By that logic Citizen Kane would be a great game because we all like sledding and not everyone has seen the movie.
It is a nice notion, but what works for one medium may not work for another.
That's funny, mostly because I find the opposite. The majority of game comics I have read are tacked on pieces of crap.
Also, either I'm misunderstanding your intent or you didn't actually read the article. It was written assuming that these game series won't be continuing, so the only avenue to finish the story would be through a comic, not alongside the games.
It is a hard balancing act. You have to listen to the fanbase, but you can't let them steer the overall design. If you hand over control to what the fans want completely you will never surprise them and it turns into design by committee. That rarely turns out well for anyone.
That Dexter game. Just damn. I know Mark Ecco's previous game wasn't great but Dexter is a whole new level of hell to play.
Yeah, they are prequels to DA:O. I haven't read them myself but I know they are about the adventures of King Maric, AKA Alistair's father.
David Gaider (the series lead writer) made sure not to mention Hawke as to not make a "default canon". Basically he didn't want to make on version of Hawke "official".
It does however include Wynne and Leliana, as well as a few other expanded universe characters.
It can be based on one person and look like another. People can look similar after all.
Films can tell a good love story in an hour and a half. Why can't a game do the same over almost ten times that?
Looks a lot like Rosario Dawson

I'd be willing to bet that one of the characters is Rhys from Dragon Age: Asunder. Although, given that 2 characters are already mages I'd be happy with either Cole or Evangeline.
Surprisingly good tie-in novel and it is a great prelude to Inquisition. Takes place three years after DA2 and makes events around the Templar-Mage more clear. If you don't know what the Neverran Accord is in-universe, you would be best reading it or looking up the plot points.
Agreed. You would think a company worth billions would be able to concentrate on more than one thing. It's not like Sony also have major film, music and development departments...oh, wait.
Creating a VR headset is just another card in Sony's wallet. If you think it will take away from efforts elsewhere, you have very little faith in a company that probably has a hand in most of the technology in your house.
No, you are never the only person. In fact there will always be a legion of people worried about something.
This article is baseless scare-mongering and makes huge generalizations. It is all "well this COULD happen, so we shouldn't be doing it". Simple answer, yes. Long answer, yes, please come back when you have something to back up your claims other than vague what-ifs.
The start of the list was interesting as I hadn't heard of a few, then by the end it was the common staples of modern horror games. Bonus points for not including Amnesia though.
Except that last one though. Well played.
Look up Song of Saya, that is a pretty messed up game/visual novel.
Cutscenes are a tool, and like any other tool it can be used incorrectly. Cutscenes aren't inherently bad but there are games which use them poorly.
I enjoyed Metal Gear Solid 4 and loved the cutscenes, but that is from the perspective of someone who is used to the way Kojima makes games. I don't think anyone else could get away with how he tells a story, at least not with the way AAA works right now.
Sadly I am not one of those 90K copies...YET!
Censorship isn't always about tits, gore and other controversial topics. If a game was 100% sexist/racist/completely morally reprehensible, would it be OK to censor it?
If a game was that bad, and reveled in it without a trace of irony or comedy, would it still be wrong to censor it? Free speech means you can say what you want, but you aren't immune to the consequences of what you say.
This is mostly me playing devils advocate, but it is something to ...
Better hide ya kids, hide ya megadrive.
Tony Hawks 4 and Guitar Hero both used The Sex Pistols, albeit a little edited.
You may as well be honest and rename the article "Why I want Mass Effect on PS4 and Xbox One". Neither console NEEDS these three games.
It would however be rather cool. I would gladly pay for the trilogy box again if it bundled together all the DLC's and came in a funky box.
I wouldn't really call any of those games underrated. Every one of those games reviewed well, for the most part. Metal Gear: Revengeance and DMC in particular were very well received by critics.
Not trying to knock your list, but I don't think of Metal Gear: Revengeance or DMC when I think of underrated games in 2013.
