The Bobby Blackwolf Show

404 - 10/20/13 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Ubisoft and Sony Delay Games, Nintendo Isn't a Failing Company

  • We start off with a question - "What's your favorite game you've NEVER played?" (Caveat: must be a game that you COULD have played, but chose not to for whatever reason. Unreleased and unattainable games are the easy answers and do not count.) This question was asked in chat while Bobby was talking about The Stanley Parable Demo and how it didn't convince him to spend $15 on something nobody wants to explain.
  • Ubisoft has announced that they will delay Watch_Dogs and The Crew, and they will no longer launch with the new consoles.
  • Already existing Ubisoft games, Rayman Legends and Splinter Cell: Blacklist, missed sales targets as well...Perhaps because one of them was delayed?
  • Sony has delayed DRIVECLUB and DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition and they will also not be available at the launch of the PS4.
  • Pokemon X and Y has sold over 4 million units in a week, so please continue telling me that Nintendo is a failing company. (Be sure to not save your game outside a building in Lumiose City!)
  • Then we take calls about Pokemon X and Y from the perspective of a visually impaired gamer, and Rayman Legends.

There are a lot of things that could be my fav unplayed game

Skyrim, GTA5, Silent hill 2, Halflife 2 (i would say 1 but ive put a few hours into black messa).

However i think i want to get into a completely different direction and talk about a type of game we don't discuss too often here. And ill have to say as many PnP RPG's and D&D games I've played, I've never been in a "Call of Cthulhu" game

To those that don't know, RP is sorta like acting. You create your own character and progress thru a story stating the actions that character would do. And Cthulhu is apparently the quintessential horror RP system. Ive herd soo many good stories and soo many good tales. Just to give you an idea id like to quote a friend who quoted his friend "I never realized how dangerous handguns were until i handed them to a party of librarians and professors."

My favourite game I've never played has to be The Legend of Zelda. I've never had the chance to sit down and play any of it, but it's influence on games and gaming culture now is undeniable.

Ironically, mine would probably be Everquest since it influenced many current and past mmos, mainly World of Warcraft which I have been playing since its release date up until last year's MoP that definitely killed it for me.

I have to go with the Half Life series. Watched my friends play 1 & 2 but never played any Half Life games myself. I did the same thing with Portal but I did finally pick that up and play it myself when Portal 2 came out.
Runner up goes to Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 the only FF games I've never even touched.

The game or series I've never played, but glad it kind of exists is Pokemon. It makes Nintendo some money and moolah is always good.

Another bonus answer would be Madden NFL. That's because 1, I'm British and 2, I don't understand American football. However, I'm not glad this series exists - isn't it the same game every year with updated rosters and better graphics? I guess most sports games are that way.

What a great question thought up by you yourself, Mr. Blackwolf.

I feel like Lumiose City in Pokemon X/Y should be bashed anyway as it's barely usable for sighted people. It double plus sucks that it breaks accessibility for others.
