It's more that it's one of those things that's biding its time.. Waiting for a failure in the other two for it to leap on then ruin the gaming industry the way Microsoft ruined the PC industry from 94 - 2005.

Consoles usually have games so you're right maybe it shouldn't be placed along side current consoles and should be looked at differently. It's basically a media top box for TV services that just happens to play a small selection of AAA multiplat third party games

Gen 7 in general kinda fucked everything up.

AAA devs, of course, want to push the hardware, so they need higher budgets for prettier games, and won't okay wackier or more experimental projects for those high budgets because their games "need" to be impressive.

AA and lower devs had three choices. #1, try to go for a big budget on the PS3 or 360, and ultimately fail to make a profit because their games would never move those numbers. #2, try to just make a game like they would on the PS2 on the PS3 or 360, and get laughed out by the general public for having shit graphics and ultimately fail to hit the numbers they need and go under. #3, go to the Wii, PSP, and DS and keep making games on a reasonable budget, which might work at the moment, but the massive levels of shovelware on those platforms made it hard for the general public to find their games, and when those systems died they found themselves left in the dust and unprepared for any of the HD platforms, with the only reasonable stepups of the Wii U and Vita being ill-fitted between the Wii U's audience only caring about first party Nintendo properties and the Vita's audience either being solely in Asia or just wanting anime or fanservice games, leaving them in the position of the two prior spots. Japanese devs also had the issue of their market outside of mobile rapidly shrinking in recent years, so if they tried to get by on even the 3DS, their games probably would fail to sell without relying heavily on old, nostalgia properties, or shallow pandering. And very few types of games work well on the mobile platform.

Just recently we've started getting to a point where a decent number of people are okay with lower budget games, but sadly most of the good devs who would provide such experiences back in the day have left the industry now.

Exact reason why I believe indie games will be the one that will save gaming. They are the only group that can still innovate and try new things without being forced by higher-ups to toe the line and make a game more mainstream.

AAA games/devs/companies can't really compete. If you have hundreds of people depending on one game to be profitable, you will try your safest way to make it profitable is mainstream taste.

truly the shareware-tier garbage is going to save the gaming alright

What's the desl with the guy? Is he an alien or a monster or what? Give us context.

why is this guy not the main character?
also his name is Fatherton

>>382981653
I really hope you haven't been doing sidequests without the ability to transport to every terminal you've saved at like I did. I don't know if any can be failed before that point, but i'd have rather taken the risk if i'd known.
Other than that, they're fine with a few ones with good endings that are really worth doing. Jesus christ the stamps.
Some sidequests really step-up with Route B.

>>382981653
Beat the game enough and you'll eventually get a chapter select feature.

>>382982808
I've just gotten the ability to fast travel. I've only done one or two sidequests that were out of my way up til this point, for the most part I just do them when I'm nearby already. Good to know the sidequests step up at some point though.

>>382982902
Not quite sure what that has to do with side quests

some shadows are darker than others!

>>382981448
Mario's shadow only exists so players can track where he will land in his jumps.

Any torrents up yet?

But it looks like shit graphically.

I hope the faggot arrogant dev has to eat his own shit after this fails.

>>382981036
Yeah, ZX was fun and it could use a proper ending. It won't get one, though. And I wouldn't buy a Switch for it.

>>382981036
I'll be the first to say it. ZX games were a lame follow up to the much more flavorful and funner Megaman Zero games.

Either bring back Aile or make a new girl as cute as Aile.

That's it.

Bethesda

LJN wasn't a developer. They only published games and go fuck yourself, Alien3 was awesome.

Developers or publishers like LJN just couldn't exist nowadays due to mostly honest reviews, gameplay videos, demos and so on. Everyone would just see through their shit and wouldn't buy the game, and nowadays two or three total flops means game over for the company.
So there's no today's equivalent to those horrible fucking scammers of the NES era in my opinion.

We need more people, the people in the room currently have no clue what video games are

No one was planning on it, even the people who live there are trying to get the fuck out.

That shit looks nasty and over the top, why do all mobile games use cards? It's so unappealing.

Couldn't agree more op. Mobile games are cancer

>>382980285
>Couldn't they just have features within the maps themselves instead of having new abilities?
Halo 3 tried this a bit, Higher Ground and Zanzibar had buttons that opened gates and shit. It never added too much to the game. Personally, I liked H3's equipment. It was one time use and spread across the map, so it still worked with the game's arena gameplay. Armor Abilities in Reach and forward can be acquired from loadouts, which is their main problem. Even armor lock would be fine if it was treated like a power weapon.

Oh the good old times.

Arena shooters don't really need much innovation since they're all about solid, straightfoward gameplay around solid maps. All 343 really has to do is sharpen the movement and shooting. The core mechanics are there, adding unnecessary tripe to "add complexity" just muddles the balance. H3 equipments didn't really do that and like >>382980741 said thats why they were fine, they were complementary without getting in the way of the nitty gritty.

I got into it hard for for a while but got bored after at least a hundred hours, probably a lot more, mainly because most the map is already giant blobs and there isnt much to do outside of internal affairs and the odd crusade. Ill get hate for this but i found europa universalis to be way better because theres just so much more to do. Still a great game though

If I bought all DLC and game right now without a sale or any discount, I'd be spending about 25 cents per hour I've played the game.

So yeah, I'd say it's worth it. But I'm a fucking Jew and pirated it.

>>382980223
It's a good game if you, especially if you love roleplaying to a degree. I have hundreds of hours in it. The dlc is pricy without a sale though.
