This guy is acting like he is the first person to notice the cut scenes are long. He claims he wrote the article because he was "disturbed" that no one else noticed.
Does the guy have some kind of visual impairment? Every single negative review I have read cries about the cut scenes. In fact, it's the ONLY thing they can bellyache over, since it's the closest thing to a negative MGS4 presents.
Of course, the majority of players (who don't get off on comp...
Uh huh. Well, besides that, what's with everyone being so damn negative all the time? Every article I read is about "top ten reasons _______ sucked," or "Top five worst games on the PS3," or "Three reasons the 360 blows..."
Come on people!
I think along the line somewhere, these wannabe journalists that can only get published by publishing themselves on the internet figured out that the more negative they are, the more people will rea...
I have to say, i'm not even sure I'd want to see a MGS movie.
Don't get me wrong. I'm loving MGS4, and it's one of the best games I've played on the pS3 to date, but still. As much as I like the game and story, you gotta admit, the story can be a tad convoluted and stilted at times. And the acting can get a tad melodramatic and even corny.
But I still love it because that's sort of what it's all about. It's what I expected and I like it for what it is (the story ...
They got this one wrong.
Listen. i don't give a crap about the scores games get in reviews. I'm not foaming at the mouth over each and every PS3 game that gets a bad score (and I'm only saying this because there's always a few high-and-mighty gamers that come around saying "oh, here we go...PS3 fanboys can't take a bad review...blah blah blah."
But here's the thing. I have never played a single MGS game, and I am NOT "bored and confused" with M...
GrammarPolice, you just said everything I've been wanting to say for months. Hell, ever since I bought a PS3.
I remember when I had a Nintendo, and my friend had Turbo Graphics 16, and my other friend had Super Nintendo. We all always wanted to play each other's console. We never, not once, fought over which was better.
There was even a store where I lived that had a couple dozen televisions and all the current consoles. And for like $1 for 30 mins, you could c...
What I find truly disturbing is that these people seem more upset over Sony's broken "promises" than our country's current administration's F-ups. I know, I know. This isn't the place for it. But seriously, if they want to waste their time with little conspiratorial articles, they might as well research something that matters, instead of a freakin' video game company.
Your "source" is 2 years old. And if you read it, perhaps you also noticed this bit:
"The likelihood of being done with disc media after this console cycle (yes, the one that is about to finally begin sometime this fall) seems a bit much -- the feasibility of downloading complete experiences like Halo 3 is severely limited by Internet availability and access."
There are plenty of articles about the rise of pure digital media and the death of phys...
For me, it's not worth the money or the time. The PS3 already looks good.
Besides, what happens if it breaks and you have to send it in for repair? Don't they often send a different machine back?
Totally agree. At this point in the game, it doesn't make much sense for the 360 to get bluray. But to pretend that the lack of bluray isn't a factor (for some--and maybe not many) is just posturing.
And when the next xbox comes out, it will have a bluray player. And I'll probably buy it. :-)
"The reality is there is some difference, but most people look at it and say, "I am not going to pay extra for that."
That's easy to say, but the fact is, if the 360 had a bluray player in it, I would have purchased the 360 over the PS3. And I doubt I'm the only one.
When we got a new HDTV, we wanted an all-around player for it. Something that would upconvert our library of DVD's, but something we could also watch bluray with, since we use netflix a...
We all new that Qore would end up on youtube. Even Sony knew, which is why--in their very first announcement of Qore--they stated the reasons a youtube copy would not detract from overall sales: downloadable content (demos, videos, etc), beta invitations, interactivity with Qore, etc.
Having said this, I should also mention that I haven't purchased a copy of Qore yet, and I probably won't. It doesn't interest me much, and the extras aren't enough of an incentive--yet.
...
Why is this so hard to understand?
I keep hearing all this made-up stuff about Qore. The playstation blog made it pretty clear that the content found in Qore would IN NO WAY change or affect the content found in the PSN store.
Qore is just an extra thing (interactive digital magazine) that you can buy--if you want to. Otherwise, there is NOTHING CHANGING in the PSN.
Someone else here keeps trying to tell people that some other company owns Qore, but ...
Thanks, Hitman. That definitely gives me a better idea of what to expect.
Question:
Would you say you have to be a fan of the games in the issue (Socom, star wars, etc) to enjoy the magazine?
I was thinking that certain Qore issues might be bland to people if the content doesn't cover games they like. But, if it's done well, it might still be interesting AND open their eyes to new things.
Any thoughts?
I've said it a million times.
Who cares? If you are happy with your console/consoles of choice, then you made the right decision as to which to buy. If you are unhappy with your console of choice, sell it, and buy a different one.
It's all about pleasing yourself. Not making money for corporations. Not convincing OTHER people the YOU made the right choice. Not converting other people to your way of thinking.
Bubbles for phreakatms and tiropitas for actually giving their impression of Qore with the "Qore Impressions" news forum.
Honestly, all the back and forth about Ads and paying for Qore is silly.
I haven't downloaded Qore yet because I wanted to read some reviews and impression first. So if anyone here has viewed the first Ep, why not give us a little rundown and your thoughts. I know I'd like to hear them.
Cool? Cool. :-)
Someone on the Playstation forum said the update is up. I'm about to go check.
Well, you're right about one thing. No one's getting any smarter reading these forums.
I agree with the other user about your tone, but I guess I can understand that people ragging on your controller/console of choice will put you in a bad mood.
But hey, here's something: I'm a PS3 owner that openly admits to preferring the Xbox controller! Whattaya know about that.
It's true. A couple years back, I lived with some guys who owned the Xbox. I always loved that controller. So comfy. Anyway, when it came down to buying a console, I made my choice ba...
This list is a joke.
I'm not a rabid fanboy (I actually do like the Xbox 360 controller a bit more than the PS3 controller even though I own a PS3, I have no problem admitting it), but thta doesn't change the fact that this list, as a whole, stinks.
Does anyone here really rather use a Nintendo or genesis controller over a playstation controller? Exactly.
For a joke, that was incredibly not funny. At all.
