Far Cry 3: I loved it but also hated the crafting system. The crafting system was ridiculous. There was no need to muck the game with that crap. I would love to play it again, but I don't have the interest in spending my time with that crafting system.
Honorable mention: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier: You can use technology to be stealth as you can be before any major battles eventually break out
"Roger Moore can be a bit rubbish"
I grew up with Roger Moore being James Bond. He's still a classic to me.
He was a goofball.
He was testing out this spy camera Q gave him. He was using the spy camera to look at a woman's cleavage. Q says, "Behave yourself 007."
The young tween in "For Your Eyes Only" is lying in bed and throws her clothes to the floor and says, "My parents still think I'm a virgin." 007 responds, "You put your clothes on and I'll buy you an ice cream."
The only Bond movie I seen with Sean Connery was "Never Say Never Again" and I don't remember much about it. Sean Connery didn't strike me as anyone special in that movie.
The Rock: Sean Connery rocks in this movie. It only fitting that this movie is recommended. Sean Connery plays a former SAS member. The American (and other countries) Special Forces units are modeled after the British Special Forces.
Entrapment: Another good movie with Sean Connery. Stealthy heists pulled off my Sean and his lady partner.
The Score: A big stealthy heist pulled off by Edward Norton and Robert DeNiro.
But, length of game doesn't always mean it's better or more fun. Some games with hundreds of hours of content are riddled with fat, e.g., drudgery, tedium, sometimes headaches. That eight hour game might be much more fun and a better investment of your time. You don't just pay for a game with you money, you pay with your invested too. Similar to being more efficient to being less efficient.
@amdreallyfast Are the marketing costs factored into the development cost of the game or is the marketing budget a separate animal?
Movie studios put out a lot of movies. The lose money on some, make profits on others, and some are mega hits and everything balances out. I'm sure that might be the same with video games. You also have to factor in cancelled projects into the mix.
If I shoot a gun in the air in the city, but no one gets hurt, no harm no foul. Should get away with it. And keep getting away with it.
If I drive drunk and wreckless but no one gets hurt, should I get away with it? Does that make it okay? Should I keep being allowed to get away with it?
What's this person's character been like in the past? Gotta straighten the person out so he/she doesn't hurt anyone in the future and make him or her a better person.
Forgery: never good. Gotta set a precedent and make sure bad people don't keep doing bad things.
Nintendo
Being innovative with their business practices instead of their hardware. "The only certainty in life is death, taxes, and change," A theme park sounds cute. Maybe a partnership with Disney.
AAA titles
I empathize with the time and money developers have to put into making a game and their disdain for the buying of used games where don't get a return on investment. I wish them the best at being profitable so they can keep making quality games for everyone to enjoy.
Morrigan from Dragon Age
I put dark red hair on her character and had a great time playing her in DA: 2 as the mage. I think playing as the mage offers the most fun. I would dress up as Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars and take her out, but I would prefer Alice.
@omnyoto I wonder if the marketing cost are factored into the cost of the game or is it separate? If the marketing cost are separate from the cost of development, then the cost of the game is perhaps doubled.
It's just one game. Maybe it's better to cancel a game (it that's the case) than sell their customers a game that turns out to be an overhyped bomb. If they game gets cancelled, it just one game in a sea of many.
I'm Ubisoft has good reason for it. Maybe it's a marketing ploy to generate interest. Who knows?
1080p, 60fps
"It doesn't matter," says Microsoft.
What else are they going to say. It really probably doesn't matter. I'm sure you can enjoy a game anyway even it it's not 1080p and 60fps.
"It does matter. We've got the best console for developers," says Sony. I'm sure they're correct. Go with the PS4.
Everything is flipp-flopped from last gen: buy a PS4 for excusives and multiplats and buy an XBox One for exclusives only.
Own both consoles. Divide the wear and tear evenly between them. They will both last longer and you'll get the best of both worlds.
