no No NO! Not that game again. My brain still hasn't recovered from the last time I played it. Keep that game away from me!
Sure it can, but it takes a while to cut someone open with a rubber ball.
In some parts of the world? Yes.
This reminds me of that one guy that repurposed an n64 rumble pack into a tattoo gun... in prison.
Not everyone wants to play a hyper realistic game.
How about a driving game? A lot of people would prefer Blur or Need for Speed to GT5. They don't care about accurate physics. They would perfer the Ricky Bobby, "I wanna go fast".
I wouldn't want a realistic FPS. Do you really want to manage the bullets in your clips? No more reloading half a clip.
How about an movie in the rough form of an RPG? Nope, we all know what h...
@pogibaldy: It pisses me off how people rationalize games they want to like. Especially when it comes to a hyped game that needs to be a Messiah to something.
To be fair, the game design of KZ2's multiplayer was great. I loved the blend of different gametypes to mix things up and break up spawning influencing rushes to choke points. It was much more dynamic and more games should follow suit.
But the controls were, in fact, crap. GG patched it. Then ...
So, there is a giant conspiracy from multiple retailers, many of which are competitors to each other, to fabricate a shortage.
Right... you're nuts.
Because core gamers know where the buttons are. They don't need the colors.
In my opinion, the controller is excellent. Easily the best iteration of the 360 controller yet.
What a lot of people don't tell you about is the textured surface of the pad. It's not rubber "grippy", but it's got a nice feel. But the next texture on the sticks is like music to my thumbs. Most importantly, the d-pad is vastly improved.
Doesn't bother me. Doesn't bother the vast majority of people. Only seems to bother you.
You're looking to hate on something...
Same reason we show up in PS3 articles. The same reason there is a Mac/PC/Linux war. The same reason there is a Dodge/Ford/GMC truck war. The same reason Conglomerated Beer and craft brew nuts butt heads. The same reason there is a war about any consumer product category...
The need to take a smug asshole down a notch.
My top picks so far are Child of Eden, as a big Q fan, and Steel Battalion.
And for StanLee saying we are going off a cliff catering to casuals? Yes, we should be concerned, but in the long run, expanding the market will convert many of those casuals to cores.
At the same time, watch how some so-called casuals play Facebook games. There's nothing casual about it.
Now, we can either welcome new gamers or act like the bitter, contrarian, ...
Anyone else see the writing on the wall? Well, you will if you've played even the best Wii FPS.
Motion control in a FPS takes THREE separate axes of control: aiming, strafing, and turning. We still have only two, since you force the aiming and turning into the same control device.
It's unacceptable to have to wrangle your aim into the center of the screen every time you want to walk forward. And do you really expect to be able to go toe to toe wit...
mc-fine get's it right. I enjoyed KZ2 quite a bit, but the PS3 fanboys who needed another Messiah-game stuck to their blind faith rather than acknowledge the problems.
The game was PATCHED after people complained that all that post-processing effects to make it so beautiful added a control delay, and the players weren't buying the excuse it was "intentional heft". It was unacceptable.
And, the shooting was very loose. I'm sorry, it ju...
When I see games like Brain Age and Nintendogs sitting in a cardboard retail display next to the checkout, priced for an impulse purchase... I call that shovelware. Even if it sells by the shovel-load.
I'll cut the Wii Fits and Wii Sports from the list based on that, but everything else is cheap trash.
Is anyone contending that Link's Crossbow Training was shovelware? Wii Play? Nintendo does make trash games... with a Nintendo polish, but still tra...
"I thought this site was full of PS3 lovers"
So all you can do is preach to a choir?
As it pertains to motion, I'd prefer my motion peripherals stay out of my core games. I know, crazy, right? But I've played enough Wii games to know I'd rather just have a competent controller in the first place.
Long story short, Sony is realizing they can't afford to arrogantly ignore and revenue streams.
Wii Music
Wii Fit
Wii Fit Plus
Wii Sports
Wii Sports Resort
Nintendogs
Nintencats
Link's Crossbow Training
Wii Play
Brain Age
Ok, so maybe I stretched it a bit on sequels, but come on. That should add credit to the idea that Nintendo makes shovelware: they make sequels to shovelware.
I fail to see how core gamers got left out this year. OH, I can see how YOU see core gamers got left out... that's really simple: you hate Microsoft enough to squelch rationality.
This is 2011. We don't pay people to take advertisements away. That's how websites in the 90's tried to make money... poorly.
These days we recognize... some of us at least... that revenue for the big evil corporation means we get more of the games we like in return. Someone at Mazda thought it was worth it to spend $100,000 to put that super brief Mazda blurb on the 360 dashboard. I'm thinking Mazda is the loser in that deal... because most of us just ign...
Thank you for that, you narrow minded morons.
It's clear you haven't thought for a moment you might be dead wrong. You haven't challenged yourself to think, and in the place of that challenge, you've built a tremendous wall of bias around your beliefs which get continually reinforced with more bias.
Please stop poisoning the world with your half-witted rants against Microsoft and get over yourselves. You don't make purchasing decisions f...
