If there should be any game to receive flack for excessive gore it is none other than the sequel to Ninja Gaiden. I don't feel it is a fault of the game unless used "tastefully." Both games (GOW and NGII) should be excellent and will not be remembered for blood/gore alone. Before the press gets up in arms about blood and gore content in video games, they should really look at horror films; the dime a dozen that only have one redeemable feature...gore. At least video games have more ...
I definitely don't think the game deserves a 4.5/10 but then again reviews are subjective. I think it is extremely bold of ign.com to give the game the score it received but then again...I don't want to know what Yahtzee says about it. I take most reviews with a grain of salt...but when IGN scores a game, low or high, you take notice. The one review of theirs I just can get over is Prey; the game was unique but was sub 5 hours to complete, and had horrible multiplayer. Still, ign.com game Pre...
Grow up dude. The review is better than anything you could write or conceptualize for that matter. How about you actually read it and then comment.
Does it work well? I haven't heard of anyone "famous" in the fitness world endorse Wii Fit. This might be on account they still want you to purchase Hip Hop Abs (hillarious infomercial), Yoga, Pilates DVDs, etc or because Nintendo doesn't want the cat out of the bag. I remember an article on n4g a little while back that had a real trainer test the game out, which had a few positive things to say about it. I want to know: "Can I lose weight with Wii Fit."???
destroyah, that picture was hillarious.
Sonarus...that video is disturbing...Bill is leaving the company for Stevie boy to run? Hopefully, he leaves the Xbox business alone. Then again...what if he is crazy enough to make all music on the Zune store DRM free.................
Famitsu is somewhat liberal in regards to its reviews. Some of their scores are more in line with Western review scores, though sometimes their idea of a good game is entirely different. One or two review scores is not enough to decide if a game is good or not. Sometimes you have to rent before you buy if your not entirely sold on the review. Keep in mind that reviews are subjective, not unlike an opinion.
So...your going to get all of the games coming out for X360 AND PC on your PC? What percentage of people do you figure own a PC for Xbox 360 exclusives? They don't. PC gamers buy the best games coming to their platform. The reason why its called exclusive (Gears of War, Left for Dead, etc) is because Windows and Xbox are Microsoft platforms. It doesn't matter that the game is coming out on PC. I appreciate LIVE integration, achievements and 360 controller so the choice for me is clear. Also, ...
I put over a 100 hours into Oblivion on Xbox 360 and just started playing the expansion. Some people, like me, appreciate long games and relish the opportunity to explore them. Also, what is the point of spending $60 dollars and beating the game in 3 days? I would be bored too; everything just kind of blends together. Take your time and don't rush through life...or games for that matter:-)
But many people do, as do I. It was a more simple choice than I thought when it came down to which version to buy. I also feel that many PS3 exclusive gamers, bias or otherwise are denying the appeal of GTA IV DLC on account it is not coming to their console. Question: why would you not want downloadable content for the biggest game of the year? The question is an oxymoron. It makes sense to want DLC, exclusive or otherwise. If you want it, you know which version you have to buy. Also, statin...
There is something called too little too late. The day PS3 has all the online features of Xbox 360 (as it is today) I will be quite happy. I love my PS3 but I spend far more time on my 360. It has flawless online execution and a "community" as vivid and lively as any online blog. I feel that Home will turn out great but should have already been implemented; everyone has been waiting and let down more than once. With that said, I expect the Xbox to continue to innovate and improve it...
I am not going down on my knees for Nintendo. Big N can go down on their knees and do hardcore gamers a service. We were the ones that supported N when times were tough and he/she wanted a little love. This is how we are re payed? I don't think so.
Just another dumb PR guy trying to rub competition the wrong way. No need to defend your beloved console, the guy makes fun of himself in the process. I think companies need to let fact sheets do the talking. PR from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft all say dumb $hit. This article should be on BadJoystiq for people to laugh at.
People wonder why the Wii and PS2 continue to sell despite being "dated". Frankly speaking, they both are mass market, money printing machines. The PS2 is a very attractive purchase for anyone looking to get into gaming. The price is right for the console and the majority of the games are $20. Not a bad deal. It makes you question why you spend 3 times the price for a "next" gen console and 3x the price for games. Its almost enviable. The question is: does price sell games...
Testament that controllers and peripherals are overpriced. If the profit margin is as high as I think it is, Microsoft and Sony make a killing on controllers/peripherals. They are one of the many factors that buffets the bottom line and ability to produce a console at cost to the manufacturer. 55 bones may seem like a lot but we wouldn't have as frequent of price drops if not for the first party controller.
I think that the 360 is overpriced at its current price point. Sales have slowed on account that there hasn't been a significant price drop in some time, or at all. $50 price drop will not cut it. Roll out the the cheaper, more cost efficient chips, slash the prices and consoles will fly off the shelves. The 360 is still a very viable console that will be around for longer than people think. If the premium is still at $350 and the console has been out for almost 3 years...it must not be selli...
If people keep buying them, developers will keep making them. Mind you, that the game is coming to PC AND 360. Nobody says the PC has too many FPSs. It has been established that the Xbox has quite a few as well. I never mind a GOOD FPS; if it actually is worth picking up it shouldn't matter if its another egg in a dozen. I think the argument is a vague and silly fanboy insult that needs to stop.
And THEN...I'll believe it. Hard to imagine, a refurbished console is repackaged as new. If true, I would be outraged. Until proven otherwise, this article is just flamebait. The bundled deal sounds pretty good to me despite being refurbished; BUT they need to be marked as such.
At least they are still working on it. Hopefully it is just as good as the PC version. In essence the PC version will be used as a guinea pig to make the 360 version better. That seems to be the argument PC games have for waiting for console ports. If your upset with my analogy think about all the times PC gamers beat their chest and call their version (port of a console game) better.
Perhaps. The screen shots look good but I remember the game looking far better back in the day...1999. Its not fair to critique a 9 year old game based on graphics, but still. Nostalgia does strange things to you.
Ninja Gaiden as a series is known for its camera issues. Surprisingly enough, I NEVER had an issue with it. Disorienting is a better term for these apparent "issues." The camera in the NG series has progressively gotten better; Ninja Gaiden Black improved upon NG Original. Likewise Sigma has an arguably better camera than Black. Fans of the series shouldn't worry about this game.
