Might be worth adding something like "spoof" to the title, it's gonna confuse the hell out of people and annoy them

Oh and it's not really funny anyway.

TrevorPhillips4193d ago (Edited 4193d ago )

Bro, I honestly thought it was real and I was like what the...! But thank God it's a spoof and he should add it to the title like you said.

csreynolds4192d ago

Brilliant article. Needs to be highlighted as a spoof though...

bubblebeam4191d ago

Sadly. If people on the internet weren't so stupid there would be no need. I hate it when people don't get satire, sarcasm, spoof comedy etc.

Sort of like when people have to point out their puns. So annoying.

JellyJelly4191d ago

You need to be at least 8 years old to grasp the concept of sarcasm. The median mental age on the Internet is 12. On N4G it's 4, with learning disabilities...

CrimsonessCross4191d ago

On the internet there is no tone of voice, so it is kind of needed to point those kinds of things out. Hard to tell whether someone is serious or not as well.

Understandable though.

bubblebeam4191d ago

@JellyJelly

4y/o, with learning disabilities? That's harsh man lol.

@CrimsonessCross

I know, but if you have decent reading and comprehension, it should all come to you (I don't mean YOU, just people in general).

Sarcasm can be hard to detect when speaking, depending on who is using it and how emphatic they are in their use of it.

csreynolds4191d ago

CrimsonessCross hit the nail on the head; tone in text can be difficult to identify. Some people can spot spoofs/sarcasm, others cannot.

If you're clever with your words, you can make anything false sound true.

bubblebeam4191d ago

@csreynolds

Except if you read this article, it is so obvious. If you don't get that the article is one big spoof, maybe the person shouldn't be reading in the first place?

csreynolds4188d ago

Don't be so narrow-minded. Yes, it is obvious - to you, me and more people besides, but that doesn't mean everyone else can see that...

You also need to take into account the increasing percentage of false articles that populate the internet, masquerading as truth. When there are sites out there reporting on the deaths of celebrities as fact, for some it becomes harder to gauge what is real or not.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6916h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker16h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6915h ago(Edited 15h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt3h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken33m ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
