10 Video Games That Were Horribly Broken At Launch
In addition to the game's we'll be playing, we'll also tell you what our most anticipated game for November is. Last month it was Batman: Arkham City , but which game will take the coveted title for November? That's not all! We've also compiled a list of all of games releasing in November, and what platforms they'll be
Last but not least, we get a breakdown of the company’s results by platform family, with PC leading the latest quarter (probably due to the launch of World of Warcraft 's expansion Legion ), but consoles leading the past nine mon
The biggest concern was probably the ADSing because you have a fair argument to say that the static image that you pop up is iconic. I think that there's something to be said about that. I think that what won out in the end was that the gameplay had not changed in any kind of significant way with any of the improvements and the new animations. So when we had done our user testing and play testing, and this is play testing across most of Activision so we had Treyarch, IW, Beenox, we had our whole crew. However many studious are in the business at this point. We had a lot of people in there and these are hardcore people. If it f*cking sucks they will tell you it sucks, and these are the people playing the game and giving us the feedback on it. Universally it was loved and appreciated so we knew after a couple play tests like that and run throughs we're not hearing the negativity that we feared, and it doesn't get more hardcore than hardcore COD makers. We're all playing this pretty regularly. So we felt really confident. That was one of those ones that we were a little worried about and given some of the social media stuff I'm not worried once they get it in their hands, I'm just hoping that they give it the chance that I think that it deserves. I think that they'll be happy with the results.
As for more current titles, I'm looking forward to Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and SSX . I've been in the market for a new 3DS title, and after checking out the Resident Evil: Revelations demo, I think that might be it. Though I'm more of a Metal Gear fan than a RE one, so I may end up getting Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D inst
On the non-Vita side of things I'm looking forward to experiencing Resident Evil: Revelations in earnest, after the great demo hooked me in. Aside from that I'm also looking forward to checking out the first DLC for Iron Brigade/Trenched , Rise of the Martian Bear, as well as Alan Wake's American Nightmare , both downloadable follow-ups to games I enj
On August 30, 2016, Blizzard launched World of Warcraft: _ **_Legion ** , which sold-through 3.3 million copies on day one, matching all-time records achieved by previous expansions, and ranking amongst the fastest-selling PC games ever. The new expansion grew franchise MAUs A by nearly 30% quarter-over-quar
Yes, SSX is hands-down my most anticipated game of February, but holy cow! There are a ton of games hitting this month. I'd like to spend some time with Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning , though I suspect I'll still be too busy with Final Fantasy XIII-2 to bother. Meanwhile, Rhythm Heaven Fever is just the kind of quirky distraction I love -- plus, at only $29.99, it's cheap! Post Uncharted 3, it would be fascinating to revisit Naughty Dog's earlier work in The Jak and Daxter HD Collection, even though I only ever really enjoyed the first of those ga
I don't think there was ever any hesitancy, but there was a realization that this is freaking terrifying. Because it's not just important to us, right? Being in the COD family it really means a lot, but dude I remember skipping school for this game. So it's one of those things that it means a whole lot to be playing that game and it means a whole lot be able to bring that to the fans and trying to figure out 'what's the most important thing to me as a gamer,' and 'what's going to resonate with the community,' because there's actually a really healthy community out there. Like 20,000 people still playing on Steam pretty regularly. It's crazy, but dude they love it. If you haven't played some of their mod severs they're friendly, it's fun to play, but they're really really engaged. The Steam forums will let you know that. It is a daunting task and it has been. I would probably say regularly it was like 'okay is going to make a fan pissed off?' I think we got out in front of that really early with that 'don't f*ck with the gameplay,' as our number one tenet, and that coincides with Raven's mantra of gameplay first. So our entire team already had that mentality of we're not going to mess with what the designers say is important. We were pushing for you keep the timing the same, you keep the feel, you keep the spacial design/the level design cannot not change, but we can add personality and we can add character to it.
So I'm going to show my colors here. I am PC MR for sure. That's where I got my start in gaming. There is no way in the world I would the PC version of the game ship if it was poor. It plays amazingly, I love it. When we do our play test I do play with a controller, but I get owned so bad. But it's so satisfying trying to play PC for our play test and come out with a two to three KD and I'm like 'there bches. Don't give me any more sht. I'm okay!' Cause I'm not a console FPS Game DLC guy I just can't move my thumbs and fingers and hands the other people can. I'm amazed that people can do it, but you get me on a mouse and keyboard I'm going to wreck some sht up. So yeah it's really good. It's great. The frame rate is fantastic. Now I also have a killer rig, so I'm not playing on the lowest common denominator for sure, but I am really enjoying it. So for someone who comes from that background I think that anyone who plays this on PC is going to be really happy.
