I agree with eld. Different games push the medium in different ways, and they are all typically good for games as a whole. We want the industry to keep expanding and trying new things. Games can be serious and though provoking and dumbed down mindless. Everything is equally valid. Although you might not like a type of…
I'm excited that Kojima's involvement might result in a Castlevania game that has a plot. Igarashi sure as hell isn't ever going to write one. I think after this many mindless games you can survive a few cutscenes. But since GoW already translated Castlevania combat into 3D so well the only thing left for LoS to accomplish…
yes, they're culturally important. Anything that makes as big an impact on the world as games do is important. No, I dont think we deserve any funds. Do punk rock bands get government grants? Do most mindless hollywood movies? Laslty, even if games make a huge cultural impact, I'm still not convinced that it's a positive…
I agree with Adam about the getting better. Some of the levels in Darksiders look stunning. I'm in this cathedral atm and it looks very polished. I'm enjoying the zelda/God of war style combat and puzzles, breaks up the action. I discovered that the combat isn't just mindless hacking, you can do some really sweet custom…
Problem with the rampant raging fans is that every criticism in those lines will be dismissed entirely. EA were quick to assume everyone was homophobic when voting the company as the worst of the year. Death threats and mindless raging will not only be ruining peoples lives, they'll ruin the very criticism the people had…
Tried it out, it's kind of cool. The passive skill tree is massive, reminds me of the Sphere Grid from FFX. Seems like a game I would rather play on my Xbox on the TV, mindless killing. The one thing I thought intriguing was the NPCs sell/buy system. You don't use gold, you use Scrolls of Wisdom or other various items. It…
From Daz [ QUOTE ] Lets have a pc vote and see how many great left of centre minds ( and there are many ) that hang out on this board didn't vote Bush because he 'looks a bit like a monkey'. [/ QUOTE ] cool and while we are at it lets see who here voted bush because they were gay hating gun lovers , who only voted cause…
Generally in games I look for multiplayer or strategy features. :) Maybe sometimes I'll want RPG, MMORPG, or just action/adventure, but it depends on my mood. When I'm trying to fill in the empty hours between the busyness in my life, I want that time to feel accomplished or memorable. I like to keep my mind active while…
Saw the midnight showing. Not too bad. It fits in very well with the established XMen movie-verse. Better than X1 and 3 and just under X2. That said, the other branded Marvel titles have far eclipsed the X-verse series in story telling and feel. I don't feel it was up to par with Hulk or Iron Man. FINALLY a really good…
Quick update. I've recently been busy with an art test and sending off some applications, so no updates on the Goblin for now. I have however, found some cool tutorials on youtube by John Malcolm https://www.youtube.com/user/luxxeon3d/videos. I've learnt some cool neat little tricks following these, they're quite mindless…
