personally i think Journey is a great choice for GOTY. The gaming industy is running out of creativity and i feel that there is very few games that we can call classics in years to come. for 2012 we had a new halo, a new COD, a new AC etc. while these are great games they will never be classic because they will continue make them. Journey is a game that shows something unique and in 2012, its a game that does stand out for me.
i admit the game has some rough edges in the campaigns but i did enjoy res6 as a whole. But the best thing about res6 is the mercenaries. it keeps me coming back to play and that just shows that the core gameplay is actually quite deep. its great fun to try a top the scores on the leaderboards. i admit i myself gave it a 7/10 after the campaigns, but with the mercs it gets a 9/10 for me
somehow i get the feeling the bad reviews that this game got were made by people who didnt invest much time to actually see the good points about res6. it certainly doesnt deserved to get slammed with a 4.5. thats totally unjustified.
you have a good point. FPS games can do no wrong it seems and if an RPG does a turn base system its criticized for being outdated. Of course I think turn base RPGs have a place and the only reason they are going obsolete is because game reviewers consistently bash them for being dated.
it seems that on current trend that all these blockbuster games are just sequels. like AC3, new cods, the upcoming gta5 and this Halo 4. This to me seems that game ratings now are just heavily influenced on marketing. So new games will have a hard time competing with these, even when something great comes along. i expect this game to be great but since its not a new franchise its a tad overated. way overated on ign.
potentially RE6 had a chance to be much bigger that it is now. it just feels like it was released too quickly. a few more months in development and it would of been fantastic. But now new game releases are strategically planned to maximise profit. they dont want to be released the same time as other "blockbusters" So called overated games like GOW etc.
Japan is developing less quality in the hd gaming market because any talent that they did have have long since seperated. Capcom saked Shinji Mikami after the GREAT res 4, The new ninja gaiden game no longer has Tomonobu Itagaki. And with the final fantasy games, anybody who worked on those ps1 classics have long since seperated. So will there be a remake of FF7? not likely. some questionalbe desicions that these game developers are doing. They want to favor new talent, but they are talentless and degrading the japanese gaming industry.
Bring back the people who knew how to make good games. At least now we still got platinum games for japan and dark souls. i hope they will find a way to make great games again.
thats a bit harsh, Res 6 was a good game,, the mercs is the best thing about it. i dont agree with 4.5. after finishing the game myself, 4.5 is quite slanderous. at least shoud be a rental. but i also dont agree with 39/40 that famitsu gave it. totally unjustified.
i said it was just a theory. i somehow touched a nerve with you in my comment? so enlighten me on how you are so knowledgeable about this? oh and i have been to japan twice.
