, now all I want is to hear more from Lord Eybrowe Fantastico.
I'll support whichever side he's on.
Based on the title and the beginning of the article, I was expecting some kinda "Argh, kids these days!" rant...But I really liked the observation the kids having more fun with the creative stuff you can do in games these days than the shootin' stuff. Pretty neat.
I love the Indiana Jones comparisons about how he always kinda loses in the end. Very nice observation about what makes Indy, and Drake, such fun characters.
Why does comparing Dark Souls to the colorful fun of Nintendo remind me of the Sirens from Greek mythology?
Probably something about the impending death...
Ha, I know!
Didn't one of the tiger mother's kids end up hating her and rebelling against all the stuff she did? Is Dark Souls gonna inspire people to play Angry Birds instead?
Damn, this sounds pretty cool. Nice write-up!
Yeah, I like the idea of this, even if I don't personally want to buy games as hard as Dark Souls...but I like that it's not "too hard", it's just "very hard", and if that's not for you, then it's not for you. Different strokes and all that.
@gamingdroid But is adding a multiplayer mode like this really creative or new? I'm sorta playing Devil's advocate here, but this doesn't sound like say, Assassin's Creed multiplayer or Splinter Cell multiplayer. Those are both pretty unique takes, this doesn't sound all that new or special.
It is *so much* fun to abbreviate. AssBro. AssBro.
Huh, this game sounds pretty interesting. I think I'll check it out!
But back to G3ars, isn't Horde mode mostly defense? Especially now that you can lay down spike strips and stuff like that.
Aren't the Layton games just an underhanded attempt to teach you something? Like math n' stuff?
Batman never taught me nothin' and I turned out durn good.
Maybe there's a Layton cameo in Arkham City? I hear that thing is packed with cameos.
Yeah, my excitement for ME3 multiplayer is about on-par with my excitement for ME3 Kinect-integration.
I guess I'm just a cranky old man.
Mark Hammil is, and will probably always be, the best Joker. It's a shame to see him go, but at least Conroy will never retire or die or anything...I hope...
