putting mafia2 in its place.. what a let down that game was. I really enjoyed the first one, but this was brutal

EliteAssass1n5734d ago (Edited 5734d ago )

well if i knew going into it that it wasn't a sandbox game, a la GTA, i might have enjoyed it a lot more. Plus the ending was just awful.

alphakennybody5734d ago (Edited 5734d ago )

I can't wait for his halo reach review, it's going to shake many hearts.

kaveti66165734d ago (Edited 5734d ago )

Yahtzee doesn't like any game. He hated on Mass Effect 2, he hated on Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Halo 3. Pretty much everything.

He liked Prince of Persia The Sands of Time and a couple of other games.

Everything he criticizes about games is stuff that regular gamers ignore because they're having fun.

Edit: Of course he won't like Halo Reach. He's not a fan of Halo games, so the more Halo there is the more there is for him not to like.

He's probably going to hate on it for being "more of the same."

But Bungie doesn't give a shit about what non-fans care about. Look at what Capcom has done to Devil May Cry, and you'll understand why Bungie doesn't fuck with the core Halo formula.

There are millions of Halo fans out there. And Bungie is going to cater to them, not the Yahtzees of the world.

Yahtzee likes some games He love half life, portal, Saints row 2, GTA IV, and he has admitted that he just nitpicks with most games and puts the bad out there for comedy sake. Still I dont think he will like Halo reach.

corneliuscrust5734d ago

in mid sentence just as he said they cut the plot of the game before there was any kind of ending "resolution"

Jack-Pyro5734d ago

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya1217d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled1216d ago (Edited 1216d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney1216d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled1216d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist1216d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin1217d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled1216d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE1216d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi1216d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE1216d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
