The media's quest for easy answers does no one any favors.
Get the scoop on Comedy Central's exciting new cartoon show inspired by the iconic Golden Axe video game
Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
GB: "With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the best games from the PlayStation 2's vast library."
With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.
It was worrisome to begin with.
It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.
Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.
Helldivers 2 manages just fine…
Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.
Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.
Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
Videogames will continue to be used as scapegoats when problems arise. The media want to find someone to point the finger and guess who's the easiest target? That's right videogames.
Video game violence is not the issue here. The problem is that crap parents use video games to babysit their kids instead of spending time with them. This leads to very little human interaction, creating introverted sociopathic individuals.
Im not sayin parents should force their kids to come and play catch with them but when the way they meet up is online playin cod instead of bein outside climbing trees, playin football, goin to the park. It means they lack some important interpersonal skills which have potential to create the type of sociopathic behaviour folks try and pin on games.
Im also not sayin that people shouldnt play games but i think folks under 16 should have a limit.
Lets keep this a secret here at N4G, I don't want the media to find out about what I'm about to say. It might make them look extremely stupid and force politicians to rethink their scape goat. Ready?
Violence happened long before video games were even invented AT ALL!
Who knew right? Thanks to this very important fact, all of us here at N4G are way smarter than every politician and media company! Like I said, don't tell them though. They get angry when you make them look stupid.
Blaming video games for violence because of AN IRRESPONSIBLE PARENT bought an 18 rated game for a kid..... Nice!
