Okay, so actually very many homeshizzles be talkin’ smack on Oblivion in that thread. That’s fine, different strokes for different folks. But this acidpope66 guy is just slanderous. I didn’t want to reply in the giveaway thread, but I can’t just let it go unchallenged.
im least happy for elder scrolls
That’s okay. =D
how many rpgs do we need shoved down our throats,video games are made for you and your friends to sit down and play together not one person playing for 2 min. then watching a movie for 10.
Uhm… I can’t remember the last time a dev team came to my house, and made me play their new RPG. It’s been at least several weeks, though, so I don’t see what you’re complaining about.
As for your claim that video games are made for multi-player enjoyment, it’s demonstrably false. Sure, SOME games are made for multi-player enjoyment, but other games are made for single-player enjoyment. (you can tell by looking for the place on the box where it tells you the number of players the game is made for) I can see you prefer the multi-player variety, so go buy some.
In addition, you charge that any game which lacks multiplayer capability is essentially reducable to “playing for 2 min then watching a movie for 10.” There are certainly some games out there that fit that bill, but you won’t find a Bethesda logo on them.
lets get back to the roots of video games and make them fun to play ,we seemed to have lost the fun factor and went towards the eye candy i for one think that dev. teams are being pushed to produce sub-par games just for a buck.
I still have an NES in my living room. You can’t have it, though. My fiancee and I still play Contra and Blades of Steel once in a while.
dev teams are being pushed to produce sub-par games to make a buck? That’s true! Among them is your pick for best xbox 360 launch title, DOA4. When you and I go to the store after launch, at least I’ll be paying my 60 bucks for a unique game experience with Oblivion… and you’ll be dropping 60 dollars on a new set of characters for Street Fighter 2.
I HOPE AND PRAY that microsoft will now break that trend with the 360 and start catering to the people who got them where they are ive been playing video games for over 20 years i hope to be playiong for 20 more!!!!!!! thanks
You know, I can’t help but notice that the golden age of video games(known to others as the Street Kombat Instinct-Calibur Era) for which you so eloquently express longing was an age of console gaming without Microsoft. By the time Microsoft came on the scene(are you even aware that the Xbox was their first gaming console?) most people had realized that the only reasons to buy new fighting games was if you’d melted your old one by playing too much, or if you really need to see the new female characters’ underpants when they do a high kick.
Anyway, my point is that lovers of fighting games did not get Microsoft where they are today, even if we limit consideration to the console gaming arena. Fighting games were originally a Nintendo/Sega genre, and then later Sony. These companies may owe some of their console success to fighting games, but Microsoft does not.
