I agree with the author's point and was thinking the same thing once I first heard about the Jordan cover. I did feel that it was an attempt to maintain strong sales following what could arguably be their worst two outings of the series in 2K9 and 2K10. 2K has been touting alot about overhauls and refinements. But I must say that this will be the first year of which I won't purchase an NBA 2K game on day one - or any day for that matter, unless 2K presents something more than just a g...
Team Tiburon should take note.
I have to agree...I didn't know Sheva was doing it like that. Then again, I was never much into RE5. On another note, kinda surprised the list didn't include Nariko.
"Its too bad it doesn't have higher degrees so more people can read this. I guess having a scantily clad female on the pic would've garnered more attention."
Yeah, either that or the stupid "Top 10 Reasons Why PS3/X360 Sucks" articles.
Yes, there were the infamous Genesis/MD vs SNES times, but at the end of the day, the strengths of each of those systems were still acknowledged and respected even by the most diehard fanatics. These days, fanboys have taken "passion" to an absurd level that I though I'd never see. It's kinda hard to compare the somewhat tamed console wars from back in the day to the sadness of what's going on now.
I agree totally with everything mentioned within the article with the lone exception of "The evolution of games consoles into media devices". Because of it's multimedia capabilites, my 60GB (-turned 500GB) PS3 is the best console functionality-wise I've owned in my video gaming history. And I've owned a console every gen since the Atari 2600 days. I guess as long as it still does it's primary duties right as a gaming device, then to me the multimedia functions are ju...
I haven't purchased an EA Sports published football game since the NFL/NCAA exclusivity deals broke 5 years ago. Finally, they have put together a good enough football game in NCAA 11 that was actually worth the purchase. I'm not an EA Sports junkie, so like you said, Madden will have to be extra special since NCAA 11 plays out so well.
Freezing is by far the worst for me. Causes you to totally shut off your system. The others, albeit annoying, are tolerable to a degree compared to freezing.
I completely agree with the article, even though I would have arranged them in a different order - the same five no less. I dislike fanboyism and flamebait journalism just as much, if not more, than the next man. But I think the article is more centered towards the advent of internet in videogaming than just the internet itself.
According to them, the move to Move is not shaping up well. The troubling part is the fact that Sony decided to forgo the Episodic content in favor of a Move make over. Not looking to be the best of trade-offs.
That was a really good interview. QD is another studio Sony needs to welcome into their family of 1st/2nd party developers.
Ha ha...screening process? What screening process!!?? It's pathetic how sad this trend of flamebait "journalism" has gotten as of late on this site. Almost makes it unbearable to visit.
Not feeling Haze much, but Heavenly Sword is long overdue for a sequel. I definitely agree with you on Eternal Darkness. But I think the article's focus is PS3 games.
And that's a bad thing??
Would be nice if this was Heavenly Sword 2.
"Why do people feel as if they need to defend Sony?
I don't get it. This article has already gone past 80 replies, why? Why do so many get sucked into this flamebait tactic where they need to post in response and some are downright fanboy replies."
Even better question...I'd like to know who's on the "approval committee" for these flamebait articles.
Amazing how not many people figured as much. I'm not trying to play the role of conspiracy theorist, nor am I into this fanboy BS, but that's exactly what I was thinking, Morgan.
Sounds interesting.
True. She's okay up until when she starts inching her way towards Kratos - when I'm try to maintain a one-on-one fight. That area's hard enough as is. Don't need for her to make it any harder.
Must be running short of "Top Ten List of [insert game related conversation piece]" or "Why The PS3/X360 Is Better Than The X360/PS3" articles.
