Just when I thought the next Crysis will be someplace more interesting (like any OTHER place on the planet would do) they go about and make it in New York... again. Seriously, it is getting more redundant by the minute.
Oh and, what's up with the "screenshots"? Those are obviously concept art, come on. Also, I highly doubt they will be making a lot of new stuff... those enemies look the same from Crysis 2.
Kill it. Kill it with fire!
What a great article. This is online (gaming) journalism at its peak. Thorough analysis and facts that ultimately prove how we are getting ripped by companies like EA, Activision and Capcom.
"Games cost too much: Players don’t feel that it is a good value to pay $60 for a game and then immediately be hit with an additional $10-$20 charge for the rest of the content." - sums up the pain in the industry and where it is headed.
Just, awesome.
I hate these types of "gaming journalists" who seem to observe the events from a seat "high above the hierarchy" and tend to overgeneralize the public while alienating themselves from the part of the entertainment industry which they are getting paid to cover.
This isn't something which can be summed up in a few words, but I'll try.
Gaming journalism is a relatively new form of journalism (especially online) and as such, some medi...
Hah.
But in all seriousness.
First of all stop flambaiting Halo 4 into a Last of Us discussion. Yes, you think Halo 4 is overhyped but don't start a flame war by comparing the two. My comment was on Naughty Dog's new game ALONE so keep it civil (but if I am obliged to give an opinion on Halo 4 as well, let me just state that I think it is nowhere near The last of us in terms of hype... check the "degrees" meter on N4G or the posts made for e...
The amount of "The Last of Us" hype is getting ridiculous. They released a couple of screens that aren't even showing actual gameplay and people (and media representatives) are getting their pants in a twist. What the hell? I mean sure, it is Naughty Dog but you don't need to treat them like they'll be delivering the second coming of Jesus... seriously.
So one random mention of a "being of light" in the first Mass Effect on a freaking PLANET description can justify the appearance of the Light kid at the end? Are you kidding me? 99% of gamers haven't even read (less remember) that thing from 5 years ago. Not to mention it still doesn't explain ANYTHING so pointless article is pointless.
Yep. Who knows how many of them, being all "objective and unbiased" are actually on EA's payroll.
4chan... the internet graveyards. I have a hard time believing this but, eh...
Stop sucking Bioware's balls and do your homework. Gamers aren't outraged at the ending... they are outraged because Bioware promised, then lied, then promised again an ending that will align with the trilogy's philosophy.
Personally, I am against an added DLC that would "repair" the ending. The ending CANNOT be repaired. They had that opportunity during PRODUCTION. Couldn't they just delay the game until it was finished? No. They went for the easier...
People are getting missinformed with these kinds of articles. No one is saying anything about obscuring a development team from their own creative vision. What Bioware did was CUT (yes, CUT) the content for some reason (maybe time constraints, EA breathing in their necks for DLC, or something else) and just scraped what they could to offer as ending. Hence, the outrage from all the gamers playing Mass Effect 3.
Again. We aren't telling Bioware how they should make their g...
Seems to me (if this is indeed legit) that they cut all those things with a purpose... DLC. Hudson can go f-himself for thinking he can get away with this. Not only did they lie (twice) about the DLC but now this...
I didn't even notice her truth be told... playing renegade has some perks too (I just shut her up and she never showed up again) ;)
Please elaborate, what part of the ending did you find enjoyable. I for one, think the ending SUCKED BALLS and have mentioned quite a few facts that support that claim (it destroyed all previous decisions on which the game was established as a "system of choice"; it neglected huge plot holes and provided nothing resembling a closure; each ending was basically the same with different color; how the F*CK did the Normandy get into outer space with half my crew-members on board; etc, et...
Thing is, some of the quests were quite more interesting in DA II (the one with Hawke's mother was really, disturbingly, awesome) and the combat was improved and more enjoyable as well. However, many things were indeed a step back for the series:
A) Recycled and downright BORING locations (remember how in Origins we could explore a huge expanse of caves and labyrinths in the Dwaren kingdoms, while here we got one lousy excuse of a dungeon... don't get me started on th...
Yeah, it kinda is, but I guess people generally feel the need to vent all that negativity bubbling up after having played the game... And you know what, it might sound whiny and annoying to all those "norse gods who play classics like Call of Duty and Battlefield" but to all those RPG fans who get tied up with the series, it really is something which can cause emotional response.
Hence, we have N4G with the option to voice your opinion on the matter, and all those p...
No matter if they change it or not... the failure will be there to stay. I loved the game and the entire series, with all their pro's and con's but for me, the ending has been ruined and with it, the collective memory of the series.
And no, a DLC will not fix anything... it would be like trying to cover a turd with chocolate sprinkles.
I literally laughed my ass off. Thanks!
I would love this on my Xperia Play. Too bad it is US and UK only.
