| @Shoozle TLOU really felt like a survival game to me. Every encounter was very dangerous and I always had to adapt to make it through. That's what the modern horror games are getting wrong. There's more to making a scary monster than the visual design. |
| @Snowsprite Don't get smart with me. That method can not be used as an alternative to a traditional pause button. What if my phone rings while I'm fighting ? The start button doesn't stop the game and it takes at least two button presses to quit(which is enough time for a regular dark souls enemy to kill you). |
| I just wish for a pause button. At least in single player. |
| This article is a bit too random for me. |
| @Cop_Killa_Keith They didn't admit to hating women, they admitted that the product might have given that impression. |
| Guns in SPACE! |
| @abczyx But Just cause's map felt empty. I haven't played a Rockstar game with a lifeless sandbox. |
|
Posting a pic seems to guarantee up votes, no matter how irrelevant or stupid it is. As to the game, we'll see. Given Cage's massive ego, I doubt that he'll fix the problems of his older games. I liked Heavy Rain and Indigo Prophecy, bit they weren't as smart as they thought they were. |
| I honestly can't tell if Ubisoft are evil or not. When they aren't busy milking Assassin's Creed, they publish games like Gunslinger, Rayman and Blood Dragon. |
| I get the condemned 2(the good part that is) vibe from these screens. |
|
@null If they are going for authenticity as they claim, then what's the problem? Games often sugar coat their subject matter, GTA V might be a step in the right direction(MIGHT.) I would hate to break it to you, but real life gangs are not like The Saints. Its stupid that they brag about it, though. |
|
It's sad that the reviewer didn't like it but I won't jump on the hate train yet. Reading the comments is very depressing. So many people are ready to condemn a game because of the review. |
| Its not too different when a legit game launches, you can be sure that some maniac has beaten the game 10 hours after launch . Just avoid spoilers. |
| I like metro but it's a pretty straightforward game. I don't know how they can simplify it without removing everything that sets it apart from other shooters. |
|
Here's what they should brag about- less loading screens and better FPS. That's the biggest minus of the current gen, I don't give a shit about lighting and bricks. Also I think that making COD about good graphics is a mistake. The recent games have sky high sales despite the dated visuals. The graphic whore crowd is not a huge as some people think. |
|
I think that changing the voice actor is not necessary a bad thing, but the new Garrett doesn't have the lovable arrogance of the old one. He doesn't sound calm and cynical, he sounds bored. |
| Is it just me or does Sam Fisher really looks like Isaac Clark in this one? |
|
@Golgo Hey, forcing the devs to do something just for marketing is disgusting. It doesn't matter what the product is. That's why we get so many shitty "cinematic" war shooters. |
| Not manly enough, Batman punched a shark in the face. |
| I really hope they reinvent the gameplay for this story DLC. Shooting dudes is fine but Infinite already has too much of it. |
| This whole situation smells a bit... FISHY!!! |
| This could be good, if they bother to fix the main game's problems. But I really doubt that. |
| @jimdove76 There is a huge difference between comedy and parody. |
| I like games with good narrative but the open world often spoils the effect.A sandbox is a place where you have fun, that's why a good sandbox game shouldn't try to have a serious story. The protagonist wouldn't waste his time with shit like darts and TV if he was on a quest for revenge. |
| I hope they can bear it! |
| @darth_paul Friend, when did I say that Apocalypse Now is a bad film? Art is subjective, and Spec Ops affected me more, ME, on a personal level. |
|
@bobdebob "Is considered one of the greatest" "Just a GOW clone" That's just what I expected you to say. See, I don't care about the public opinion on films, most people think that Game Of Thrones is masterfully written . And about the gow clone part, it makes sense that you would judge the game by the most obvious element, the gameplay and Spec Ops has much more going on in it than the simple shooting. It's just that if something is not shoved directly in your face you won't see it. |
| @bobdebob I think that Spec Ops the line tells a different story than Apocalypse Now.Still, for me it war way more affecting and powerful. I can see why some wouldn't like it, the game requires an investment that mentally restricted people lack. |
|
@Simonoly I think that it's original in a way. That's why I was very disappointed at the beginning of the game when Ellie said that she's immune, I thought that it would be a simple "save the world" story, but just the zombie apocalypse it was just a background to tell the story of Joel and Ellie. I also loved the "Okay!" line at the end, it felt like Ellie trusts Joel, even if she doesn't believe his story. |
| There isn't a universal "thing" that summarizes games. They can be about anything. Example - The Walking Dead. The game barely has any gameplay, but people still loved it for the storytelling. Gears Of War has a shit story but some people loved it for the gameplay. So whats the point in saying that Dear Eshter is "no game" when it could still be enjoyed? |
| @Frybird you can always turn off your internet connection they don't force you at gunpoint. |
| @Big-Boss Interesting, this moment stuck in my head too. Games like the last of us,bioshock infinite and metro last light prove that while tech might play a role in making a game look good, its in vain without a good art direction. |
| @jaguarwong read the article more carefully, uncharted doesn't put characters and story above all, the point of the series is spectacle(its still a great game, just not the same as the last of us in the story aspect). |
| @DarkSpaceDS I can tell that you haven't played the game yet. I too thought that The Last of Us is an action packed The Walking Dead game. How wrong was I... |
| @stevethemeat I have a better idea. Get it on PS3. |
| Maybe that Ishmael guy is actually Snake. |
| Can't they see that kinect is FUCKING,FUCKING, FUCKING stupid? You can't meet the consumer half way, you must give him something that he wants. Especially when there is a better alternative. |
| Holy shit, this year is awesome. Bioshock Infinite, metro last light, even call of juarez gunslinger is better than most of the AAA games last year. Big budget games finally have heart again. |
| @SaintDeamon "criminals have a longer lifespan" you say that like its some sort of a well know cliche. Also, the guy never mentioned Jesus or God, so there was no need to push your retarded views into "ppl" faces. |
| @Alcifer Yeah, but I'm sure that they've modified it. Mirror's Edge was on unreal 3 and it looked... different. Also why should we care about graphics anymore? We've reached the point where games can look however they like, even on unreal 3. |
| @kinky_mong well, there are plenty of people who share these details on facebook or whatever for far less than a wallpaper. |
| I'm all for a new open world free running I, but this really, really, REALLY looks like person of interest. I'm all for getting inspiration from somewhere, but the boxes on people's faces, the street cam views and the hacking seem identical. |
|
I think that it's stupid to nail a character to a face or an actor. . When you make a game, the characters could be anyone or anything so why would you limit it to Ellen Page or whoever. Also the thing with those hollywood star photos hints something troubling. I doubt that Cage is friends with every single actor he uses as inspiration so I'm guessing that he's looking at their previous roles. The whole mindset of his writing seems to be "wouldn't it be cool if Ellen Page's character in movie A met with Dafoe's character in movie B but the story is like that in movie C". Heavy rain was like that, the whole games was build around separate scenes from other movies and as a result the game felt really disjointed(there were many fight, chase or interrogation scenes that never led to any point.) Look at Naughty Dog, they do pretty much the same thing as Quantic Dream in terms of animation and tech, just that it their case they implement the animation inside the game part of the fucking game. |
|
"That's the goal of games, to have as much fun as possible." Its a shame that most developers think that way. |
| @freedumb the combat is fun and well made, it makes sense given the setting and characters, so what more can you want? |
| @S-Dawg94 sorry, I lost my own thought there. I was going to mention Rucks from Bastion but decided not to. I'll edit it. |
|
The old thief games managed to be convincing without any motion capture, this sounds like they want to be in the big boys club and use the most modern cutting edge tools when in reality there is no need for them. Example- Bastion. The game had great voice over without having motion capture and still it was more emotional than most modern movie-games. I'm not saying that motion capture is stupid, just that its not universal. Also there are 3 characters that I can immediately recognize by their voice and they are Garrett, Sam Fisher and Solid Snake. Every single one of them had to be removed for some retarded reason. |

All the bioshocks have way too much shooting goons.
