Hence the "peon" in his name. What a nimrod! There are three gaming platforms: Computers (PC's, Mac's, laptops), Consoles (PS3, 360, Wii), and Handhelds (DS, PSP, iPhone, etc.). Comparing sales between platforms is like comparing apples with oranges. If you want to brag about DS sales, compare it to iPhone, iPod, or PSP. The PS2 will probably always be the highest all-time selling console. I don't think the Wii will pass it since it still has another 70-80 million to go ...
I have a question for anyone that has Halo Reach: do you have the option to turn off the annoying "disembodied voice" in MP? All of the videos I have watched for MP have really turned me off with that voice constantly saying crap like "first kill", "double kill", "killing spree". I could never get into games like Unreal Tournament and Quake because they had that same annoying "disembodied voice". If that could be turned off, that would make th...
Yep, plasmas are good, too. However, I did notice all, but one of the plasmas on the writer's list were only 720p. With a large screen plus it being only 3-4 feet from my face (its on my desk), I like having the higher resolution (especially when I'm on the PC and surfing the web). Either way, you can't go wrong. I just got my LCD HDTV because the price and financing were unbeatable at the time.
You know, if they put out a demo, it will more than likely be only something from the SP campaign: MP demos are pretty rare. So, it could be very hard to see the changes they made to MP side. However, based on the changelog, I like what they've done: primarily with the recoil as I like having somewhat realistic physics with my shooters.
LCD HDTV's are so affordable these days: I got my 40" 1080p TV at BestBuy last Xmas for $500 with 18 months free interest. So, I ended up only paying about $30 a month for gaming nirvana. To put that in perspective, I found a receipt for a 19" LCD monitor that I bought back in 2003 and it was $550! More money for less screen, no speakers, no HD receiver and a pain to play console games on. The great thing about HDTV's these days is that you can plug everything into it: I hav...
I agree with just about every point you made in your article, but the title needs some work. Now, I hate the Kinect as probably most true gamers do; however, calling it racist is extreme. Sure, it locks out certain regions from using the voice recognition at launch, but that's not racist: just another example of its promises not matching reality (I still LOL at that physics demo....god is that horrible).
Depends on if MOH has more player support than Black Ops. I'm sorry, but 18 players for Black Ops can barely be called multiplayer. I need higher player counts than that, especially on the PC. I'm hoping MOH has 32 player support like BFBC2.
No, but be prepared for some fierce fanboys to be in your face. It doesn't really appeal to me either (I played the original on PC) and then got fried for saying so. However, I do agree with the author and Halo is a game to be appreciated: it helped turn FPS games into a viable option on consoles. So, rejoice Halo fans and have fun with Bungie's last hurrah. They're going out with a bang!
To show us what we already know: Wii has SD resolution and doesn't look as good compared to the 360 or PS3.
Quote from article: "Guinness World Records has already recognised the Halo trilogy – the prequel to Reach – as the biggest video game franchise to date". These kind of statements are so full of hyperbole. I checked out the Guinness website and this was decided by voting, not actual sales. Why did Guinness use voting when you'd think sales wouldn't be that hard to tally up? Guinness is usually more reliable than that and use actual figures to back up their claims (voting sys...
Sega Genesis was my first console, but I've had a Sony ever since. Well, that and a PC.
They should have done separate lists for each editor instead of showing all their picks grouped together with all the #10's, all the #9's, etc. There are probably 30-40 different games in the list and showing each editor's list separately would have been easier to follow.
I agree, what a ridiculous title. Its in the top ten of influential console shooters, but THE most ever of all time? Not even close when you consider all the PC shooters that came before.
Wow, disagrees for just suggesting Xbox fans hold off on the Kinect until it proves itself more. That seem like unsound advice?
The trolls I usually see have one bubble....oops, I see you have a single bubble. Maybe, that means something?
Sssshhhh! The Eyetoy and PS Eye never existed. This has never been done before. Oh well, repeat a lie enough and it becomes the truth. Like the Kudo Tsunoda lies that the Kinect also has 1:1 tracking and its for the hardcore.
Wow, less money for more value (and motion tech that works).
Yikes, that's a lot of money for some iffy tech. Xbox fans would be better sticking with just the 360s...until when or if the Kinect shows some true appeal.
That was funny! Bubbles up for you!
Wow, that guy has some serious problems. What a headcase!
Edit: Yep, I got a PM from the moron myself. Wow, if ever there was a case for banning someone, moderators please get rid of this idiot.
