I here you on the point about rticles from the media defending such practices from publishers and game makers. It seems as if they completely forgot what their job require of them. You're supposed to report the facts expose it the little guys, us. because although you may think that it's the corporations paying your bill, they're only in existence because of us consumers, and you're supposed to watch out for us.
There's an article that talks about about that
It sounds as if the game is broken and uninspiring. So i'm not too against the score applied to it. but my question is this, Why can't there be consistency in the review system, because there are games who have been using the same engines with little improvements over 2-3 games even. like COD and Street fighter and likes. those games are getting high marks when they barely improve on anything and just recycle
I'm no expert on the matter, but I believe that anyone who wants to play Super Mario 64 and Final Fantasy VII on a system that it wasn't made for have plenty of options, such as Nintendo DS, and PSP. I just don't see how allowing developers to get robbed is going to open up the community. If anything I think it will create a worry for devolopers who are taking risks on making games for the system if they know that a huge part of the community are using hacked devices. what's t...
*sigh* I really don't like those number touting articles. Release those numbers to the stock traders and investors, but not to gamers, because the "little good" that is intended by releasing those numbers to the gaming community are negated because all we get are "Idiotic comments"
like: "i agree agent.
Halo 3 for example sell more than UC series combined. ( around 14.5 M copies sold for consumer)"
Seriously, we'r...
@ GamingDroid, you said:
"However, that fee has provided numerous benefits not only for Xbox Live members, but ironically extends to PSN members as well (Sony adopted a lot of features from XBL)."
so I'm going to use your own point (directed @ Nitrox) to prove my point, as you told him:
"Except, radio and oil-changes aren't integral part of the car.
It's more like the manufacturer only allows the or...
@ gamingdroid,
Whatever bell and whistles Xbox Live provides doesn't change the fact that it locks the online part of all games unless you pay that subcription. A gamer who wants to play online has no choice but to pay for for live, even if he doesn't care about those things you mentioned.
back on topic: It's not fair that contents are blocked because the game was bought used. It's similar to a dealership telling you that because you're bu...
Yeah for a while there I was torn between buying this tv or the HMZ 3D display, I went with the HMZ, had it for about 3 days now, cost me about $900.00 with taxes, but the screen size and immersive feeling you get dwarfs anything except for a movie theather. Playing GT5 in 3D and with surround sound is nothing short of breathtaking, I let my friend try it for one lap on the Nurburgring and he was sweating and could sit still as he was turning his head with everyturn, lol. If you have the ...
I'm gonna be totally off topic...
I Just receive my SONY HMZ-T1 and played my first Fifa12 game on it, and I have to say, anyone who can afford it really should. It's literally like being in a Movie Theater, but the difference is that you brought your PS3 along.
I'm off to try Uncharted and GT5, KZ3, and R3 in 3D now.....I'm quite the excited guy today.
Oh and my apologies for interrupting the regular Sony hate, carry on...
what is happening to gamers? funny question,
But here's my opinion, If I recall properly, this happened for the first time with MGS4 I think, and then K2, then the other side retaliated and it's been back and forth ever since.
But the real f*cking reason I think we are now witnessing this nonsense (I'll explain why it's nonsense later)it's because the gaming media has for at least 5 years now fueling this fanboyish fire, hiring peop...
I think the reasons are simple. Fanboys gets themselves in places of power within the industry, ie. Reviewers/bloggers, and corparations have them in their pockets like never before. Even the ones who started out legit are now dirty hit seeking fiends.
And secondly, resentment from the ones who were done in unfairly. Anyone who just happen to casually read gaming sites can tell you that each company are judged on different standards. The ps3 was supposedly "the worst p...
Doesn't matter to me, I bought Uncharted day one when all the critics were picking it apart. Bought uncharted 2 day one when all the critics called it the best thing since sliced bread, and will buy uncharted 3 if it only sells 2 copies, mine included. Even pre-ordered the Sony Personal 3D viewer (hmz-t1) for it, and T5 , and K3 and R3, But I have to wait until the 7th of November before I get my hands on the T1.
I should have been more specific? haha you remind of Stewi and Brian from Family Guy, when they were talking over the 2way radios, and Stewie kept insisting that Brian finish every sentence with the word "over" even if the actual sentence ends with the word "over".

Im in thread, about "consoles", comparing two "Console Exclus...
I don't like calling people names, so I'll restrain myself in my reply to you.
first all you, you come to a GT5 vs Forza4 article, both consoles games, to talk about pc games as way to discredit GT5. What you did is similar to a who happen to hear a few people discussing "production cars" and you come in with nonsense about F1 and Nascars, and so on. So I guess knowin that IRacing might have better physics then GT5 makes Forza look better?
What about when over 20% of your cars have visuals that are unmatched?
What about when over 80% 410 out of 500 cars are from Forza 3, and only 5 new tracks?
Or when the Biggest racing genres with the most powerful cars dont get featured in your game? Like Indy, Nascar, Rally?
Or when 80% of racing conditions are missing from your game? Wet, Snow, Dirt, Night?
and please do remember that 100% of GT5's cars have p...
Haha, I mean cmon, I really gotta get started on my own website.
I really have to start teaching these "journalists" how to state facts.
It should be quite simple, If your review of a game is 4/10, the that game must, MUST have:
1. really poor gameplay,
2. Below standard graphics
3. technical issues, (freezing, glitches)
4. No story,
and if the game doesn't have all of the above and you...
Or it could be exactly what the article says: "they are SERIOUS petrol heads" As in people who really knows a lot about cars and racing, and most likely that need for a virtual racer is already taken care of?
Or even if it was a bias against an american product, so what? When the America media run artical and magazines calling the ps3 The Worst Tech ever made, and countless doom articles, then that's ok, but When the Japanese gamers speak with their wallets a...
I've been saying this for the longest time, the crappy media and paid reviews, and fanboy wars about multiplat comparisons, are all to blame. And the people participating in those things are equally at blame. when a broken game like Gears 2 was getting universal praises to the point where gears 3 cant top it in reviews, same story with R2, vs R3, then every single COD game after MW4. Meanwhile Rachet and heavenly sword, and uncharted, and similar games are getting slammed with all sorts ...
isn't portal 2 already doing this between the ps3 and pc? so how is it that they're setting a precedency?
@ Logic, You're half right and half wrong on this.
The right part is that gamers DO indeed give reviewers and reviews (Highly Underserved) power by clicking on them.
When I first joined this site, I wanted to start my own website and do reviews and discuss gaming topics and all that, but in my head, I thought I couldn't do it, not because I don't have the writting skills, or can't create website, but I foolishly thought that in order to be a reviewe...
Reminds me of Full Metal Alchemist. Sounds like the butcher serial killer dude, who has his soul transmuted to an armor similar to Alphonse. I think he was rename "66" or something.
On Topic, The game has a great atmosphere for sure, I'll be picking this us for the girl. She already finish Gravity Rush and had a blast.
