I played as a total bad guy just to see what would happen out of sheer morbid curiousity. For both ME2 and ME3.
The problem sometimes is you become more of a cartoon bad guy with motives that make little to no sense, where you don't gain anything by being a dick.
I wish the writing was better for bad guy decisions, since it's sometimes a choice between being a goody two shoes and being the worst human being on Earth.

It's difficult to judge because story is such a major factor in MGS games.
Let's just assume gameplay evolved and graphics got progressively better with each game, as we can all agree.

Story wise MGS1 was the most heavily influenced by Tom Clancy novels, as Kojima was reading a lot of those at the time, and it became the most classic story that made the most sense. It was also the most American story, being heavily influenced by American novels.

This is likely going to be a political statement about transgender people, displaying them is morally exemplary people who are downtrodden by society, and shame on any of us who don't wish to use their made up pronouns like Xe and Xhe, and the 67 other pronouns for the 71 other genders.

Beyond Two Souls did the same thing with homeless people, condescending the audience by displaying them as the most moral and ethical members of society, and are just downtrodden by the ...

Konami isn't releasing anything it seems, old or new. They're making too much money with those stupid Pachinko machines so that's what they're investing in.
Console gaming for them is dead. No more MGS or Silent Hill. Fuck Konami.

Agreed. However I wish the target wasn't some enormous frame rate that you need a special HDMI cable to actually see, and TV with 240 hz rating, but rather better graphical fidelity, better visual effects, GT sport looks smooth but everything looks a bit bland and dated, particularly the tracks which have been around since GT1. I mean the trees are just 4 polygons if you zoom in on them, just looks ancient.

This is true, although in terms of sheer talent you can look to see who is working there and compare to who worked at Criterion back in its hay day, and see which developers and creative people were hired on and what experience they bring to the table.
Otherwise we're just speculating as to the talent who will be working at Criterion for their next NFS.

But it's like Yahtzee famously said - let's all laugh at an industry that never learns anything tee...

It's unbelievable Rockstar got sued for having code in their game you couldn't access unless you hacked the game and spent hours on end looking for it. Fucking hell people are stupid...

In case you don't realize, the vast majority of gamers still haven't played an old game on PS1. In fact you'll find a lot of them have never played any Final Fantasy games whatsoever. I am one of them.
I know it's hard to imagine an existence outside of your own, but just try. I thought absolutely everyone must have played Metal Gear Solid, and at minimum MGS 2 and 3, but there I was talking to several gamers buying MGS4 who never played anything previous, and the PS...

The developers mentioned they delayed it because they can't get it running smoothly on the ancient original xbone hardware. Quite frankly this title is being held back by it, and it should be exclusive to PS4 Pro and One X, as well as PS5 and the next Xbox. That way the least amount of compromises will be made.

According to the devs at CDProjektRed, Cyberpunk 2077 is being delayed because they can't get it running smoothly on that shitty ancient underpowered original Xbone. That crap console has held back that game from being great, and will hold back future games of development. Everyone with any knowledge of development knows this.

Dan Houser was part of the creative genius of Rockstar since GTA 3.

This isn't like a CEO leaving. The creative team can't be replaced as easily as managers who are just in charge of organizing people and tasks. The CEO already left in 2016 because of royalties not being paid. Dan Houser probably left for the same reason. There's millions of dollars month still being made off of GTA 5 and everyone wants a piece. It's still at the top of the top 10 list for ...

Except basically no one was "concerned" about Spawn. He is by far the best character and fits in best with the game more than anyone else.

I was honestly hoping Rocksteady Studios would do a Spawn game. They already have all the mechanics down, it wouldn't even be that much extra work to do Spawn. Meanwhile, they're just doing another Batman game called Court of Owls, which is basically the Batman universe's version of the Illuminati, a bunch of people who inexplicably have tons of money even though they don't work in any industry, and somehow pull all the strings of society.... lame and stupid.

Honestly, if it's just superficial gun and outfit skins and there's no competitive advantage, then I couldn't care less.
It's pay to WIN I have a problem with.

Honestly, if PS5 is less powerful, I'll wait for a PS5 Pro. I have PS4 Pro and a 1080p tv, so I'll be fine till when that happens in a couple years.

To be clear, there is absolutely zero evidence that including people of different races or genders makes games or movies magically better. Diversity of thought is true diversity, not skin colour, not gender, not sexuality or gender identity. Go to a liberal arts college you'll find a whole bunch of people who look completely different, but they all think the same. That's not diversity of thought, and it doesn't improve anything. You end up with group think and no one challenges th...

What happened? Company collapsed? Whoever owns the rights to it can sell it to someone who can make something out of it.

They forgot Ico though, amazing game with the worst box art every for north america, and great box art for Japan.

I would hope they would say that, I mean what are they going to do, sell the game short? It had better be better than any other game they did!

Honestly, the microtransactions were garbage and didn't really reward anything. They just gave you a loot box that had a random piece of equipment that was no better than any of the equipment you are constantly finding every few minutes in the game. I can't imagine they made any money on those, and the bad press they got meant they should've just not put them in the game. Literally every guy you kill on the army roster nets you the same equipment or weapon you would get from a sil...
