I really don?t know, but it?s highly subjective. Halo CE-3 are at best 7/10 games for me personally. Shooting is decent but plagued with aim assist (actually I remember seeing a Microsoft patent for it that suggested the game pioneered its implementation), AI can be exceptional, but...

I just have a tough time believing it was because it was that good of a game vs simply having the right ingredients to be mega popular; kinda like how CoD has been since taking the console shooter crown. Neither of these IPs ever did anything exceptionally well technically or artistically when...

Good video, thanks for linking. I just checked Metacritic. ME:A, another game that had a lot of behind-the-scenes complications and didn't succeed at everything it tried to do, has a score of 71 for PS4. OK, sure, let's say that's fair. So Destiny's gotta be like a 40 right? 85, ************...

What?s odd is I personally think the same for Halo. I?ve played 1 and 2?s campaign, 3 online, and parts of Reach. I haven?t played any Destiny but would hope it?d be more interesting. It should have had a chance to be that way due to its setting, mechanics and loot system but I?m not a big...

I absolutely get enjoying the shooting. It's pretty good shooting. What I don't get is why there's no game around the shooting. In my experience, games that embrace the endless grind at least try to change the grind up on a surface level, by giving you new environments to explore, new enemies to...

I thought Widow/Hanzo would remain dominant in OW even after their nerfs and the great support rebalancing of 2018. So far OWWC seems to be disproving that theory.

So it's free on PSN and I tried it. And it's basically a MMORPG... if you cut out 99% of that MMORPG's content? Compared to WoW, there's just... nothing... here? Only 4 small zones, only a handful of enemy types per zone, almost no story, literally just a dozen NPCs over the entire story...

Although I'm not the biggest fan of the romance angle, you have to make allowances for the fact that SC only developed its characters during gameplay and mission briefings. We weren't following them around during their time off like we do in SC2. If Raynor/Kerrigan did have their first date and...

Yeah. Although I'd throw in a few extra arrows between WOL, LOTV, and HOTS, for good measure. WOL had by far the best cast of characters and came the closest to actually making the world of SC come alive. It actually had some of the moral ambiguity that made SC great back in the day. Tychus...

I should've clarified, I agree that Rank systems are great and pretty much needed for "level" types of games like MMORPGs where the design is based upon character building. But I doubt Quake, fighting games, racing games, RTS or sports games would have anywhere near the same type of following...

Blame it on the "Participation Trophy" era. Publishers figure the happier everyone is, the more $ they'll make off the rinse/repeat cycle these games rely on. Having said that, like others have mentioned there are rankings of skill levels outside the video game world. There kinda has to be...

Interesting. That hasn't been my experience. SC2 and Overwatch have MMR across all competitive game modes, same for Mortal Kombat X, DOTA, LoL, HOTS. What sort of games are you thinking of that don't?

I'm sure that at some point or another, everyone's thought, "I know I'm really good at this game, I'd love to log on and just stomp some noobs." But modern games make this incredibly difficult. If you're playing competitively, chances are you have a competitive rank, which (when it works) should...

So I guess you've never cried at a movie? :o

I've never had a single problem with my PS3 in the 7? years that I've owned it. That's gotta count for something. I'm no fanboy, but I am looking forward to shelling out for the PS4.
