From what I've heard, Nintendo's plan is to use mobile games to introduce casual consumers to their products, who will then purchase the dedicated platforms.
IE that Pokemon mobile game they just released, if ported to Android/iOS, could introduce the Pokemon series to casual gamers who would otherwise never have played the games, who would then (presumably) purchase a 3DS in order to play a "real" Pokemon game.
Nintendo obliquely announced a new console. It was more of a pre-announcement, but it's got people riled up.
People who hate Nintendo think, "why make a new console when you're having so much trouble with the console you've already got?"
And people who love Nintendo are terrified that this means Nintendo will prematurely end the WiiU's life-cycle before it has a chance to really develop.
Not gonna happen.
Thankfully they're easy to import.
Doesn't seem like much of a risk to me. Fans have been begging for a game like this for more than a decade.
Personally, I'm really happy for XV's success. It's a really fun game, but has a lot of... problems. I really, really, really want to see a sequel.
...Pick your battles, kid. Calling someone a fanboy for deriding a $4 discount "unbelievably crappy" ain't a battle you can win.
Medieval simulation sandbox.
You start as a nobody and do quests/combat to rise in rank. You can recruit other soldiers/mercenaries to help you (up to 80, IIRC).
The basic idea is that you start as a lowly peasant and can rise up to be a knight, lord, king, etc.
This game has so many problems....
But I still love it.
Hopefully there will be a Xenoverse 2 that fixes its problems and expands even further. I haven't seen a DB game with this much potential since Tenkaichi.
Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff fffffffff
There's too much DLC for this game.
Worse, there's too much DLC for this game that I want to buy.
I've got a sack of moldy bread in the rubbish bin in my kitchen that is better than the whole FF13 trilogy.
That's a full 6 more points than I'd have given.
So will all of the DLC quests be accessed via the Culina robot?
Godmars290... I've seen you posting on N4G for years. You know -exactly- what kind of people are asking.
Too short a development cycle.
It's actually very informative.
That such a thing can exist speaks volumes about how awful modern gamers are--begging for a port of so recent a game? Good ****ing God.
I thought it was bad enough that publishers were selling these cheapass ports to begin with--that so great a portion of the community is willing to ask for more... is profoundly depressing.
Sounds like bullshit to me. There's absolutely no reason to hire models to pretend to be models in a game. Literally anyone can do that for much, much, much less.
Seems like another one of those, "wacky asians" stories that turns out to be pure BS.
Except that's not what Double Fine is doing. They split their entire staff into 5 or 6 different (small) development teams. The idea was to pump out a lot of cheap games quickly, instead of investing all of their resources into a single project (that would then flop and ruin the studio).
The problem is either that these small projects are either way too ambitious for their budgets and staffs... or the development teams are way too small.
Their small games...
Every time I see, "B1G1," I think of Baldur's Gate. Shirley, I'm not the only one?
Broken Age would probably be finished if Schafer hadn't split Double Fine into a half-dozen different teams, each one too small to complete the single project assigned.
Not gonna bother reading the article because... does anyone really need to? Virtually everything that has changed this generation has changed for the worse. The only people who are happy with the way things are going are fanboys--and they'll jack off to anything.
Really? I can agree to making the areas more expansive (it's kind of sad that Battle of Z on my Vita has more detailed, more destructible, and larger environments than XV on my PC)... but for me the other main problems are transformations and playable characters.
Re: trasnformations... they need to affect stats more (in XV, a kaioken improves damage output more than all three SSJ forms combined). In fact, I think transformations should be separate from "moves"--...
