And it was released in beta form to naive idiots saying it already failed. Would they rather have had Sony wait a couple years from now, when virtually everybody could agree it was an integral part of online gaming in like 2011? This way *WE* gamers can forge it over time and grow with it, not let it sit in the oven ad nauseum and come out overdone and burnt.....A work in progress beats nothing, and logic beats fanboyism.
doesn't matter what game or platform or dev we're speaking of, fanboys will always open their biased mouths before their minds can formulate any logic to coincide with the noises that proceed. It's why I come to this site less often, there's just too much of it and it gets tiresome.
Bubbles. If you ever played the original Red Faction from 2001 on the PC, IT'S main selling point was destructible environments. The games main menu even allowed you to enter a prefab room with infinite explosives to test out the engine, you could tunnel on and on through the rock. Why is this now being touted as revolutionary in 2009 by the third game in the series? Because it's larger in scale and non-linear? Battlefield- Bad Company had a destructible (Frostbite Engine) environment last ye...
but the _original_ Red Faction, on the PC (not PS2) was FUN. AS. HELL. That and a few other shooters took up so many nights as a PC gamer back in the early 2000's (Return to Castle Wolfenstein, No One Lives Forever 2, Soldier of Fortune 2, Allied Assault, COD1 etc...)....so I will be quite depressed as a fan of such a legacy if RF 3 bombs in any way...
is the first to become old. DVD9 says hi.
I'd rather have them wait if possible, I'm a gamer and want to have 3 awesome consoles next gen. Traditionally most gens have a "new guy", and then offset by a year or so is their prime competitor(s) (NES->Master System... Genesis->SNES.... Saturn/PS1->N64... Dreamcast->PS2->Gamecube /Xbox... X360->PS3/Wii)....so it's not unexpected to have a 1 year gap, but MS better have their head on right this time, as al...
they help consumers by giving them games and media at cheaper prices than brand new, but they hurt the devs and publishers by recycling products, so 3 people, for example, would have purchased the same product over its lifespan, but the dev/publisher may only get the one time $60 because 2 other purchases of it went elsewhere, they are the ones losing, and in the long run or big picture, that may mean something, and it may not, but it's a factor to think about.
"factory sealed" and not shrink wrapped, sorry for the miswording. I mean it had the plastic seal, not actual "shrink wrap" but after reading this thread, people were using the terms interchangably, so I suppose I did without knowing it. You know when you get a game at like Best Buy or Target or in the mail brand new with the plastic wrap that has the seals on the top and bottom? That's what it was, my bad....
once in a while I've caught a brand new, SEALED game from them for a lot less than elsewhere, almost like it was a mistake (but rang up as I thought it would still). For example, back before Dark Sector went down to the $10-$20 range it is now, it was still $40 EVERYWHERE I looked, online or otherwise, then I was browsing at GS and it was $19.99 and I asked for a shrink wrapped one. I got that half the price it was everywhere else at the time. Then a bit ago I got God of War- Chains of Olympu...
did have a performance upgrade, it's the developers choice to ignore that potential or not: See Metroid 3 and Super Smash Brothers. They're not Killzone 2 or Gears 2, but they'd make a gamecube cry in desperation if you know about the specs. Nintendo went with other options this gen, but they didn't just slap on a pretty new casing on a verbatim Gamecube, you should know....(although the current software lineup doesn't refute this, you can look to Dead Space's new game later this year or The ...
I have a DS Lite, and no _ZERO POINT THREE_ camera, that is about 15% of the resolution on my cell phone, is excusable. Take out the grand library of the GB Advance, and you have yourself a forgettable handheld update Nintendo, sorry. If you don't have a PSP or a DS, and the pictures and internet connection are golden for you, and you have no other MP3 player, this is for you. But at that point, you are in a very strictured audience for a shopper.
an autopsy may shed more light. I had a great grandfather's brother, and a grandmother who I never met both die of sudden heart failure well before reaching 40, but I doubt that current medical science would say there were no signs or preventative measures to be found. Pure mystery is much rarer in the realm of science than science can currently explain, but it does exist....generally considered to be labeled an anomaly until science can explain it.
The UK IGN gave 50 Cent's new game a higher score than his native US IGN reviewers did, it ebbs and flows. I'd know, IGN is one of my more trusted review sites online. You should read a Jeffrey Haynes review, Haze "bombed" in most reviewers eyes, but he gave it that horrid 4.5, whereas most other reviewers gave it like 5's and 6's....Jeff Haynes is harsh, and he's on the US IGN team. That reminds me of the other blanket statements I keep seeing here about the US. Not all Americans a...
....this is officially from the publisher/dev
you have to realize that HHG is one of those sources (if you will) that people either hate or love, so it's not far fetched that someone would "treasure" or hold high in regard HHG so much that it's more so than IGN. Likewise, many hate IGN, so your comment is hard to sense out.
I've seen almost no ads for PS3 gaming in the 2 years it's been around, unless I actually seek one (like a trailer of sorts)...but dang, I see MS spamming everywhere, 360 everything.
I think it's evident what "wing" you are by the way you spin facts to paint fictitious pictures about reality. You really have them spinning, I can feel the wind from here.
I bodybuild myself, if anyone has read a couple mentions of it when I said them, and it was usually in reference to Wii Fit. While it's better than nothing, Wii Fit is a "quick fix" like most "solutions" I've seen. Muscle memory is about adaptation, so he's right. The body will react to stimuli over time to inevitably use less and less effort, for efficiency purposes, when you involve it in stressors. This is how most plateaus are hit. You need to mix things up, although I...
FPS games don't sell exclusively in the US, so your argument is partially flawed. They are "western" franchises (shooters), but to state that only the few million US PS3's will be potential KZ2 targets isn't rational. Depending on the overall strategy, a Superbowl ad may or may not have been prudent, it's hard to say, from my own opinion. But I can vouche for the simple fact that MANY Americans around me watch that game JUST for the ads, so I can state that attention spans and comme...
I stopped trying to understand why some people here seem to lump us Americans together with the fanboys or media or whoever they think "represents" us, despite a lack of logic, it keeps happening. I was under the impression that judging someone on who they are, not where they were born, was the righteous way to think.
I love my PSP and PS3, I don't think I'm better than the rest of the world, and Microsoft annoys me. *Gasp*
THE MEDIA AND A HANDFUL OF FANBOY...
