Basically Ubisoft's bragging about how much money Far Cry 3 and ACIV are landing them. I disagree, sometimes having a linear game with a "level" based design feels way more liberating to me. I loved the last two Beenox Spider-Man games because they're a great throwback to the two originals released on the PS1 back in the day. Sure, the open world Spidey games are awesome too, but it works either way.

Oh yeah, that's right, because developers today are allergic to decent level design. The sad thing is that even in open world development people are just using this as an excuse to drop loads of money to make huge game worlds and forget to actually put anything interesting in them, and then have the nerve to make progression entirely linear anyway.

Raining on your parade with a truckload of awkward awesomeness. Posts: 4,950 Group: Elite Member #70 Joined: November 11, 2009	So, to be perfectly blunt, Toshihiro Nagoshi, the top dog in regards to Yakuza, hates the Grand Theft Auto franchise. He thinks they are brilliantly made games. He just doesn't like them. Quote: So why does he hate it despite thinking it's an excellent game? It's all in what the game promotes. "I simply can't bring myself to promote the emotion that killing is fun and committing crimes is fun." Nagoshi said. You might think that it seems a little hypocritical coming from a man who heads a game series about Japanese gangers and has a combat system with large men beating the crap out of each other in the streets using their fists and random objects.

Couldn't it be because Yakuza has a real story line besides GTA's "FUCK SHIT UP"?

He also owns two Wii U consoles and regularly plays it with his daughters.

BL;DR Posts: 3,493 Group: Elite Member #80 Joined: September 7, 2010	Ninty consoles are practically successes by default - the WiiU is the first console they've ever sold at a loss, and even then they make their hardware losses back on a single game sold (and really, who in god's name buys a videogame console without even one game to go with it?). That's not even accounting for the parts becoming cheaper to manufacture over time, either.
