The song is terrible. As was 99 Problems, which they used for BF3.
An incredible multiplayer like Killzone 2?
The same Killzone 2 that was abandoned in mere months as everyone flocked back to Call of Duty, Battlefield, & Halo?
The game released in February of 2009 and by summer of 2009 the online lobbies were a ghost town.
Gamers experienced buyer's remorse and voted with their wallets when the sequel was released. KZ3 sold even less than its predecessor (despite a much larger install base) while th...
Wow, that's bad news.
It's very clear that this game is rushed. Only a 2 year dev cycle for this game (as KZ3 was released in Feb 2011).
Couple that with a pathetic 30 frames per second framerate, a demo that featured archaic gameplay that appears to be ripped out of any generic first person shooter from 2007-2011 and an underachieving franchise that features some of the worst dialogue in all of gaming and you have a giant mess.
Sony...
IGN:
God of War: Ascension 7.8
Gears of War: Judgment 9.2
Yawn. Yet another Xbox victory. Within 6 months, Judgment will have doubled the sales of Ascension too.
Who?
Seeing as Sony has been trying to market the Vita as a portable PlayStation 3 (which it clearly isn't), I think it's perfectly acceptable for them to criticize the Vita's shortcomings.
That's because IGN's PlayStation team (Colin Moriarty & Greg Miller) aren't baseball fans and know little about the sport. The person at IGN who happens to know the most about the sport is the head Xbox editor.
Just because a game is exclusive to the PlayStation doesn't mean either Moriarty or Miller will review it.
Case in point: God of War:Ascension. Neither Miller nor Moriarty like the God of War series. Miller actually called Kratos ...
Where is George Carlin when you need him?
Would love to see him tear Sessler to shreds for his douchebaggery.
People wouldn't say a damn thing if this was in an R-rated comedy (especially a primarily black comedy like the Friday movies). This phoney outrage is fucking stupid. Sessler is a balding loser. Pathetic hack was fired from G4 for good reason.
Todd Pappy actually said it was a female producer who came up with the name.
Judging by your pathetic comment, she would probably call you a pussy and laugh at you.
What a complete douchebag. Don't mind the score because I won't be playing the game, but holy shit I hate people who pretend to be offended at everything.
Where's your outrage at Tomb Raider for awarding a trophy (Widowmaker) to the player (a woman) for killing 40 enemies (all men) with a shotgun?
I can see why he was fired by G4 and moped about various video game sites for several months after.
Guy's a balding loser.
I feel bad for PlayStation gamers.
They receive bad ports of 3rd party games and very few people buy their exclusives.
Where will Ascension fit in this list of sales numbers?
Halo 3 11.74m
Halo: Reach 9.38m
Gran Turismo 5 8.77m
Halo 4 7.84m
Gears of War 2 6.59m
Halo ODST 6.13m
Uncharted 2 6.11m
Gears of War 5.99m
Gears of War 3 5.78m
Uncharted 3 5.70m
Forza 3 5.35m
Uncharted: DF 4.54m
God ...
Flop confirmed.
Go watch IGN's video of their single player thoughts.
They shit on it quite a bit. Likely will score in the 7 range.
The Last of Us will likely have awful sales numbers too. Remember the last big PS3 exclusive that released in June? It was Infamous 2 and the sales numbers were atrocious.
2013 looks to be a rough year for PlayStation.
It was a horrible game.
It's the 2nd worst in the series (behind the original).
It shouldn't have been created in the first place. It's a 3rd person shooter that no one played.
Gears of War 3 outsold both Infamous & Infamous 2 COMBINED! With a million+ to spare.
It also handily beat both games' metacritic scores:
Gears 3 - 91
Infamous - 85
Infamous 2 - 83
Gears 3 is superior both critically and financially.
Second Son: Flop confirmed.
Does it give you a trophy for putting up with the atrocious frame rate and numerous audio issues that plagued the demo?
Wrong, kiddo.
They can just use a proprietary disc format.
Hell, the Wii U discs hold 25GB.
"Short development cycle is most likely culprit for AC3's shortcomings"
You really are clueless. AC3 had a 3 year dev cycle. It was made by the team that made AC2, not Brotherhood or Revelations.
AC3 was garbage because they game was filled to the brink with filler. I can spend 20+ hours hunting, gathering feathers, collecting chests, & completing meaningless challenges? That's fine, but it doesn't mean anything if the story miss...
IGN's PlayStation editor got a chance to play it in January:

"I feel like the character is way too heavy he's moving way too slow...I thought Killzone 2 felt really good"
Ouch. Controls don't feel good and people can't use the excuse that its like KZ2 because Miller says he enjoyed KZ2 and doesn't feel like that but ...
Not impressive at all.
Not quite as bad as Kilzone: Shadowfall, but still pretty mediocre.
