Great comment. You bring up some excellent points: not everyone wants to play online and be social. Not everyone has time to play online and be social. Not everyone wants to dedicate time and effort to progress through the game via an online component.
I hate the idea that single-player features are tied to the popularity of the game's online component. Gamers shouldn't have to rush and buy the game and get in play time before EA shuts the servers down for good. It&#...
Yep, those Regenerators were pretty frightening. Capcom did a marvelous job introducing them and making them seem like serious threats.
Finally, it's here.
Oh wow, that was fast. Usually these mods take a while due to all the scripting involved, but it's cool to see that they're already hard at work on this.
The real meat and potatoes is when the LSPD mod can be used online with other players.
I was really, really hoping if they would say if it was actually drivable like the Tumbler from Nolan's movies.
I saw the title and said to myself "Well then... that must be a Kotaku article."
Wasn't surprised to see the link... wasn't surprised at all.
Seemed a little harsh. If the game doesn't have anything broken about it and it's functional, is it really only receiving a lower score because it doesn't have any kind of profound commentary to match its violence?
Not saying that it should be praised to the high heavens or anything, just that this seemed more like a game being rated on not living up to its media hype rather than the merits of its technical achievements.
Also, it supports modding....
To be honest, I think most people see it as a way for EA to ramp up publicity for a game that's notorious for not being proper on release.
Will they balance out the microtransactions? Will they remove the bugs that take people money? Will they have better options so kids can't abuse their parent's credit cards when they aren't around? Will there be less glitches?
Before attempting to "broaden" the audience they should make sure the i...
I feel like that's The Order of the day this gen.
Very badly.
I love what SMS did with Project CARS but even in the video you can still see where the frames are dropping in some areas compared to Forza 5, which has a much more stable frame-rate.
Graphics at the expense of frame-rate.
@Spotie,
"Less games" is relatively and fairly incorrect if you were including all the different game systems out then. The SNES, Sega, NES, 3DO, Turbo Grafix 16, Jaguar PSX, N64 -- throughout the 90s there were only a few games I ever remember not working right at launch. There was a nasty save game bug in WWF No Mercy for the N64 that would erase your save game or the whole game would freeze, but there was a recall on that and THQ/Nintendo got it sorted shortly af...
Sorry but I agree with Ark_, the only thing you have to worry about with cartridges is blowing the dust out or wiping the green stuff off the bottom, otherwise they were good to go.
I'll likely buy this game console since it's about preserving game control as opposed to destroying it.
It was a lot less common than it is nowadays.
I can't think of ONE major AAA release that didn't require a day one patch.
Old games had bugs but it was rare that they launched with game-breaking bugs, opposite of today's games... like Assassin's Creed Unity, or Project CARS, or The Witcher 3, or Dark Void, or RIDE or any other number of games recently released that required more patches than a leaky old dam.
At least some devs are willing to call a spade a spade.
4. Submit to N4G.
5. Profit.
Perfectly said.
All of Reddit is turning this way. You can't even discuss video game corruption on /r/Games or /r/gaming.
WTF kind of nonsense is that?
After the Modtalk leaks it was discovered many mods and some Admins at Reddit worked with the Game Journo Pros to censor discussion of various topics. Even more than that, there are auto-flags for words like "ethics", "corruption", "feminism", "unethical", etc.

I have to admit that Bloodborne, while not my cup of tea, actually hearkens back to the days when games launched complete. No ridiculous season pass schemes, no DLC locked away on the disc, none of that BS. It was just a complete game.
Last gen and this gen are really ruining gaming with all these anti-consumer measures and a reliance on DLC to nickel and dime gamers.
The indie and mid-budget games are the ones I've found most decent, but for some reason...
Man that was well done. The ending was superb!
Now that's how a real fan-film is done. Great build-up, amazing cinematic atmosphere and excellent camera work.
Back in 1997 Postal existed before Hatred. It's mentioned in the article with video footage for reference.
Hatred is neither original nor the first to go there.
