The game industry keeps changing, and the games we play along with it. Each year turns out to be more tumultuous than the one before, with no end in sight. Some gamemakers are able to navigate these waters better than others. But even if they are generally able to make the transition from old models to new ones, there are still going to be bumps in the road -- many of which affect players.
The friendly folks over at Razer recently sent us their full size Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller, and this thing didn't disappoint.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them
The Epic Games Store continues to dish out free games and you can add two more to your library this week.
I agree with almost all of this.
My particular depression-inducing moments:
1) Kinect Star Wars: Whoever thought it was a good idea to shout "lightsabre on!" really needs to get their head checked. Heck, how they managed to ruin this game so badly when it had so much potential is beyond me.
2) Mass Effect 3's ending: Severely disappointing and such a shame considering how great the trilogy was as a whole.
3) PS VITA & COD: I really wanted COD to be good on the VITA. It had the potential to be great- everything was there- the VITA's power, cross-game chat and mobile gaming bliss. This would really have pushed VITA into the hands of the masses and is such a missed opportunity.
Nonetheless, 2012 was a decent year for gaming. Lots of great titles but it does feel like we're coasting now, the gaming equivalent of a lame duck period if you will. Oddly enough, some of the most amazing games look like they'll be coming out just before the advent of the next-gen consoles; GTA V, The Last of US etc.
Kinect isn't good enough, I'm sure the next version will be.
VITA is a great machine, let down by rushed software. Sony needs to stamp out crap software. better quality control. Also needs Monster hunter in japan.
The Xbox 360 actually is holding Kinect back. I can't wait to see what developers can pull off with Kinect on the next Xbox with all the additional processing power and with every console shipping with a Kinect sensor. So many possibilities for next generation.
People were disappointed with CoD Declassified? It was being developed by Nihilistic...Who the hell had high hopes for this game other than people expecting it to sell well.
Move along people; it's the same old "journalism" BS. There will be another ten of these articles for you to read tomorrow, don't you worry.
