Would be cool if they blur the clear distinction between chat-and-nothing-to-do-space and game space. Give people riddles, fun tasks, or whatever to resolve cooperatively, a clever twist with a fine storyline, something Lost-esque, Portal-like, anything.
Doesn't need to be zombies running round the chat room, but e.g. an invasion of the chat world would be fun, something that makes Home more interesting.
You could then choose between this or the 'just-stand-around-or-sit-on-b ench...
... but I still got this game lying on my pile of yet unplayed ones, cause I didn't even think a second it might not have trophies when I bought it, find this pretty pathetic.
It is quite annoying playing through a game and having it patched for trophies afterwards. Not that I play games for trophies only, but collecting them is fun. So I'll play it then, got enough to do for the moment with Killzone 2 being out.
You leave me somewhere between complete incomprehension and respect for your stamina.
If a device dies on me once I'm already pissed off, but okay, you can allow for it to just happen sometimes. But, if this happened again, I'd be so far off this thing and the people producing it, because I think they just owe us reliable stuff for our money.
E.g. my first iPhone just isn't properly working (camera dead since I got it) so I'll get it back to the shop to get a new one. But if it di...
I really love Burnout Paradise City and all the great support and free add-ons by Criterion are very much appreciated.
But - why making this game easier? It already is one of the easiest games to make it to Platinum, I think. The only reason I've not got it is this one bloody trophy that needs a webcam (which I think is a ripoff way of selling you hardware; all the ones I've borrowed didn't work with the PS3).
Sorry, Criterion, but... is making Burnout PCity even eas...
No, I don't. ;o)
Are you trying to say that the RROD problem and the E74, and all that is in fact something positive because they implemented some sort of error messages?
I really don't think any hardware producer on earth should follow MS's example.
It really is amazing how people can accept all this and keep buying such rubbish. Maybe they just get so involved in "the console war" that they forget about everything like consumer rights, etc.
"This error is different from the Red Ring of Death, because only one light on the unit is illuminated."
That's what I call progress...! ;o)
Why the world obviously cares so much about NA news, opinions, sales numbers, useless mortgages, etc. is beyond me, watching things from a European angle. Seems just a matter of viewpoint.
I really love this game. It is really thrilling when it chases you through levels in a way which makes most of the FPS games look like Sunday afternoon walks (I'm thinking here of single player campaigns I've played through, e.g. RFOM, Half-Life1/2, Uncharted, etc. - not meaning to criticise these, but you just have plenty of time there to do your thing).
So, to take the "blues" out of ME seems a strange idea, it would destroy the game completely.
But it sure was ...
Well it's more a question of alternatives... still not having finished Burnout, Oblivion, never even had a look at MGS4, which I should play before Bioshock comes out, and my G25 catches a little too much dust in the corner, etc.
I absolutely loved Uncharted, especially for its precise gameplay and the twisted and film-like storyline. It's actually about the only game I ever played through several times, first on normal (which was too easy), then on hard to unlock the crushing mode and finally on crushing (which is quite something, never considering myself as a gamer at all).
But then, I did this long before trophies came out for it.
So, if you haven't played it yet - then just do it now!
Shou...
Is a shame almost all of the comments of fellow gamers are this ignorant
in view of real issues. Probably gaming works well for those in terms of escaping and ignoring the real world.
I wonder why rumble is still such an issue. Is it just reviewers aren't up to date?
I got a sixaxis with ruble about a month ago, just walked into a shop down the road in Zurich, middle of Europe. Didn't even cost much more than the one without rumble. Anybody cares about official release dates of the stuff?
And please don't come up with the "but you have to buy one..." line, cause this doesn't really seem to be an argument for the XBox, right?
... before you kick back at the wrong people.
Reducing toxic stuff in mass market products is definitely worthwhile, even if its about consoles and even we got one at home.
Same with Apple: it took some Greenpeace and consumer reactions to make Steve Jobs announce a policy change - which we still wait to be put into action.
Means: only NPOs like Greenpeace and the mass market can make them act responsibly. Sorry, folks, still got some responsibility there... even when gaming...
Haha... no surprise at all for us in Europe...!
In the US you may splatter blood and brains all over your living rooms and nobody cares.
But as soon as a tiny bit of a female skin is showing up in media half the Americans are all so shocked...
I'll never going to understand your double moral standards over there.
ps. also very funny:
Completely agree, ultimolu, I'll never understand how M$ seem to get away with putting such unreliable hardware onto the market.
I think, in Europe a company would just be ripped to shreds in media reputation-wise, and consumers would react/buy accordingly. But there seem to be some massive cultural differences here.
