and maybe it's a cultural thing, but Velcry is wrong, it's pronounced "rap" around here in the way that taz8080 used it, and it doesn't derive from "reputation"... "rep" is still a valid abbreviation for reputation but that's not how taz used it.
Ever heard of "Rap" as in "rap sheet" at the police station? All I can gather is that it's a cultural thing, I'm in the US, and perhaps that saying doesn't exist elsewhere. "They ha...
we have a good handful around northern IL here, and they're alright as far as prices are concerned with games (and other stuff), but I'd still say Walmart for B & M is often better for games (unless you can find some of those NICE deals Target will have for their clearance area, I got Riddick for $27 when it was still like $40 or more elsewhere, and then RF: Guerilla for PC for $9.98 last month, and it's still like $30 everywhere else). I got Folklore for $19.96 at Walmart like 6 months a...
asking other gamers to validate his own opinion on why a game he likes is better than one other people like...If you are intent on "proving" an opinion, do it yourself, with futility, nobody is going to go out of their way to explain why YOU liked a game better. Better graphics? What dimension are you from?
WTF is up, is that Sony doesn't mandate proprietary accessorizing and upgrading. They open the floodgates and give choice and value to the consumer, and then also put out their own version. They don't force you into being ripped off, they leave options. So don't compare the two, it's apples and oranges.
don't care about reviews? How often are you on this site? Apparently sales and reviews are what constitute "a great game"... WTH?
the first time I watched the Spike VGA's that it should have been renamed the 360 awards show. Seriously, it was appalling.
HUGE RTS fan here...can't wait, this and SC2? NICE!
is that you used the word "instead" --I don't see them making this collection in place of other games on deck, and I'm not sure where such evidence could come from. This is also a marketing tool, in a way, to get hype up for GOW3...think about it, it has the demo being released with it, and some people (like me) never played the first 2 because I never had a PS2 last gen, I just jumped right into PS3 because it would be like having a PS3 along with a PS2 (kind of). Luckily I have th...
Nai give Americans a bad name, if in fact he/she is American. No wonder there's a perpetual stereotype out there. Props and bubbles to BathyJ for his usual astute insight.
I just prioritize my disdain for Kotick differently in my specific case because I have plenty to game with currently that I put above supporting a d0uche like him. I will get it one day, I just prefer to minimize my "support" financially at this time based on principles and morals, and again, this is a first, I never normally do it, but I'm doing it this time.
What have they been working on that is so fragile and delicate, financially, that it would crumble and split at the seams if they devoted a fraction of their energy to another platform? What R&D of theirs is still so dedicated, time-wise, to a platform they have been working on for over a decade? What have they got planned or came out with recently that supports this mentality? What's in store that can't have a single iota of funding reallocated to another investment? You're right, it's a...
...the PC gamers and the PS3 gamers are the most angry. I fall into both. Kotick is an A-hole for his barrage of comments and I plan to wait, and no, I'm not lying, I promise you, I have 11 games in my backlog now that Uncharted 2 is here and some others are in, and that's just PS3 games, I also have 4 for PC and a couple on DS and PSP...I have plenty and can wait. Some people like Paul above don't seem aware of why all the fuss is going around. He didn't just piss off PC gamers, he had detes...
agree to disagree. I know precisely what it is. An opportunity cost issue is assuming they will have an "either/or" choice to make, and it doesn't have to be. Plenty of companies can do both, and have done both. You make it sound like they have no option but to stick with PC-centric development, or abandon it for learning the PS3. Not so, but no, I don't run the company. They can just as easily do both consoles, I am unaware of why you're presuming they have to forfeit one or the ot...
No need for a class, I'm well versed in it, seeing as how I work at a bank. I just don't agree with those as legitimate reasons not to develop for the console, I'd find "We just don't feel like it" as being a more legitimate rationale than that. Being a PC developer is a fact, nothing more, and advancing gameplay and technology are not mutually exclusive, many companies do both and make tons of money and push the boundaries. They can do as they wish, and they don't "owe me"...
LazyOne, whatever Valve invested into PS3 development would, if they're the talented devs they're touted as, come back ten fold in the long run. Sony didn't go in the hole developing the PS3 just to give great gaming to the masses as a donation to society, they did it as an investment. The hope is they get it back later and then some. That is the business logic of any start up company, that is the logic myself as an artist should employ. If I go out and buy supplies and media, my intention is...
isn't what Teh Cell just described usually released as an expansion pack? All those features are generally what compose an expansion pack for $20-$30 on most store bought games, in fact, they're selling points if I go on PSN or XBL right now and look at new content. New maps? New story? New modes? New perks and weapons? Really? With all due respect to IW (however much is left out there), they could have REALLY shocked the world by doing something groundbreaking, not just "two point O&quo...
I agree Reservoir, and that's why I'm holding off, and some people keep asking "why, what happened?" I meant it months ago when I said I'm not getting it anywhere near launch. Best case scenario is I get it in the new year when it's on sale or I find a bargain online, I've got plenty to game with till then.
yes, you have missed a great deal of something, Kotick shot his mouth off for 6 months and some people are speaking with their wallets. He didn't just slip and make a verbal error, he perpetually sinks to new lows with vile hatred towards gamers as a whole, and particularly towards Sony and their business needs, then has the donut holes to come up with an overpriced Tony Hawk interactive skateboard. I'll be getting the game later after a price drop or sale, I can wait and have more than enoug...
you don't think that when Gabe says Sony should ditch the PS3 because it's a disaster was him saying it's of no value? That sounds pretty concise to me, he feels it's useless and I don't know anyone who would call widely-purchased-technology useless, but at the same time powerful, WHILST other devs (pretty much all other devs) have grasped it and flourished in their products, millions upon millions own it...it makes them look incompetent with technology at this point in the game, whether or n...
remarks are always disturbing. "are all demonstrably better in significant ways on the 360."....Wow. Just wow.
And uh, to add: "When things get hectic the FPS would rarely drop on the Xbox 360, but that is when the dreaded frame tears would appear. Almost every time you would fire a weapon a screen tear would result. However the PlayStation 3 was completely opposite. We never once saw a frame tear on the PlayStation 3, however we did notice that the frame rate wou...
