Quote: "Hype" is a funny thing. Everyone who's the slightest bit familiar with the gaming industry knows that any game worth playing will succeed. In this 2.0-type worldwide blogotron that immerses us, we get to find out every possible opinion on a game five days before it's released.
Opinions that are free from markedroid spin and uninformed fanboy glee, opinions from people who have played it all before and seen it all before and dare each game to impress...
From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."
The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)
From Xfire: "The four-hour director's cut known as Zack Snyder's Justice League has led to the discussion of movies in the past that might have fared a whole lot better had they been released to be more in line with the original vision of their creators. But, as it turns out, cut content doesn't just happen in movies. In fact, the act of cutting content before the release date happens arguably just as often in video games as it does in cinema."
I can't believe they cut stuff from Skyrim. At release, it was a barebones game with a slight improvement in graphics.
"Now, before we proceed, we'd like to say that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of the best video games ever made. It's not just a fine piece of gaming. It's one of the finest there is"
Really?
MGSV is easily the worst main line MGS game and not just because of cut story content, the open world is bare bones and there's hardly anything to do. It's repetitive, samey and is just lifeless. I appreciate the stealth mechanics, the animations and the way you can go with combat but it's not enough to keep me engaged the full way through.
Kojima should have done a twist and make the main chunk of the game a Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 remake to bring the story full circle.
Story issues aside, V has amazing gameplay. I'm not sure what you're wanting out of the world in terms of "things to do", it's all the great gameplay the series has always had. Useless filler that other open worlds have like collecting flags and petting horses would have added nothing to that game.
THE TRUTH! I don't even know how that game gets praised. The previous ones were so much better.
While we have witnessed a lot of remakes, remasters and even sequels to games a decade old. There are still some gems that are close to my heart that are lost to me. Here are some classic games that I'd love to either see remakes or remasters of, or even a sequel on new hardware.
This guys is on the case. Spot on if you ask me: looks like Will Wright has crawled too far up his own a$$ to be able to make good games any more!
a zillion space bucks that Spore ends up on all the consoles within 12 months. It is a given.
Especially as they are going to have to recoup all the money they didn't get because the game sucks

There is a problem with that. Some games that dont get hype dont succeed when they deserve to. Team ICO games are one instance of this. As well as Beyond Good and Evil.
BTW, I have never played any of those games and I know I need to now because I visit sites like this. But when I wasnt in the know-how, I never really even knew about those game. Why? No hype.
Anyway, I am still sorta interested in Spore. Just doesnt seem like the fun lasts long enough.
Gameplayer slag off everything, probably just to draw up some controversy and generated a few hits.
Has there ever been a game they liked? Perhaps if they hate games so much they should stop playing them, or at least stop moaning about them.
