George: "The action adventure is one of the staple genres of gaming, and it is one that seems to be immune to the passage of time. Every year sees the release of top class adventure titles, with every subsequent game seeing the bar raised ever so slightly higher. It’s a slow and steady level of improvement we see within the genre, but 2013 may give the action adventure a real shake up. We have plenty of great action games to look forward to next year, and here are ten of the best. This list includes new IP/franchises as well as the age old big names."
Windows Central: “Embark Studios' ARC Raiders is the extraction shooter I've been waiting for. Here's why it's better than Bungie's upcoming Marathon.”
This is silly. I think both games are amazing. Both games can be very successful at the same time and I hope they are.
I hate articles like this. “My opinion is all that matters. Click my stuff”. Both games will have their audiences. Some ppl like rock. Some ppl like rap. Not everyone is the same.
So we can we can see into the future now? I’m sure ARC is fine, me personally? Far more interested in Marathon. Between known Bungie’s solid gameplay and world building to the aesthetics and concept, I’m all in on Marathon.
I played the Technical Test 2 earlier today and had a blast. I got thrown in an instance, saw a guy walking up some stairs, started shooting at him and watched him run for his life. It was funny until I got killed by some random drones. They're both different games and will have their space. Only the gameplay loop will tell.
Why do gamers/gamejournalist do this? We need to stop with all this doom article game shit.
windowscentral wouldn't have wrote this "piece" if Bungie was still owned by Microsoft.
And yes, I'm implying exactly what anyone reading this comment thinks.
The Illuminate made quite a mess in the previous Major Order and it's up to Helldivers 2 players to clean it and reclaim important sites.
In today's special State of Play presentation, Creative Director Graeme Timmins and Senior Project Producer Anthony Nicholson showed off the deepest ever look at Borderlands 4's explosive, carnage-filled gameplay.
For dedicated Borderlands player, what is the vibe/take on this game? Pre-order worthy?
I was hoping for improved visuals, but it still looks last gen. Looks fun though, hopefully it's more borderlands 2 and less borderlands 3.
I personally think it looks pretty good graphics wise. Probably not the best example of a next gen game, but there's only so much you can do with that art style.
It's just more Borderlands, for me that's a good thing. Looks like they've added to the more free flowing movement from the third game.
I don't know if I'd pre-order, I'll probably just buy it on release day.
God of War: Ascension will be another masterpiece from Sony Santa Monica! And I can't wait for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2! The first is an amazing game which I'd highly recommend to any fans of the genre, the sequel will be ever better.
I'm not too sure about Remember Me, hopefully it'll be good. Bioshock Infinte is pretty much guaranteed to be amazing. Tomb Raider looks bloody awesome, it's the reboot the franchise has needed for years. Splinter Cell: Blacklist should be very good if it's more like Chaos Theory and less like Conviction (which was still good).
I'm not interested in the rest, although I've always wanted to try the Dead Space series, I hear they're good games and they're very cheap now so I'll probably give them a go before Dead Space 3 releases.
And I thought 2012 was an epic year for gaming. Castlevania LOS 2, Bioshock Infinite, Dead Space 3, Aliens colonial marines, God of War 3, Ni No Kuni, The Last of Us...... Looks like my backlog is gonna get even bigger! Bring on '13!
