Corporate greed...is anyone else sick of it?
(And I'm a free-market Libertarian...)
Very good numbers for an RTS, and a good swan song for Ensemble Studios (we hardly knew ye).
Definitely.
One of the best games of last year, and one of the best independent games ever. Worth every dime.
And it proves that one does not need flashy HD graphics or a multimillion-dollar development and marketing team to make a great, memorable game.
@HD:
What's your point? I enjoy my system of choice, you enjoy yours.
I'm open-minded enough to offer criticism when it's due.
@Necroplasm
I hope you're right. UE isn't a bad engine, but only if properly programmed for. I just got tired of the bad framerates and pop-in (and looooong elevator rides) in the original.
That said, those are my ONLY complaints about the original.
Duh.
Most of the 360's peripherals are reasonably priced, but the HDs and WIFI adapter are overpriced.
(From a proud 360 owner, BTW).
Yeaaaaaaah baby!
Just cut out the elevator scenes and fix the framerate (no UE, please), and I am day-one SOLD!
That first Little Sister pic is creepy as hell.
I am seriously stoked about this title.
The PS3 slam was uncalled for...a reviewer shouldn't stoop that low.
But it looks like Rockstar has pulled off another monster hit. On the DS, no less.

Wait for the NPD.
But a million sounds about right. Pretty solid.
Wow...I don't know about gameplay (don't really play sports games), but The Show blows 2K out of the water graphically. HUGE difference.
I think 2K is taking their MLB license for granted.
Awesome first look at Big Sisters...
...and Fable III is in development (not that there was any doubt)
*does a little happy dance*
Better story...
Less buggy multiplayer...
And MORE HORDE!!!
Pretty amusing anecdote...and a reminder that slavish, mindless devotion to a hunk of metal, wires, and plastic is just pathetic.
Anyone who follows gaming was certainly aware of the nature of it (an RTS as opposed to a shooter).
Plus, a demo was available, and the first thing reviewers usually called out was that the game was an RTS.
Some people may have purchased it based solely on the Halo name...but I think they were definitely in the minority.
Then don't BUY IT!
Awesome. Can't wait to play it!
Glad to see the brilliant minds behind Okami and God Hand are still making great games.
Wow. LOVE the design.
Wonder if they'll kick your @ss just as hard as the Big Daddies?
Be patient. Changes to the approval system are coming, and will hopefully limit the amount of flame-bait that makes it onto N4G.
Time for dinner...need a nice, hot flame to cook...
...ah, here we are. :)
(Just trying to add a little levity to the flamefest).
