Well. Rockstar North have yet to let me down.
GTA4 could have been better but they had to squash the entire game onto a tiny little DVD (with vastly higher quality resources than last gen games ofc). So that lead to a severe degradation of extra gameplay.
They might do what DICE did and give the 360 something to be installed so they can have 9GB worth of awesome.
I would say GTA4 is one of the best games this gen, but it sucks ass compared to...
"a cheat, exploit and hack-free zone"
lol, also - they are not Infinity Ward anymore.
@Pyscho_Mantis
Obviously too young to have played 3, Vice City & SA. Because they are the definition of single player at it's best/most fun.
"the main city is simply Los Santos however is it AT LEAST 4 times bigger than Liberty City in GTA 4"
Not possible unless they have a 20GB install for 360 or something.
CJ is THE boss.
So it's San Andreas with better graphics and a new story! Yesssssssssssssssss!
DICE games are ALWAYS broken on release.
It'll take them a good year or two to patch most things (then they will leave a lot of other obvious bugs in forever).
Gameplay wise, it's excellent. Basically just BF2 with better physics, gunplay and graphics.
Bonus probably goes to EA bosses tbh.
I'd rather invest my £40 in a multiplayer title that I will be playing on and off for a year or two than a great single player title.
I have UC3, but I will pick up batman in a few weeks, it isn't worth full price for the time I will be playing it for.
"Bf3 deserves it sales for pushing the industry forward technically and visually."
Not really... The destruction is fairly primitive from a technological standpoint, just very wel...
It's not been out for a full week yet in Europe.
Not sure if the sales so far in Europe are taken into account or if its only NA sales. But the true week 1 sales will be a little hihger.
Hell, I've yet to buy mine.
(MW3 might actually be pretty good judging from what the developers have said in various comments)
BC2 had odd feeling guns, the main improvement of BF3 over BC2 (and BF2) is how the guns feel (they actually shoot now!).
So the next BF will probably seem to be improving very little over BF3 and get slagged like CoD has.
The golden age is probably to come in about 20-30 years to be honest.
Think about how long the movie industry has been around and especially how long there has been the written word (there are still amazing new movies and books being released).
Games give more of a scope for creativity than any other form of media.
True, there has been a slump in masterpiece game releases in the current console generation. But there is new blood entering the ...
I'd so love to design a game like that :D
Smash bros is so awesome but it could be even better.
Because most of those games were trash :/
LA Noire would be the exception, with Dead Space 2 also being a decent game.
Site is very slow atm...
"retail will stop stocking their games"
And.... so the profits can stay with the developer/publisher. If they could, they would all instantly drop high street retailers - but if one publisher does that then their competitors instantly gain an advantage. The only way it would work is if the console forced digital only but high street retailers are a good way of propagating the console platform so that games can be sold for it in the first place. It's an odd situa...
PC does a lot more on-the-fly and load time decompression so that the install files can be smaller. Can't be done on PS3/360 because of the RAM limitations. I doubt encryption on the 360 install would differ from that on the PC or PS3 unless Microsoft had some reason to force it.
It's fine when they let you preload a Steam game on PC, because you can have it downloaded before release and not have to wait.
When you buy a game after launch and can't wait to play it you don't have to get home first or wait for it to arrive by mail before you can play it. So you would be waiting/delaying anyway most of the time even with a physical copy.
6-7mbps worldwide would be enough for digital download to be appropriate for full adoption...
"so horrid to control on pc lol, glad I have a mouse with adjustable sensitivity on the fly otherwise it would be getting a serious work out. I know you can use the directions on the KB too but I just cant aim that way "
"lead platform"
Dice lied again :P Where are the adjustable sliders for sensitivity in every control mode? The horizontal/vertical ratio in jets is utterly insane (not the actual control, but the pickup of the input - obvi...
"Do you like gore? We can all agree that for a game like Skyrim, it brings a lot of pressure being able to annihilate your enemies in the most brutual way imaginable, right? Before I get carried away, you must know that there is no option to turn off the gore.

Hmm... so he is pretending that he agrees that a decal texture that spawns on...
