Why contextual chat commands are better than voice chat

Think voice chat makes online games easier? Contextual phrases work just as well without breaking immersion or colliding with language barriers.

YoungKiller254643d ago

Voice Controlled contextual chat commands, would work better, Kind of like what they did with Rainbow Six Vegas 2.

The Brilliance of voice chat is it doesnt use up time or your hands and you stay in the game. Making Chat commands Voice controlled would give the best of both worlds

Chat commands would work if they weren't so cumbersome to use.

Eleven-year olds, who needs 'em?

KwietStorm_BLM4643d ago

They are exactly correct. COMMANDS work fine when they are contextual, but if you want to have any sort of detail or use your own strategy, obviously you gotta mic up.

Perhaps the best implementation of VC I've experienced was EndWar. Maybe if others were as intuitive, it wouldn't be as much of an issue.

Edit: My bad. Off-topic comment.

Castlevania and Resident Evil are always good

Neonridr948d ago

the old stuff here vastly outshines the newer stuff, lol

How about scraping Games with Gold and reducing both XB Live Gold and XB GamePass Ultimate by $5 per month.

I don't mind the games with gold, but in reality it has been a long time since I really cared about what came on games with gold.

John_McClane947d ago

Getting rid of the gold paywall entirely works for me.

@John_McClane
I believe in paying for services you use. You look at the console vendors and they run a network that tracks your gamer profile, does your games saves, and provides an environment for multi-player. The servers and infrastructure to do this is expensive and has to be paid for somehow.

I like a direct payment method rather then hiding the costs behind something else. No matter what they have to find a way to make money off the investments they make. No company does stuff for free. Now with PSNow and XB GamePass I think both should just drop the free games (that aren't really free because they allocate Gold and Plus money to buy those games) I think it is time the the free games are dropped and the subscriptions drop in price as well.

I loved Aaero. I bought it on PS4 a few years ago and got hooked (some great tunes in there). I will happily double dip and try and grab a few achievements blitzing through the earlier difficulties again.

I havent played Code Veronica since the Dreamcast. I assume this is that but in HD?

Yui_Suzumiya947d ago

Yeah, it had an HD remaster during the PS3 / 360 era

babadivad947d ago

Same. That game was long AF!!

Damn, I just bought code name Veronica. Lol. I was eyeballing the Castlevania game due to the recent Tokyo Gameshow Sale, but I guess I’ll just get it here instead.

Resident Evil and Castlevania crossover Video game and Anime series confirmed!

VersusDMC948d ago

Nope. That would make no sense...but there is going to be a Devil May Cry and Castlevania anime crossover.

So anything is possible.

Top 10: Worst Castlevania Games

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "It’s been a Castlevania-packed week here at Link-Cable as we’ve spent nearly every day covering the series and reminiscing about our favorite moments from the revered franchise. But now it’s time to turn away from the light and take a deep dive into the darkness that is the worst games from the series. Yes, while the vast majority of games that bear the Castlevania games are genuinely good there’s enough monsters lurking in the shadows to fill us with dread of ever stepping back into Dracula’s castle. So grab your whips and your wall-meat, things are about to get"

It's unfortunate how LOS2 turn out, great gameplay mechanics let down by mostly bad level design and dull story.

LoS1 is among the best games i played, it reminded to rush into judging a game without trying it.

ShockUltraslash1895d ago

LoS2 had good combat.
It's how the end of the game was lackluster and felt unfinished.

Eien1895d ago

Knew that Number 1 was going to be Castlevania Judgement. So many people judge the game without even playing it. It was a fine game with some flaws like most games, no where near the worst.

william_cade1895d ago

Simon's Quest is one of my favorite games of all time and ahead of its time. It felt like an action rpg, the day/night cycle was awesome and different, and when I figured out how to take the tornado to the other side I was excited. I beat the game in the early 90's and still have great memories playing it.

I know this would never happen but I would love to see a From Soft remake of Simon's Quest with Miyazaki developing it. It would hold up well as a souls-like experience.

INMATEofARKHAM1895d ago

Simon's Quest is always the bastard child of the good Castlevania. It was frankly ahead of it's time.

Vanfernal1895d ago

It's "cool" to hate on that game. Apart from being obtuse because of the localization, the atmosphere, gameplay and music still makes it one of the most memorable Castlevanias. It laid the groundwork for 2D exploration games down the line.

rataranian1895d ago

Castlevania 64. End of story.
