What y'all consider mom and pops video game stores ? I don't think I have any around me

names like "mikes video game palace" or "jays games"

 

[itshlittt]

haven't been on here in a while but is there any update on a potential shenmue release?

Yea. They usually sell games early.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Anything that's not a chain like GameStop is worth a call if you wanna try to get a game early.

Independent chains not Gamestop or Best Buy. However, they've become essentially worthless around me because their supplier won't give them games before street date.

I think it's stupid Y'all are arguing using studios who signed on a piece of a paper for exclusivity rights, rather than looking at first party developers.

First party devs should be the backbone of the consoles. It's one of the few instances in the industry that allows teams to learn, collaborate, support, and cultivate talent from each other since they're all under the same financial umbrella. Those dev teams are also the ones making the most income for their respected parent (console producing) companies.

Look at the track record of Ninteno's, Sony's, and Microsoft's first party developers and then resume your argument.

But I think it is stupid to ignore 3rd party games

And lets not act like they are not the first ones to get the axe when the books look bad. And if we go by recent history, Sony has done its fair share on destroying 1st party teams.

Yes 1st part is preferred but 3rd party exclusives have their place. I get the Titanfall deal is not viewed in the best light, but lots of 3rd parties have benefited greatly from MS's money..........And lets not foget Sony did a very similar move last generation, but their FPS bombed hard

There is always a flip side

Oh I totally understand since I'm on the flip side and I'm not taking sides in this debate. But there is a food chain.

I think a comparison between first party vs. first party and third party vs. third party is a more fair judgement. I also think (in the SP/MP focus debate) when you look at was has been developed previously and what is currently in development from first party studios you can get a sense of what the focus of each console makers was/is. Believe me when I say that the console makers will bend their studios to their will to push their next 5 year agenda.

What state you in?

What state you in?

I live in Brooklyn. Also, many of the independent stores that were Downtown closed up shop years ago.

Dawg, don't play with my heart.

You gotta come with some type of article or something....

Weird. I'm in queens and they even have signs outside sometimes saying they have the game. I do know that if u ask over the phone, they always say they don't. They get paranoid over the phone. You have to go in person.

He's just asking if there's any more hope/proof of it being in the works. There isn't.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Read my comment. He was saying those FRANCHISES focus on MP. You used their original games.

Keeping getting those cheques though. I wonder if Stephen Elop will dot the "i"s with hearts like JLG did.

Lets role back those franchises back 1 iteration. Most Halo and Gears games have 10+ campaigns. There mutliplayer portions are way more popular, but the team puts equal effort into the campaigns and it shows.

Judgment was a huge let down, I got no word to defend it. No really one seemed to care about it's fate. You got me there

Oh ok gotcha. We definitely on the same page

And to be honest I don't really like 3rd party deal like the Titanfall one. But I understand it from a business standpoint for all parties

-And like all arguments I have with dudes in there, there is almost no crime MS has committed that Sony isn't guilty of too. Sony had a extremely similar deal to Titanfall last generation

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

^Which game last gen?

 

[RustyShackleford]

^Which game last gen?

I give you a hint. FPS, was suppose to come to Xbox too, exclusivity deal on publisher level, tons of hype thrown behind it. Just like Titanfall is now

Only difference is that it bombed so hard Sony fans erases from their memories.

Rhymes with maze

Haze was the biggest disappointment for me last Gen. Wanted that game to be good so bad

 

[seandon23]

Oh man are you guys talking about Haze? game was absolutely horrendous

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

What was wrong with it?

 

[rell826]

What was wrong with it?

What wasn't wrong with it

. Game had everyone hype in the OG thread until the reviews and gameplay footage dropped.

I thought these arguments would have died down by now

What about the plans they had that forced them to do a 180. There was a few of them.

I mean, Square-Enix probably thinks it's a failure, but...

The Last of Us Passes 6 Million Sales
Pretty impressive stuff.
by Luke Karmali MARCH 14, 2014
The Last of Us has sold over six million copies worldwide, Naughty Dog has revealed.

The studio made the announcement regarding its post-apocalyptic epic in a blog post detailing plans for the talks team members are giving at GDC 2014.

The news come hot on the heels of the game's success at this year's BAFTA Game Awards, where The Last of Us picked up a massive five awards. We got a chance to speak to creative director Neil Druckmann at the event, where he revealed the upcoming movie will be an adaptation of the game, and also spoke about a sequel.

We previously heard rumours that a sequel to The Last of Us was already in development, though it seems nothing solid has been decided.

Last week, Troy Baker, the man responsible for bringing Joel to life in The Last of Us, revealed he'd be interested in reprising his role for the movie if asked, and urged fans to trust in Druckmann's vision. He's equally as interested in returning for a sequel, should Joel once again feature.




One of the best of all-time. I'd put it in my top 5 for sure.

Impressive. That's on Uncharted level and it's still selling well

 

[John Wick]

Dang I only have gamestop and something called guerrilla games

 

[RustyShackleford]

What was wrong with it?

Brah it is just bad in every aspect. Bad visuals, horrible script and voice acting, runs bad, unbalance, poor pacing, bad gunplay.

Before it was released, the hype reached ridiculous levels. "Halo killer", the "Starcraft of FPSes", "Like Crysis, but better", "Bioshock meets Halo" Pure foolishness.

Xbox 360 had it's turn later on that year with Too Human though, aka "Diablo is Space"

There's a shop near you called Gueriila Games ?

Oh, i see.




Destiny is the next hyped game coming out, right?

 

[Ricky D]

It wasn't independent but did you guys have Game Crazy, it was usually attached to Hollywood Video? I used to love that place, most used newer titles were at least $10-$15 cheaper. GS only takes off $5 then after tax you end up paying $60 anyway...smh
