Would they have one article confirming something, and then the next article debunking it.
What I can't believe is that the first story was actually approved! This game isn't even in the alpha stages - it was just announced like yesterday, and people are trying to spread rumors about demo's!
They charge you for themes! They charge you for gaming tips you could easily find on the internet if they gave you a browser! They charge you for changing your screen name!
All this and you still have to pay 50$ a year to play on non-dedicated servers. No, XBL is supposed to be superior yet it uses the highly inferior P2P networking. I geuss some people just need host advantage.
Then they cram ads down your throat. People who defend this practice would probably d...
What it all comes down to in the console wars is this: First Party Support. Eventually 3rd party dev. are always going to go MP. For a console to differentiate itself it needs quality first person titles. MS has 5 in house devs. - they rely heavily on 3rd party support, Sony has 20+. It's no wonder the future looks brighter for the sony brand.
Can anyone name a few first party titles for 360 in '09? Besides Alan Wake, Halo Wars, and maybe another Halo installment, the future o...
Let's be honest, this game is going to improve the series but its not like its going to revolutionize it. If you listened to all the hype you'd think that's what its trying to do.
The first Gears had a paper thin plot, the bar isn't exactly set high. The first games weakest point was its campaign mode.
And I thought Cliffy B came out and said games like MGS4, games that are more cinematic are "passive" entertainment.
...I geuss well just...
Sure, one will be KI3, and the other will probably be the next Halo installment. 360 can't survive w/o a Halo or Gears game coming out once a year - and no, Halo Wars doesn't count. Anyway you cut it, 2 titles isn't that many to be unvieling.
Is another Crimson Skies too much to ask for!?
I think I'm more excited to hear what Sony is going to announce. I know they're going to be announcing 2 mmo's, let alone whatever else they have in store(GoW3,TwistedMetal,R&am...
People who can only play testosterone driven games, people that can't or wont use any cognitive skills to play games, are what cause them to be dumbed down.
You've obviously never played MGS4. There is so much variety in that game its nuckin futs. There are 5 different acts that all offer different takes on the stealth gameplay. There are bike chases, mech battles, and epic boss fights.
But no, complain about the story, which is probably one of the first plots in...
Because Gears Single Player is what is really passive. The story mode for Gears doesn't come anywhere close to the greatness of MGS4, just like MGO doesn't come anywhere close to the greatness of Gears Multiplayer.
And you'll have to excuse me, but I think it is harder to make a story mode as engaging and impacting as MGS than it is to make an online shooter.
Doesn't anyone else find it funny that GeoW sounds like a combo of God of WAR and Metal GEAR Solid. It's...
I love MGS4 just as much as the next guy but I gotta say there is no excuse for MGO. It's too bad because MGS4 would have been a better game w/o MGO.
Let me explain. MGO is not a fully fleshed out experience, its like Kojima just said, "you cant have a next gen game w/o online play, I'll work it in there somewhere!" The result, a cut and paste job of an online experience.
MGS4 would have been much better if instead of having a sub par online game just a...
I always knew this game was going to tank - how do you develop a game for next gen consoles side by side w/ the last gen version w/o cutting the hell out of it?
The next game I think will fall prey to this pitfall is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. That's another game for last and next gen consoles.
Lucas Arts just has a way of messing up games that should be good, not to mention there studio just went through massive layoffs - can anyone say buyout?
Wow, all these comments show how little people know about PSN. IMO, it is superior to XBL. And yes, that is because PSN uses dedicated servers and XBL uses inferior P2P servers. That's why in XBL games like Gears there is host advantage. The only 360 game w/ Dedicated Servers is Frontlines, and that's what the devs had to do to support the 32 player servers.
Sure, 360 has better online support but PSN is more reliable. For that 50$ a year for XBL I would rather just take less f...
FF13 is taylor made for the PS3. The game is powered by the crystal tools engine which is PS3 exclusive.
...Didn't understand a word they were saying but that background music sure was snazzy...
That is such a go to answer, really though, if only it was as simple as that. Sure, oil plays a role, but that is not the only reason we invaded. As of right now, one of the biggest critisism's of Bush is that he invaded Iraq yet he hasn't been able to actually take any oil out of Iraq. People who say this war is about oil are just speculating, they obviously don't read newspapers or watch the coverage.
Oil will play a factor, 20 years down the road, or whenever oil supplies st...
Yeah, there is plenty of honor dying for your imaginary sky daddy! Get real man, and stop being a slave to something that doesn't exist. These people aren't dying for a god, they are dying for their fanatical ideals that objectify women and treat them as indentured servants, ideals that encourage violence and bloodshed over compromise and understanding, ideals that promote a lack of tolerance to anything different.
I don't lump all Muslims in the same category, but in order for...
Obviously this article was posted for a reason. Somebody, somewhere felt strongly about this subject and turned to the online community for support and maybe even a little wisdom. At the very worst, at least it will start a dialogue. For me, anything that personalizes a needless death, that might open someone's eyes to the injustice of this war, is a good thing.
And is it just me or are a lot of the people who are coming out to call this non-news using this as a forum for their...
I'm sorry, but if you like this game than your just a fan of the genre. That's not a bad thing, but it's not an accurrate way to rate a game. I've played this game and the best word to describe it is pedestrian. It is just a run of the mill shooter in every way. The whole "nectar" gimmick is a really weak mechanic. It's the equivelant of slapping a body kit on a honda and calling it a sports car.
I wouldn't play this game if I got it for free. Some people are more tha...
Because this is a community for gamers and this is a topic that affects a lot of them. When you think of a soldier you don't think of some innocent kid playing super mario bros. Times have changed. This article just goes to show that children are fighting these wars. It is a sad statement about our society.
Not to mention, the implications of this young man's death on the gaming world in general. We play games that portray war in a far different light than what it actaully is....
You forgot to mention the 3 million Iraqi refugees, or the corrupt governments that have been put in place of the strict gov. that used to rule. It used to be steal and we'll cut off your hand! Now its, steal and we'll put you in jail until your family can come up w/ a large sum of money to bribe your way out. Plenty of Americans are aware of the plight of the Iraqi and Afghani people.
But to be honest, it's a 2 way street. Did the Taliban remember how America helped Afghanista...
Roughly 1/2 of our pop. voted for Bush, wasn't a landslide election. Currently, he has the lowest approval rating at 28% - the lowest of any president. Contrary to popular belief we aren't a bunch of gun toting suv driving flag waving war mongers. True patriots don't have to resort to these measures because diplomacy is harder to accomplish than fighting, and actions speak louder than words.
I for one could never understand what would possess a person to join the military in a ...
This article has more merit than 360 fans would like to believe. What does 360 have coming out in the next year? So far, the future of the XBOX looks sketchy.
Halo 4 - yeah sure, its in dev., but can MS dev. a Halo game and release it in less then 2 years when it takes Bungie that long to make the banal Halo 3?
Halo Wars - RTS clone, only a halo fanboy could love.
Alan Wake - This game is still coming out?
Here's a few titles for PS3...
