GotGame: You only get one chance to make a first impression and that impression can last a lifetime. This is true in life and in the world of technology. The Wii made a strong first impression and rode a surge of popularity to become a massive success story. Meanwhile, Sony’s PS3 had a bumbling launch that took it from first place in the home console market to third. While first impressions aren’t final (after all, the PS3 has made quite a nice comeback and the Kinect cooled swiftly after a hot start) day one success is more important than ever in today’s hype based economy.
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.
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."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Just want to point out that many of those wii u games that are multiplatform aren't just multiplatform but are big name titles however they have also been out on other consoles for anywhere to a week to a month to a year or more, and games like BO2 don't have all their features such as COd elite supported.. this is fairly unusual looking at those lists for a consoles launch; and they don't seem to do anything particularly new on the wii u excluding like a map etc on the screen on the remote.
Great article.
I think Wii U pretty much has all its bases covered. Everything from a Mario game to Call of Duty. Instant success right there.
You cannot compare a console launching with current gen titles to consoles that launched a new generation. Back when PS3 and 360 launched the technology was new so games were of a vastly lower grade while developers got used to it. The WiiU however plays current games not a new generation of games.
Not a bad launch by any means. I really want to see if ZombiU has become a true survival horror game that can live up to expectations and maybe even surpass them.
This generation been quite long but has offered many great gaming experiences for all platforms and I hope that things are just as good or perhaps even better when we finally begin the 8th generation of home consoles in just a matter of days.
Mario,Call of Duty,Zombie U.Success.
Good start.End.
