I've had some time to reflect on this and I still think that the pricing structure on this is just wrong. It has nothing to do with Nintendo not being able to do the things Sony and Microsoft do, but you have to look at Nintendo's value proposition at the price point they are coming to market...

I have been one of the people saying that the Switch will be successful and people are under valuing the mainstream appeal. But I can't say that after last night. Nintendo has been a niche product since the SNES days in the home console market. I think paid online will hurt them because they...

I agree with everything that's been said about what makes Dragon Quest work. It's simple. It's not convoluted and doesn't go for extreme drama and/or melodrama. It's charming and nostalgic. It's also not for everyone. I fired up DQ3 on my tablet a couple months back and have been slowly...

I think people are underestimating the importance of having all of Nintendo's library streamlined on one console. As the last poster noted the 3DS alone has sold 60 million copies. If the Switch serves as a successor to the 3DS then that taps into a huge market right there. I think someone else...

Undertale. Maybe I just don't get it, but the game bored me to tears. I kept waiting for that moment where everything clicked and it never came. There's some cool stuff in there, but it doesn't deserve the praise that it gets, that's for sure. Add me to the list of people who don't think GTA...

I am almost always buying games from previous gen's. Right now my focus is on filling out my PS3/360 library and I pick up stuff from current gen on sale. I'll start really working on this gen's library when the Scorpio successor and PS5 are ready to launch. Very rarely do I buy anything new...

I have mixed feelings on gaming currently. Some days I wake up and think "I'm done with gaming. I'm not buying another non-Nintendo console and just going to play through my backlog. Lord knows there's enough games there to last a lifetime." Then I browse Steam and fall in love with a handful of...

So this came out today: http://eu.square-enix.com/en/blog/announcing-free-updates-final-fantasy-xv Makes me glad I didn't pick this up day one since it's basically an unfinished game.

I think there is some truth to the OP's point, but mainly around controls and camera's. A year or so ago I went back to play FFXII and I found the camera in that game to be insufferable compared to a modern game with a 3rd person perspective. Playing Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 a year or two ago...

I've pretty much decided that the PS4/Xbox One era will be my last console regardless of what happens next. There are three reasons for this. 1) My backlog is insane and the games in my backlog I actually want to play. If I keep buying new games and new consoles there is no chance I will...

I didn't think the ending was bad at all and I think that LiS did a better job than most of these games making your choices have some sort of impact. I would even go as far as to say that I loved the ending to LiS for a variety of reasons that I will stay away from that discussion to avoid...

I feel like if I take personal bias out of it, PS3 is the stronger console when evaluating the 7th generation, but for me personally I have more affinity for the Xbox 360 for a couple of reasons. First of all, the controller. The 360 controller is, in my opinion, the best controller I have...

I have to add Ellie from The Last of Us to the list as well. Just between the way she was written and what she meant for humanity and how the game ended. Just a great character. I think about what would happen to her as she got older, knowing what she knows (or thinks she knows).

I definitely can enjoy old games. I can pick up the original Final Fantasy and have more fun with that at times than a modern game. There is much to be said for the simplicity of older games in their mechanics and the way they tell their stories. That said, if an old game has terrible/broken...

Yeah add that one to my list. I didn't think of that since Episode 5 is still forthcoming, but I will definitely miss Max and Chloe a ton. And Life is Strange is one of those games that I feel will be hard for me to replay because it has that "my story is my story" vibe to it. It's hard for me...
