Poor level/map design,limited testing,lack of support,all contribute to camper mentality for all the wrong reasons.....
clever map design,extensive testing,continued support after release,allow for numerous solutions to potential situations,including ' camping ' .
A time to camp,a time to hunt campers.Good games & gamers allow both.
1,2,3 are given,Ray Charles predicted these.
4,likely a truth but a rather greedy one not integral to anything whatsoever.
5,a knee jerk reaction to the empire being weakened by placing too much trust in it's greatest generals,now jaded.
Aren't current shooters really just glorified arena shooters,the majority at the very least.?
I still believe that MAG had the vision but lacked the execution....and therefore failed but showed what is possible,however flawed.
I'm not necessarily convinced that a lack of ' originality ' is the primary concern....
even though it is the easiest of criticisms available.
Like Mcdonalds,Old Spice,Spiderman,SAW,Mortal Kombat,Dairy Queen..... no fkn thanks.
The Playstation name is fine,the brand is as recognised now as it ever was.Thats just the way it is.
^ LBP isn't overrated,neither is imagination.
undervalued and certainly lacking at times but not overrated .
The killstreak or the headshot when placed beside the piano or rollercoaster most certainly are.
Little Big Planet?... not bloody likely...unless of course it's genius escapes you,and Halo CE !? best shooter this gen imo,sure Halo 2 was meh but CE stands the test of time.
Oblivion maybe and Dead Rising probably but overall a lame excuse for an article.
The term overrated is so overused and opinion often varies as to exactly what constitutes an overrated game anyways.
promote what?... an exceptionally obtuse and costly unit that produces slightly superior in-house efforts and simultaneously allows for mediocre ports by unrestricted parties,even lesser if not given priority.
with a little more hardware promotion Sony can claim ' ambitious, masterpiece, limitless' without ever producing anything relevant....
software however
The PS3 is a mess,simple answer.
The difficult question remains,largely unanswered.
still prefer the PS3 in any case,first to last or last to first.
sounds like a stretch....
still plenty of HD collections yet to be announced.
60$ tech demos are getting old and frequently underwhelming.
It isn't as important or worth as much as you think.trust me
One can only hope that 3 is nothing like 2 and that fewer than 7 people exist that genuinely liked 2.
Gamestop is in the business of making money,not friends.
To this end they cultivate certain relationships.
Remember why you are there.
Superstore often has better prices on most games....a grocery chain primarily....
and such prices are leverage if one goes about it correctly.
Complete waste of assets at certain junctions(sp).
The sales crawl to a near stop as the articles detailing COD's many virtues reach levels reminiscent of the minus worlds.
We have crawl/creep repeat......until someone says otherwise. unreal
then try relevant comments
Canadian gamers :)
The medium 'needs' to grow out,not necessarily up.
first.
The medium 'needs' to embrace outside thinking not upward fixations.
The medium 'needs' to forget or ignore the bulk of the mediums lesser minds,present here as per usual....yet somewhat amusing
With the departure of instruction booklets we have in game instruction sequences...
Often annoying, sometimes helpful.Stick them in the options menu,a separate detailed entry.
Kingdoms Of Amalur does a decent job of it,using various folding menus.
