Lol, looks like the 360 fanboys have jumped me. I was actually referring more to the 360 vs the older Xbox. I seriously doubt even the most rabid Xbox fanboy will disagree that the old Xbox was more reliable than the 360. So how does all that new high tech hardware improve longevity again?
Too many people licking Apple's crack. They put out too much junk with no actual purpose other than to be the latest fashion accessory and the sheeple buy it up like it's a narcotic. Apple can go screw. I don't have an ipod, I don't have an iphone, I don't have a Mac, hell, I don't even use Quicktime on my PC anymore. People need to stop paying so much money for useless junk. I think Tyler Durden was right...
And how in the hell does this qualify as "News For Gamers&qu...
"The Xbox lasted four years. We’re going to see its successor outlast it significantly for a number of different reasons, the first of which being improved hardware"
Uh, what?!?
Probably just a case of where the bribe they took stipulated that they give it a certain score but didn't mention what they had to say about it, lol.
A cliffhanger ending is where a story that has you caring about what happens to the characters ends in a way that leaves you in suspense of what may happen to them next. MW2 does not have a cliffhanger ending simply because the story did not fill out the characters enough for anyone to care about them, the story made huge leaps and bounds in logic that no rational person can comprehend, and then ended with no more explanation about what the hell was going on than the rest of the story. It's...
Thankfully someone finally had the balls to write this up. While yes, I do agree that most people bought MW2 for the multiplayer, following CoD4's singleplayer story with this load of crap is just insulting. Infinity Ward should have just left the single player out of the game entirely and made it all multiplayer and charged everyone $20 less for the game. I suppose that doesn't sync very well with Activision's "rape them for all their money" policies so the only option was to ha...
BC2 needs work. Which is good since it's just a beta, but there are a few big issues that need attention. I like how in the last part of the article the guy says "I just wish..." twice. That's sort of the feeling that the BC2 Beta left me with. The controls need a bit of work as once you get the sensitivity set for using a weapon scoped, you are too sluggish to turn and fight anyone when not scoped. Movement in general seems very rough and feels very uncertain. Also it seems y...
Eh, this is just another idiot "journalist" who thinks he can stir up some BS buy putting down some of the most legendary games in history. He completely blows off the fact that these games were popular when they were released because they were something amazing and different compared to what was out at the time. Most of these games were revolutionary to a certain extent. To bash them because he is a lazy gamer who doesn't like dialog or because the graphics that looked fine when...
I'm right there with you. Every time I try to play in the late afternoon or during the day I end up with someone from the UK or somewhere else and it lags to me ridiculously. I have nothing against players who are not from the US like me, but it's very hard to deal with meeting someone and firing off most of a clip into a guy and then die, only to watch the deathcam show you firing 3 or 4 shots into the wall before you die. Infinity Ward failed with this matchmaking BS on more than just th...
While I personally believe no one is truly "innocent" and bad things happen to good people I think the depiction of a premeditated terrorist act against civilians was a bit much. I agree with the gentleman that it was used as a shock tactic and that the whole level was unnecessary. The very fact that you are given to option to skip it proves that the story didn't need it or maybe IW figured there were so many planet sized holes in the story that one more wouldn't make much differe...
I am glad to see Sony finally stepping it up with the marketing campaign this holiday season. Lets hope they keep pushing the momentum forward into the next year and not just for the holidays. Even the 360 fanboys should be happy with the competition since it will trickle down to them getting better games and services as well if Sony starts eating up more of the market. Competition is a good thing for everyone.
On the ads themselves, the "Rumor" ad was awesome but I ...
Actually if you watch some of the many documentaries on the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, freestyling is quite popular and pretty common with the soldiers. Check out YouTube, there are tons of videos out there of soldiers showing off their talents and I have to admit, even being a Metal guy, some of them are very good. I don't know that any would be freestyling during a firefight as most of the soldiers I know get pretty serious and are all business once the action starts but it wouldn't sur...
Well, I have to say myself that I really don't care for Rap or Hip-Hop or whatever it's called these days, but I fully understand it's popularity with a lot of people, regardless of race or culture. Anyway, I my self am a 35 year old white male, raised in the mountains of Virginia, surrounded by Country music. So naturally I detest Country and much prefer Metal to the point that I have been a guitarist for 22 years and even played drums for a few years. I prefer Metal and no, I outgrew the...
Foolishness.
Counseling is a joke. The kid needs better parents and probably a good healthy ass whipping. All this liberal BS about not whipping kids has spawned a whole generation of worthless, selfish, spoiled kids who can't behave to save their lives. All the "positive reinforcement" BS just teaches kids that all they need to do to get what they want is misbehave and then their parents will "bribe" them with whatever they want. All my son's friends are like that and their parent...
It was actually posted on the "official" Playstation forum. Oddly enough, I don't think that particular individual has been back on the forum since so he probably got demoted to janitor or canned.
Agreed, I knew that but for some reason I typed month instead of year. that's what I get for not proofreading. Thanks for the correction.
Foolishness.
The PS3 has BluRay, the 360 has DVD and at one time had a HD DVD add on. The PS3 has wifi built in, the 360 has it as an add on. The Ps3 has ergonomic controllers and not some bizarre controller with disjointed joysticks made for freaks with one hand larger than the other. The PSN is free while XBL charges $50 a month, possibly more in the future. And above all, the PS3 is simply a better quality machine with a much lower failure rate than the 360. What kind of "value" is a bro...
Confrontation was a kick in the face to all traditional SOCOM players. Slant6 made a decent effort but they took away the overall feel of the SOCOM series and left it feeling like a 3rd person version of CoD, which ironically has recently come into being. Zipper needs to focus on what made SOCOM and SOCOM 2 so great and update it for this generation and give us more of it. SOCOM is too good of a series to let it die on the floor while some 3rd rate developer like Slant 6 tries to give it C...
