Tactical spending means minimal investment for maximal return. Sony has done that to some degree but far from genius they are.
One huge mistake they make commercially is pouring $20m into a project and spend a fraction of that amount on marketing. Although for me as a gamer, a polished, high-budget game is preferred to a mediocre game with massive ad campaigns, but for Sony as a company, this isn't the wisest approach.
Take a look at this article to know what I m...
He makes a few factual errors in his article:
- Sony's been the most successful company in generating hype for its games this generation but it's not because they are geniuses; but rather the quality of the games the money and teams they dedicate to each game they create and/or fund.
One has to realize that the internet crowd is just a fraction of the total consumers that buy games and gadgets. Look at Bayonetta for example, it had hype and was acclaimed by the r...
Also, slots hardly qualify as "video games".
Should I read it or not? I'm getting the game.
Sure people have different opinions but their opinions do not hold the same weight and they are not equal. If a person is of the opinion that Hitler had done better things than, say, Bill Clinton, then he's a retard, a jerk, or a retarded jerk. Likewise, people who claim that they know about gaming and expect people to take their time (and spend money) and read their writings and "opinions" and claim objectivity and still give Bayonetta a higher score are not just retarded, they are...
It's a ripoff. I am currently a Qore subscriber and the guys behind it *cough* Future *cough* don't know jack about gaming and what gamers want.
I'm a huge Sony fan, but I think Qore and OPMs are retarded ways to reach the fans. Official means from the company itself; Sony should have its own guys on the magazines and Qore and only leave the technical part of publishing to another publisher.
I assume by exclusive downloadable content they mean "High Velocity...
Exactly callahan09, I have been saying that all along. Shadow of Destiny (or Memories, in some areas) did it first. It didn't have any fights or stuff like that, just one engaging adventure with many choices that could result in a total of 8 different endings. Indigo came after it but became more popular. Indeed, I also think that Heavy Rain and Shadow of Destiny are more similar than SoD and Indigo.
*Spoliler* It had its moments like when you could scare aways some grannies in...
I will definitely buy the DLCs. Resident Evil 5, despite the heavy (and often unwarranted) criticism, remains as one of the solid games of this gen.
I'd like to see Fox report this. After all, isn't this more useful to the public than knowing there is a potential sex scene in Mass Effect?
Nintendo doesn't really care that much about their "Green Rating" as long as they make money. A few years back they had a rating of 0, the only electronics company with that rating.
Good to see them pretending to care.
MAG?
Bayonetta may be a good game, but it's not on the same level as GTA4. You could argue that GTA4 wasn't as good as was expected by some, but it's still one of the top games of this gen. It's not as casual friendly as the previous GTA titles, but the sheer amount of detail, excellent storyline, deep characters, superb voice acting, detailed environments, diverse soundtrack, and the ridiculously detailed radio stations, TV channels, and internet websites together render this game unparalleled to...
Seriously guys:
- shallow story (no story would have been better)
- mediocre music
- mediocre voice acting
- overused gameplay
- super noob-friendly
- heavy reliance on sex appeal
- design fail (disproportioante body)
- plagiarism (using Sarah Palin's face without permission)
- stupid dialogs
I can think of only one explanation as to why this game gets so much praise (besides most reviewers being idiots): th...
Not unless all you are playing is "You're in the Movies" with Mrs. Woods, your best friend's granny.
For a guy who was born and raised in the US, he should at least proof-read his article: biased instead of bias, dominant instead of dominate. Correct grammar would be appreciated too.
This is mostly the experience of a person who doesn't really know much about gaming and the industry in general.
It's already a well-known fact that the Japanese gaming industry is lagging in the HD arena and this can be (partially) attributed to the success of Nintendo (cheap handh...
I dislike SE, but FF8 is just a superb game that deserves every single sale it gets. It's just a shame that Wada makes money off it. I miss Squaresoft. :(
As for LBP, it deserves to be in the top 10 till the end of this generation.
I wouldn't mind it if it's going to be a decent platformer. There's a severe lack of good platforming games this generation compared to the the PS1/2 era. But I doubt it will be better than any other game based on cartoons/movies.
Who doesn't love Heathcliff?
Although Warhawk isn't nearly as active as it should be (since it's an excellent online game), there are still hundreds playing online at any given time. In my experience, there are more people online at certain times. You are right though, most of the active official servers are European (UK, IT, and DE). You know people can host games too.
Warhawk is dirt cheap on PSN now and I don't think people will lose money if they buy it even now, provided they can enjoy it for a few we...
I don't like the idea of having to wear glasses to watch TV, it just doesn't seem appropriate for a cutting-edge tech.
Another problem is that people have just started adopting HDTVs (most of which aren't 3D ready), which took way longer than it should have in the first place. I think the majority bought HDTVs so that they don't have to change their sets for another decade.
Egde is pure retardation.
It's the first time in my life that I am not eagerly anticipating a Final Fantasy title but I am certain this game merits a score much higher than just 5.
Some people say the clowns at Edge are biased. Well, it is obvious, but bias alone can't explain their behavior. It's pure intellectual retardation mixed with a plethora of personality disorders that can offer a valid explanation for their despicable ideas and opinions.
