Discourse on Destiny 2 Hypotheses, Worth of EA Access, and Hunted: The Demon's Forge
Here's a revised and restructured version of the article with enrichment data incorporated naturally:
Beyond Destiny: Triumphs and Trials of The Taken King
After a week's deep dive into The Taken King expansion for Destiny, Goodlee can't help but be impressed. Despite its hefty price tag, several aspects mark an improvement over earlier expansions, offering a fresh perspective on the game.
Brighter Days Ahead for Destiny
The revamped levelling system, post-game quests, and new Crucible modes breathe new life into the game, rekindling excitement about Destiny's potential. However, the storyline still leaves much to be desired, with The Taken King underwhelming as an antagonist.
Despite these hang-ups, the renewed enthusiasm for Destiny is promising, setting the stage for a promising Destiny 2, expected to arrive next year. While some might complain about a quick release, the potential for another big step up like The Taken King has Goodlee on board (GC, we personally believe the sequel will also be premiering next year*).
Championing the Little Guy: Supporting PES 2016
Gonzo shares Goodlee's enthusiasm for PES 2016, citing its strong gameplay and the importance of supporting the underdog in gaming. Konami's continued push in the face of rumors and adversity highlights the value of every vote and the power of the gaming community in shaping the industry.
The domination of the football gaming market by FIFA and eFootball has left little room for third-party alternatives, but with titles like Metaverse Football League (MFL) gaining traction by focusing on community-driven gameplay, innovative tactics, and social features, there's a glimmer of hope for niche innovations*.
A Two-Horse Race: Football Game-Land
Alek Kazam reflects on the limited options in the football gaming scene, which seemingly consists only of FIFA and eFootball, with the likes of Super Mario Strikers and Monkey Soccer fading into obscurity. The high barriers to entry, including licensing costs, technical complexity, and entrenched player preferences, make it difficult for new contenders to emerge.
As football remains the world's most popular sport, one wonders why third parties have yet to capitalize on the opportunity. Perhaps we'll see innovative newcomers rise to meet the challenge and shake up the market*.
The Eye of the Past: Gaming Graphics Aging Gracefully
McClane'sVest raises an interesting question: Will today's games with their focus on realistic graphics look as dated as PlayStation 1 games in twenty years? Timeless art design can overcome the limitations of technology, while attempts at realistic visuals will always age along with their hardware.
Several classic games, such as Zelda: A Link to the Past and Super Mario World, continue to hold up due to strong art design*.
