I don't see how thats possible, considering there are less PS3's sold than 360's.
But hey, whatever helps you sleep at night!
Sad part is, idiots will buy it. Sucks.
I'm not against DLC, I'm against abusing consumers. Adding songs to Rock Band to extend the life of the game = good.
Forcing people to pay for things that should have been on the disc in the first place, or are released on day 1 (hi Protoman, Yoda) is total BS.
Wow... Galvanise tells someone to be a gamer, not a hater, and you make a stupid comment like this? LULZ.
You know, I enjoyed Gears of War much more when it was called Kill.Switch, back on the PS2. ITS SO ORIGINAL OMG. GO MS!!!
Grow up.
If I may?
Fanboys won't go away. Childish competition is something that is fostered by the internet, since people can say what they want with lack of reprecussions, hidden behind some cozy screenname or avatar.
No, in my opinion, the problem lies with review scores. Assigning a random number, a quantifier on something as subjective as FUN and ENTERTAINMENT, is hilariously stupid. And yet we have people that stand by reviews, by these opinions given by other peop...
Generic like Halo? The wannabe Aliens/Ringworld ripoff? No personality, blah blah.
God, grow up guys.
Pumpkin, I was merely leveraging the same argument tossed against quality titles like Uncharted and Resistance by fanboys. It's just silly that there is some made up delineation at 90% that divides a great game from a AAA game. It's silly, it's stupid, and frankly, I think videogame review scores should be done away with. They are a joke, as they are not based on anything but opinion. As I said, it doesn't change what game is actually IN the case when you buy it, nor how much you enjoy it. ...
Crab is right to an extent. It really depends on where this source file is coming from. If it is a retail copy of the disc, chances are a lot of these bugs are going to keep happening. If its occlusion, slowdown, screen tearing, etc, the burner isn't going to affect that. If its things like loading time, accessing menus, etc. THAT can be affected by the burner.
No need to tear down a solid sequel before it's even released though.
Also, every game has bugs. It's j...
Indeed, it's silly, as I pointed out on the previous page. Review scores are arbitrary OPINIONS that mean NOTHING. The review itself is what matters, and every review says that this is a great game. Who cares what someone ELSE thinks of it? Can you tell me exactly what the difference is between an 89% game and 90% game is? Can you quantify fun?
I'm sorry but Fable 2 currently holds an 89.1% at Gamerankings.com, which by Xbox360 fanboy definition, is NOT a AAA status game. I'm sorry.
In all seriousness, while I highly doubt the veracity of VGcharts claims, since frankly, they pad... congratulations to Lionhead and the team for all their hard work. Reading these reviews, it would seem that Fable 2 is a great game worthy of any gamer's time. People shouldn't give a damn how much it sells OR what it scores, it won't chang...
How can you disagree with a QUESTION?! I was asking, does this cut down on load times in Far Cry 2 for PS3, because i know the 360 edition has loading cuts.
God, people are pathetic here.
Has anyone found out the benefits yet to loading/load times because of this?
Sonarus is right. This obsession with review scores and not the reviews themselves, when they often dont even match up, is rather pathetic and stupid. Example - Fable 2 and Motorstorm 2. Both games are said to be better than their prequels in every way, and yet often they are scoring below the first installments at many sites.
So, does that stupid, made up number ruin the game for you all of a sudden? Whats the difference between an 8.9 and a 9? Does it change whats in the pack...
Then we need some things, like a set standard/universal scale for reviews, something we will NEVER have.
That's the problem, you cannot quantify fun, its subjective, 100%. Reviews are opinions, nothing more. People need to stop factualizing them.
My opinion...
1) Everyone is raving about the gameplay, which is what matters. The game itself is solid, and the issues wont last forever.
2)That doesn't justify releasing a game that isn't stable online, or fully feature-implemented. Sony should have waited until things were far more stable.
3) Review SCORES mean d1ck. Stop putting so much emphasis on them. Scoring the game a 6, 7, 8 whatever doesnt change what is in the box, how great the gamepla...
Ya know, you COULD point out how this is news for ALL games but instead you have to be vindictive? Grow up man. Stop being so freaking bitter.
I don't care what game this is, its proof that review scores are total, 100% arbitrary BS that shouldn't matter, and yet they influence so many. This is a serious issue, and one that gamers shouldn't stand for frankly.
Pulling numbers out of your ass, I love reviewers!
This fanboy/media bias nonsense is getting disgusting. Seriously, trying to sabotage scores? How low do you have to be?
Sad thing is, people believe these SCORES more than they believe the reviews themselves. They look at the number assigned often and thats it. And now, they get FAKE scores to go along with ARBITRARY scores?
Wow, gaming journalism is a joke, and sites like metacritic are pathetic if this is true. Grow up people, its ok for the PS3, 360, and Wii t...
Review scores should never mean anything to us, especially not in comparison with your own opinion.
One of the greatest, if not THE greatest, game series of all time. It's not for everyone, but for those it works for, it works amazingly. Kudos.
Also, MG started out with a pair of games for the MSX, not the NES. Tsk tsk, typical error. ;-)
I'm an artist before a gamer.
MASSIVE SPOILERS BELOW, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!
The Locust are really cool design wise, as is the Brumak, and the tough guy designs are fun because they fit the universe Epic setup for Gears. If this last boss IS the Queen, why oh why is it a 99% ripoff of the parasite from the movie the Faculty? It's so disappointing, and the fight looks lackluster. Where's that badass Predator deal? That was a nice twist on a somewhat established de...
Really Cell? Awesome. Now we don't have to hear that Halo is better than Resistance, or MGS is better than Gears.
Good to know, thanks!
