@soranroxas Exactly. That's just Another reason why the haters should stop slating this game before its even been released! But yeah I completely agree, it's certainly not a complete copy, it's just the style that's the same. The details in the middle (like how you score points, the various moves and power ups ect) are completely different and unique to this game :)
People who are saying this is just a straight copy of super smash bros, yes of course it's an identical style. But it's a ps3 exclusive and super smash bros is Nintendo exclusive so if you have only a play station three and not a wii, then you get this if you like this style, and if you have a wii then you get snag bros if you like this style of gaming. It would be a different story if this was on the wii butits not.
By the way I've just realised due to what someone else said, just how stupid this article is. If they were talking about the violence being unnecessary then it's obviously a fair point as it is clear that there is a lot of it in video games. But just to say that it makes it boring, why write a whole article on your opinion on a genre if just to says its boring to you. If you think the violence makes it seem over the top, then fair enough because it can come across that way, but as some else said, if it's boring: don't waste your time writing this article and instead use I to find a genre you don't find boring!
@ZOD777 I just realised when I was writing it, I actually did put paragraphs in. because someone liked my comment and the email notification I got showed it in paragraphs. I then copied and pasted that into a new comment, and then sent it. But once again it converted the paragraphs into one block of text! :/
@danzimfan Yeah I would love to be a game designer to try and tell a playable story! But I agree I think as long as the violence is necessary to telling the story and developing the characters, then I think it's Perfectly acceptable.
For me this is a very interesting argument, and I agree to an extent. However, these are the games I am planning to get from e3 1. Hitman 2. The last of us 3. dishonoured 4. Sleeping dogs 5. Tomb raider 6. Watch dogs And maybe sly cooper As you'll notice most of them are in fact violent video games. However, the games that I want to download from the Xbox live market place, are almost all platform games (I love platform games and I love rayman, crash bandicoot and little big planet) why do I like these violent games as well though, well because I don't play them because I just want violence, because of I wanted that I would simply go on grand theft auto and simply mess about and cause as much violence as possible. But I don't want to do that and never wish to in video games. I play various games from various genres, simply because of how I see video games. Video games to me allow me to simply leave the real world behind me for a couple of hours at a time, and go on various adventures and journeys. I personally thrive on creativity, and a virtual reality is a great example of creativity. And so when playing a video game I only ever look for new ways to show creativity through video games. If they happen to be violent in the process, then I'm fine with that because it's all part of going on a other journey or adventure and a thrill ride. Hitman to me isnt just violence for the wak eof it, as it's stealth, you can be brutal and not make a noise so it's toned down in a sense. after playing Batman Arkham asylum and Arkham city (possibly my favourite two games with non brutal stealth Becaus batman doesn't kill) I have really been into new ways of showing and playing stealh missions. Hitman just happens to be more brutal than batman. The last of us is all about survival, so I'm hopeful that they will only put you in sitioations where you have to do what you have to do just to survive, and not just for the sake of it. They may even give you the chance to choose a less brutal path. Then dishonoured and it's another assassin game. This I play not only for the stealth but also the powers and abilities.the developers have even said that you will have to sometimes be head on and brutal, but part of the stealth is being subtle obviously, so you have to be a lot less direct they also said that they wanted to try and make the game free enough so that it pleases all sorts of players, including the ones who don't want to be brutal, like me. Both Hitman and this are really creative gams in terms of creative ways to stealthily get a job done. I love how you have to think about your strategy and that's why I play it. I don't play it to kill and would be a lot more happy If you were just stunning the enemies rather than killing them. Also the last if us I will play to see all the creative survival strategies, not just to be brutal. I was actually a bit shocked when the main cheer was when Joel smashed the guys head of the table, Becaus that dies g e the impression that the gamers are only satisfied when they see an play the brutal parts. Then sleeping dogs. This I want to play because of the free flowing combat, like what get in the batman games. Because like with batman, your agility makes you feel powerful in the game, not necessarily brutal. Other than that the cars and bikes are a big hook for me because if the combination between fighting, shooting and driving. I love games with variety. Just to throw it in there, I'm not particularly keen on call of duty because it's not that creative, it's all just the same thing and to me it's not forgot much variety. It's violent too but if It was creative I might play it for that reason, not for it's violence. Then Tomb raider. This game to me again has brilliant variety In Gameplay. Shooting, puzzle solving, survival combat, and other things like climbing. Again it's that real feel of adventure that you do feel when playing these games, like with uncharted you do feel like your playing through an incredible journey, and especially with the movie like cut scene/in game action cuts. Finally is watch dogs and I'm excited for this because of its unique concept of controlling the world around you and manipulating things strategically so you get the best results. And people were a bit disappointed that it has guns in it, but if the strategical control of the world and technology around you overshadows the violence, then It will be the perfect game and effect balance between brains and brawn. Lastly as I said I might get sly cooper because I lie that style of game Because platform game worlds are a,ways so colourful and creative and so can be brilliant for someone like me who gets a buzz from creative games! So that's why I don't mind that these games are violent, because I think that other elements to me overshadow them because of the way I play games, and the reason I play them In the fist place.
@Nathalmighty1 It would be brilliant if you could choose if you accept the friend interaction. Because then if you have completed the game already and now want to go back with the extra challenge, then you can do that. But it would be annoying of you just want to finish the game and you can't because of a constant onslaught of attacks. Once you've finished the game once, then it's fun to try the added challenges. That's how I like to play it anyway :)
