If you've had a chance to look at the other thread. I've decided to do some "weekly questions" for on reason or another, and since it'll bring some discussion and activity back to CI. I decided I might as well do a vidya related one as well.
Since Fallout 4 has been announced and a few other games this year that I'm thinking of getting let's talk about upcoming vidya in general this year.

Any games you love that reviewers called terrible or bad?
By the same logic, any reviewers love games that you hate?
I've been playing a PS1 game recently that is sort of the granddad to 3D beat-em-ups and holy hell, the controls are pretty bad but I'm still going through it, and it's making me want to talk about old games, so lets go there.
Question 5 26/05/15 - 02/06/15
When I say "Old game" how far do you think back? 80's, 90's, early 00's, or just last gen in general?
Do you play a lot of old games, or have you just sort of played the essential ones here and there?
Do you think kids of today can appreciate old games for what they are, or will they just dismiss them as old, and crappy?
Any old games you'd recommend?
So, I finished Spec Ops: The Line last week, and with the release of Hatred and all the butthurt it's bringing, let's talk about morality in games.
Question 6 02/06/15 - 09/06/15
Do you care about the things you do in video games?
In a game where you can be good or bad, what do you usually choose?
Do you have any rules you follow in a game? (Such as no killing civilians, or a no kill route if possible)
Do you think we should not have morals in games, and people should just put whatever they want in games and that's that?
What are your predictions of E3?
I haven't been keeping up on anything but I'm gonna guess we're gonna be seeing a lot of new games, some steps out of the genre norm. I'm hoping to hear more on Tom Clancy Siege.
Do you find E3 to be boring a lot of the time, or interesting?
I never really like watching it myself, but I think it's a great way to learn more about the world of gaming, and some games that are announced there really get you on the hype train.
Do you watch it live or just the best parts of it in a video several days later?
Best parts of it of course. I don't wanna waste time sitting there haha.
Who's gonna win?
Hopefully PS, but there's always a chance Xbox will make a comeback or Nintendo will do something else that whips their fans into a frenzy.
No real predictions.
Can't say I've had much excitement over E3 since the start of the Seventh Console Gen, and with me liking a lot of Japanese titles that don't get mainstream attention, I actually consider Tokyo Game Show to be the gaming expo to look out for.
I just let the highlights filter through the grapevine to me, though I use to Enjoy Nintendo Power's coverage of the event back when I had a subscription.
Nintendo is the only real competitor among first parties since I'm a Microsoft anti-fan and Sony would be nothing without excellent third party support. Plus, I was a handheld gamer first and foremost before going blind, and Sony has all but given up on the PS Vita. Realistically, a third party dev will probably have the strongest showing, but either Sony or Microsoft will likely get the credit.
Depends, Nintendo may make a strong move this go around but I don't know if they will "win"... I Don't think sony has much to offer, they've been kinda dry recently, maybe they're storing it all up, who knows... I think Microsoft may be most likely to pound out some cash this year.. we all know halo 5 is coming as well as Fable: Legends. And since they seem pretty much done with the Kinect maybe they'll show us something strong.
I think MS would "win" so ling as there is nothing Kinect related.
I normally wait for my sister or the internet to explode with news, I don't have the patience to really sit down and watch it.
Anyway, Sony and Microsoft will find another way to rip off Nintendo and claim it as their own idea.
And Nintendo will continue to be a perfect cinnamon roll too good for this world.
Just like every year :3

Question 2 05/05/15 - 12/05/15
What's the most important aspect of a game for you? (Gameplay, Story, Music, Artstyle, Atmosphere, Graphics etc.)
Do you ever force your way through a game even if that important aspect isn't there or is not fleshed out?
What game do you feel had the perfect mix of aspects in a game?
What's the most important aspect of a game for you? (Gameplay, Story, Music, Artstyle, Atmosphere, Graphics etc.)
Depends on the genre I think. For horror games, atmosphere is the most important thing to me. Shooters I tend to like gameplay focused because I want to be able to replay it a lot in different ways. Platformers I really like good music and gameplay. Puzzle games I enjoy music and artstyle. RTS games I love story more than anything. I think they're all super important, but if I had to choose the most important... gameplay since it's applicable in so many different genres.
Do you ever force your way through a game even if that important aspect isn't there or is not fleshed out?
Sometimes if the game is good, but suffers a fatal flaw, I'll keep going. Most of the time though, I don't continue.
What game do you feel had the perfect mix of aspects in a game?
Y'know, call me a fanboy or whatever but probably TF2. Gameplay is solid, story is so in depth if you follow along online (as none of it is in the game, but you do get themed updates that give you an idea of what's going on), music is memorable and enjoyable, artstyle is perfect and cartoony and gives you that retro spy movie feel, atmosphere is kinda lacking, but you do get a good amount of ambiance sometimes, graphics are superb and can withstand the test of time for years and years. I just really like TF2.
I would say in order of importance for me its gameplay, story, atmosphere, graphics, music.
If theres bad gameplay, I can't get into a game, unless I'm watching someone else play it.
If theres a bad story, I won't play for long.
Everything else I can kind of work through if the first two are really good.
Sometimes you can learn your way through bad gameplay for a good story, and skip cutscenes for a game with good gameplay but a boring story.
I.E Oblivion. Not the best user interface, the graphics bordered on creeptastic, but MAN that story and the quests were too good. I've done every quest in that game at least twice.
If you ever need to talk, vent, or just want advice, you can always message me!
Gameplay is the real meat of a game. Everything else is like sauce: A good sauce might be able to hide the fact you're eating sorry meat(and a bad sauce can ruin good meat), but good meat needs no sauce.
What's the most important aspect of a game for you? (Gameplay, Story, Music, Artstyle, Atmosphere, Graphics etc.) Gameplay and Story are what drag me in, while music is a plus
Do you ever force your way through a game even if that important aspect isn't there or is not fleshed out? yeah, but if it becomes painfully bad/bland lacking it, I'll put it down and do a trade at my game store.
What game do you feel had the perfect mix of aspects in a game? EarthBound, while not 'graphically advanced', holds a spot in my gaming heart-thanks to how it grabbed me with its story, gameplay, and music. American McGee's Alice also comes to mind with the dark story and atmosphere, the steampunk art direction, and the ambient music. Gameplay, while entertaining at first, does wear down and the puzzles become tiresome.
SonicBoom wrote:I guess the secret's out. I live in a flying metal lemon.
What's the most important aspect of a game for you? (Gameplay, Story, Music, Artstyle, Atmosphere, Graphics etc.)
I'd say the story and art style. Music is a great plus, too. If I'm playing a game where I'm in a forest, it would be really unfitting to have funky raps or any of the sort in a similar, unfitting location. I also need a sense of direction because I end up getting really sidetracked if there is no clear objective. So yeah that's important too. Also, the game needs to not be repetitive, and needs to be refreshing and always bring something new to the table.
Do you ever force your way through a game even if that important aspect isn't there or is not fleshed out?
Nope. That's why I ditched Okami. I don't know where to freaking go. I saved several areas but I was told to return to the village, and nothing is going on, no matter what I do.
I think I also ditched finishing Mario Galaxy because the experience just got a tad repetitive for me.
I believe the only reason I dragged myself through Skyward Sword was because it was a Zelda game. I ended up hating it. A lot of people say that the story is excellent. I say it's flawed. Many say the gameplay is great. I say it's awkward. Many say the music is gorgeous. That... I can agree with to a degree. Some tracks are great but when you're scratching your head, trying to figure out a secret, it gets really aggrivating when the track loops and gets on your nerves.
What game do you feel had the perfect mix of aspects in a game?
I haven't even really played it yet or gotten too far buttttttt
Xenoblade Chronicles for me. Gameplay seems to be really polished and has the player think rather than mashing buttons. Story so far is excellent and draws the player in. Music is the bomb. The art style really fits in with the setting. The atmosphere is constantly changing, from the tension in Tephra Cave to the thirst for adventure in Gaur Plains. It's extraordinary and really fits with the mood. The voice actors did a polished job in creating emotion. At times when tension is high, the characters never drop this mood, and the voice acting is really convincing. The graphics, even to this day, are pretty great. Honestly its the perfect blend for me.
What's the most important aspect of a game for you? (Gameplay, Story, Music, Artstyle, Atmosphere, Graphics etc.)
Gameplay takes high priority on any game whatsoever, with story in close second. If I cannot play the game comfortably or the controls simply don't work, I'm not going to be playing very long. Even if the story is the stuff worthy of awards, i'm not going to play it, i'll just watch it on youtube, i'm not wasting money o something that doesn't play right. Story will not sell me on a game, but is a great and fantastic bonus to have. The New(Not so much anymore) Super Mario Bros games do good for a reason. After those two, it's Music, Graphics/Art style, Atmosphere, and everything else.
Do you ever force your way through a game even if that important aspect isn't there or is not fleshed out?
Chances are I will not. If it doesn't control good but has a good story, again,I'll just watch it on youtube.
What game do you feel had the perfect mix of aspects in a game?
Siding with Yukki, I'd say Xenoblade Chronicles. Good and unique gameplay, touching and interesting story, stellar music, atmosphere that hits the nail on the head and everything else all come together for just an almost perfect game I haven't watched it either, can't find it near me locally( though it did pop up recently not too far off) but i can say without doubt that my opinion wouldn't change.

Current favourite console of this gen?
Nintendo: Usually stellar first party games, Had decent hardware on consoles until they decided to focus of gimmicks instead of a strong traditional core, handhelds are underpowered but tend to make up for it in sheer library. Were royal fools for letting Microsoft buy Rare.
Sony: Has the best third party exclusives and gets the bulk of the JRPGs and has easily the best mainstream handheld consoles in term of hardware. Can't say I agree with their DRM policies or how they've crippled the PS Vita's potential by requiring proprietary memory cards and requiring special software to load media from PC or how playback of third party media files requires encoding speciafically for Sony devices.
Microsoft: Very few exclusives have caught my attention over the years. Hate how they've crippled Rare. Ditched their operating system nearly a decade ago.
Apple(because seriously, there the closest to a proper 4th in the Gaming industry): Hate how their influence has lead to the vast majority of mobile devices being nothing but touchscreens with no physical buttons. Hate the Wall Garden environment they try to build and maintain and the artificial barriers they put between devs and mainstram release on their hardware(Granted the Big 3 are guilty of much the same, but mobile gaming has different expectations from consoles that make the real barriers to entry less on mobile compared to consoles)
As for another first party entering the fray: Honestly, I'm surprised we've managed to keep a Big 3 in equilibrium for so long. Truth be told, If Nintendo didn't have such deep pockets from past success and Sony and Microsoft lacked their more diverse portfolios, I'm sure at least one out of the Nintendo, Playstation, and Xbox brands would have collapsed by now, and I've read that both the Playstation and Xbox lines have gone through periods that would have been financial disasters without the rest of Sony and Microsoft to hold things together. Apple is doing strong in mobile gaming, but I don't see their policies producing a console that console gamers could live with. Valve has essentially taken over the commercial side of PC Gaming thanks to steam(and not just on Windows PCs from what I hear), but I don't really see the steamboxes ever being more than "just the style of PC tower gamers buy". Google has the most widely used mobile OS, but I don't really feel like they count as a gaming company with how just about anyone can get their game published on Android and have even less attachment to the hardware their system runs on than Valve does with the steambox.
Your opinion of Nintendo? (On a whole, their games, their policies, their consoles, their past, their future. Flesh it out)
I think Nintendo is a good company but, aside from Splatoon, they mostly stick to their regular Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, etc and cater to the fans a little too heavily. I wanna see some new steps from them to create new characters and concepts, much like what Splatoon is hinting towards. Most of their consoles have been neat ideas and concepts, but it took them until the Wii U to get on par with some of the other consoles out there, and even then the tablet is best as a way to play Wii U games on a screen that reminds me of the graphics on the Wii. They're not gonna end anytime soon though, and I don't mind.
Your opinion of Sony? (On a whole, their games, their policies, their consoles, their past, their future. Flesh it out)
I really like Sony, even if they get hacked a ton. Their consoles are sleek, their games are great, and overall most of the time I have tons of fun when playing their games. While the PS GO (i think it was called) was rubbish, I really liked the Vita and found it to be more enjoyable than the 3DS. In the console wars, I think Nintendo and Sony are way up there and have some great stuff going on. What I like about Sony also is how they've been expanding the PS4 as more than a console or netflix machine, but also a music library, rental service (though I think those prices a month are INSANE, even with all the free rentals), and I believe a steaming TV service with their new PS Vue (correct me if I'm wrong). I see them taking risks a ton and I respect that, even when they make mistakes.
Your opinion of Microsoft? (On a whole, their games, their policies, their consoles, their past, their future. Flesh it out)
I love Microsoft for Halo and Dead Rising... and that's about it. I really miss playing Halo, but the upgrade to Playstation consoles was well worth it. They seem to be really falling back in my eyes, definitely not into extinction, but not as a very likely competitor against Sony and Nintendo. That's just me though, I'm sure sales say otherwise. I haven't been able to get my hands on an Xbone and try it out, but I've heard it's "eh". In the past they were gaming giants and set the bar for many standards but eh...
Would the industry be better with an introduction of a new competitor?
I think if the new competitor brought something the others didn't we'd definitely see a stir in activity to make more innovations. The new Steam console comes to mind, and I think it's possible that they could contend with all of them since they offer so much in terms of game possibilities and whatnot. I haven't read much about it as of late, but from what I've heard I think it shows promise of something new. Don't know if it'll take over or anything, but who knows.
Would the industry be better with an exit by one of the above?
I don't think so. Having two gaming companies square off against one another sounds like maybe it'd be better since they'd be more focused on one another, but that's also the problem. With only two companies fighting against each other, it'd only be a matter of time until one outdid the other and tossed them out of business. We saw this with Sega and Nintendo, excluding all the Atari stuff. With three companies, there's a balance that's kept. The revenue is distributed in a way that stops them from becoming too powerful, and companies are competing hard enough that no one company completely overshadows the others. I think it works out well the way it is.
Current favourite console of this gen?
PS4 by far, hands down, enough said.
I can't claim to be too knowledgeable so I won't be surprised if I end up being wrong in a couple of places, but I'll try.
- Your opinion of Nintendo?
Nintendo is probably the best of the three for delivering an almost guaranteed complete, fun experience with their games. They put a lot of effort in and end up doing a good job almost all the time, though as of late they have been neglecting a few of their other IPs in order to keep ones like Mario rolling out to keep up with their finances. This, while not a bad thing if you're a Mario fan, can be potentially crippling for a company. Just look at SEGA, who are known for their IP Sonic, and... well, not a lot else comes to mind when you think of them, judging by a lot of his games, it's a miracle Sonic's been surviving as long as he has.
- Your opinion of Sony?
Can't say I know that much regarding Sony, but from what I do know they're pretty good and have been doing fantastically this gen. They're the go-to console for a lot of things, as the only thing that the Wii U has going for it right now is for the most part its first-party games, whereas the PS4 is home to a huge chunk of third-party games with a few first-party games here and there. It's not much of a surprise, honestly - since the PS4 has a similar layout to the Xbox, developing for the PS4 and Xbox is a cheaper and better alternative to going for the Wii U, which has a completely different control scheme compared to the simplistic buttons and analog stick of the Dualshock 4 and whatever Xbox's controller is called, and thus it's cheaper and gets the product out to more people to go for PS4 and Xbox.
...If that made any sense. - Your opinion of Microsoft?
I can't say I knew much regarding Microsoft even going in, having been a Nintendo fan all my life, but if I had to say anything about them in this gen, it'd be that they ruined everything with the Xbox One presentation. In being so anti-consumer with their product that it was obvious to everyone except the most dedicated of Microsoft fans what they were trying to pull, they blew their own feet off with a cannon and broke the trust they had, and as a result have all but faded into irrelevancy this gen as they drag the remaining torso they have behind Nintendo and Sony, backpedaling hard but it not really being enough. I've always wanted to try Halo, but with the way they presented that, I'm reluctant to even bother at this point.
- Would the industry be better with an introduction of a new competitor?
Eh... I don't think better is the right term to use here. It'd be more competitive, and as has been mentioned in the thread it'd push for actual innovation between the companies. What would come afterwards isn't something I really can say I have any idea of, honestly. =~=
- Would the industry be better with an exit by one of the above?
Probably not. Depending on which company were to go, it'd probably push the scales so hard that a potential monopoly similar to Steam's all-but-monopoly on PC games would be at the very least conceivable. If Microsoft were to go, the chances are Sony and Nintendo would stand for a while, and who would remain would entirely depend on business strategies. Nintendo is going to have a really big problem in the future if they don't start to go for new/neglected IPs alongside their old ones - the people that grew up on Nintendo are going to be getting older, and as a result further and fewer between, which will be a huge hit for Nintendo if they stick to their current most popular IPs and try to play it safe. There's only so far you can take IPs before they start to get stale, after all. For example, they could make some real money reviving F-Zero and letting Mario rest a bit. I actually have faith in Nintendo to revive and create IPs, however, because they do like to do it. Kid Icarus, for one.
Sony would probably be fine, provided they don't go full Xbox One. They introduced paid online with the PS4, and this is good for them from a business standpoint, but the more they go the anti-consumer route the worse off they'll be. I think they realise this (especially after the Xbox One's launch), however, so I don't see them taking a risk like that.
If Sony or Nintendo were to go right now, the one remaining would likely dominate Microsoft. With the state MS is in, it's likely going to have to wait until next gen to be given a proper chance to catch-up.
- Current favourite console of this gen?
I haven't gotten any of the new consoles, but the one I'm going for is the PS4. The exclusives (and a few multiplats) are what have me hooked. A Wii U isn't going to be anywhere on my priorities list until they unveil a new Metroid for it, so as long as they drag their feet with that I'm sticking to waiting until I get a PS4. Disgaea, whatever the BlazBlue: Chronophantasma sequel is, Persona 5 (when I get into Persona, which I'm going to), Tales of Zestiria, Kingdom Hearts III... there are more reasons for me to get a PS4 than anything else.
I did what I could with what little I know. If I'm wrong, then feel free to point it out, not too bothered.
Actually, I'd say Sega's fall from Grace had more to do with Sony crowding them out then Nintendo finally beating them. That is, if you ignore how Sega shot themselves in the foot with the 32X and Saturn(the former being an overpriced Add-on that no one really wanted and the latter being a 2-D powerhouse at a time when the competition was making the jump to 3-D). I'm not convinced the Saturn could've competed as fiercely with the N64 as the Genesis had with SNES even if SoA hadn't screwed-up the Saturn's NA marketing, but the PS1 was a force to be reckoned with(I wouldn't be surprised if some people at Nintendo are still kicking themselves for letting the Sony version of the SNES CD project fall through).
Sega couldn't really do much once Sony stole the original ideas for the Saturn and then it into the Playstation. I feel SoJ were the main reason behind the failures inside Sega though, since SoA actually wanted to agree with the Sony-Sega joint console back when the Nintendo-Sony joint console fell through, but SoJ said no, and since the original plans for the Playstation were already set in motion, Sony just took them and put them towards the Playstation. Sega wanted to one up Sony and thought "We'll use the original plans, and just add another CPU." and then release it months before the Playstation. Both were stupid ideas that really destroyed Sega in that department.
They could've recovered from the 32X as well if SoA and SoJ got along and agreed on a lot of things, instead of hating one another. Many RPG's were made for the Saturn that didn't have any English ports and since the 5th gen was all about RPG's on the PS1 having some Sega RPG's for the Saturn would've been good for them.
It's a shame since Sega left the market, consoles, and in general video games just haven't been the same. 7th gen wasn't that great and 8th gen has nothing noteworthy even though we've been in it for about 2 years now.
Sega are still a stupid company though, Sammy care more for Pachinko, and think video games are a waste and Sega is being run by idiots who seem to employ more idiots and don't understand basic things that gamers want. I mean, people loved Generations and Colours and Sega must know this from the feedback, and they gave us Sonic Boom and Lost Worlds and think that's fine.
On another note as well, Sonic Lost Worlds, Sonic Boom, and that other one in between that I can't remember were all part of a deal made with Nintendo for three games. Now that the contract is up, I'm more than ready to see a comeback of some sort that could put Sonic back in the green (hill) zone.
I honestly think Nintendo might be trying to get rid of Sonic to sell more Mario games but that's just me.
@Retro: I never knew Sony approached Sega after things fell through with Nintendo. I do remember reading about Sega working on separate cart and CD based consoles(projects Jupiter and Saturn respectively) before canceling Jupiter to focus on the Saturn. I hear SoA's president during the Saturn era was a real asshole who shutdown a ridiculous number of localizations, which seriously hurt the Saturn stateside. Speaking of East and West not getting along, Yuji Naka's refusal to let the Sonic Xtreme devs use the Nights engine probably didn't help the Saturn either(granted, being allowed to use the Nights Engine wouldn't have gauranteed Xtreme getting a release and a proper Sonic game on the Saturn might not have saved the Saturn, but the lack of main series Sonic on the Saturn didn't help the concsole avoid a distant third in 5th Gen console sells). By all indications, Sega's console division had learned their lessons by the time the Dreamcast came out, but by then, the damage had been done. Of course, last I heard, Sega was still a contender in the Arcade Hardware market, though Arcades are only realy profitable in Japan.
Your opinion of Nintendo?
I generally really like Nintendo. I like them because of how simple they are as a company, and how humble they seem despite being huge. This might be due to how they l view video games as actual games, as opposed to art pieces or as interactive summer blockbusters. That viewpoint when developing their games produces some of the most fun and entertaining games out today, like Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon. Some of their business decisions leave much to be desired though, since they can't seem to cater to any audience other than the one they've had for years already.
Your opinion of Sony?
I'm pretty mixed on Sony. Some of their 1st and 2nd party studios are absolutely fantastic, such as Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch. I also love the fact that their consoles have the most weeaboo(ey?) games on them, which is the entire reason I own a Vita. However the PS4 has done little to impress me, with literally one exclusive I'm interested in available for it, Bloodeborne. So Sony really need to step up their game before I buy a PS4. I'm just asking for Jak 4 please!
Your opinion of Microsoft?
I have only owned an original Xbox which I played Morrowind and Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure on. It was pretty good.
Would the industry be better with an introduction of a new competitor?
Depends who and if they could bring anything different to the table. If they tried to copy Sony of Microsoft because their modal seems the most profitable they'll get stomped on the companies they're copying. However if they could do something incredibly different that somehow sold well enough to force the other companies to change so they could compete, then totally.
Would the industry be better with an exit by one of the above?
Less competetion between companies is nearly always bad for the consumer and is not capitalistic, so no.
Current favourite console of this gen?
Wii U all the way baby!
Your opinion of Nintendo? (On a whole, their games, their policies, their consoles, their past, their future. Flesh it out)
Yes, good games, good prices, free stuff, good company.
Your opinion of Sony? (On a whole, their games, their policies, their consoles, their past, their future. Flesh it out)
Yeah alright, PS1 and PS2 were potentially the best consoles of their generations, PS3 was too (but I still think the Wii had the best games of that generation).
Your opinion of Microsoft? (On a whole, their games, their policies, their consoles, their past, their future. Flesh it out
Keep trying, it's like Playstation with a lesser experience. Stop focusing on gimmicks.
Would the industry be better with an introduction of a new competitor?
No
