Sort of.
Article only mentioned DeadSpace2, while MassEffect2 and MoH were also available as free bonuses.

They also had discount coupons, which wasn't mentioned.
Unless if I missed it.

Anyways, too late now, since EA closed the deal early.

CS isn't known for visuals.

I am not in the GO beta, but from what I've heard, the game runs pretty smooth.
That, is the biggest factor... and the signs of gameplay being designed for consoles aren't there.
(Only hint those images give is that GO has a lower fov, but that better be adjustable)

Doesn't matter how fancy the visuals are because most competitive players will notch the visuals down for better frame-rates anyways. <...

^ I don't think either me or Creep meant that new players have to miss out on TM. (Well, I certainly didn't at least)

You said it yourself, the game was made for fans first.
i.e. not for new players.

Doesn't mean that it's impossible for new players to enjoy the game, or that the game just gives the finger to new players.
The control options are proof that they wanted to make it accessible for both new and old alike (it has the...

Well, I missed the quote the first time because you didn't really give any counter-argument.
You just appear to agree with what he said.

The game is for fans, not for new players.
However, that doesn't invalidate the opinion of a new player.
Fans are going to buy the game anyways, no matter what score the game gets, cause they most likely played the demo.

... and I don't have any personal case against you. Not sure what giv...

Why is it necessary to bash CoD just because you don't agree with the reviewer?

Also, the reviewer said the same thing as you. This is a quote from the review:
"Unless you're a longtime fan of the franchise, it might not be worth hopping behind the wheel."

EDIT: Between the two of us, it's pretty easy to see who's nerve was struck. =)

^ That's not a proper argument.

Those 3000 results don't necessarily mean all 3000 videos are about framerate issues.

Try replacing 'skyrim' in your search with any other game. You'll get similar number of results.

Also, compared to the million(s?) of people that bought the game, that number is kinda small.

" people should be demanding that games are of the calibre of games like killzone 3 uncharted 3, gow 3 and a lot of other exclusives on the ps3"

Yea, more linear action games, less open world RPGs.
If anything, Infamous is the kind of calibre games need to be, and even it isn't that comparable tech-wise.

I'm not sure why people are under the assumption that Skyrim for PS3 is completely broken. Yes, it has it's issues, but they...

^ Well, if multiplayer-on-the-go is the big selling feature, how would Vita connect to the multiplayer?

You'd need Wifi or 3G ... but the former is rare to come by, and the latter isn't meant for gaming.

I guess being able to play with people near your location could work, but that'd be only against other Vita users, right?

CoD's success on home console systems doesn't necessarily mean it'll do well on a handheld. I th...

You need to look up the definition of 'facts', because that ain't what you're spewing.

Poor ones? O.o

EDIT: If you think like that, sure.
But I think 'AAA' is typically regarding the game's budget.
i.e. Had a large team, and large production costs.

Obviously, by pouring in all that money and manpower, they want to a high quality product, but it isn't guaranteed.

They're only loosing money if you assume that those buyers would have bought ME3 or BF3 individually.

It's a foolish assumption because what's going to happen is, those people won't pre-order ME3, and will just buy those games when they're cheaper and include all the DLC (and likely from a different retailer out of spite to origin)
That's if they're lucky. This is the PC we're talking about, and with the distrust regarding Origin, it is...

Err, where does it say the promotion is ending early?
(i.e source?)

I still see the deal available on origin.

EDIT: That's odd. Just checked Origin after making the comment and the deal disappeared.
o.o

Welp. Guess the deal is over. Whatever EA, you just lost yourself $60.

Nope. Or rather, not thoroughly.

Why, what did I miss?

Heh, I was wondering why a DRM version would be advertized like that.

Don't those coupons expire soon?

The game itself was 50% off during the winter sale.

5237d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

If there was a classic mode, then that's all I'd play. Definitely want.

"Stating one's opinion doesn't mean that they could do better or that their opinion isn't accurate."

Saying that someone 'sucks' is easy when there's commonly known examples that prove the point.

However, in this case, there aren't many (any?) games on the scale of Skyrim on consoles that aren't made by Bethesda.
So if you're going to call out Bethesda for sucking at coding, then who would you say is bette...

If Valve is going to touch the number '3', it has to do it with HalfLife.

Anything else would be sacrilegious.

They did a similar thing with BF3 pre-orders for a limited time.

You could pick either DeadSpace2, MassEffect2 or MoH when you pre-ordered BF3.
I managed to use a 25% off coupon, so I ended up getting BF3, B2K expansion and DeadSpace2 all for $45 (already had the other games)
