Re: Poll: Will You Buy The Last of Us: Part I?

No reason to. The original game looks fine, if not better in some shots. Arguably there may be some gameplay improvements, but not enough to justify the high price. And I can’t imagine any of the changes they’ll make will be good. And it’s really uncomfortable calling it part one.

Hard pass from me. At the very least it doesn’t look like it will be butchering Joel’s character as much as I thought.

@nessisonett Depends, on whether the devs/publisher are competent or not.

Luckily there are some companies that will finish their games before releasing them. Unfortunately it's embarassing that the cycle you mention isn't uncommon nowadays. But that doesn't mean it's a smart idea. It's dumb, because whether it's before or after launch, work whether it's bug fixing or adding new content takes resources to complete. Delaying a game means a temporary delay in game sales, whereas opting to fix a game after launch simply results in devs wasting time on fixing the old game (when they could be starting on a new project) and the consumers lose trust.

I get it if it's a small company and they urgently need to put out a game in early access to keep the company afloat, but EA doesn't need to.

@Texan_Survivor Unfortunately Pokemon as a brand is so beloved at this point, developers can churn out any awful game and it will sell because players can use their long term favourite Pokemon in it. The Pokemon Company knows this, which is why there's been a massive lack of effort to put resources into their games, despite being the one of the biggest selling franchises in history. Why put in the extra money to hire more devs and make the game better, if people will buy it anyway.

This is all from a Pokemon fanboy.

Re: Video: Which Call of Duty Game Is the Best?

World at War.

Best multiplayer maps, most recognisable visuals, felt like it represented the context well, most fun weapons to use (apart from MP40 being OP), solid SP campaign, well done DLC, and the awesome intro to Nazi Zombies that can never be replicated.

Closest thing to a perfect COD, I wish they’d try to make a successor.

@GamingVeteran An awkward mix of dopiness and angst. Ellie doesn't look much better tbh, maybe she just looks somewhat cuter. I'm not entirely sure why something isn't visually appealing, if you absolutely love it, good for you, I don't really care. Consider chilling out next time someone has different opinion on a LBP skin.
