Anyone play Popolocrois yet?
I'm trying to decide if it's worth getting this week considering how much of my time Fire Emblem is eating up.
Can we just take a brief moment now to reflect on the fact that while waiting for the next main entry in the Zelda franchise after Skyward Sword, Nintendo has managed to remaster and re-release every single 3D Zelda game prior to Skyward Sword?
The only thing sillier is the 30-odd Final Fantasy games that aren't Final Fantasy XV that Square-Enix has released between its announcement and now.
History has *repeatedly* demonstrated that the absolute worst time to launch a new console is mid-generation.
What do you really think will happen if Nintendo releases the "NX" any time soon?
Most consumers will ignore it simply because it will be too new to have much of a library, and its direct competition will have been out long enough to accumulate much more appealing libraries. And when the NX does manage to get its library up to par, consumers...
Because it's rather difficult for more than one person to play a 3DS at the same time?
Just... how stupid are you to not be able to think up the reasons on your own?
If Nintendo ever did that, it was only for a brief window.
That, or its a myth fanboys put out to excuse the lack of system accounts.
Fallout 4 ain't even in my top 10.
Not that it's a bad game, exactly... just that 2015 had a ton of really fantastic titles.
...Please speak in compete sentences.
Anyway: a household, too, typically consists of more than one person, and generally speaking, when someone uses the term "family" it is in reference to the immediate family, not the extended family, or one's entire lineage.
Dragon Quest IV is one of the most well-known and well-loved JRPGs in the entire history of gaming.
But Square-Enix.
They made a lot of mistakes with the PS4, too, but it's selling like hot cakes. Conversely, they did everything right with the PS3, but that thing struggled for a long, long time before it took off.
Thing is... all a platform really needs to succeed is to do one thing really, really well... and all a platform needs to fail is to do one thing really, really poorly.
Well, that's probably not going to happen.
But it would be nice to be able to at *least* have the same account tied to two pieces of hardware. Especially of Nintendo wants to keep billing itself as a "family company." Because, you know, families typically consist of more than one person.
Legacy of Kain will definitely never be resolved.
And if XCX doesn't get the sequel it deserves.... no, I'm not even going to joke about that.
True, but correlation does not, never has, and never will imply causation.
Almost certainly no.
It's an RPG: expect to see Fire and Forest and maybe Water areas to match the Ice area.
Mecha games and RPGs?
I hope you've got a WiiU for XCX. Best mecha game I've played... ever.
For the adult gamer with enough disposable income to support multiple platforms, the "overall library" is much less important than the console-exclusive titles.
Is the PS4 worth buying for Divinity: Orinal Sin, Diablo 3, Tomb Raider, Fallout 4, Grand Theft Auto 5, The Witcher 3, Shadow of Mordor, Dragon Quest Heroes and Final Fantasy 15?
For your average consumer: yes.
For me, and those like me--I guess we're what you'd call...
You know that big shift away from PC gaming that happened a little over a decade ago? Remember when all the big PC developers started making console games?
That was Phil Spencer.
He played a pretty big role in shaping the industry. Arguably not as much as Iwata... but definitely more than Kojima.
Is it really that surprising? Companies have been using RPG mechanics for years.
Those "points" you earn with your credit card? Those are totally an experience system.
And then there's China's "social credit" idea, which basically takes the trappings of an RPG and applies it to "good citizenship."
I think they need to cut the modern day aspects, overhaul the stealth mechanics and game design (IE "murder everyone" should not be the optimal solution to every problem) and incorporate some RPG mechanics (an experience system, for example, would be an excellent way to promote stealth over combat).
Maybe, but the 30th anniversary was last week and as far as I know Nintendo didn't do anything.
Unless you count the Twilight Princess port?
