I don't really know. It's more about game releases for me to be honest. Furthermore, as a student, I see the year as August- May with a void in between. I do not see it as January- December.
It feels like they made the game first and then wrote a story around it. It's actually a fairly common occurrence in video games.

More or less. Although I'm not too sure about that. I'd say most major games have their story planed first, or at least those that have a decent focus on story. Granted, they're probably mostly all tenative until much further in.
[QUOTE="ImageChef"][QUOTE="Couth_"] I think there's quite a few people who love the show. It's such a great game a lot of people who don't even like baseball like it. But I agree with sports games when a new one comes out the previous is pretty irrelevant.Couth_
And I'm sure on that...but I feel like people are just jumping on these games for system wars "score". I honestly doubt the true interest in this game. It's great for people who like baseball games no doubt, but here it's more so just a score. And again, I don't see why the Show should count as multiple AAAs. If the Ps3 ended up with, just say, 7AAAes when all were the Show from the 7 years, does that really compare to 7 unique AAAs? I'm not saying if Killzone 3 comes out and scores AAA we shouldn't count that, but we should if it's just an update of the old games, having the same maps, campaign, etc. Same applies to a remake within a generation. If they were to remake say Ninja Gaiden 2 again in a style similar to Sigma 1 to the xbox, only upping the graphics among other tweaks- it is mainly the same game and should take the position of the old exclusive spot, not be counted as a seperate. Not that it really matters.That's the thing it doesn't matter. Cows only care because it's another AAAE and Lemmings only care because they don't want the cows to have the AAAE.. Play the games not the letters mate. Yep, I just feel it convolutes arguement....not that it isn't already here. Same applies to the Forza 2/3 scenario
[QUOTE="ImageChef"][QUOTE="brandontwb"]I think it's pretty cool actually. "Arrival into city. Wandering...wandering...wandering..blow of reactor...(hl2)...escape city 17 (episode one).... get to the lab (episode 2). Yes, I do simplify this a tad, but the story is really not much more deep" Sounds to me like you don't even know the basics. Gordon created a portal where interdimensional authoritative beings come out from and control earth. Being in a world where the combine are trying to get you and being defended by long time friends and people who know who you are. walkingdream
I know the story just fine....but do you care to tell me the relevance of Water Hazard, Ravenholm, etc.? Most levels i HL2 are just needless wandering with no real point that are just along the jouney. Same for Episode 1. The reason you went to Ravenholm is because your base is attacked and you have to escape.... Water Hazard is where you are trying to get to the base in the first place because the teleportation did not work And episode 1 you are trying to escape the city because you blew the reactor core and the combine are trying to send a message back to the main combine fleet for help.... You just confirmed what I said. You're never on a mission. You're always just wandering. Notice how in most games you'll have a story reason or objective for doing something. Escape from/recuperate is not acceptable as a driving objective.
[QUOTE="ImageChef"]Who actually is enjoying these.....I feel like these are mostly brownie points here. And the latest version completely invalidates the one before. As far as the AAA/etc. tally, I feel like this series completely nerfs the point. Equating a yearly game like this to Alan Wake, Halo, Final Fantasy, God of War, etc. is a shame. Couth_
