Attack of the remastered games?

Have you noticed the amount of games that are being remastered? So at first I thought it was only just a few, Saints Row IV and Resident Evil. But now you also get Red Dead Redemption, Bioshock trilogy and Skyrim. There is even talk about getting a remastered version of the Mass Effect trilogy and it doesn't even surprise if that actually happens. But are gamers actually happy with these games or do they prefer to have new games?


Stop making remastered games?


In a way it feels lame, buying the same game twice but then for your new console and often also paying the full price for both of them. Sometimes you get something extra, for example dlc is included with the game or they put some extra levels or secret stuff in the remastered version. But often it's just an upgraded version of the original, which means some better graphics and it probably runs a bit smoother on your console or pc. But are you really happy with all these remastered games? I think that's the real question that you should ask yourself. For me it's simple, I don't mind remastered games and if I'm interested in getting it then I buy it otherwise I just ignore them. The thing is that nobody forces you to buy them and if you hate that you have to pay twice for the same game then don't do it! You don't need to buy the remastered version of the game you already have.


Does it ever stop?


I don't think so and why would developers stop? If they can earn extra money with it then they would be crazy to stop. The only reason why developers would stop with remastered games is when nobody would buy them, but as long as people buy these games then developers will go on with what they're doing. I personally don't understand the hatred some gamers have for remastered games, because nobody forces you to buy them and expecting them to be free is a bit silly in my opinion. Besides if it's a game I really like to play and I really want to play it again then I don't mind paying for that. I guess that makes me an idiot to some people but in truth I think this is just the way it is. If you don't like it then don't buy it. I must admit that I'm looking forward to the Skyrim remastered version, diving back into the world of Skyrim and going on quests is something I'm really looking forward to. If that means I have to pay for the game again then so be it. Since it will take me a lot of hours to do all the things I want to do in the game I'd say it's worth it!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...

Mortal Kombat X isn´t just another fighting game?

You´ve probably seen the announce trailer of Mortal Kombat X, then you probably also know that it shows two familiar characters fighting against eachother. At that point you´re probably still thinking that it´s just more of the same but with a better coat of paint, I understand that pessimist look and it´s not often wrong. But from what I´ve heard about Mortal Kombat X is that it´s going to be more than just a new game in the Mortal Kombat game series. What´s new? Apparently there will be more fighting styles for one character, giving everyone his or her own favourite style to use against opponents. There was something familiar in another Mortal Kombat game where they also had weapons in a fighting style, but this seems to go a bit deeper and more unique. Of course these are just words at this point, nothing has been proven just yet! But this would make it more fun to play against other people and see who masters the ultimate style, but I´m certain that there is a counter style f...
