@frank_78 People have been washing up on that island for centuries, and a lot of the people on the island have probably been there since they were in their 20s or so, given that all have beards. xD
@sinatra666 Have you played one second of BioShock: Infinite? I've played both the new Tomb Raider and BioShock: Infinite. They're entirely different games, but they're superior in different categories to each other. There's a reason people praise BioShock: Infinite, and for the most part, I agree that it is a contestant for GOTY. Then again, so is Tomb Raider. But at least play BioShock: Infinite before you call it, "pretty overrated."
I played this game when I was a kid - it was bundled with the Sega Genesis - and I have no idea why, but I loved it. The simplicity of controlling a dolphin through the sea was just awesome to me back then.
But hate to say it, Ecco ain't gonna make it in today's gaming market.
Why are people railing on Square Enix for having high expectations? Isn't it a GOOD thing that they want their games (obviously Crystal D developed this particular game) to sell well? Tomb Raider sold well, regardless of what Square Enix says, but I also think it's good to have high expectations in order to deliver higher-quality games. For specific genres, I mean.
Don't even get me started on COD. Quality went out the window back in 2007 with that series. -_-
@McGregor @Bayonetta2013 I'm talking about many gamers raving over PS4's graphics, graphics in Destiny, graphics on the X720, graphics this-that... When I say good quality games, I want to hear how it will stand out from the crowd, bar graphics. Graphics are a factor to some degree, but you can have a game with great, shiny graphics yet have absolutely crap gameplay. Solid, tight mechanics will sell a game for me.
Screenshots are often a lot more than just a visual, or so I think. I'm usually inspecting minute details in screenshots like a person, sign, yada yada (depends on the game, really), and not the graphics considering it's usually not the final product anyway.
