So all those people buy Wiis and perhaps another console here or there, they play flash games on the internet, whatever, but they are part of the gaming industry whether they like it or not. But Angry Gamers can't help but wonder if this development is good for the gaming community, as consumers. To understand this segment of the gaming consumers better, let's dive back into history…
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”.
i mean if the so called casual gamer wasn't around then there would be allot less money in the gaming industry
a lot less money to go around for the devs and publishers
Yeah. Also, casual gaming is a good thing to have. It's like the "gateway drug" to hardcore gaming. It gets people interested in games, who normally wouldn't. So I think it's one element of gaming that will really help grow the industry faster.
