I have one simple reason why gamers are very tough reviewers these days...sixty dollar price tags on games. At that price, the game better at least equal the entertainment value I get from watching six good feature films in the cinema.
I personally didn't like the demo. It was too all over the board for my taste, going froom fun to not fun, fun to not fun. Ok, starting out, yeah the action was cool, but then again the canned slo mo moves got old quickly. Unlike Max Payne where you have a limited amount of bullet time used in conjunction with whatever kind of move you want to make.
Then we go into a red background button mashing hack & slash section. Visually impressive, but simplistic game playing.

nirwanda - You are trying to imply that it takes the same intelligence to be good at Guitar hero as studying music? I don't know what to say to you, other than I hope all that game playing gives you a huge IQ boost.
I don't mind coming accorss as arrogant, because I also play games as well as play music. I can speak from experience on both fronts. I gaurantee you the discipline is much more challenging at playing a real instrument. You are not being rewarded with a fun experie...
I have no interest in those kinds of games, but don't you need to buy peripherals to play them? If so, then I really don't see why they shouldn't make the game a seperate thing independent of the consoles if they decide to.
Then the shareholders can find out for themselves if it is a good plan or not, depending on if people actually buy that. If people don't buy it, then I guess this guy failed at looking out for the shareholders.
An add-on adaptor? How quaint and old fashioned, haha.
There is a market, but as seen with the PS3, a smaller market when you get into the $400 price range.
Us older gamers still like boobs, just like we did when we were teenagers.
haha, people are getting suckered so hard into buying junk that will collect dust in a closet within a year or too.
Overhyped in my opinion would be a game that is pumped up a lot in reviews & advertisements, but then doesn't sell well.
If a game sells millions of copies, and most people like it, how can one individual who isn't impressed have a leg to stand on by calling it overhyped? I think it really comes down to some people acting like a knowitall, and thinking their taste is the benchmark everyone else should follow. It's just foolish arrogance.
a little late the party eh?
"Tell all of us, please.. what had YOU accomplished by the time you were 12?
Right..
That's what I thought."
LorD - I'll answer for you with my own personal story. When I was 12, I had already been playing music for several years, could sight read music, & played in the school band. Those are skills that blossomed as I grew older, and have given me a lifetime of enjoyment. By the time I was a teenager, I was an accomplished guitar pla...
Ok kid, your 15 minutes are up. Now do your homework, and learn some skills that will actually be relevant in life. ;-)
Does losing an exclusive actually matter to game players? I mean if it is multiplatform, you canstill buy it & play it. I can see that it matters to the hardware makers, but to the players? Why would it matter?
Cool. I've been waiting to checkout those boobs...er...I mean this game for while now.
For sure. If someone breaks into your house while you are there, you better react swiftly with serious intent, or you may be the one who ends up dead.
lol, they're all a bunch of d!cks, haha. Don't feel bad for the other mega corporation, like they are a bunch of nice guys. Yeah, all these business people are holding hands, singing songs about puppy dogs & rainbows. ;-)
It is not a matter of PS3 players "thinking" they are getting more on the subsequent PS3 release. They are.
It is a collective thing. Seems like he is constantaly saying things that are offensive to game buying consumers. The annoyance with him is more than this one statement.
This guy talks like he does because he knows only people that read game sites will ever hear it...and people that read game sites are addicted to games, and will still buy them while a CEO is calling them "sucker" right to their face.
If this was the CEO for a company like McDonald's talking this way, it would get world attention, and be a PR nightmare...and the company's board of directors would fire him.
Personally, I read game sites, but am not add...
It's all about moderation. Playing video games are fun, and not evil. But if you spend too much time doing this instead of learning, just like watching too much TV or hanging out partying instead of going to school...you will be dumb as a stump.
