Jaffe was right. It WAS like a painting come to life.
RDR got amazingly boring towards the end imo. When I found myself doing ranch missions like shooting crows, herding animals and running errands for MacFarlane yet again after the 1st ending...I just about quit. Mexico dragged on a bit long too as well.
Game was good, but I've played it all before back when it was called GUN. It's worth a nomination sure, but I was never GOTY blown away. Maybe if I'd never played GUN to 100% I'd have been more pumped to skin th...
Nitpicking. It's easy to complain about Mass Effect (aka Elevator Action HD) too http://www.youtube.com/watc... .
I don't have 100 hours to devote to RPGs these days anyways, nevermind ones with boring load times. Batman and Uncharted for me.
@ Jazz
Yeah about announcing games years in advance...Alan Wake, Splinter Cell Conviction, Gears 3 all say hi.
Cronos was VERY memorable. I still play that part when company comes over and wants to see something to talk about. It's the definition of epic. So was the whole first level with Poseidon.
Did they just diss the awesome inclusion of trophies? OMFG IGN, you're just freaking complaining about every #$^& thing lately and calling it journalism. If it pisses you off that much, get a new hobby. Go ride a bike or something, watch some TV, then you won't have to worry about trophies lol!
@Too_Many_Games
Well about that...unless everyone on XBL is a hermit and lives alone...it's an extra $60 for everyone in the house to have an account.
My wife plays, my daughter plays. I'm not paying $180 every year so they can have their own tracking on top of mine when the competition gives them all the same access and benefits for free. I can even share my games on other systems for free.
I'm sure now someone will say "you get...
@ SMOK3xFFx
Your list is lolz. I debated with myself for a minute whether to actually respond because I thought you might be being sarcastic, lol. It's like saying TV is better than the PC for watching shows because you get commercials.
I mean, Deal of the Week? You obviously have never been on PSN if you don't know that every week they have new deals. They even have a category for it in the store lol. Then you ALSO listed "random arcade game deals&quo...
In a year that saw GOW3, Heavy Rain, Halo Reach, AC: Brotherhood etc...they nominate NBA 2K11?! Oh oh, and Black Ops but only for the 360? That's a total fanboy comment right there. People freakin' act like the PS3 version runs on DOS or something. Would you kindly #$%& off? Speakin' of 'would you kindly', I'd even nominate BioShock 2 before that pap. NBA. Wow.
Light in my apartment changes all the time. I had decent enough settings at one point to rack me up most of the trophies, but what works in the morning doesn't necessarily work at noon or at night, and I do most gaming at night. I have to recalibrate it before every session, then still tweak it to eliminate holes or graphic breakup. My biggest peeve is really the damn guy doing stuff on his own even when I'm not. Then if the cat walks by it throws off the whole thing too.
I have this game, it IS a waste of $15 for apartment dwellers like me. I should've grabbed Dead Nation. :(
It truly is broken with anything less than laboratory perfect settings (distance, lighting, colors etc). The charachter moves, jumps and jabs on its own at times, even when I'm standing still. Other moves, like the reviewer said, honest to goodness do not always register. Like making a V over your head to activate slow mo' or the double punch slide. It is NOT...
@kenkaniff
They don't play games, they play NPD. Once a month, that 7 days of availability can be magically equal to 30.
Man, 360's should have an NPD application alongside LastFM and Facebook already the way the software starved rally behind it every month. A few months from now when the other half will have moved on to KZ3 and Resistance 3 etc, they'll still be fawning at Black Ops sales from 6 months earlier, lol.
Oh well. Being that G...
@shutupandplay
Better to be 3rd in sales than 3rd in games. Have you SEEN the PS3's AAA exclusive lineup for 2011, now with Uncharted 3? 360's got NOTHING but crumbs of timed DLC, Kinect shovelware and Gears 3 until 2012. It's over before it's even begun.
They need to buy some damn studios with those sales, cuz other than multiplats the software line up is dead in the water. Just shows you the vastly different philosophies in the 2 companies. On the s...
This list and the guy's "reasoning" is skewed to the nth degree. Drive the industry? They don't even know what they want that to mean lol!
ModNation sold great, had support blogs and charachters from other developers (EatSleepPlay, Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Polyphony, Media Molecule) and animators (Family Guy), weekly updates and STILL does (ModNation Mondays on the official PSBlog) and was more critically acclaimed (meta') than not only MAG but Fable 3 as...
WAAAY too much GT5 talk. It's YEAR in review Miller, not December in review.
Name drops Fable 3 of all things when GT5 still has a higher meta' average lol. So what of Fable 3? That's just blind favortism. Miller also neglected to mention other exclusives like Yakuza 3 and MAG. He loved Yakuza 3 in his review but doesn't remember it all of a sudden? Again, he mentions Fable 3 when Yakuza 3 had the SAME meta' score and deserved its props in a PS3 article mo...
Since Resistance 1 is already listed, I'd drop Resistance 2 and replace it with Demon's Souls.
@kancerkid
I'm with Garandshooter. If you saw the NY Times or any real mainstream periodicals flip-flopping from issue to issue, going from disclaimer to endorsement and back, you'd say wtf too.
I mean, even when People magazine chooses a sexiest man alive, they don't have another writer with a column 3 issues later talking about how the same guy is also the ugliest man of the year.
Danielle 007 is right. No one's saying people ne...
Drake's only 'family' is Sully, and they're freakin' THIEVES...not G-men. They don't deal out justice for museum owners, they ROB them!!! FFS, Uncharted 2 is called 'Among Thieves' and starts off with a museum heist. How in the holy #$% can they have screwed everything up right from the first level?! I hope this movie gets pirated into foreclosure.
Umm no, I'm saying 'pot meet kettle' There's a big difference. For one I'm not saying agree with me or you're 'spoiled and lazy' like this article does. But don't take my word for it. Industry professionals have been saying 'wtf' for years: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Brilliant game with certain elements I still prefer over Uncharted 2. Loved it. I went out and bought an HDTV and 5.1 just for this game back in '07. My 1st platinum too. For me the next gen' truly started with this game. :)
