This doesn't instill me with much hope. The videos on Kotaku showed massive slowdown, texture popin and even model loading. And this was the 360 edition! I fear what the PS3 edition will look like, a U3 engine game...
Man of the Year, I have no problem with you, but jesus man... step off.
I can say the same thing to you. Only the people who pay for it think they NEED it and stand by that fact to justify the fact that they PAY MONEY to play online. I quite understand "what the big deal is," I just DON'T CARE. I've been playing online games since the Quake 2 days. I have no desire to PAY for online gaming.
And for the love of god, learn to read. I didn't say that I w...
Big difference between game issues and fixing game balance IMHO.

It will be nice come January when these are mandatory.
The top 5 WORST trends in gaming -
5) Unfinished Games - Games being pushed out the door to meet deadlines with the mentality of "we'll patch it later." LBP, Fable 2, Socom, Gears 2... no game is safe these days. Devs struggle to meet these deadlines that publishers place on them, instead of shipping when its ready.
4) Fanboys - Everything is a pissing match these days. EVERYTHING. It's sad, that we can't stand united as fans of a single hobby, and in...
It's a tough situation, because people are going to do what they want with their games. Still, Gamestop is nothing more than a coniving thrift store with shady practices (i know, I used to work there) and a business plan that screws developers more than it helps them. So it takes two to tango, and shutting either one down (Gamestop or their more idiotic customers) would be impossible.
Perhaps developers should use this as a chance to, I don't know, add REPLAYABILITY to their ga...
We're too dumb, yet YOU PAY to play online. Yup, you got me there. I can see why people call you a brick wall, you simply spam bitter hate and stupidity in every post. Nice.
Want to know how I get around no cross game invite? I have this thing called a computer. It's in the same game room as my PS3. I say hey, wanna play a game on AIM or MSN? Done and done. $50 saved. Does that work for everyone? No. Does it work for me? Yup.
And I never said I didn't WANT more f...
I have both in my household. Frankly, differences as such never really affected me. I'll pick up the version that I prefer the controller for (FPS for 360 for example, fighting/platforming for PS3) or simply the version that more of my friends are getting. I'll gladly "suffer" through a few jaggies if it means I'm playing a game with more people that I have fun with.
When the differences are this negligable, I don't really stress over it. It becomes a fanboy pissing m...
Is the first game they are doing this with Gears of War 2, since it had no last boss?
BAH ZING!
I kid I kid.
What upsets me is when they shy away from bringing up issues simply due to hype/big budget tent pole games. Gears 2. R2. Both have issues, both were glossed over in 90% of reviews. THAT annoys me more than not mentioning differences where you need computer software to prove.
Why are you always so petty and bitter?
At the same time, I should ask why the hell I should pay MS for Xbox Live, when its nothing more than P2P for 90% of games, can be laggy like any other network, and still has ADVERTISING.
For what, cross game chat? No thanks. I play online games to PLAY online, not to make little avatar chatrooms and discuss what I'm doing later tonight.
If this doesn't prove then that reviews are OPINIONS, I don't know what will...
Inane, you do realize this has been happening in the opposite situation for 2 years now right? Even when the differences were SLIGHTY in the 360's favor (Achievements, rumble, really?) it was marked higher.
Now that the reverse has happened... well... I see a lot of hypocrisy awaiting this thread. That or "its only a 7, flop" comments.
THIS JUST IN... Ocarina of Time holding steady at the same score its been at for months! We'll keep you updated on this breaking story!
Conspiracy is a heavy word. There is certainly bias prevalent in every review outlet however. Be it for monetary reasons or just sheer fanboyism though is up to debate.
Wow. That looks SO bad I can't believe it. The characters are so emotionless, even worse than Spirits Within. At least in Advent Children they were semi-stylized.
I can't think of a good CG Japanese film I've seen where the character emote/react in a convincing manner come to think of it.
More than likely due to use of the Unreal 3 engine, which is notorious for being not up to snuff on the PS3 unless Epic themselves are using it. I wonder why....
Aside from all this "one system is holding back the other" nonsense... the fact is FFXIII has to be released some time. And soonish. Which means I'm sure their intended dev schedule will be truncated now, due to dual platform development. THere is only so much time, money, and manpower that will be put into this game. Things WILL be cut due to scheduling conflicts, I guarantee it. And that disappoints me.
Also, the thing that irks me most is not that its multiplatform...
Remember the good old days when you could EARN and UNLOCK this stuff instead of having to buy it? *sigh*
