The Second Part to my week series of Sega Games.
2guys_1title
I am presenting Sega games that meant a lot to me and how you can see them into today games.

Developers should explore the concept of loneliness more frequently in their games.

We shouldn't accept an inferior experience on our chosen platforms because the developer releases a game and doesn't fix it.

With the way THQ is being handle, will they find their Majesco Miracle? What game or strategy can save this company?

As kids go to school and learn many things, it doesn't hurt for them to learn logic. Professor Layton is a game that can teach (and some of us adults) about logic.

Why we connect to games and the importance of it.

Would you buy a international version of a console if it was release with the American Version?

Can Watchdogs be a unique experience or will it be more of a interpretation?

"I didn't even know it came on but I figured which games would win.  The same ones from last year and its sad that throughout the year, there have been games that have been great and fresh but those get push to the side to whats popular and what sells million.  I rather see something different and might have been poor/average win than something we can guess right thats gonna win.  "

"The main problem is that none of them can or will evoled.  Jump around stories, cliche twist, and the same team based AI Partners with the same see and shoot level design has set in a lot of gamers mind.  A lot of "younger gamers" who are allowed to play this is more with their other friends and they tend not to go and support other genre games.  Military Shooters don't provide a sense of a being a video game but something as a distraction.  Shooters cannot provide fun by seeing something that is placed in the game but only what is being shot at.

Developers don't know how to create a shooter anymore.  It has to be something that gamers get and that make them discuss a reason for it.  These "current" FPS fall on the same demographic of gamers and use the same tactics that really isn't nothing new.  We captured flags, defeated teams, fought zombies and waves of enemies, added rpg elements, and heard the same online verbal abuse or trash talk.  We have done this for years and fear none of that will change."

"i believe it would provide a good sense of retro and modern games in a respective and fun way.  We need a movie like this that gives us a sense of fun and adventure instead of expectations.  So i believe disney will succeed and we as gamers will be giving it a good buzz about the movie."

"I normally don't give up on a game.  I usually take my time and try to enjoy what i can.  Although there is some slowness to some games, that interest must be there.  I say attack those games."

"True.  Yet 360/PS3 achievements are statical achivements that some gamers try to cheat with.  With Club Nintendo, you are rewared with merchandise with the games you actually buy.  I think a physical reward is more appealing than a digital one.  i agree with you though.  Wii U on the other hand might surprise us so the anticipation til E3 for me is really high."

"what would happen in publishers started putting in their own trade in value of a game and went down from there? do you think people would still trade in titl"

"not really (it feels like that).  I will say I own about 150+ games.  If I stilll had my old systems, It would be around 3"

"i wonder what it will take for this industry to make games to sell in these days?  I understand software matters and i think we are at a point that no matter what party a game comes from, it is up to us has always been us to support and buy them.  Nintendo won't make the system fail.  It will be us consumers.  i understand this article (which is great by the way Rus) to see what nintendo might bring.  

If we are talking software sales, Nintendo kind of got the industry on lock (and maybe activision with skylanders) and that might be hard to take in.  Third party doesn't have a lasting effect when selling games until they drop where nintendo games, new or old, still are purchase at regualr price at retail stores.  Over a long of period of time compared what can be sold in a month or days.  After Modern Warfare 3 and even Mass Effect 3 came out and sold what they sold, people are still buying Nintendo games and even third party wii games that came out before those two.

Now, we ask ourselves this: Can the sales of a Wii U game have the same drop off like the other systems? With that, would that make it a failure?  Even if was a bit underpowered but somewhat had great HD graphics?  "

"I believe it to be successful and offer more than what we expect.  I think gamers now a days want Nintendo to continue that SNES legacy.  When we think off power over fun, we become focus on the small basic things.  Its already a problem for third parties to really make money on PS/XB with being brought out or closed down.  We cannot have sequels and FPS leading a system to success and I believe with Nintendo, they are going to surprise to us with what real creative minds can bring.  

I cannot judge until E3 and I personally will purchase one because I want to see what real creative minds can bring when graphics aren't all to be expected.  The developers have to bring their A game to Wii U.  If they look at Nintendo, some will try to incorporate what they do (sony and Micro does it).  

Let's give it to E3 and see what comes.  Rumors might be good but it doesn't lead to final judgement of a system."

"you are right.  I was trying to say that some of the fan fiction plot feels predictable. I'm still thinking on this piece and cleaning it up.  "

"that  ok.  I love any response from any reader.  We're all gamers with opinions and expressions.  I would love to hear your feedback on this.  I don't get upset and prefer to read and hear everybody's view on any of my work.  The More, the better."
