Video games of the 90s were torture Driven by a wider audience thanks to an ever more diverse offering and the possibility of playing anywhere and anytime with smartphones, new forms of players have emerged over the years. “Hardcore gamers” and “casual gamers” therefore coexist in our era where we can clearly state that there are games for everyone. But not so long ago, the average difficulty of games was much higher, for several reasons that we will see together. The lifespan of games What we call in the industry “the lifespan” of a game is the time it takes to see the end of it. If today most of the big games that we call “triple A” and which correspond to cinema blockbusters (to simplify) offer a fairly substantial lifespan (open world games), this has not always been Standard. Already for an obvious reason of available space on cartridges and CDs: the games were much shorter (apart from a few larger RPGs like Final Fantasy and their 4 CDs). But if the adventure was shorter...

The Best Female Video Game Characters Recently I asked you to be a nice person and vote for the video game girl who you like the most physically in terms of face. The battle is right there. Here are the results, and frankly I'm shocked but happy. Triss Merigold (The Witcher 3) Yesss, the most beautiful, my favorite in the world and on Earth. In The Wither 3 I sacrificed so much of my relationship with Yennefer to devote myself to Triss. Best choice of my life. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) Lara, always this aura that makes her the most badass female character in all video games, even more so with the last two opuses. Yennefer (The Witcher 3) Certainly she is very beautiful, but the real people know that she has a shit character. I never go on a camping vacation with her. Nova Terra (Starcraft) She so deserves her own game (and kisses). Christie Monteiro (Tekken 4) Yes, she's the girl who uses capoeira like Eddy. But in fact she replaces Eddy. Personally I prefer t...

The troubles of old gamers that young people cannot know Today, everything goes faster when you have a game console. Everything goes faster because we live in the future. That wasn't always the case. Damage your retinas because of controller wires that are too short And get rotten because you were playing too close to the TV: “You're going to damage your eyes by staying glued to your screen!” ".Gna gna gna… But it wasn't our fault if the controller wires measured less than 20 cm. All this, to force us to buy extension cords which ended up in a bag of knots in our drawers. Having to juggle between the SCART socket on the console and that of the VCR Those were the days when you had to sneak behind the set to connect the SCART of the console instead of that of the VCR, or the Canal+ decoder. With 2 times out of 3, there is the risk of forgetting to put them back in place and seeing the whole family fall on your back. And then we wonder why old people think that vide...

The classic phrases heard after one defeat (too many) on Fifa or Efootball Scenario: a friend provokes you into FIFA on your console, convinced that he will make you miserable. You take up the challenge, and against all odds you snatch a superb victory in the last minutes. You think you've done what's necessary to nail his little boastful mouth, but on the contrary you were only at the beginning. It is now time for wooden excuses, for the purest bad faith. 15 example sentences of (very) bad losers. And that we could also say, in 15 minutes, after the revenge. "You had all the cons, there was nothing to do, I'm cursed" Fifa's rather finicky game engine can lead to bad faith. To lose is to enter a sort of vicious circle of looseness which condemns the loser to thinking that all the unfavorable consequences suffered are part of a larger diabolical plan, of a “disgusting” curse falling on him which goes far beyond the scope of the console. We cannot fight ...

Video games were better before, a great option for nostalgic gamers. A kid born in 2015 has every chance of having grandparents who knew video games. We might as well tell you that this “youth” culture has now completely become part of our customs. No, video games are no longer new, and sometimes we wish they were. Because if we have fun acting like old fools, it was still better before. For those who do not agree and are more #teamPS4, they will find what they are looking for on the We Are PlayStation website, the ideal platform: tests, forums, reviews... it's all there! Before, we knew how to marvel at graphic innovations. Today, we play games that look like interactive films, and everyone seems to find that normal. At one time, we were amazed by “isometric 3D”. And if you had to play diagonally all the time, it was still worth it. 2 Before, finishing a game had to be earned Today, we talk about it in "hours of play", as if we were reading the duration of a fil...

Anime Characters With the Exact Same Powers Pikachu and Zatch Bell - Electrical Demons While people fight over whether ice or fire abilities are best, those with electrical-based techniques get to sit at the side knowing what's really up. Electrical based attacks are some of anime's most destructive, flashy, and versatile; and in this entry, they only get better with small, cute hosts. Pikachu is the small, electrical mouse from Pokémon whose most famous move is "Thunderbolt" among its variety of other shocking attacks. In the anime version of TheHunger Games, Zatch Bell is a mamodo whose spellbook also allows him to summon a variety of thunder and lightning-based attacks.

Koyomi Araragi and Undead Ban - Immortal Best Boys Tragic circumstance within magical worlds in anime sometimes has the added potential of gifting the kindest people with great immortality, whether they want it or...

The lookalike anime characters “Kazuma” and “Hanamichi” are part of the main cast of their anime series. They both had the exact personality of a hard-headed delinquent, which changed as the series progressed. Both have dyed hair, long curvy and voluminous, muscular bodies. But their occupations are different since Kazuma is a gang leader and Hanamichi is a basketball player. “Kamina” and “Galo” are part of the main character of their anime series. Kamina is a rude and delinquent person who does not oppose anyone, even women. Galo is a person who has sworn loyalty to the people who have helped him and is generally laid back. They both have blue hair and their body physique reminds them. “Annie” and “Pakunoda” are part of the supporting cast of their animated series. Annie is one of the strongest fighters in "Attack on Titan", Pakunoda is also one of the strongest nen users in Hunter x Hunter. The general faces of these characters aren't that similar, but their remin...

These video games that broke friendships (even families). No, a game of video games with friends doesn't really play out like in TV commercials straight out of the world of care bears: No one loses with a smile from ear to ear, no one congratulates the winner and above all no one sees Monica Cruz offer to “do it together”. Video games reveal the darkest side of the player: cowardice, cheating, jealousy, perfidy and betrayal. How many friends have fallen apart, how many couples have divorced, how many children have been disinherited because of video games? All Mario Kart (Multiplatform) From the Supernes era to today on Wii U, Mario Kart games have been punctuated with blood, tears and elbows in the face for over 20 years. After all, video game shouting matches are like incest: as long as it stays within the family, eh... Warcraft III (PC) Well, you spent an hour preparing my army made up of ground units, air and healer unit, that should do it. You attack! What ? He doesn'...
