Only the Games write an opinion article to match their removal of all use of review scores. "There should only be dialogue. And all I see right now is a flow of shouting matches between people who are so wrapped up in their whole hearted gaming dogma, that they are blinded to the true hindrance of their tirade. One small step to getting out of this never ending rut is doing away with petty digits and scores. So if you're still hell-bent on damning a review, at least you will be fired up about an idea. And that is the first step on the right path."
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.
I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.
It's pretty ridiculous.
Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.
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.
More sites should be doing this. I've heard enough about this metacritic BS.
Let the words do it all, imo.
Numbers ftw, how else will JeanPool know if a game is good?
I guess games will have to go back to plastering "Best Shooter we've played" instead of "IGN: 9.5 out of 10!" all over the back of their box art.
Great idea! Maybe this will abolish fanboy ramblings.
