i dont even have a ps3 yet.
"Yah A high scoring game should not be picked apart when its greatness easily outshines flaws although what that fanboy" was pointing out! are not flaws 99% of casual and hardcore gamers alike would be concerned with.
WTF is he even talking about in his original post anyways?(post #7)."
for a moment i actually thought i'd take you seriously.
Its kinda sad that you saw my original post as ...
If i had posted "MAsss effect is the suxxxoorrss lol 360tards" yeah you'd have the right to call it spam.
"I guess the ps3 doesn't have a game"
see the thing is, i had wanted mass effect since 05-06 ish but then as more vids got released i started to lower my expectations a lot.
by no means am i saying its a terrible terrible game, just that it was overhyped to hell, and the selling point for a lot of gamers out there isn't th...
Zhuk the thing that makes me pretty sure you're wasting your time is the fact that if the FFXIII's were set to go multiplat, it would have happened a a while ago now. in order from them to get 360 users hyped up, they'd need to y'know say it was going multiplat. What i'm guessing is happening is, they're probably betting that most of the users either already have are gonna get ps3's. They'd probably make a mill or so more with 360 sales(if some users in the west had gone 360), but obviously ...
"Even you, the one supposedly in charge of the game’s narrative, feel emotionally suppressed. That Mass Effect presents the same binary moral choices as KOTOR is no surprise – the Dark/Light balance there becomes Paragon/Renegade here – but you’d have expected a more nuanced result after all these years. The conversation wheel, which pops up early to keep the speech rolling, asks you to choose tone rather than precise words. At worst, the choices are so moderate as to be more or less the...
oohhh. Whenever i've read journos talking about this target, i just assumed.
well in that case there's a possibility; but they'd have to sell about a mill worldwide each month... (dec,jan, fed, march)
the 360's done i think between 1-2 mill this year total.
sony aren't gonna hit 11 mill this year.
3.5- 4 million ps3's would have to be sold.
I don't doubt that by Q2 those amount of ps3's and probably even more(given what's coming out) will have been sold. But just like microsoft miss their target of 15 million 360's sold by mid 07. Sony will miss this target.
logically think...how is it even possible?!
i watched that review, and there was nothing at all unprofessional about it.
He concisely explains that you can't even like the protagonist in a "cool anti-hero" way. He goes on to say this was because the writing was lazy and uninspired.
The reason why his personal opinion on characters is very very important for this specific review, is because of kane and lynch is supposed to be a very story driven game.
MAny film reviewers cite "unlikable" chara...
things like this aren't good for the integrity of the industry.
it kinda further fuels the notion that game creation and the whole gaming industry operates solely with profit in mind.
i'm not naive i know even great games have to get funded and go through a pretty soulesss process(publisher demands etc). But i genuinely do think that a lot of devs out there are communicating worthwhile ideas(or at least trying to) through their work and that cant be sullied by th...
personally
Tbh(ignoring the annoying melodrama) i like the look of lost odssey
sacared 2 looks meh
last remnant is multiplatform (journalism like this is whats making xbots ignorant. i see a lot of them putting it on their exclusives list)
two worlds - meh
infininte undiscovery - potentially very huge
problem with a lot of these rpgs inclduing remnant is they lack that thing that games like Assassin's creed(look ...
dragonquest just came out on ds and the ds is no where near doubling psp sales.
the psp Outsold the wii...THE WII!?
like others and myself have said before the big hitters aren't out yet.
Dragonquest was the no.1 wanted game in japan. no.2 is ffxiii.
i couldnt believe the ps3 actually managed to oustell the wii at all recently.
what the hell happened to psp sales...? didnt they slowdown two or so weeks ago?
that these reporters keep saying "and with reports saying FFXIII will get pushed back to 09"
i want FFXIII more than any game ever lol and i've read quite a few interviews with the devs. Now this 09 business was never a report from the devs themselves. It just shows you how shoddy a lot of western journalism is. It all stems from a rumour that was never really substansiated. Something along the lines of "ohh err,, translation make take some time,"
...
you're love for spplinter cell is pretty admirable but dude if you think it will outsell mgs...
mgs is going bigger than splinter cell in every way.
battles taking place over multiple continents, refined interface and controls, a crazy cast with all their own backstories, gekkos, rex vs ray, heavily customizable weapons, customizable camera modes, beauty and beast unit, a game focusing on war and actually making you think about the consequences , not just givin...
i can objectively say that's an impressive list(in terms of what different kinds of gamers' want) that'll probably get a lot of gamers pretty excited. I personally only care about alan wake, and lost odyssey (kinda. the melodrama kinds ruins some of the scenes still AA in my book.) also Fable 2 interests me. I jumped on the fable 1 hype train since it was called project ego
this wasn't necessary:
"Don't forget the two companies have different marketing styles: Son...
----____---- you post is so full of fail
360 users aren't looking more forward to splinter cell than ps3 users are looking forward to mgs. your average sensible 360 owner will even tell you this.
it's like saying ps3 users are looking more forward to white knight story than 360 users were looking forward to halo.
btw the new splinter cell does look nice, but it doesnt seem to make much sense at all. perfect example of this trend of western devs a...
the one thing microsoft doesn't need right now is sony gaining momentum when they dont even have very clear AAA's-OMFG-exclusives out.
I definitely agree that competition drives the industry. But using this in the article is pretty moot You could easily say it the other way around hell it'd probably be more fitting considering the lack of faith in the ps3 after sony's inane marketing. Like i said in my posts its stupid to think that games like uncharted aren't going to galvani...
Where was GTA IV?(exclusive DLC) alan wake? fable 2? project offset?
the bit about sony devs efforts helping the 360...
how they managed to spin that is beyond me? do you people think that even made sense?
The ps3's line-up in 08 is staggering. the lessons learned from developing titles like ratchet, and uncharted isn't just going to inspire 360 devs to work harder (btw uncharted is a 1st gen ps3 game) ps3 devs are going to be very motivated to make even more asto...
shenmue still feels very modern today. when team ico fans describe how they feel playing team ico games; they'll say "man what an experience"
i got that playing shenmue and shadow of collosus. it's a shame the sega era of gaming is gone....jet set radio future and a proper phantasy star online needs to come back
Spoiler alert: shenmue 2 was GREAT...till the abomination that was the ending...where did all that dumbass dragonsword magic crud come from? even that co...
You get instances like this when you're able to note the uglyness under the surface. With XBL it shouldnt be a shock...which isn't a good thing.
when the resi 5 trailer showed all those "zombies" getting shot, so much racism came from it. gamespot was just filled with the stuff. When GTA san andreas was first unveiled, you got a lot of kids on gamespot saying "i don't wanna play as a n****r, or i dont wanna play as a black guy, i wanna play as someone i can relate to (ye...
i definitely agree that a title like Halo 3 is far more of a killer app(just realised what that means). But i think it's very silly to think a title this big won't inspire a spark in sales. It might be short-lived but it's most probably going to happen. Sony are launching an mgs bundle at least in europe when the game comes out, with a shockaxis control.
The first mgs on ps2 garnered sales of upward 7 mill.
A huge portition of the ps2's userbase still haven't purchased a...
