I was expecting a troll to bring up Forza in the first bubble. Do most go to bed at this time? :P
Over $300 million first day? Sorry, but no racer of any magnitude can out-perform a popular FPS game in today's world (probably in the past though). Regardless, GT5 numbers are going to be very huge.
From all of the delays and whispers of it never coming out, the devs now decide to say "Oh yeah...that one game's coming out in about 5 months from now". Anyone else find this news humourous in a sense?
Probably a notable criticism to the devs. Just because linearity drives a more fluid story, doesn't necessarily mean there can't be different ways of getting to certain objectives. The ability to expand Bright Falls is something I'd like to see the sequel (would like to hear some sequel news in the future as well).
this idea gets into the heads of those who still would've wanted Alan Wake to be open-world. Fluid story takes a backseat in open-world games UNLESS an innovation comes along to change that.
According to VGChartz, Modern Warfare 2 (on 360 alone) already surpassed Halo 3's numbers. I remember seeing it around 11.5 mil for 360.
MS backed themselves into a wall by trying to crank the hype to 11.
Awesome picture :D
There's other games it can promote for being an HD console. Considering it does have more HD games than any other console (just google yourself and see), I don't see what the problem is here.
I would've replaced GTA IV with III and thrown Dead Rising in there, personally. Overall, it's nice to see a list with a few unexpected choices (although good ones).
I have yet to see a review say that "bugs and glitches are a big problem" in Halo: Reach. It seems to be like this is starting to look like some kind of damage control for the scores a worthy game is getting. But that's just me.
Awesome games should sell more...awesomely like Reach's numbers :P.
Your arguement is really flawed if you think 10/10 means "perfection". Even Legend of Zelda:OoT could be found to have flaws, it's how well it amounts to (or surpasses) other games in that genre. Things like glitches in RDR are really trivial to a reviewer if they find the overall experience to be one of the greatest they've had in sandbox games.
Can you point out which of the early reviews stated there weren't any flaws? I remember IGN US's rev...
Sorry but your point of "Halo gets a bypass in hype" is relatively moot since we've seen reviews of ODST. You must be terribly blind if you only see this case for the Halo series. When it comes to the fundamentals of gameplay hardly changing, many other series fit this bill as well: Uncharted 2, Left 4 Dead 2, certain CoD games, Lost Planet 2, etc. etc.
So many shooting games have hardly varied the overall gameplay compared to Halo this gen and it's evi...
I recommend you playing those games first before going off on a list wars. Artstyle has just as much standing than technical gfx.
I recommend doing more research before giving out your version of "facts".
WHOA! We've had the same basic review 3 times now (counting this one). This is just a retaliation review. Shame, I'd like to read an actual Reach review on here for once.
Shouldn't they be trying to distance themselves from Wii instead of attacking Kinect? Just my train of thought
I know, so many bankrolled PS sites. amirite?
Kind of ironic considering PD and so many others have done the same thing. Perhaps you should include ALL devs who do it next time instead of singling out those that talk bad about one's on your fav. console?
