perceptive. Read this.

Zeldas and metroids, the best ones are typically around a 4 on this scale. Recent ones have slipped to 3's and even nearly 2's.

Im sure most would be pleased as punch to just put it back up to its natural 4, and not really all the way to 6.

 

Ahh, nice. Never looked at it as levels. 

lol Am I the only one who wouldn't pefer a more "OPEN" world Zelda game? To be honest, I haven't really played the modern Zeldas (Twilight & Skyward), I stopped after Majora's Mask, but I'm not too fond of most open world games. I tend to lose focus and end up derping around other than actually playing the game. Not too much of a fan of side quests either, these are things that take away from the story (imo). Deciding in which order you want to complete dungeons does sound like a good idea though. I just don't like the idea of it being more open than it already is. And multiplayer? lol please no.

 

but like I said, this is coming from someone who's only played OOT & Major's Mask.

Never really experienced Pikim. I'm sure it's a great game... I just wasn't very interested in it during the time it came out on GCN.

       This game in general 

 

Date: Dude should pay, it shows lack of interest otherwise.
Outing: Take turns / split the bill

Lmao til the next update and it's back again.

I didn't hear anything about backward capability, is this true?

Still they should have said this at E3, like most people i have already decided with my wallet.

i think he meant old games = used games

I'm personally getting a PS4 FIRST. Then I'll eventually pick up a XBONE later down the road. You can ask for our opinions as much as you want, but at the end of the day, just go with your gut feeling. Obviously majority of us are going to tell you to get a PS4, but if you think you'd like kinect and a little interested in Forza, then go for it. Xbox 360 had a few JRPG exclusives so I'm sure XBONE would too.

I just don't want everybody trying to get you to hop on the bandwagon if your that undecided.

•Both predecessor consoles have less-than-stellar add-ons

 

Can you explain why it's add-ons are less than stellar?

 

I can't really voice my opinion because I was young during the time Sega Saturn was released.

So protesting Microsofts draconian practices is not worthy of respect? No, I disagree.
 
on topic. I've said it before, but EA is actually honest about how ridiculous they are.
 
My vote goes to Square. Tired of them insulting my favorite series.

I agree with ea being honost, even though they have horrible business practices, they still have some stellar titles under their belt

Pretty sure majority of the users here will say EA.

 

In my opinion, as of now... I would say Deep Silver / Techland

Worked just fine in okami. You just seem adverse to learning new things, because in order to get good at something new, you first have to be bad at it. But you REALLY dont like thinking or figuring things out. You want everything done for you.

If you DID actually try to learn things on your own, you would have mitigated your dislike for having to draw so much by equipping the unite force gem, and simply held down the a button to max size your unite weapon, instead of drawing people in.

Not liking a style of game is COMPLETELY different than pretending you are awesome at this style of game and thus state you can tell its 'shallow' and 'poorly done' when you dont have the first clue how to play.
 

That would be either a silver or bronze medal.

Which would be B.ad or C.rappy in the viewtiful joe rankings that started the rank structure. And thats with lucking out with platinums on 2 puzzle missions you almost cant get less on. The game knows you button mashed. Congratulations, you made it through a demo by button mashing and got a horrible score.

Unless you learn how to play, you wont make it past the tutorial level of a platinum/clover action game. This ISNT a grasshopper/suda game.

 

Preach!

 

I can't wait to hear their thoughts once Bayonetta 2 comes out.

I'm downloading the demo right now!

release date says 9/15

I like how everyone is quick to pass this off as a "KID" game.

That's like saying Ni No Kuni is only for kids
That's like saying Pokemon is only for kids
That's like saying Pikmin is only for kids
That's like saying Little Big Planet is only for kids

Hmm, the Texas Giant is no joke! I've seen it for myself being raised in Texas.

That's awful though! I wonder what the cause was...

Most likely launch day,

I'll buy it during launch week depending how lazy I am lol

 

but yeah, working on my wii u collection so even if I play it or not, i'll buy it.

 

bwahaha, Kirby was too cute.

Funny, I don't remember Forza Motorsport, Project Gotham Racing or Fable being FPS or shooters.
What is the difference between a FPS and a shooter anyway? Do you mean a third person shooter (eg Crackdown)?

Classing all shooters as the same thing is pretty dumb, its like classing all sports games as the same, or all racing games. There is a HUGE variety in shooting games, Crackdown is nothing like Gears of War which is nothing like Unreal Tournament, etc.

There is plenty of variety in Xbox and PS3 exclusives, although personally I have enjoyed Xbox exclusives much more than PS3.

Also, my Xbox only broke once and Microsoft repaired it for free. If my PS3 were to break, even the YLOD which is reasonably common, Sony would charge me. So while I agree that Microsoft are annoying in their limiting functionality to Xbox Live Gold, when those things are free on PS3, they also have a console which has given much a much superior experience to my PS3.

I lost track of how often I have accepted a cross-gaming voice chat request, or replied to a message, while in the middle of a game, without leaving that game. The former of which isn't even supported on PS3 at all, sucks how they implemented it on PS Vita and at least some of the thing I had to quit games on PS3 just to reply to a message. On Xbox 360, even the game continued to load in the background if on a loading screen and then pauses automatically once its ready to play again. The experience as a whole is just so much better.

Then there is how easy it is to browse and buy stuff from Xbox Live Marketplace. Its so much more streamlined than Playstation Store. If you want to delete something I already downloaded its also MUCH faster on Xbox than PS3. Oh and I don't have to wait to bloody install things, once its downloaded its installed already. There are just so many ways Xbox is superior to PS3.

In fact the only thing I agree with is that iOS/Android cannot be considered proper gaming systems without REAL controls. However if they ever get that technology in phones where real buttons can emerge from the screen when required, especially if it can work for a comfortable d-pad, then at least some games will be more practical. Although I do not think we will ever have the same experience on our phones as dedicated consoles, as they have to worry about draining the battery too much so you can still use it as a phone.

So you named THREE non "FPS or SHOOTER" games... like i said... needs more variety. FPS are shooters, I wasn't necessarily classifying all shooters as the same thing but im talking about in general. They all involve shooting something right? Just like most sports involve physical activity... right?

As far as I know, I never had to quit a game just to read or respond to a messege on PS3. Cross-chat? I could live without it... why would I want to quit what i'm doing just to chat with someone about something irrelevent? IMO it's annoying playing games while somebody else is rambling about something else & I can't concentrate.

Also, I think PSN is more straight foward compared to XBL. XBL has too much crap going on with all the advertisements and different menus. I actually found it pretty hard to navigate, but thats just me.

At the end of the day, its all just a matter of opinion. I don't mind XBOX 360 at all & im pretty sure it has some good things to offer, but I definitely wouldn't replace my PS3 or even my WII U for one...

No need to turn this into a console war...

the ONLY ​good xbox exclusives are FPS or shooters. Needs more variety.

only things i'd play on pc are mmos and simulators (sims, rollercoaster tycoon, etc...)

PS3 has some of the best exclusives around, where you been?

IOS is irrelevent

I feel that Atlus's money making franchise is Persona which is currently sony exclusive (Except Persona 4 Arena). So in order for them to continue to thrive, they should be bought out by Sony...IF they were to be bought.

 

Nintendo doesn't need Atlus to get better support from third party developers. I feel they need more support from LARGER companies, such as EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Capcom, (the companies yall don't like) etc... in order to pull in sales. 

The ones I get to make myself.

Resident Evil Revelations has a Raid Mode.

I haven't played it yet though, so I couldn't tell you about it.

Bayonetta (PS3)
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (Wii U)

I want to start...
Borderlands 2 (PS3)
& BOPS 2 (PS3)

Eventually...
