Don't know about you guys, I prefer Metro/Witcher/Stalker looks to Broderlands/WoW/whatever acid colours your eyesights crave.

The Wii U is the best console to own. It's 3+ consoles in one.

Good cohesive artstyles are more important than whatever flavour of the month colour palette is in at the moment, I mean that's what separates something like The Wind Waker from Sunset Overdrive. Scrub tier art direction is gonna look just as bad with beige and swamp green as it is with teal and orange.

Blizzard's art direction is always super on point, it's pretty crazy how much character they add to environments in WoW on a 15-year old engine.

A lot of games now are made on engines that do support just pushing a button to release for a different platform.

its really just fc3 in a new place. i don't really think much changed except adding grappling hook which is really just a gimmick used for a couple lovely first person platforming sections and to access a few hidden areas. you can mostly avoid using it by using a hang glider to get to the top of the section you would've had to climb.

what if there was just One console? One console and One pc operating system. then we would have a good life and there might be peace between gamers, game makers, and all?

nintendo could make weird but cool controllers and extensions and the other two could just release different console covers with their fave chars on them for it.

ok i have it. a PC. that is also a console because you can move it very easily to the tv. now companies will be forced to make games everyone will buy and play if they like it instead of because it is the only thing they have for my system and capabilities. this influx of money will go to making better and greater games. everyone will become a gamer and games enthusiast releasing custom mods and games for the new One System. they will be able to start their own companies and this wonderful economic market would make even obama look good.

FactsAreUseless posted:The mission design is so much better, though. Instead of campaign missions being the low points of the game (the incredibly lovely boss fights, the giant monster) they're variations on the central sneak-and-shoot gameplay. It makes a big difference, especially with the removal of the long slow unskippable dream/drug sequences. The game has so many quality of life improvements it's much more than FC3 in a new place. That new place is also really fun to play with. Northern Kyrat is much more fun than the South Island.
