Hyperbole is fun. Grim is defined as "forbidding or uninviting." I think you are conflating the words "grim" and "apocalyptic." I would find the gaming industry to be quite uninviting if all AAA games functioned as many EA games currently do.
I also think you meant "subsist," since the...
EA isn't going to kill the business. In a very real way, they are the business. I'd also like to point out that pretty much every large publisher acts similarly, as others have before me. The only reason EA gets singled out so frequently (as far as I can tell) is because they are absolutely...
I'd love to see it succeed, why not? I think that the game's initial flop has doomed it among the MMO crowd, though. It probably won't get another chance from a lot of people.
It's really hard to say because I don't think I've ever pinned down a "favorite" game or even game series. After some thinking, I concluded that Civilization is probably my favorite series and the latest installment (5) is my favorite of the series. I'm a political science post-graduate...
It sounds like you've already made up your mind and are just asking for confirmation. A lot of the enjoyment of GW2 centers around PvP and that's where it really shines. WvW is oodles of fun if you're in the right mindset, and it doesn't "play" like traditional PvP - you might enjoy it, but I...
An open question to those who define a gamer as one who plays "a lot": are the terms "avid gamer" or "hardcore gamer" redundant to you? If not, what do they mean to you?
What makes one a snowboarder? What makes one a reader or a writer? What makes one anything?
Repeated engagement in the behavior. That doesn't necessarily mean they do it "a lot" (a term which is so open to interpretation as to be useless).
You aren't the only one. I don't think the box art is nearly as bad as a lot of people are saying. That said, I don't even care about the box art because I've seen the gameplay trailer. I already know what to expect, a picture on a box is not going to change that opinion.
I'm surprised at the dissatisfaction with the story, honestly. Yes, the plot is pretty simple, but that doesn't make it bad. I've seen movies with complex plots that I thought were garbage (Inception) and movies with simple plots that I really enjoyed (The Avengers). My favorite movie of all...
The wings. Shoot the wings. Then you can kite them around all day long. You can do it with any (ranged) weapon and even at relatively lower levels. With how toothless they become after a wing is crippled, I can't help but feel like this was the intended strategy for taking them out.
I...
The writing for Spec Ops the Line is really just incredible if you ask me. I was genuinely disgusted, saddened and horrified by it. It portrayed the brutal nature of war in an era of video games where there's a lot of romanticism about the military. However, the combat just felt really...
This discussion happens over and over, but,
Agreed on all accounts. While I liked FO3 a lot, NV will always win in my mind because of how many directions I can take it. It really made me feel immersed in the world, much more so than 3. For one, your character's entire origin story is...
I've been playing a lot of Civ 5 recently, and I'm about to give Crusader Kings II a try right now. But really, I too am just counting down the days until Guild Wars 2 releases.
