Funny, some folks say Dark Souls is easy. Go figure.
To those who it may concern, there's night any danger of remasters taking over the calendar year. There were more than enough new IPs last year in spite of them and the same can go for this year. It's not as if that many resources go into them so as to hinder their studios – Nintendo made Wind Waker HD in 6 months and Naughty Dog took just under a year with only a few dozen staff members that "went through hell" to make it happen.
As far as remasters are con...
XBO is the HBO of gaming. Its snap feature is addictive; can't go back to one screen now.
Why is The Last of Us being used as a header image? Was this just to trick us into thinking it was on the list? Because it worked.
Trevor's probably the only GTA character that makes sense in the entire franchise like people have mused before. Niko and Michael torching gas stations never made sense Trevor came along. He's basically the player incarnate.
No console can ever fail you if it's got the games that you want, right?
I sure hope that the Xbox One can find a way for back compatibility via the Cloud like some people have speculated. I jumped ship from Playstation 3 to Xbox One and never owned a 360 – thus, I still missed out on Gears and Dead Rising 1-2. Then again, maybe a Gears XBO collection is in order. Holy cow. I suddenly want that.
I'd just bet that Rogue's coming to PS4 and Xbox One given enough time. Playing through Unity (it's pretty good, now that it's patched) and Rogue looks like it might embody everything I loved about III and IV sans the melodrama.
Pretty gorgeous if you ask me. Could make for the ultimate desk vacation in another decade. I wanna go there now already.
I bet Gabe lifts. It shows.
That's so awesome. Kirby's getting the best custom amiibos out there next to those gorgeous dark Samus amiibos I see.
Resident Evil 4 might've marked when RE, and the industry as a whole, began making the over-the-shoulder shooters it's contending with now. It had the perfect balance of action and scares at the time and even now; RE 5 simply shoved the series too heavily in the direction of the former while still being a decent co-op experience, and Re 6 was just an awful shooter in every way conceptually.
The only distinctions I'll grant "hardcore" gamers as opposed to literally anyone else is the fact that they play more games than anyone else, play them better, or simply complain about them more.
Any other gamer won't be much different at all beyond their devotion to the medium in these said categories. Most of us enjoy having fun playing. We enjoy it to varying degrees of intensity, though.
Can anyone win in multiple categories like, say, winning for best user blog AND best user review?
I really have to play Inquisition one of these days. I'm always intimidated by the prospect of playing a four game series. Are Dragon Age, DA 2, and Origins all essential games to get into Inquisition? As much as I like Mass Effect's universe, DA should be more on my radar than it is.
Naughty Dog might have some of the best artists in the industry. It's a shame they're not bigger, because Sony could sure use that talent for more than they get.
Lightning Returns embodies just about everything wrong with the XIII saga. It's a prime example of how JRPGs, namely Square Enix's, crumble under pressure to reinvent themselves and innovate for the sake of innovating.
It's so full of random moving parts that it's never sure what it wants to be beyond a Lightning cosplay simulator and a bare bones role-playing, sandbox game. I'm simply glad it's done.
I would hope that Sunset Overdrive, B...
I sure wish Nintendo would clarify these rumors themselves as opposed to leakers getting ahold of the news for us. Last year was the first time the Wii U gained some significant momentum – I'd like to see them follow it up and start the New Year off right.
The New 3DS should be the number one priority for them at the present with the Wii U's batch of games right behind. Handhelds are still their bread and butter to erasing their losses, after all. I sure hope it happ...
I'd be legitimately surprised to see a third-world nation what just got a Internet connection back in 2010 to have hacked even an indie studio. Regardless of North Korea's capabilities, though, I won't ever understand why so many American studios INSIST on poking and prodding foreign nations for kicks.
I doubt many would've bought the game, shallow and underhanded as the title sounded. Free speech shouldn't apologize for the hack, but I'm overall disinter...
Valiant Hearts moved me in ways I could never expect nor handle; trust me, a box of tissues is a handy thing to have.
