Problem is, not enough games DO local multiplayer anymore. It's all online, which is disappointing. I look forward to splitscreen titles, like RE5 and Army of Two even!
Flamebait article #487.
Just another day on N4G. A great idea of a site ruined by tripe and lack of moderation/standards.
This is pure flamebait, and it's pathetic that this crap still shows up here like some blame game merry-go-round. But you are certainly NOT the one to be casting stones Omega with your recent posting habits. Disappointing.
Our Princess is in another castle was plenty motivating and bare bones simple. I don't see story being vital to enjoyment of Mario though or making it any less compelling to play? Would Super Mario World benefit from 10 minute cutscenes somehow? I don't think so.
Wulf and Sax are both right.
Well said.
His Gears review is a perfect example of why review scores just don't work, and should be done away with entirely. But it seems like asking people to read reviews as opposed to just looking at arbitrary numbers is too much to ask.
A "gut reaction" or love of an IP can heavily sway opinion, all other aspects being equal. That's why it disappoints me when great titles are overlooked for minor flaws while established IPs get away with tons of BS... I'm sor...
I think the existence/or lack thereof of a story should be based on the design of the game. Sometimes, I just don't need a story to play a game and be immersed in it.
Loved this game, can't wait for the sequel. I'm at 80% trophies, and will go back for the rest once I knock out a few more games.
GT has shown us a ton of updates, and people have had hands on time with it.
War Devil is thus far vaporware... big difference.
I'm not a fan of the weapon rebalancing and far higher damage model introduced in 1.05 patch. I feel like people camp a ton now instead of actually traversing the level and moving about. It also really hurt the objective based games I felt.
I also think grenades have been nerfed TOO far to the point of uselessness. They should have just upped the fire time so people couldn't drop them at their feet upon imminent losing.
Pity too, I love my Chimera ski...
I only agree with UC2.. going from 1.04 to 1.05 broke the game for me. The other two games haven't released yet, which I see as different than changing an already released title.
I don't see how improving the responsiveness of KZ's controls is a bad thing though?
No mention of MGS and the Philosophers/Patriots?
Tsk tsk.
Nope. When done well, they're a great way to extend the life of a game. However, they should not be a REPLACEMENT for things like unlockables, secrets, harder difficulties, etc.
Um, many of their points are pretty lame. MGS4 didn't use video for most of the cutscenes. Thus the FFXIII comparisons/multiple disc requirements due to HD cutscenes are moot. Does anyone do any research before writing these pieces? This is basically a fanboy wishlist. How about some real news please instead of this reassurance crap?
Also... being "bogged down" with Solid Snake? Gotcha. Funny.
I'm fully ready to give MGSR a chance and see ho...
This is how DLC should be done!
Personally, I like the old Cole.
To ME, this redesign screamed of "let's make him more hip, extreme, BMX in tune with today's youth" Nathan Drake mixed with Poochie.
It was an unecessary change to me, and I'm glad they're taking more influence from his original design.
Wow. When's the last time you talked about games and didn't waste time on sales, PS fanboys, or cheerleading MS?
How far you've fallen. =(
What, you don't want to talk about AMAZING AAA next gen titles like..... Fracture? ;-)
Waaahhh, I'm stuck in 2001. I hate change.
Face it, Kojima manipulated gamers, expectations, and the media to pull off the greatest bit of PR censorship EVER, which perfectly tied into the theme of the game. Jack the Ripper was killing people when he was 6. That is not "emo." Jack is meant to be a counterpoint to the gruff design of Snake. That is not "emo." Jack's relationship with Rose, the Colonel, and those around him was instrumental to the S3...
I enjoy Trophies, but people really skip amazing games because they DON"T have Trophy support? Wow... wtf happened to gaming for fun?
