But you weren't sayign this when LIAR got it's crazy reviews though were you? In fact you jumped the bandwagon dissing it they way people are dissing AC now.
Yeah it's kinda crazy how MS gets away with stuff like that.
Now that's a contest.
I kinda like that. I'd definitly get something like that. Just a little tiny thing that if noticed can let people know that I'm a gamer. I can't imagine the shock on some of my employees faces should they notice this on me lol
They'd be like "He's a gamer I tells ya and gamer!!! Let's try and find out his gamertag so we can screw with him online!!" LOL XD
IUP knows this. I mean we've all seen the manufacturing plants for the PS1 & 2 and we're to believe the PS3 gets made in what obviously looks like some repair shop?... with no PS3s in the picture no less?
What I'm trying to get across is this blatant disregard for proper news and the likes of 1UP embrassing taboliod type journalism. The gaming media have jsut gotten way out of hand and they need to check themselves before they totally mess themselves up.
What excatly are you trying to say? That the PS3 has a 67% failure rate? Wow. Even the PS2 didn't have a 5% failure rate so I don't know what kind of crazy water you're throwing down your neck but ... can I have some too? It must be some good stuff to wack out your mind like that.
No the money doesn't but the gaming experiences you get, when you invest in a console's exclusives, do. Gamers like you fail to realise that you makes investments too in consoles.
In the space of 6 years the average gamer will invest thousands of $$$ (anywhere from $1-10,000 with peripherals, add ons, seminars& events etc) in a console. That's more than some people invest in formal shares in some companies. You don't think you should care about your investments? just caus...
(Which it isn't) that's not a good sign at all is it? I mean a system in starting it's 3rd year only outselling a system starting it's 2nd year only by 2:1?
I remember the PS2 totally wiping the floor with the xbox for the same time period and thus one of the reason's the xbox couldn't catch up to the PS2.
There's no way a 2 year old system should only be outselling a 1 year old system by 2:1 during a holiday season, just no way if you're serious about becoming t...
Hardcore gamers are the ones that ultimatly spend more money on gaming products and are the backbone for any gaming platform. You may have a lot of "casual gamers" eating up your product now but they aren't the ones that'll support you fully in the long haul.
Without the hardcore gamers, it's only a matter of time before you start to hurt and then shamlessly do a 180 and run back to them with lies like "We've always focused and loved our hardcore fans and see the...
gamespot, gametrailers, 1up, EGM etc etc they all do the same thing. I don't know when gamers are going to stop being sheep to these editorial reviews and realise reviews are just the result of palm greasing by PR groups.
We have to rely on each other for proper gamer info not these gaming sites.
but people are still more willing to ignore editorial reviews and buy Assasin's Creed than they were with a game like LAIR; I wonder why.
Uhmmm, maybe LAIR should have had a Jade Raymond type producer... cause we all know that's the only reason the game's selling like it is.
What's even more funny is that more and more people are actually buying and playing LAIR now and scratching their heads as to way this thing was lynched by editorial reviews however, with AC...
I really really hate people totally belittle and berate anything but start of with "Now understand, I love ___ but..." These kind of people usually are slimy scum in real life.
Most that list are games he isn't really into anyways even though he'll start off it "Now I love __ ..." what a douche. I mean I don't really like the FF series cause I'm not into JRPGs or RPGs in general but I'd be stupid to not see the great overall experience it brings to it's fanb...
So they think consoles are manufactured in high class hotels with swanki pillows and swimming pools?
Does the gaming media even give a toss about great informative news anymore?
And they don't seem to care that they make little to no sense either. Is this it? Is this the norm for journalistic integrety with the gaming media? So they're just fine with taboloid type stuff with no subtance, no umpth?
Gosh this is sad.
Yeah I knw the 360 fanbase have been venomous about saying bugs are only on the PS3 version but this is far from the truth.
There does seem to be more bugs in the PS3 version but they're still a lot of glitches and bugs in the 360 version. Just unacceptable really but hey, they got their sales exploiting Jade's "popularity" so...
.. but I understand what he/she's saying and I belive it's spot on.
by next gen it'll be SONY - NINTENDO - MICROSOFT. Book it!
This is a six year marathon. When people say it's a fad that'll fade that doesn't mean it'll happen in weeks or a couple of months.
You'll see what I mean by 2008/2009. Nintendo don't really care at this point in time weather they come 1st or last. All they want to do is make sure they stop the constant slide of their home console sales since the SNES and it seems they're on target to do so.
By 2008/2009 the Wii is see a very sharp decline but by then they'd have...
..Kojima Productions does. Konami helps publish.
He obviously doesn't know what Art is himself. He's a critic and virtually anyone can do he's job.
It's a no brainer digital art is art and an incredible one at that. I studied Art history, I paint, I enjoy my time at museums and attend various art seminars and functions (not mauch as I once did but..) so I know what kind of Art moves me and Video games are Art. I won't even cheapen myself to debate that with the likes of Ebert.
The video game industry shouldn't ...
and I'm hoping Sony implements something like this on the HOME feature and on it's website for us gamers cause editorial reviews really don't reflect the general mind set of gamers anymore.
Does anyone care about what Core Gamers like and want anymore? Everything seems to be catered towards "causual gamers" even damned editorial reviews.
I've done a poll and brief discription on what the User Review system would be like and would like to post this on he...
