So guess what, I heard businesses need money to actually HAVE A BUSINESS. Guess where money comes from? SALES.
If a game doesn't sell, a business does not stay alive. If a game doesn't sell, there will not be a sequel. If a game doesn't sell, there will also not be a thriving online community to play with.
Can you people not use common sense?
What happened to a few weeks back when you guys were so confident that Killzone was going to "emerge king in sales this year"?
Now that the tables have turned, everyone seems to pretending that they knew all along that Halo Wars was going to outsell KZ2. Except they weren't.
That so-called "flop" outsold what has been called the "holy grail" for the PS3. Same "flop" is a console RTS that outsold one of the most technically impressive FPSs of the decade.
And for everyone now spouting the fall back line "sales =/= quality," why were all of you so eager to see the sales for Killzone a few weeks back? You guys were dying to see it's sales data, but NOW all of a sudden you guys magically don't seem to care anymore...
Ironic that you would say that his comment is one of the "dumbest so far" when your comment isn't even legible. Did you take any time to proof read it? Or even put proper punctuation? No, you just spat words out because you get offended at the mention of someone bashing your idol. Pathetic.

And you are calling him a tard. I suppose that makes you better than him? Don't make me laugh.

Would be hard for them to make a game, seeing they are closed down.

If that wasn't a sniper, then what is? Sure it was alien tech, but it had a scope, powerful shots, and you had to be still to use it. It is a sniper through and through.
@deathray
Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. If Goldeneye + Perfect Dark didn't exist we wouldn't have Halo or Killzone.
Erm... did everyone just forget about Perfect Dark?
The Farsight shoots THROUGH WALLS and has heat-tracking. It simply doesn't get any more powerful than that.
Don't move World of Goo, you have it at the right spot.
Predictable comment. Why are you even posting here?
Exactly? Maybe you should get your eyes checked (or play the mod), as it looks far, far worse than D3. The skins are cool, but that's about it.
I just played through this in an hour with 2 friends, was a good waste of an hour.
Really? You didn't like the original but this one has you sold... because it looks better?
That's pathetic. I would never buy a game solely because I liked the graphics more than it's predecessor.
Off the top of my head the only actor I can see as Andrew Ryan is Hugo Weaving. I'm sure there is a better choice but I think Weaving could pull it off.
"The top game designer in the United States - maybe the world"
Possibly in the US, but not the world. Miyamoto has him beat in every way. He has made only one game that doesn't have "Sim" or "Spore" in the title, and it was an unsuccessful game on the Commmodore 64.
Still though, I didn't expect to see him leaving EA anytime soon. Maybe he got fed up with them milking The Sims? Not sure if he had any part in the expansions.
Card games? Do you know nothing about the DS's library?
Let's think of a good many games that have nothing to do with cards or Mario.
-Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
-Professor Layton and the Curious Village
-Phoenix Wright
-Metroid Prime Hunters
-Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
-Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
-Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
-Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
-Meteos
-Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Never in any of my posts did I say that PS3 or 360 had bad games. Go read the posts. The only thing I said (Or even implied) was that people say the Wii and DS's games are shovelware when that is definitely not the case, and I abhor it when people make these idiotic claims. I happen to own all 5 of the current generation consoles and handhelds, and love all of them. You've obviously never heard of "playing devil's advocate" either - do you really think I adore the new Nintendo? ...
The Bioshock film sounds promising. They are using the same green-screen techniques used in 300 to recreate Rapture.
Gore Verbinski is directing it (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Ring).
John Logan is writing it (Gladiator, The Aviator, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Time Machine).
Better graphics is not an innovation. There is nothing original in better graphics, as handheld graphics have naturally evolved from year to year as is. Sony did make a bigger leap in that department than Nintendo did, but that is a leap that would have happened eventually.
Before the DS, the idea of creating a portable that revolved around a touch-screen was unheard of. Better graphics was a step that nobody talked about, why? Because it's going to happen anyway. It's nothi...
You don't understand how a business works. If someone made a business that specialized in wadded up balls of paper and people bought it, why would they change that?
Nintendo is winning this generation, and will continue to do so using the cheapest means. If you don't like it, that's too bad. They probably don't care either, it's their business that is, for the most part, recession-proof. Meanwhile Sony and Microsoft can claw away at each other for "dominance" while ...
But guess which company is winning this generation...
That's right, Nintendo! The only business here that actually acts like a BUSINESS and tries to maximize profits.
You can spin sales figures all you want, but Nintendo is the winner this generation. Period.
If you would use your brain you could add up Killzone's sales from February and March and still see that Halo Wars outsold it completely.
