The Opinion : The Gaming Industry's Clusterfuck.

To many cluster-fucks so little time....
You know... i've been playing video games for a while now, hell i'm 28 yrs old born in 1983 and ive seen a lot of good ideas and bad ideas from the gaming industry. it has got me bugged that the industry it self has gotten in to a rut, to were it only makes 1 type or style of game. for example any of the EA sports games,Most of the first person shooters such as CoD, and the major the MMO. now im not saying these types are bad or rather the games are bad them selves, but when a industry cant come out of a circle because THEY ARE AFRAID OF LOOSING THERE FANS. so here are a few things to think about.
it is bad for a industry of art to keep the same thing going on and on. now on the other hand as in EA Sports games they purposely milk it each year with a fucking retarded reason to bring out a new copy of what was made a year before. for example the past few years they put up a gestalt saying that they make the resolution better,made the game play smoother, then they added the statistics,and the final add-on a physics engine. each year during E3 they repeat the same format then show the game as a hook, kinda sad really.
now in the case for games like the MMO and CoD, i wont say i DONT like them im just going to say that the recent incarnations have missed the point of playing games as a whole. when you go online or play local with a friends or acquaints, you shouldn't have to be bogged down by petty competition. but on the other than a small amount of competition is good to keep the game going for everyone to have fun. here is another problematic issue at hand as well, LoL or rather League of Legends which initially at first was fun, key word "fun". they take the premise of playing a RTT (real time tactical) with RPG elements,but as of recent people have gotten worse and worse of the past year and the fun loving game turns in to a miasma of competition. this also extends to the recent CoD as well.
Now going back to the beginning of the industry's issue we have companies who are remaking game in a different image or they are making another game, such as god of war 4 and devil may cry. i didnt mind god of war its puzzles were irritating and complex to the point you keep coming back but didnt they just end the story of kratos in the third game??? as for devil may cry why did capcom give over the rights to a company who makes lack luster prince of persia/god of war knock offs ??? its kind of irritating that companies like capcom and santa monica basically are in a creation rut.and dont forget the huge mega man issue of development from capcom.
i applauded companies for trying new innovations such as Catherine,Mindjack,Bayonetta, and Last Rebellion. they each have there own merits,and have a beta type game play system that isnt like any thing seen. unfortunately 2 of these games had a bad review, because IT ISNT LIKE EVERY THING ELSE. which in my mind a game should be different than any or all AAA titles and should be giving a chance to show its unique game play system. i like all games some types more than others,i just think gamer's need to get rid of the spiked dildo up there ass and cut this ego drivin bullshit and give the games that were giving a bad review,made by a lesser known first or third party companies.
gaming companies need to start creating newer games regardless of what fans like becouse if they dont the industry will have failed so much just like the movie industry, music industry, and TV industry. id rather see it grow than to put or shove shit down our (as in us gamers) throats. enough said,,,,,

Welcome to the Wednesday Gaming News on Thursday! Aside from the fact that I started playing Pokémon Blue again yesterday, there's also some pretty interesting things going on in Game World... Let's take a look at the most important stuff.
Remember Prey? The sci-fi FPS that looks a lot like Dead Space? Well, a sequel to this game has been under development for a long time, and now it seems it'll be like that for even longer. Although it is still being worked on, it has been delayed.
Ever considered buying one of these super thin Ultrabook PC's, but haven't decided because you worry how it would handle games? Gamespy put it to the test! http://bit.ly/HTvvlV
Also, some news a lot of you are going to be happy about! Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has been confirmed! Take a look at this poster posted on IGN!
EDIT (April 21): More photographic evidence! The "poster" is a promotional box!
Also also, God of War IV might be released today! At least, this link tells us so...
But now... all news has sad news. We were proud to have a game like Skyrim... Realistic... Adventurous... Action-packed... But now... Oh god, I'm afraid to say it... My Little Pony has invaded Skyrim. Take a look at this video by Gamerboy385... if you dare.
And now to finally wrap this up, we know that Dead Space 3 will be released some time soon, that the 007 series will get a new game called "Legends" and that the character playing Hitler has been removed from CoD: Elite. But who wants to read about the details? Let's bring the hot IGN-girl out!

[REVIEW] Super Meat Boy [PC, XBOX Live, MAC, Linux]
On

[Story]
A classic story. And I mean classic. Like
really, really classic. Meat Boy has a lover, Bandage Girl. The two of them are
really happy together, until the moment when dr. Fetus shows up. What do we
know about dr. Fetus? Well basically, he's just pissed because nobody loves
him. But anyway... Meat Boy is pissed now too, and follows Fetus to different
worlds to save his girl. Cute huh?
[Graphics]
It's a 2D game, but that doesn't take away
the fun. The cutscenes are well animated for a cartoon-style game. But if
you're looking for realism, this isn't quite your game. Then again, what can
you expect some pieces of running meat to look like?
[Sound]
The music is simply amazing. It fits
perfectly what you have to do in the game. Epic orchestra pieces for the bosses
are the best. I also loved the sound of Meat Boy sprinting and wall-jumping.
Since he's a piece of meat flapping against the wall, it sounds like... a piece
of meat flapping against the wall.
[Gameplay]
Looking for the ultimate rage quit game?
Super Meat Boy calls dibs. This game is
extremely difficult and frustrating, having you die at the exact same spot all
the time. But then again, it is extremely fun to play and not long after
quitting, you want to play it again. To make it even more frustrating, there
are collectables called bandages, and by collecting them you gain extra
characters. There is also a Dark World, which is even harder than the regular
one, and after finishing the game, there is the even harder Cotton Alley, where
you play as Bandage Girl trying to save Meat Boy. Great game, extremely fun to play.
[Extra’s]
(optional)
Commentated gameplay of Super Meat boy will
be on http://www.youtube.com/IntFriction in a few days.
[Verdict]
Fun to play, but very hard. Awesome music, but the graphics could have
been environmentally better. Totally worth playing.
Pros
+ Hours of fun
+ Great music
+ Lots of characters and levels
+ A great challenge
Cons
- Environment graphically undeveloped
- Extremely frustrating
- Cliché story

[REVIEW] Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3
On
4/09/2012 11:45:00 PM
0
comments
Call of Duty
Modern Warfare 3
Platform:PC,PS 3,XBOX 360,Nintendo DS
Played on: PS 3
(Story)
The story takes place after Modern
Warfare 2. Soap is on his death bed, and you play as Yuri a ex
Makarov ultra nationalist merc. You also play as a American Delta
Force operative, the characters aside the setting is that of WW3
primarily between America and Russia. There are a lot of twists and
turns along the way. The end story is decent but short lived due to
length of the campaign.
(Game Play)
Just as the 1st and 2nd
Modern Warfare, not much has changed as afar as control scheme. The
game fluidity is that of CoD: Black Ops to were you don’t have to
stop and aim when sprinting, the only thing that missing was the drop
to prone. The vehicular combat is fun even though all of it is all
track style, what really surprised me was towards the middle of the
game was the M1-A1 tank ride.
(Multi-Player)
PVP: unlike its predecessor (Modern
Warfare 2), a lot of the system has changed. The newest change is
the introduction of the classes which does help but at the same time
it helps the game to shoot itself in the foot. The classes make it
easier to kill other players by giving them a job to do, majority as
of now are engineers and specialists which the engineers are a over
glorified summoner with a plethora of gear and weaponry, and the
specialists make it very easy to kill someone to the point of the
radar reveal still comes up blank. The weapons roster has change
some weapons are gone like the intervention,and the vector. All in
all the PVP is way unbalanced to the point of the player either has
to give up or become a “elitist”,which isnt the best for a game
that everyone wants to play casually.
Spec Ops: which like its predecessor
has either solo or co-op mission plus more. This time around they
added a survival mode and a balanced mission mode. The mission levels
range from a Training camp to the co-op AC-130 cover and infiltrate.
While the survival mode consists of waves upon waves of bots that
attack you and your squad mates either until you reach the final wave
or you end up defeated later on after several waves, whats nice
about this is that you have up to 30 sec to get new
weapons,gear,ammo,aerial weapons and vehicles. Either way you will
have a much more fun time, whether you play on local or online.
(Technical)
The graphics are basically a
reinvention of the same engines as modern warfare 2 and black ops. So
not much has changed on that scale. The sound is the same if not
better than the previous titles. But all of this could be improved if
you play it on the pc due to it being a console to pc port.
(Verdict)
Its a tough one to say, you’ll have
fun playing the brief but final chapter of the Modern Warfare
Trilogy, and you'll have a fun time playing together with some
friends on in the Spec Ops mode. Or unless your a
“hardcore,serious,blah,blah,blah” player you’ll enjoy the PVP.
(Personal Note)
the PVP is not as fun as the previous 2
games. It seems that activision and the newly staffed infinity ward
has totally forgot the ease of game play of Black Ops, and the
balanced action of PVP on Modern Warfare 2. I guess I kinda pisses me
off that they made it to were you have to play PVP 24/7 and serious
in order to get some were JUST TO HAVE FUN. In other words it take to
much time and effort from the player to get something, which to me is
wrong. Wait till it drops in price such as $40.
Pros
- Fluid Game play
- Decent Campaign with closure
- Fun co-op which has a lot to offer
Cons
- PVP isnt as fun,might as well get a real job and work for physical substance.
- Graphics on the pc is the same as on the consoles due to it being a console to pc port.
- The campaign time frame is 5hrs and 10 min which is really short compared to previous titles.
(Rating)
7/10

[Reviewers note]
I know that this is an old game. But I still
play it every day, unfortunately, the online servers were shut down a couple days
ago, so I had to make this review.
You are Old Snake, a master in the art of
sneaking and CQC, who is dying, and, with no more than one year still manages
to protect the earth from the biggest treath in humanity, his own brother.
In my opinion, the story is very well told,
and is the best possible ending to the Metal Gear saga, but, to a newcomer,
it will be very hard to understand, because there are so many references to
characters and important things that happened in the previous Metal Gear Solid games, that,
to get the most out of this game, you'll need to play all metal gear games.
[Graphics]
Visually, this game looks GREAT, even compared
to some newer titles. Characters look real, weapons look real, buildings look
like they should, dust effects feel natural, and everything looks like it
should. Kojima really put a lot of effort in this game’s graphics.
[Sound]
[Gameplay]
Let’s get things straight, MGS was always
about stealth, and this is just more of the same stealth, you still got the
alert phase, the carboard box, the health and stamina bars, everything. This is
not a bad thing, to the people who like it, like me, but, if you want, you
can play it as an action game too. That’s right, you can play the game how you
want to.
Also, you can carry all kinds of weapons, from
the simple stun knife, to the complex patriot, you got them all.
[Verdict]
I played through this game 11 times now, I have all
the badges, all the weapons, a ton of drebin points, all the songs, it is without a
doubt the best MGS game of all time, and one of the best games of the decade.
PLAY THIS!
Pros:
+ Great story;
+ Good characters;
+ Great graphics;
+ Great sound;
+ Great music;
+ Mix of gameplay;
Cons:
- The last Metal Gear Solid game(?)

[Story]
Skyrim is the fifth game
in the Elder Scroll series. Having to live up to the expectations of Morrowind
and Oblivion, it wasn’t an easy task for Bethesda to come up with a whole new
story. Imagine having created 7 RPG’s which have 100’s of quests, must be
pretty hard to come up with 100’s of new quests! But then you don’t know
Bethesda. They just keep producing these fantastic games with great atmosphere.
Skyrim is their ‘medieval, fantasy type of RPG’. If you aren’t interested in
that you could check out the post-apocalyptic RPG Fallout. The fact that this
is more fantasy based makes me happy. It has been a while since I have played a
decent medieval RPG! I looked forward to this game and it certainly has lived
up to the expectations. The story is amazing, you have a few main quest lines
which I’m not going to spoil but one of them involves a civil war whilst the
other is about slaying dragons. The story is very versatile as you can see.
There are 100’s of quests and there are a couple of guilds you can join, each
with their own unique quests and rewards. Bethesda really showed here that they
are the leaders in terms of developing great RPG’s. The whole concept of you
being dragonborn and helping the province of Skyrim slay these dragons is just
really well worked out. Kudos to Bethesda for making another great game!
[Graphics]
 |
| This in-game screenshot shows how beautiful the world of Skyrim is |
With their new engine,
Bethesda shows that they can pull off amazing stuff. They manage to capture
amazing graphics, realistic lightning and fun combat all in one. I was
personally amazed by running around at night in a random forest just looking up
to the sky. It looked phenomenal, that was until I got attacked by a sneaky
pack of wolves, I proceeded to just cut their heads off in an amazing cutscene.
I don’t know how they do it but except for Battlefield 3, this game has felt
the most realistic for me. Also noteable is the fact that when you cast spells
in a dark environment the room lights up for example. It’s the little things
that do it for me.
[Sound]
Sounds is absolutely
great, the soundtrack is one to be remembered and continues the successful
trend of Morrowind and Oblivion. When I
first launched the game I didn’t start yet, I let my xbox at the starting
screen just to hear that awesome theme over and over again! [link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJfApgSuRvo] The combat sounds are realistic and hearing
an arrow penetrate somebody's skull is just really satisfying!
[Gameplay]
 |
| One of the game's races 'Khajiit' |
I personally played a
sneaky archer/thief type character and it worked out for me. Having messed
around with a tanky/two hander char, it wasn’t that great. Melee combat is
quite clunky and just feels like button mashing. All you do is just swing your
sword around. I highly recommend trying archery, it requires some skill but it
is so much more satisfying. Running around is great and the less armor/items
you carry the faster you can run. You have a sprint function that drains your
stamina. Stamina can be recharged with numerous items such as potions or racial
abilities. You have an option to fast travel around the map using your
interactive 3d map or you can just hop on a carriage and travel around the
different small towns. I do prefer to just explore everything on foot for the
first playthrough tho! Except for fighting you can buy your own houses, get
married and even own a dog! Your wife will then open a shop and she will give
you the profit she makes and she will even cook you meals, such a great wife!
The gameplay is very solid, just avoid 2-handers!
[Verdict]
Skyrim must be my
favourite game ever released. I really like the setting and it feels great
running around the province of Skyrim. Bethesda made a masterpiece here and
that is why I’m giving this game a 9.5 If only they added some more features
and they should fix the combat system!
Pros :
+ Easy to get into
+ Lots of quests
+ Numerous activities
+ player housing
+ have a spouse
+ lots of companions
+ Diverse world with a wide variety of towns
+ Amazing sneak/achery system
Cons :
- Clunky melee combat for 2-handers
- killcams for archery would be cool

[Story]
Ezio's story finally comes to a close in Assassin's Creed: Revelations. The battle between Assassins and Templars continues in Constantinople, where Ezio goes to find a weapon that should end the Templar- Assassin war for good. Aided by the local fellow Assassins and some of their connections, Ezio goes to find the keys that can open a gate in Masyaf. A gate behind which lies the rumored weapon desired by the Assassins... and the Templars.
[Graphics]
Although the details on the characters may seem only "nice", or maybe even basic, this game has
AMAZING detail in the sky and weather graphics. Also, like in Brotherhood, the fluid water movements
 |
| Ezio using a zipline with the use of the new 'hook blade' |
[Sound]
Listen closely. What do you hear? If this game was about you, you would hear the exact same things in-
game. Yes, even the birds singing, footsteps and people talking. This game doesn't only make important
things audible, but also the smallest details that give the gaming experience a little extra. The voice
acting in this game is also exactly how you would imagine it to be. Italian accents, Turkish accents, anger, happiness, it's all there and you hear it.
[Gameplay]
I had a lot of fun playing Revelations. But also playing the previous games in the AC franchise. Why is Revelations so different? It gives us more. More weapons like the Hookblade and the craftable bombs, more terrain like ziplines and parachutes and, maybe most importantly, more ways of killing. Counters, streaks and combos are so epic, you'll even wonder if Ezio has aged at all. All these on top of the basic fluid running, open terrain and weapons from Brotherhood make an awesome playing experience.
 |
| Ezio sneaking up to his unknowing prey |
[Verdict]
Amazing game, can keep you going for days and weeks. Even after the story is finished, you want to
and can actually go on living in the world of an Assassin. Definitely to be recommended for any kind of
gamer!
Pros
+ More weapons
+ Excellent voice acting
+ Graphically developed details
+ Multiplayer
+ Free running in open terrain
Cons
- Confusing ending
- Fighting = Button mashing

[Story]
You are Cole Phelps, a World War 2 veteran who, after the war, became a police officer at the L.A.P.D.
While you are getting promoted and transfered to new departments, you will get to see flashbacks from his time as a soldier.
This keeps the story at a solid pace.
 |
| Cole inspecting a clue found at the crime scene |
[Graphics]
The graphics are the star of show here.
Not the necessarily the textures, but the faces and character models.
Rockstar used a new facial recognition technique which made the faces very realistic.
You can really see the characters' faces change emotions and the actors who did the faces are easy to recognise.
[Sound]
The voice acting is extremely well done.
This doesn't make dialogues a chore.
But then again, this game isn't all about action, but mainly about the dialogue.
[Gameplay]
Gameplay is of course very important in any game.
and besides the great graphics and terrific sound, Rockstar didn't forget about the gameplay.
The gameplay is mainly searching for clues at crime scenes, and using the evidence you found while searching against the suspects.
You get alot of variety in your 'cases' since you get transfered from 'Traffic' to 'Murder' to 'Vice' etc.
 |
| Cole receiving news on an autopsy report. |
[Verdict]
This game nails it all!
You got the great graphics and faces, the teriffic sound terrific, and the fun gameplay.
The only real downside is the fact that there is not really any challenge to it
Overall a great game,if you do not expect a gta IV like game, and the free roam mode makes you come back for more even after you've finished the game!
Pros
+ Great Graphics
+ Terrific Sound and Voice acting
+ Fun gameplay
+ Varied and fun side-missions

- No challenge

In my opinion, this game’s graphics are what make it so scary. the castle feels real, and all locations are nicely put where they are at. The monsters look really good and scary, and all the animations are great.
[Sound]
In a scary game, sound is very important, and, luckily, amnesia has great sound effects. From monsters screaming at you, to simple things like breaking objects, amnesia’s sound delivers it all!

| "An example of the "Insanity effects" |
Another very important part of this game is puzzle solving. There are a LOT of puzzles in this game, they are not bad, but some of them could have had some more explanation to them.
You have a sanity and health meter, both are extremely important in this game. The health meter, controls your life, and can be restored by taking some 'laudanum', which is basically a health potion. Sanity, on the other hand, is much more complex, when you face a monster for example, you sanity decreases, this will cause you to be seen if you keep looking. Sanity can only be restored by making progress or by staying in the light, and that’s where the lantern and the tinderboxes come in. The lantern is a limited source though, which will make you have to choose when you use it. All this survival-horror gameplay is great, and I love it!
[Extras]
For those of you who are afraid that this game may lack of replay value, there's no need to be, there’s a custom story option, where you can create, play and share your own scary games, this adds great replay value, and the level creator is simple to work with.
[Verdict]
I’ve been playing this game for six months, and I have to admit that this one of the best horror games I have ever played. I only think that the ending, and some graphical issues are a letdown.
Pros:
+ Simple story:
+ Awesome atmosphere;
+ Great sound;
+ Nice gameplay;
+ Survival elements;
+ Sanity meter
+Custom Stories
Cons:
- Graphical gliches;
- Lack of explanation;
- Endings;

[Story]
You wake up on a pile of corpses, without any idea who you are or where you are.
after you leave you will come across a 'fateweaver', these people can read your fate.
As reads your fate, he claims that you don't have one.
and so you are 'The Fateless One'
[Graphics]
The graphics look pretty sharp, although we have seen better, for example in Skyrim.
They are very colorful, which is something you don't very often see in a 'serious' RPG.
But you'll often be stunned by the beautiful locations you stumble across.
[Sound]
The sound in this game seems very nicely done, the only complaint is the lip-synching, which is just painfully bad.
[Gameplay]
This is the star of the show.
The gameplay borrowed some elements from God of War ; the hack 'n' slash combat for one.
Since this is an RPG, you level-up frequently, and after each gained level, you can assign skill points.

| Stealth has never been this fun |
You can experiment with the 3 classes as much as you want, and create new subclasses, like the Paladin; which is a mix between Might and Sorcery.
Oh, and did i mention you can have your own, upgradable houses?
Yes, it's as awesome as you'd expect.
[Verdict]
This Action-RPG by 'Big Huge Games' has left me amazed for some time.
But this is a game that you either hate or love, there is almost no 'in-between' here.
Definitely an excelent break from skyrim
Pros
+ Fun Gameplay
+ Good Graphics
+ alot of things to do
+ massive world
+ experimenting in the class system
Cons
- Story isn't too good
- Lip-Synching is just too painful to watch
