With all that is going on in the world today I’d just like to make a small post that everyone can add to.
Japan is suffering right now and I have not heard from quite a few of my friends after the disasters that struck Japan. Not to mention the looming fear of the 6 nuclear reactors that will go at any moment. It has been very difficult to pick up my games within the last couple of days without first thinking of the problems in Japan. As I am still working on Tales of Grace F but have found it difficult to play the game, not Because of my limited Japanese but because I am so curious to see what is happening in the country that has given me so much happiness in the form of great multimedia.
I have lived abroad for many years, I can speak Thai, some Japanese and some Chinese, my inspiration for learning Japanese was so i could play Berserk for PS2, but have never been to Japan the one country I’ve always wanted to visit. And now I fear it will be many more years before I am able to go.
This Blog is in support of all the families and lives that where lost and also the hopes that after this hardship passes that Japan will come back even stronger than before..
I hope everyone that reads this post can leave at least one comment about the events in Japan. Please keep in mind certain sensitivities and try to be polite as many have died and not only us gamers have been effected by this but more importantly families and friends who have lost loved ones and colleges alike.
Sons of Valhalla is an exceptional 2D side-scroller action game that challenges players' strategic approach and skills management.
The armadillo returns.
I personally do remember Infogrames in the years prior to merger. They really did have a portfolio that stuck out and I enjoyed. I wonder what value they see in reviving it now though?
Sony is apparently experimenting with an AI tool that will play the game for you when you are grinding away. A PlayStation patent for “auto-play” mode would simulate your gameplay style in certain environments and apply them to skip that section completely. This technology would likely be built directly into the cloud-based PlayStation Network and be a new feature that subscribers would have access to.
Hah! Either will never happen or publishers will charge you to use this AI. This concept would only exacerbate the problem we already have with GaaS.
doesnt that concept already exist tho?
buy dlc to get a ahead in games? money, weapon and exp dlc come to mind but yeh. one more thing for them.to potentially charge for.
Usually, for GaaS/Seasonal games, you'll have to perform actions to earn specific in-game currency to buy things for events. Then they sell the currency with real cash or a third-currency to then buy the in-game currency items (it's honestly truly bloated to hide that they're cheating you out of money). With this, they'll just give you items if you do something 50 times or the like and then charge you to have the game play it for you. It's better, right? No currency shenanigans, just play the game and we reward you! But, the truth is they'll inflate the amount of times you have to play through content just to get the same thing.
Why?
Why not just remove the Grindy part?
I hope it's not an excuse to make them worse, but optional if you pay
This IGN blogger mode will allow 'reviewers' to play games like rest of us.
I will never forget watching GamingBolts spoiler video for Horizon FW and realizing they never played it. Made me wonder if they play games at all.
Reminds me of those 24 hours races in gran Turismo 4 having your PlayStation play for you.
But realistically if you have to use any of these for Grundy games there's a bigger underlying problem of the game not respecting your time in the first place.
Grind for game length is a real problem in my view
Amen to that :)
Sometimes we as gamers must step outside of the game and look at our community. Perhaps, for a long time, we shunned the JRPG for the WRPG. Now, we realize, people who make games for gamers to play are also gamers themselves. We do not want this kind of thing to affect our community, or any community.
So I say, I for one, will renew my interest in the JRPG, and begin to look at what is good about them, and stop comparing FF13 to F3.
I hope in my heart that Japan rises out of the ashes like a mighty pheonix and shows the world what it means to stand strong amidst horrible crisis.
My condolences to those who lost friends and family in this tragic occurrence.
