Also of note, they're planning local co-op and an Evade function.
It's like they want people to hate them.
1-Up died today.
I've been listening to those podcasts for what is like 6 years.
This is bumming me out way more than it should.
Ziff-Davis, when they sold 1-Up to UGO years ago ushered in the original 1-upocalypse that saw most of their best writers and staff laid off. 1-Up switched hands until it ended up under IGN's wing. Ziff-Davis buys IGN. Lays off most of the 1-Up staff and shuts it down. The second and final 1-Upocalypse again at the hands of Ziff-Davis.

I'm too lazy to go dig up the ME3 thread.

*deafening silence*
"When the adventure is over, reconnect with your favorite characters from the Mass Effect Trilogy, try your luck at the Citadel’s Silver Coast Casino, blow off steam in the Armax Combat Arena, or explore and furnish Shepard’s own living quarters on the Citadel. With unique content and cinematics featuring your friends and romance interests in the Mass Effect trilogy, Mass Effect 3: Citadel offers one final chance to see the characters you have known for years and rekindle romances.”
WTF is this shit?

ARTISTIC INTEGRITY GAIZ
Mass Effect 3: Sims 4?
I sold my copy.
I wish we had a shut the hell up button for that thread.
I want Sim City 5 so bad,but it is on Orgin,which is a dealbreaker.
Are you just trying to kill any future games from being bought, EA? Micro-transactions in everything?
I think we're slowly seeing a new separation come into being. The triple-A big publishers who sell "games" that are commodities, online-only, microtransactions, etc; and smaller (not necessarily "indie"as we now know it) actually releasing games as products. At least I hope so...As, in such a scenario, at least there still are some normal games still being released. Blizzard isn't interested in people who just buy a game once anymore, neither is EA, nor Ubisoft. It's as if the prospect of people continuing to pay for something after the initial costs, making it "free money", has really completely and utterly blinded these people?. I'm sure there's a market, and a big one, but...Egad.
Also, Blizz has been reversing a few of their not-so-much-with-the-fan-love decisions lately. Ne management? Did they allow Bob acces to the Blizz HQ for a while?

This is the problem in letting businessmen into a hobby you love. It becomes less about the consumer and more about the consumer's wallet.
Good.
Slight fix, due to there being plenty of small publishers getting great games out for PC. Kickstarter/Steam Greenlight unfortunately can't really get into the console scene and is still going to be dominated by the idiot big publishers.
Ouya and Steambox might change this, but for now, yeah, there's a big wall around that playground.
2012 sucked on the game landscape. Not saying there was nothing good, but overall it was a poor year.
Except 9x out of 10 when an indie game comes to a console and a PC, the PC gets all the updates and the console either never gets them or gets them way past the game's popularity.

People have been predicting Nintendo would go software only since the Gamecube days. It's not going to happen as long as they can keep their stranglehold on the handheld market.

The most striking quote to me, from that article was:

Hey Quotemander Prime, remember how you loved the naval minigame from Assassins Creed 3? Well, Assassin's Creed 4 is apparently going to be a whole lot of naval minigame.

Damn you, Ubisoft! I've been so unmotivated playing AC3, going a couple weeks between playing an hour or so, only motivated to unlock naval missions. I was going to make AC3 the last AC game. Looks like that's not the case.
That navel mini-game in Assassin's Creed 3 deserves it's own game... just not like this.
Why not?
