I’ve been playing video games for at least 35 years. I’ve played a bit of everything, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the classic stuff — The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Streets of Rage were always my thing. I loved gaming side by side with friends on the couch, but single-player was king most of the time.
I see online multiplayer games everywhere these days. I’ve tried a few, but honestly, I just can’t get into playing with random people whose only goal is to land a headshot on me and win the match — all at breakneck speed and total chaos. Not for me.
Give me a character I can care about, a story that pulls me in, and a world I can take my time exploring, soaking in every little detail. That’s gaming for me.
Online multiplayer games can have their place, sure — and they should. But long live the next The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, God of War, Uncharted… and many more to come.
I honestly don’t get this whole thing where a game has to be, like, 60 hours long to be worth it. People drop 15–20 bucks on a movie that’s under 2 hours and walk out hyped, like it was totally worth the cash. For me, if a $70 game (and this one’s not even that much) is solid and gives me over 10 hours, that’s already a win.
Am I the only one who thinks this game's protagonist looks exactly like Robert Pattinson? He's obviously the perfect choice for this, but I guess they'll probably cast Tati Gabrielle or someone like that...

@get2sammyb No local split-screen multiplayer, right?

I may be the only one, but I would loooove a new Jak and Daxter...
