Charlie Power of Xboxer360.com writes "Hold your fire! I know I’m about to be called a bigoted, stuffy, cisgendered moron but please read the rest of the article before telling me how ignorant I am; I’d just like to start by saying I do not advocate racism as a practice. I do not support it, I do not like the concept of it in our society – but to pretend it didn’t happen, or claim it’s not an integral part of how modern society was formed (and how we’re waging a war on racism, so to speak) is offensive as of itself. It’s not a proud part of who we are, but the Jim Crow laws happened, as did many now despicable acts incited only by race. And I’m glad some game developers have the audacity and gall to start addressing that."
Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”
"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"
1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.
I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.
Me too. Here's the best I can do:
El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76
Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.
It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.
Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.
One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.
However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.
While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
See what a side-by-side comparison of Clockwork Revolution vs Bioshock Infinite looks like.
U can put anything in a video game and im totally cool. Its the ppl who dont play games who should take their offense somewhere else.
If racial and cultural sensitivities were taken seriously in games then Reach would never have been glassed and the Locust and Humans would live peacefully together on Sera.
Oh yeah and Mario wouldn't have that outrageous accent.
Racism is never good. If it's a game to promote racism, then no. If it's a game about racism or has racism as part of story, then I'm fine.
For the love of god, stop going for shock value and find better titles for your articles!
