No good games came out in July let's not make a big "The Game industry iz Doomzed" deal out of this

Awwwwwww

*puts away "doomed" sign*

MostJadedGamer4271d ago

Um they are comparing it to last July. So its a fair comparion, and games sales have been absolutely terrible this year.

TheFinalEpisode4271d ago

Yeah and no good games have come out this year IMO. Every game I've bought this year came out last year but I'm just catching up. By this time last year I had already bought 10 games, this year only 4. 2013 is already looking better than 2011 and 2012.

kneon4271d ago

There have been few games worth buying this year. I typically buy 12-16 games per year, I think I've only bought 3 so far this year.

MostJadedGamer4270d ago

There are very few games worth buying every year. So there is nothing unusual about this year.

nukeitall4270d ago

I can only remember buying ME3, and then mostly cheap budget games and even then, that has been few and far between.

SilentNegotiator4270d ago

It's July and this generation is coming to a close.

Anyone who is surprised is a major dingus.

schlanz4271d ago (Edited 4271d ago )

July, historically the absolute best month every year with regard to AAA releases.

/s

edit: oh. YOY. Still, with all the huge games set to release in the next couple months, I'm not surprised people are holding out.

Heeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't think its as bad as it seems if you notice the keywords "physical" and "retail"

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5064d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905064d ago (Edited 5064d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5064d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5064d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495064d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5064d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5064d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
