I was so close to getting Pokemon Conquest but like all Pokemon games, i got turned aside by the kiddy-fresh graphics. I gotta get over it and just get it. It seems like a game I would like.
Action figures are cool. I have one I couldn't resist when I saw it at Gamestop. The Brute Leader Tartarus from Halo 2.
Right! I want particular ones. This is the list of the first set according to The Blotsays.com: Aquaman, Superman, Black Manta, Batman, Bane, Green Lantern Maxwell, Deadman, Batman: Blood Storm, Bizarro, Blue Suit Aquaman, Green Lantern Sinestro and a strange golden statue of Superman.
I still want Harley Quinn!
Yea, they're reaching for the mainstream casual gamer with all this graphics stuff. We serious gamers will wait in the wings for a deeper experience or one that will satisfy our particular freaky tastes.
Avert your eyes oh gamers true.
This is just the salesmen selling poo.
I think about how Minecraft repelled me with its simplistic graphics for the longest time until I tried the demo on XBL and fell head over heals for it. That game, like many others, needs to be played to be understood.
Yea, did you see how many SNES games were referenced in that video? A lot!
I just bought Shaun White Snowboarding so I could see the gorgeous snowy mountain graphics and the excellent downhill runs, but I couldn't get into the gameplay at all. How do you do snowboarding tricks in this game? Grrr! I so want to play it more to see the sights but I'm just not into snowboarding at all. Graphics pulled me in, gameplay threw me out.
Yea, there are many choices a developer has to make. As powerful as the new consoles are, they still have their limits. Dead Rising 3 probably sacrificed some graphical integrity to put those hundreds of zombies on the screen. What's more important there? LOTS OF ZOMBIES! Oh yeah!
I get that. If I didn't have a PS3 already, I would've bought one just for Ni No Kuni whose Studio Ghibli graphics made me crazy to play that game. Or Valkyria Chronicles or Okami for a PS2. I love a watercolor style in my games.
I would agree but then I think of my reaction to Oblivion when it came out. I bought a 360 mainly 'cause of the gorgeous environments. Then Killzone: Shadowfall which if I had the money right now I would've bought a PS4 because of those incredible waterfalls spilling down over the skyscrapers. I guess I get suckered into these graphic rich games just like everyone else.
Someone brought up the idea that these resolution numbers are a bit misleading. I mean, if a game runs at 60 frames per second at 720p and another runs at 30 fps at 1080p, which is better? Designers have to decide which is more important, the feel of the action or resolution. On top of all that, 4K screens are going to appear soon. What does 1080p matter with that? I guess I'm saying there's more to a game than just it's resolution. People think it's the determining factor, but play the game, what's the experience like, that's more important I think. Still, people are trying to figure out which system to buy and they're trying to make these numbers decide for them. I remember thinking about resolution a lot last gen when I was buying a new TV, but now, it doesn't seem to matter as much. Most TVs are 1080p now and very few games play at that rate anyway. Both systems are going to have gorgeous games. This nit picking is a little silly as the video points out.
