^^ This exactly.
Kojima is just building hype till the big reveal and props to him for going about it in such a creative way.
^^ This
Knowing Kojima it'll be one to miss
Im not sure how long this series will continue either lol, but I can tell you that I am planning to cover a female character from a Final Fantasy game ;)
The thing is, where it may be true you can purchase many games cheaper at retail these days, most are either incomplete or buggy, either needing day one patches and/or DLC to offer the intended experience held back from us by greedy publishers.
I also don't purchase DLC but the vast majority of gamers do, and because of this the pubs/devs continue to abuse DLC and other forms of microtransactions because it's proven to be profitable for them to do so.
I approved your user review, if you want other users to do the same I suggest you delete this blog.
The comments section beneath your review will be more than enough for people to discuss their thoughts on it or regarding the game, if they choose to do so.
"Is Nintendo's Wii U Dragging Down The Entire Industry?"
Wow! That's one of the dumbest questions we've had posed here on N4G, how about "is the milking of popular AAA franchises stunting creativity and causing damage to the industry?"
Yeah, pretty much already new AC:Rising Phoenix was a Vita game, but glad it's pretty much confirmed.
You know you make a good point there, I never even considered her to of much relevance before but thinking about it she was a very strong well fleshed out character.
Thanks! Im glad you enjoyed it :)
And that's a great quote, it pretty much somes up all the negatives regarding the industry these days.
Voting with your wallet is just one step in fixing the problem it's not enough to make it go away all together.
Complaining is good because devs & pubs hate bad press, but they will try to spin it making us look ungrateful, childish and/or entitled.
I think the only thing that will really help is we can all unite together and refuse to tolerate poor business practices by making a genuine boycott of a popular franchise because we have are against the c...
Voting with your wallet can help but It won't fix the problem if millions of other gamers are still buying, many gamers will put up with the games industries poor business practices because they feel the that the games they enjoy make up for it.
I don't know what we can do other than complain and stand united against it,and not purchase big titles because we refuse to support their business ethics (or lack of them) Pubs/devs will just keep pushing and pushing until w...
January and February are notoriously tough times for consoles sales.
Give it some time, once Nintendo pushes out their big guns (Zelda, Mario, Pikmin, X etc) the Wii U will sales will pick up, IMO.
Too little too late indeed.
Gearbox took us all for fools and Im not about to forget that.
As video game princesses go Peach and Zelda are two of the best, and yet sadly for some reason they are often over simplified as typical "damsels in distress" which I feel is horribly demeaning considering their stature and importance in regards to their individual games and their respective law.
Anyway great blog, I feel you made some very good points that most of us often overlook.
Actually, I already covered "Two of the greatest female protagonists in the history of gaming" in one of my earlier blogs right here. http://n4g.com/user/blogpos...
But I do get your point and it definitely would be nice seeing more female video game characters taking the lead.
Retro did a fine job with the Prime games, it would be nice to get another one or at least another take on the franchise.
Wow! that's the last time I comment past midnight, grammar fail on my part haha.
But yeah, Patcher does no good to the industry, even the people I've spoken with who like him just say "well at least he's funny"... He's not a clown! he's supposed to be a games industry annalist! Not some running joke...
Because of the apparent sexism in the industry feminist are pushing for female characters to be portrayed in a more shall we say "positive" light, therefore developers need to be seen to be doing something to put an end to accusations that female characters are being overly sexualised and simply portrayed as eye candy for male gamers to gawk at.
I think until we have these issues of sexism and the misrepresentation of women sorted out in the real world, it's pro...
I'd like to read that actually, maybe if you have the time you could post it still.
I was going to cover more than just Princess Zelda but the blog ended up being long enough as it is so Im splitting it into parts, lol.
Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope you'll enjoy part 2.
Im obviously interested in what MS has to show tech wise with their nextbox but I just don't see what they can bring to the table 1st party/exclusive games wise that'll interest me, Gears and Halo have run their course IMO.
