I swear Mors has some serious spidey sense when the topic Skyrim is discussed. I will agree that Bethesda has monkey's running the QA department as their games are buggy as hell but they have made three games that I put at least 500 hours in. Skyrim, Fallout3 and Fallout New Vegas (Obsidian but published by Bethesda).

Well those monkeys are intellectual titans compared to who/what is in the QA department at EA. I really enjoy the games from Bethesda, all the Elder Scrolls and Fallout but I can see why mors does not care for the paper thin stories and repetition.

I don't know, I played the GOTY versions of Fallout/NV so they had already been patched to the gills and both were a mess. I finally had to turn off auto-save (on everything) with Fallout NV to avoid a corrupt auto save every other time I walked out of a building.

If I want great stories, I will read a book or watch TV. I would rather just be killing things when I have a controller in my hand. Have a plot, minimal cut scenes and keep the NPC discussion short.

Sounds exactly like me right now with Defiance. Yeah, the storyline in the game may not be the greatest, and between the main missions, episode missions and side missions, there may be a lot of repetition, but for me, the big focus in Defiance is going around killing stuff, and teaming up with dozens of other people to do some SERIOUS killing on the big final "bosses" of the Major Arkfalls.

I can be in the middle of a mission in the game, and if I spot a nice little group of enemies, or have an Arkfall pop up on my map nearby (or Major Arkfall anywhere for that matter thanks to fast travel), I drop everything I'm doing in the mission and am going off to kill some enemies or hauling ass to an Arkfall. That's the big thing for me in Defiance. Reading online, some people have the repetition and weak story as their biggest complaints (well, biggest complaints that aren't bug-related).

But for me, I can overlook that. The killing and the teamwork required to kill certain things, is the big sticking point in the game for me and what keeps me loading Defiance up seemingly every time I get on my 360 since I bought it a week ago.

There is so many games coming out within the next 4 weeks I'd like to get:
Madden, Farming simulator, Hockey, GTA
but only gonna be able to get one

I never play Madden more the a few seasons and don't feel I get my moneys worth out of it
The Hockey demo was a lot of fun but can't afford to buy two games this month
Farming I'd love to plant my seeds in someones field
So I will just keep playing NCAA and Minecraft until GTA comes out. :nod:

Yeah, I won't. I don't mind adding a 3rd person element but I don't want it replacing the game I enjoy :fp:

I have the game and I think its okay, not as good as XCOM but it does have the xcom elements. You move our soldiers, you lay down turrets and use powers with your team, but its not nearly as bad as mors is saying it is or even the reviews say it is.

I wouldn't pay full price for it though, catch it on the winter sale I'm sure it will get a nice discount.

Already own everything except Midnight Club. Never played it, never really interested me much.

Ok, so I have to take this comment back.

I bought Midnight Club: LA from Xbox Live on Monday the 2nd during their big Rockstar Games sale that they had going on. Midnight Club: Los Angeles - Complete Edition was something like $7 with the sale price, so figured what the hell. Rockstar hasn't let me down in the past with Red Dead Redemption, the Grand Theft Auto series and L.A. Noire, so I took a shot in the dark and bought it. Damn have I been having fun.

Didn't get too deep into it last week, mostly only ran one or two races, spent a lot of time in police pursuits (so many that I racked up enough fines to leave my money sitting at -$4,870), but didn't really get into much of it. Well, since Sunday, I've been sitting down and getting more into it. Already knocked out a good couple dozen missions, well into the hundreds in races, my balance at last look was something like $77,000, and that's after having bought two "better" cars (than my starter car). My rep rank is currently Elite Racer, somewhere in the mid-15,000's, so my newest car is a Dodge Challenger, making races much easier with the increased speed, acceleration and handling over my older cars. Focusing on trying to get up to Legend so I can unlock level 2 of performance upgrades for the Challenger, boost and max that bitch out.

So definitely a hell of a lot of fun. It's a shame it took me this long to get around to playing MC: LA, but I'm definitely enjoying it right now.

It does have one drawback though, in that it's killed any time I could have spent on trying to resurrect my Utah State dynasty in NCAA '14. Between MC: LA and co-oping Dead Rising 2 one or two nights a week with my best friend from college, NCAA '14 has been hard to slip into the rotation of time I actually spend on my 360.

NPD Sales Results for September 2013

5 Week Month

Overall:

Retail Software Up 52%.

Hardware Down 13%.

Overall Retail Industry Up 27%.

http://abload.de/img/138204474823gdld4.jpg

Notes:
-GTA V represents over 50% of all dollars spent this month.
-GTA V was the highest opening for the franchise.
-NPD did not say it was the highest opening month ever, so it's quite possibly behind the highest CoD games.
-GTA V was the highest selling game in any September on NPD record.

Hardware:

3DS: Best selling platform.
PS3: Best selling console. The GTA bundle represented a large portion of its sales.
Xbox 360: Has sold 1.6 million this year so far. This gives us an estimate of 169K (thanks Aquamarine).
Wii U: Up 200% from last month. To note, a 200% increase means it's three times as much as last month. For speculation of what that number could be, go here. Any official numbers will be put in this spot as they come.

Xbox 360 continues to see strong consumer demand with an amazing lineup of titles. In fact, Xbox 360 held five of the top 10 consoles games during the month of September including: “Grand Theft Auto V,” “FIFA 14,” “Madden NFL 14,” “Diablo III” and “NBA 2K14.” (Source: NPD Group, September 2013)
Xbox 360 remains the number one selling console in the U.S. in 2013, with 1.6 million units sold this year. (Source: NPD Group, September 2013)

Xbox 360 is poised for another successful holiday with recently announced Xbox 360 holiday bundles available worldwide at select major retailers. The three holiday bundles are:

Xbox 360 250GB Holiday Bundle with “Halo 4” and “Tomb Raider” as well as one month free of Xbox Live Gold available for $249.99** USD (ERP).
Xbox 360 4GB Kinect Holiday Bundle with “Kinect Sports: Season Two” and “Kinect Adventures” as well as one month free of Xbox Live Gold available for $249.99** USD (ERP).
Xbox 360 250GB Kinect Holiday Bundle with “Kinect Sports: Season Two,” “Kinect Adventures,” and “Forza Horizon” as well as one month free of Xbox Live Gold available for $349.99** USD (ERP).

This holiday only, the Xbox 360 4GB Console is available for an incredible value of $179.99** USD (ERP). Now is the time to get a great deal on Xbox 360.

Looking ahead to Xbox One launch, we continue to see overwhelming demand for the console with pre-orders for Xbox One selling out quicker than any previous Xbox release; Xbox One pre-orders continue to outpace Xbox 360 pre-orders in the same time period. While we remain on track to honor all pre-order commitments, we do expect to sell every Xbox One we deliver to retail this holiday.

With the release of Xbox One, amazing new titles coming to Xbox One and Xbox 360 and best-ever holiday offers available for Xbox 360, it’s going to be a great year for Xbox.

Nintendo enters the critical holiday selling season with strong momentum, as Nintendo 3DS finished as the best-selling video game system in the U.S. for the fifth consecutive month and Wii U enjoyed new momentum following a price cut.

On Oct. 15, Nintendo revealed that Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, which launched globally on Oct. 12, combined to sell more than 4 million units worldwide during its first two days on the market. A full breakdown of U.S. sales for the games, as well as the new Nintendo 2DS handheld, which launched on the same day, will be included in next month's NPD report. In addition to the latest Pokémon adventure, Nintendo 3DS fans have two exciting games on the horizon, both launching on Nov. 22: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Mario Party: Island Tour.

On Sept. 20, Nintendo reduced the price of the Wii U Deluxe Set by $50 to a suggested retail price of $299.99 and introduced a limited-edition bundle that features a download code for a digital copy of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. Sales of Wii U hardware in September increased by more than 200 percent over sales in August, and that is with only 15 days of data being reported at the new price. Over the next few weeks and months, Wii U fans can look forward to playing Wii Party U (Oct. 25), Wii Fit U (Nintendo eShop, Nov. 1) Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games (Nov. 15) and Super Mario 3D World (Nov. 22).

EA Cancels Command & Conquer, Victory Studios Closed (http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/29/ea-cancels-command-conquer-victory-studios-closed?utm_campaign=ign+main+twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social)

Victory Studios has closed, according to its marketing manager, alongside the cancellation of its free-to-play version of Command & Conquer. A letter on Command & Conquer's website, which details the reason for ceasing production, was allegedly "not ok'd by the team."

The letter reads, "Your feedback from the alpha trial is clear: We are not making the game you want to play. That is why, after much difficult deliberation, we have decided to cease production of this version of the game." EA will be refunding users who spent money during the duration of C&C's closed alpha. IGN found Command & Conquer underwhelming earlier this year. At Gamescom, EA and Victory revealed that C&C would receive campaign content -- which was previously removed -- in 2014.

Victory Studios' last words on the site state, "We believe that Command & Conquer is a powerful franchise with huge potential and a great history, and we are determined to get the best game made as soon as possible. To that end, we have already begun looking at a number of alternatives to get the game back on track. We look forward to sharing more news about the franchise as it develops. Thank you again for your participation and support."

http://kotaku.com/ea-wants-you-to-feel-like-their-games-are-a-steal-1457060464

The implication from Wilson is that EA hasn't been giving their gamers enough value, regardless of whether they've been charging $60 for a game or nothing. And being named Worst Company twice has certainly stung Wilson, Soderlund and other top folks EA.

"When we got this the second time around, if you don't think about it as an executive in the company, you probably are not doing the right thing," Soderlund said.

It's impossible to go one day without dealing with the public and blowing air up their ass to make them feel special, even though their opinion doesn't matter one damn bit when it comes to our daily operations. Any changes we make or do ends up coming down from corporate, not because one random person felt the need to complain or share their opinion about something.

Lol.

Have either of you guys EVER worked for a big company? Of course the execs are going to say it is important, they're not going to say "that voice is insignificant and doesn't matter". But, the truth is, it is unimportant. Think of it this way, the sim community is small and insignificant to the big picture, however, the company would never say that. They want to sound like every voice is important. It's PC rhetoric.

In the past I did....distant past......I also have owned several small businesses and while I agree that the customer's "voice" is unimportant their dollars are not.

And I work in radio. It's impossible to go one day without dealing with the public and blowing air up their ass to make them feel special, even though their opinion doesn't matter one damn bit when it comes to our daily operations. Any changes we make or do ends up coming down from corporate, not because one random person felt the need to complain or share their opinion about something. But, we still have to put on the dog and pony show and blow air up people's asses to make the people feel like their opinion matters when it comes to what we do.

Actually your company caters to advertisers....they are your real customers. Joe public spends nothing at your station......unless.....you work for NPR :fp::glare::D

I got hit with some of these a week or two back for songs in NBA Live. However, it looks like things have gone out of control since.

I assume the ads are what contribute to paying them, CLW, but I am not 100% on that.

Personally, I do not understand how people can get paid for gameplay videos or just voicing over gameplay. IMHO that is not original content. Though, many claims on YouTube are ridiculous, even before this. We got hit on some NCAA 'Game of the Week' preview vids we did a couple years back by (IIRC) XO Technologies, a company that AFAIK is not involved with production of the game in any manner. EA was no help in removing the claim, so we deleted the video and quit producing that feature. I can understand the frustration that exists. After all, you can't fight City Hall (or YouTube)...

Yes. It's from the ads (that I never even see because of adblocker) but it's also from the view counts. That make a percentage off of the number of views they get (like $100 per 25,000 views or somethin' of that nature). It's why people make viral videos with ads on them. It's an instant $1,000 or more.

My take on this whole YouTube thing thus far is this.....

First things first - STOP & BREATHE (No seriously - stop, take a breath & THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SAY)

Secondly, addressing the heart of the issue - THERE IS A WAY AROUND IT

That way is to MUTE THE MUSIC (Or turn it down so low that's in the foreground compared to your own voice)

This is what many of us sports gaming YouTubers do. This puts us in the position of acting as spectactor/announcer/coach as we add our own PERSONALITY to our videos

Now that said, I'm NOT going to sit here & pretend to know the scop of Google's actions here (I've downloaded the entire 4 part series that one group of YouTube gamers did & will sit down & watch it to have a better understanding) BUT for those who thought they could make LOADS of $$$ off someone else's work SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS IN THE BACKGROUND OF THEIR GAMEPLAY, I can't say I have much sympathy for you because (As I indicated before) there's a way around it (And I've outlined one example above)

To those who even went so far as to QUIT THEIR DAY JOBS (As was asserting in one of those videos) thinking they could make a living SIMPLY BY PLAYING GAMES ALL DAY - I have to ask WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE ON ?? Do they SERIOUSLY think they're EVER gonna make BOATLOADS of $$$ just by playing video games & uploading videos of that game play to places like YouTuibe for monetization ?? WHO ARE THEY KIDDING (Aside from themselves) ??

Now I suppose I'll have a slightly different take after watching the aforementioned 4 part series but if what I already know is all there is, I seriously doubt nearly 7 hours of video (The total amount of time devoted to the series) will change it

Either way, I'm either WAY WAY off & there really is a problem OR I'm right on target & all this is just much a do about nothing at all. From what I'm gathering from people here, there's no in-between

JMO at least for now.....

Cheers & Happy Gaming :)

With the return of R.B.I. Baseball, I was reading up on Tengen. Pretty interesting story about those weird looking carts (from Wiki):

Tengen unsuccessfully tried to negotiate with Nintendo for a less restrictive license (Nintendo restricted their licensees to releasing only five games per year, and required their games to be NES-exclusive for two years). Nintendo refused, so in December 1987 Tengen agreed to the standard licensing terms. In 1988, Tengen released its first and only three cartridges licensed through Nintendo—RBI Baseball, Pac-Man and Gauntlet. Meanwhile, Tengen secretly worked to bypass Nintendo's lock-out chip called 10NES that gave it control over which games were published for the NES. While numerous manufacturers managed to override this chip by zapping it with a voltage spike, Tengen engineers feared this could potentially damage NES consoles and expose them to unnecessary liability.[citation needed] The other problem was that Nintendo made frequent modifications to the NES to prevent this technique from working. Instead the company chose to reverse engineer the chip and decipher the code required to unlock it. However, the engineers were unable to do so, and the launch date for its first batch of games was rapidly approaching.

With time running short, Tengen turned to the United States Copyright Office. Its lawyers contacted the government office to request a copy of the Nintendo lock-out program, claiming that the company needed it for potential litigation against Nintendo. Once obtained, it used the program to create its own chip that would unlock the NES. When Tengen launched the unlicensed versions of its games, Nintendo immediately sued Tengen for copyright and patent infringement. In the initial phases of trial, the court sided with Nintendo, but the sides settled before the matter was fully resolved.

Tengen faced another court challenge with Nintendo in 1989 in copyright controversy over Tetris. Tengen lost this suit as well and was forced to recall what was estimated to be hundreds of thousands of unsold cartridges (having sold only about 50,000).[1]

I have only played it a couple of times. There is a specific trophy mode for each level. To my point about the game being challenging, I think the one of those trophies with the highest unlock rate was the second level at, like, 9% or something. The first level, the target number of hooked pairs is 22. I got 20 once and 19 a bunch of times. I think I played for about a half hour before my eyes filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board.

1/10 is bad but...

http://metro.co.uk/2014/02/04/dungeon-keeper-review-microtransaction-hell-4289901/

In Short: Dungeon Keeper is not a video game, not any more. Instead it’s just a virtual beggar, constantly demanding your spare change and offering nothing in return.

Pros: Older smartphones aren’t compatible.

Cons: A sickening perversion of the whole concept of video games, with nothing in the way of gameplay just constant cajoling for you to bribe your way to victory.

Score: 0/10 This0 is the kinda stuff that keeps people clicking EA for worst company in America.

I guess Olympic themed don't sell. That's the only reason I can think of that they don't seem to exist anymore.

When I was a child, some friends and I would spend hours playing Summer Games I & II and Winter Games on Commodore 64. Great games in their day. Then Track & Field was an incredibly popular arcade game that eventually made it's way to NES. And I had a Winter Olympics themed game for NES too that I really enjoyed.

It seems like modern controllers would allow for games that would be easy to play but difficult to master.

This is a bit different since there was the original Dungeon Keeper and Dungeon Keeper 2 on the PC. There is some nostalgia that comes with the anger. For us, it would be like NeoGeo rebooting Baseball Stars for mobile and forcing you to wait 24 hours after each inning or pay.

Outlast is getting DLC in April (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/02/26/outlast-reopens-its-gates-with-whistleblower-dlc-in-april/)

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2013/09/outlastrev3.jpg

Outlast receives its first DLC in April both on Windows PC and PS4, obliterating any hope that you'd escaped the Mount Massive Asylum for good. The first-person survival horror features reporter Miles Upshur investigating the creepy hospital, and the "Whistleblower" DLC details the events that led him to the asylum's foreboding gates.

Whistleblower stars Waylon Park, a software engineer working for the Murkoff Corporation, which owns and runs Mount Massive. After spending two weeks at the asylum, Park felt he had to email Upshur and other journalists to spill the beans on the secret horrors of the asylum - probably not the best idea from a self-preservation point-of-view, but there we are. Whistleblower doesn't just chronicle these events, though, with developer Red Barrels noting "it will actually stretch past the events of the first game to show the final chapter in Mount Massive Asylum's story."

The above image is from the main game rather than the DLC, but we'll let you decide for yourself if you want to see the gruesome screenshot Red Barrels published alongside this week's news. Really, who drinks soda just before dinner? Revolting.

Maybe I'm in the minority on this but I wanted to take a baseball bat to the two morons that spouted off this nonsense.

In a rarity, we agree. There is a reason that the Final Fantasy games are some of my favorite games of all time, because of the plot, as well as the characters. Also the reason I was so pissed off after completing the COD: Ghosts campaign. While I never really expect much from the COD campaigns in recent years, the Ghosts plot was just so fucking stupid, it felt like a total waste of time by the time I completed it. If they're going to keep making the campaigns and plots and storylines of said campaigns dumber and dumber and less intricate, then it may end up being just sports games that I buy in the future. Story is HUGE when it comes to what games I buy.

Amplitude (by Harmonix) reaches its goal on Kickstarter. (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/harmonix/amplitude/?sf3042447=1)

Why Kickstarter?

This project is intended to be a love letter to old-school PS2® fans, but we need to know that this is something you actually want. This is the project WE desperately want to make, but we can’t do it without your interest and support. Help us prove that there is a place for challenging, high-polished rhythm-action games in the modern age!

Given that Harmonix had to be rolling in dough with the success of Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Dance Central, I have a hard time understanding a Kickstarter project. IMO it is something more for smaller companies that need the funding/press.

It's because that game is VERY niche and, most likely, couldn't get the greenlight for it from a publisher to make it so they decided to self-publish it through kickstarter with enough backing from fans to show support for the game and the time it would take for them to make it.

It's understandable for a game like that. It's not understandable when it's a AAA FPS or 3rd person shooter. :fp:

I gotta say, the guy makes some good points. As much as I LOVE Titanfall, I don't think I could name a single character from the campaign off the top of my head. And while Watch Dogs is fun as hell, Aiden Pierce definitely doesn't fit into that memorable character role like someone like Link, Kratos or Master Chief or MANY of the old Final Fantasy characters. If anyone in Watch Dogs would be declared a memorable character, I'd have to put my vote on Jordi over anyone else.

Unfortunately these days, it's all about selling to the masses and selling as many copies as possible, so instead of a fully fleshed out story and fully developed characters, all of the attention goes to throwing as much as possible into the game and the multiplayer so it'll appeal to more people.

Him too. Back in the "good" old days of gaming, there were a ton of games with GREAT stories and very memorable characters that you grew attached to while playing. One big example for me, is Aeris in Final Fantasy VII. She was an extremely memorable character and learning her whole back story, only to have her killed by Sephiroth in that historic scene of the game, that is something that really would catch you while playing and it stuck with you.

Another one that instantly comes to mind is Lee and Clem. I don't know a single person who didn't cry at the end of season 1 of Telltale's Walking Dead game. I forget who it was who said it in another topic just the past day or two, but it was the same thing with me, I not only cried, I balled my fucking eyes out at the end of that game. I don't know of any other game in the last 5-10 years that could have possibly done that to me. The stories and the character development in games these days just plain sucks.

Vita had Madden 13 (http://www.gamestop.com/ps-vita/games/madden-nfl-13/98821)

As someone who has the Vita, my only advice would be to stay far away from it. 3rd party publishers are NOT going to develop for it because of it's horrific sales, and Sony's basically come out and said the same about their first party studios.

Fortunately for Sony, Yoshida explained, indies have picked up the slack: "It's very fortunate that the indie boom happened and they are providing lots of great content to Vita. I think [indies are] actually the biggest star to help provide great content to Vita going forward."

When asked if this means that Sony will be making fewer first-party Vita titles, Yoshida responded, "I would say, yes, that's correct."

Unless you're into indies, not point in ever buying a Vita, IMO.

The irony/hypocricy of the following is quite funny:

"Consumers love it as well, and it's good for the industry," Moore said. "You need powerful companies like Sony and Microsoft to be battling out with each other because it drives investment in their platforms. It drives competition. You want to see Nintendo come back with the Wii U. All in all, it becomes healthy for gamers, for the environment. When you have a runaway winner, that actually has a reverse effect."

http://www.ibtimes.com/ps4-vs-xbox-one-ea-weighs-which-console-will-dominate-holiday-season-1620350

Yet his company has [by design] ran out the competition in all but one of its sports titles by simply paying the most $ for exclusive licenses. Not surprisingly, EA gets its butt handed to it in the one category it doesn't have an exclusive license [NBA].

Of course, I'm sure Moore doesn't think competition is good in the sports game area just in consoles.

It's too bad though because I loved nhl2k8 and thought the game was excellent. Then they pulled the plug on Kush and moved it all to VC... the game was rebuilt and never recovered. The 2k/EA rivalry was great for gamers and it hugely forced EA to step up.

I never cared for NHL2K, but I didn't play it much either.

Axiom Verge is a retro-styled 2D "metroidvania" action-adventure coming to PS4 and PS Vita, inspired by such classics as Rygar, Contra, Bionic Commando, Blaster Master, and, of course, Metroid. But it also gives you power over glitches like those found in classic games, allowing you to scramble enemies, corrupt environments, and enter hidden areas.

Yeah I had the original Game Boy, a Game Boy Advance, a PSP, a Vita, and 3DS.

It's funny how no one here had one of those expensive 3DO's. Who thought that was a great idea selling that for $700?

The 3DO sold 2M units :o

I always wanted a Neo Geo

My best friend in grade school, his mom owned a Godfather's in Nebraska City, and there was a Neo Geo arcade machine with four games. I loved Art of Fighting and Samuari Showdown.

Is it bad that I had EVERYONE of those silly hand held games. Noone (in my dad's family) knew what to get me as a kid for christmas so they just bought me those things every year.

Got me searching for all my old games and I have to officially replace my #1 with a game I had forgotten. 1977 and I used to play this on every road trip we took, until the launcher finally gave out.

I'm sure some of y'all have seen this before but I haven't until 10 minutes ago. It took me 10 minutes to read because I was literally crying and holding my stomach from laughing so hard. I couldn't even breathe for a second. Shit, this letter to the Madden team is funny

Click me (http://southcarolina.247sports.com/Board/44/Contents/Ethan-Albrights-letter-to-John-Madden-strong-language-10792279)

I read it when it first came out and it still brings a smile to my face. Talking about the pass coverage ratings was classic. The irony is that he actually made it to the Pro Bowl that year as a long snapper.

The next time the Madden developers think they have it rough and get tired of the constant complaining from fans. Post this on the fridge at Tiburon and be glad you do not cater exclusively to females.

Replace Kim's name in those tweets with Ben Haumiller and replace "Photoshoot", "Party", "Date", etc. with NCAA Football game modes and you pretty much have the same shit I've read retards post over the years about the NCAA franchise.

Same piss and moan moronic entitlement that comes with fans of sports games, just with more estrogen.
