...it's been so long, I can't even remember the last decent Trek game I played.
Who cares about towns? Did they fix the combat? Is it fun, or at least marginally entertaining yet?
More like remake V, VI, VII and VIII. Every other game has a nice remake, or is new enough that it looks good enough as is.
I was interested in it after the initial announcement, and they said they were re-working the combat system. The screenshots seem to have the same combat system, which makes me... nervous. Unless it gets a major overhaul, I'm not gonna bother.
Nothing. Last month I bought Portal 2, Witcher 2, L.A. Noir, Front Mission Evolution, Crysis Warhead, and a half-dozen DS games.
Next month is Dungeon Siege, Catherine, and a few others I can't recall. Not really anything in June worth buying IMHO.
...What a poorly-written, poorly-thought-out mess. If you're going to troll for hits, next time I suggest placing "The Hacking Saga" at the front of the title: that's the only reason gullible fools like myself bother clicking the link, anyway.
I'm getting tired of all these people assuming this generation is "coming to an end." The present and future software line-up for the PS3 is as strong as it's ever been, if not stronger. Just because Sony's competitors have fewer and fewer titles to look forward to (and haven't for more than the past year) does not mean this generation is coming to a close.
The last generation did not wind to a close after MS abandoned the Xbox, after all.,
The month before E3 (every year):
OMG! Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft is going to make so many amazing announcements! We'll get so many awesome new games ideas! It'll be spectacular!
the day after E3 (every year):
1-2 decent looking games displayed. Nothing else of interest occurs.
..../that's-the-joke/
First was Legacy of Kain. Second was Baldur's Gate. Third was Xenosaga. Fourth was Wild Arms.
They're not exactly esoteric references... if any of 'em sailed over your (plural) head... be ashamed.
Ooh, how 'bout a vampire that destroys the world, and creates a post apocalyptic empire that rules over the devastated planet for thousands of years? And he can, like, travel through time to kill gods, too?
Oh! Or you could play a hero whose mother was raped by an evil god, and have to constantly fight against your own urges to MURDER EVERYONE as you try in vain to bone your sister?
Or Space Jesus?
Or a cowboy with a talking rat and a kat...
There are PSN games? Where?
Gotta love how, despite the immense potential of the genre, games have been stuck telling the same juvenile stories targeted at the "crucial" 13 year-old boy demographic.
Catherine may not be a big step, but it is A step, and gaming desperately NEEDS to start branching out into more area, or else the single most innovative form of narrative storytelling will never rise above (*ahem*) the level of pornography.
(I know some people won't get that, ...
A revolutionary sports game would be a sports game that incorporates enough new mechanics and uses a sufficiently visceral, immersive engine so as to appeal to non-sports-fans.
Ain't gonna happen.
Just once, ONCE, I'd like to see a sports game that feels more like playing a sport than watching a sport. Only ones that ever seem to get close are boarding/tennis games.
At this point, if you're surprised by anything Modern Warfare... you're brain dead.
I don't agree with the analysis, but it is certainly well articulated.
...The simple fact of the matter is that the WRPG is a dying genre. Bioware is pretty much the ~only~ developer making playable WRPGs these days. If we don't buy their games, we don't buy WRPG period.
It's either that, or suffer through awful Oblivion-type games.
To be fair, the biggest problem was the short development time. Had DA2 had larger, more varied environments (re: the time to build those environments) it would have been a much, much better game.
If you remove the monotonous level design, the biggest problem with DA2 was the... slackshod storytelling (re: mages are always, ALWAYS, evil monsters).
Thanks for that.
...Of all the posts I've made on N4G, I would have thought that one the least likely to generate hate-mail.
Guess I was wrong.
How fucking stupid do you have to be to think E3 is a contest? It's a press event. It generates publicity for everyone involved. The only people that "lose" E3 are the moron gamers who invest themselves emotionally in the public images of their favorite megacorporations.
This.
Only this.
Don't give a rat's ass about online or trophies: just the store. And you know what? Developers are on the same side of the fence. Well, most of 'em. The longer the store is down, the more money Sony will hemorrhage.
