lets be honest here, mario 1 was a very small fraction of the game that new games are in terms of content and manhours/resources. Yes, there are nasty dlc practices, but some devs release a full game, and continue working on the game releasing new things as dlc. That I dont mind, in fact I really enjoy it. I love finishing with a game and feeling like it's complete, then having somehting added on for a few bucks.

Stop pretending dlc is the devil.

Asian business practices are a joke. They have no concept of letting some of their rights go to make more profit. Nintendo videos on youtube are in no way losing them profits, infact their probably helping them. Didn't EA start making new copies of skate 3 solely due to pewdiepie playing the game on his channel? I've purchased numerous games based on let's plays and streams I've watched.

I live in korea and companies do the same thing. Me and a buddy used to go to this mom and pop dunkin donuts 3 times a week and my buddy would always ask for a little milk for his coffee. After a couple of months the owner thought she was being ripped off and started charging us $2.00 extra for a little milk. So they lost our business for the future over a quarter cup of milk 3 times a week. Nintendo is doing the same thing here. They're exercising their rights sure, but their alienating thousands of potential customers in the process.

Just because you have the right to do something, it doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

I'm not watching a damn video just so you can get free views. What exactly did you 'finally get'?

and mods: is this type of advertising allowed? seriously? if this isn't clickbaiting i don't know what is.

This is the hardest introduction to the series I've played so far. DeS, DS, DSII all had a fairly gradual curve up to when you were suppose to die for the first time, this game is literally death 10 steps in. It's brutal. Then there is no hand holding at all. I've only played a couple of hours and just got to the second boss, but wow. The second boss feels harder than the last boss in DeS. Maybe it's because they took the shield away, but it's tough. The moves aren't as predictable and they can add a second or third attack depending on the players proximity.

It's awesome though, not sure if it will have the depth of the other souls games, but time will tell. The lack of customization, weapons and armor bother me slightly.

Final fantasy and Elder Scrolls are probably my two favorite series and they're completely different. They both scratch a different itch. FF gives me the ridiculous characters and dramatic stories, while Elder Scrolls makes me feel like a God.

One thing I like about jrpgs that wrpgs usually don't do (and to be fair not all jrpgs do as well) is to add a variety of different activities in-game that are only remotely related to the main quest. For example, chocobo racing in FFVII, monster hunting in FFXII, leveling with a trainer while offline in Type 0, etc etc. Jrpgs aren't afraid to give some quality of life improvement features that may take away from the immersion of the game. Western rpgs are usually afraid to do this, they want their whole game to be very serious with no distractions (again usually).

On the other hand, Western rpgs (speaking only about elder scrolls for now) allow you to really become a character and feel like you're a part of the world they create. Also, the action combat really makes it feel like you are the one performing the strike, magic or skill. Dragons Dogma for me was such a breath of fresh air for how it combined some of my favorite aspects of both genres. Can't wait for DDII (...still haven't realy played the expansion of one though.. -.-*)

I can see the quality of software lacking for the device. The novelty may wear off quick when the software seems more like a tech demo or half finished idea.  It's a pretty huge undertaking and it's not like Sony devs have been lighting the world on fire with continuous quality content for the ps4.

 

It may go the way of the vita at least regarding direct support.

 

Whether that is legit or not, we already know the console's cpu is a bottle neck as stated by a variety of devs. I think the problem with morpheus is people are setting themselves up for disappointment because they wrongly expect the quality of software and graphics to match what's already on the PS4.

yikes, if people are expecting the same level of graphics on a vr then yea, fair enough. I've already realized it's impossible to expect ps4 level graphics on a ps vr device, so I guess I've saved myself any trouble. I just have issue with "some dev" being quoted as saying a certain device will fail, etc, etc.

If the PS4 can hardly do 1080p on its own, how are the developers going to tackle 1080p times two, at 120 FPS?

 

Got some words from some game dev.

"some" game dev? wtf? He's not talking like someone developing games, he's talking like a random internet guy like me and you. What proof do we have that this "dev" is indeed who he says he is? Hell, you could have written all of that!

on topic: With the amount the ps4 has sold world wide, if they're smart, the morpheus has the potential to do well. either way, vr tech is improving and i'm excited to finally be able to go into games!

FFVI, before the series went completely off the track into nonsense story land. (FFIX and FFXII being exceptions)

Yep, obvious fakeboyism.

tldr; a bunch of guys are misogynistic? how is this news?

Awesome video. If that was you, then you've got some great thoughts.

FFVI vs FFXIII really does sum up how to do linear and how NOT to do it.

Play the beta and it was cool. Has a board land feel to it. So I per order it.

phone posting?

3d viewing on 2d displays... yeah, I know I've been just WAITING for that technology.

I've watched some of it on twitch. It looks awesome. megaman/i wanna be the guy/splunk

I'm glad to see the forums can continue to maintain the same level of maturity I've come to expect over the past couple of years.

it IS a Nintendo forum...

ZING

no need to post a video of you and your Dad.

OOOHH SNAP

take out the liver part if you actually want people to watch the video, it makes it too obvious.

...maybe they're pokemon or something? who knows?

I saw a twitch tv streamer I've watched (and trust his word) talking about it as well. Not that that makes it ligit, but it's something.

Okay, now THAT was funny.

why in God's name would you link that 'thing'? Don't encourage him.

On topic: Sony still believes that their name alone gives them the right to charge a premium for their products. Unfortunately, the rest of the world has more than caught up and has lower prices. Sony needs to make a good product, sell it for a competitive price and stop assuming that people still gaf that they're Sony.
