Yeah, GW2 is amazing. I really quite liked it. If you like that and want another really good subscription free MMO, check out The Perfect World. The quests are really innovative, putting in adventure game elements and stuff. And the writing is actually really good. Like better than a lot of actual story based single player games...
Tera is cool, but really grindy. I'm doing either perfect world or defiance after, and they're both really great.
To me, Capcom seem like a cross between Nintendo and EA. They keep milking the same old shit over and over, and they have the terrible business practices of EA.
@ Machocruz Well if they don't want 30fps games they should throw their consoles in the trash because they can't fucking handle it. PC is the only platform that can do modern day graphics at 60 fps, and until the next gen of consoles come in, it's not going to change. I played it on pc, and it was a smooth 60 most of the way through. As for the game being to easy? Play on the harder difficulties. The are about 4 to unlock, and they aren't easy. They vary up enemies, their movesets and so on, so you can't complain that it just makes them damage sponges. And most of the bad pr was down to gamers not liking what the new dante looks like, or saying he was a bad character. As opposed to the walking anime cliche that was the original dante. The new DMC is a fucking great game, it's the shallow fuckwit gamers who can't accept change that are the problem there.
My biggest problem with this is, as I said before, that capcom are just trying to blame everyone else. It's everybodies fault but theirs. Fuck em.
@ San Andreas: I can see how they thought DMC would sell so well, as it is a well established franchise. Idk wtf they were thinking with Dragon's Dogma though.
The poor returns on DMC is a result of gamers being dicks. "Uh, this character has black hair instead of white, lets boycott the game." If you know anyone who had that attitude, rip out their throats because they're fucking dicks.
The high returns on Resident Evil 6? It's a resident evil game. You could sell the shit out of anything in that franchise no matter what the quality. Unfortunately, you're right though. It's disappointing, because DMC was such a great game.
Yes I do mean hodor from game of thrones. That man has a mammoth trunk.
Oh yeah. How the mighty have fallen. I remember when Activision and EA were actually good companies, and made great games. I mean Activision made two of my all time favourite games: THPS 3 and Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. And the first Call of Duty was amazing!
Selling 3 million copies in the first month and not seeing a return? The next generation is really going to hurt the games industry.
Japanese publishers need to take some fucking blame. Seriously, even EA can admit then they make a mistake, albeit poorly. It's just a dick move to blame people who are busting their asses to make good games for you.
Lol... Kratos. Yeah, I agree with you. I do think there needs to be more penis in games though. And movies. Entertainment needs more wangs, shlongs and hodors!
Ben, people are really quick to judge games as objectifying women. I've been playing a fuck-ton of tera lately, and a lot of people are criticising that game as being sexist towards women because of how little they wear. I mean, the girls do wear VERY little, but the guys aren't any better. They wear open shirts, leotards, and they all seem to be oiled up. It swings both way. One thing that disturbs me about that game though is the elin. They look like 12 year old girls, and they all run around in skimpy dresses. You can make them look like they're crying too, as if it wasn't already fetish fuel...
Yeah, I mentioned that in my article. I stated that it would be better if there were stealth elements, or ways to avoid conflict. If they went back to System Shock's rpg elements but streamlined them for a modern audience, that could work quite well. To be honest, that game does need conflict, and it does need it's gore in certain places, just not to the degree that it's used in the game.
Idk, to me, both are equal. They both have elements that are either worse of better than the originals, so idk.
