In recent news, Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 is not coming West due to apparent fears over how the Western market would react to the risque game. Is it perhaps time to ask, “are Western gamers being treated like children?”
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
Great read, there's not many things I hate more than getting my games censored!
Very in depth article. I do find it interesting how the censors now almost always have sex, gender or racial concerns now. Extreme violence is absolutely fine, seemingly. I guess the games industry follows societal taboos pretty closely.
Everybody knows that a famous feminist and her friends from the media are attacking developers and gamers.
No just like every form of art,games should be allowed creative freedom.If you don't like something its doing then don't pay attention to it or don't buy it,you don't have the right to rally a hate mob against a person or a company to change it just because 'you' don't like it,well I suppose you do but that is a very douchey move.
