disagree, bubbles down, and ignore. all done here.
i'm basing this purely off of what i read, but there are, apparently only 4 or 5 360 games that get praised *CONSTANTLY:
1. Gears of War
2. Bioshock
3. Mass Effect
4. Halo 3
everything else that is praised on the 360 is multi-platform
1. Rock Band
2. Call of Duty 4
i guess i'm just not understanding why people say the 360 has "better" games than the Playstation 3.
from my perspecti...
the cutscenes are all *IN GAME, so that's a funny statement to me. lol.
it's hard to believe that the sequel to Uncharted will look better than the first, but the history of consoles have shown this to *ALWAYS be true, as developers learn new tricks and ways to optimize the hardware.
if one year into the Playstation 3's lifecycle, we're getting games like Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank Future, and Uncharted, i can't imagine what the end of *THIS year will hold...
you know what's even *COOLER than having a life and a girlfriend?
having a life and girlfriend (fiance in my case) who is *ALSO into porn!
yeah, that rocks so hard.
contrary to popular belief, not everyone who loves a little bit o' the porn is single and living in their parent's basement. adult entertainment is very helpful in adding some fun to a relationship (of course i *WORK in the adult entertainment industry, so you'd expect me to have a litt...
in response to your question about how Insomniac can release such high quality games every year is simple.
each of their games have a 2 year development cycle, and they release them on alternate years:
2006 - Resistance: Fall of Man
2007 - Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
2008 - Resistance 2 (released 2 years after part one)
2009 - Ratchet and Clank Future 2 (released 2 years after part one)
the games all have two...
i'm just really disappointed with gaming "coverage" as of late.
for more evidence of the ridiculous bias of the gaming media, take a look at the endgadget coverage of the Sony and Microsoft CES Press Conferences.
the Sony one is laced with sarcasm and smarm, with very little actual *REPORTING of what was being said and shown, while the Microsoft press conference is full of praise and adoration, for Bill Gates, for the products on display. they even have...
the speed of UT3 is carried over *VERY well. some folks (usually those that have *NEVER played the Playstation 3 version of UT3), have made a big deal about the 20% speed reduction for UT3 on the PS3, but i have *BOTH the PC and PS3 version, and the speed difference, while there, is not as great.
the game is very fast paced and frantic, and the Speed Freak mutator is *NUTS, but still incredibly playable on the PS3 with a controller, and mouse and keyboard.
i pla...
fanboy ravaged and biased the gaming media has become over the past two years, i don't *CARE if an editor quits or not.
maybe we'll finally get some journalists who know how to be *OBJECTIVE, instead of hopping on whatever convenient bandwagon rolls by (ie, the current, and absolute *@SSKISSING going on with the Playstation 3 lately. for the past *TWO YEARS, it's been Sony and Playstation 3 hate, now, thanks to that whole Warner Bros. move, media everywhere has been talking up ...
when i got my HDTV, the *FIRST FRICKING THING I DID, was spend about 30 minutes or so *TWEAKING the goddamn settings on the thing so my Playstation 3 would look it's best.
before that, i tweaked the hell out of the Playstation 3 *ITSELF, for the same reasons.
no wonder my version of games like Assassin's Creed didn't look like the video comparison these retards made. i actually *WANT my Playstation 3 games to look their best. unlike the idiots at game trailers.

is an in game web browser.
that way, UT3 PS3 players don't have to keep quitting out of the game and going to ut3mod.com, download the mod to the hard drive, quit the web browser, boot up UT3, and install the mod.
an in game web browser would be *IDEAL, until they develop a system of installing more than one mod at a time.
other than that, this is *AWESOME!
i've already downloaded, at *LEAST, 30 pieces of additional content, from new...
i know what you mean about the no loading times.
the game doesn't even *CACHE to the hard drive and it has *NO LOADING TIMES! what the hell kind of satanic deal did Naughty Dog strike with the gaming devils to get *THAT to work out??
someone needs to hook Bioware up with a meeting with Naughty Dog, so they can show them how to stream from a disc and eliminate loading times (Mass Effect would have been *SOOO much better had there been little, or better yet, *NO lo...
that's how damn good it is.
First time playthrough: 9 hours and 29 minutes
Second time playthrough: 8 hours and 29 minutes (was getting treasures)
Third time playthrough: 5 hours or so (getting the rest of the treasures)
Fourth time playthrough: about 5 hours, beating it on hard.
i'm currently playing through on "Crushing" which is truly crushing (after two shots, you're in the gray; three shots, and your dead, and that's just with ...
"So that leaves the PlayStation 3. I will be the first to admit that the first year or so for the PS3 has been less than stellar. In fact, it’s been freaking awful in every conceivable way. But, with 2008 now here it appears Sony may finally be getting some games for the big black paperweight. Uncharted and Unreal Tournament III are amazing titles, and with games like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Gran Turismo 5 due in 2008, in addition to the cross-platformers like Deus Ex 3 and GTA IV, I real...
they also said that one of the titles will be in the same vein as Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.
that fact alone was enough for me to run out and purchase a Playstation 3 then and there.
whatever their other game is is just a tasty, tasty bonus. Ico and Shadow are two of my favorite games of all times. i didn't think i'd love Shadow of the Colossus more than Ico; i wasn't sure they could strike with that lighting twice, and yet i *DO love Shadow more, but it's ...
no fricking sh*t dude!
i've been playing video games since 1985 and the NES. i was *FIVE years old.
over the past 23+ years of my gaming life, i have seen the rise and fall of *COUNTLESS gaming consoles.
i have seen games go from one color blips and bloops, to fully 3D character models that look damn near indistinguishable from real life.
i know that technology never ceases to improve, but releasing new hardware after *FOUR YEARS??
...
a few questions:
what the frick do *SALES have to do with my own personal enjoyment of a video game?
let me elaborate:
when i'm playing Uncharted Drake's Fortune, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank, etc, on my consoles, what do the fact that they are best-sellers or not have to do with *ANYTHING??
i buy games because i like them, not because they are "best-sellers."
Enter the Matrix was ...
is that gamers will stick with the console that *DOESN'T abandon them after a few years.
personally, if i had bought an X Box 360 back in 2005, and suddenly Microsoft said, "Hey, X Box 360 fans, do you want Fable 3? do you want Halo 4? do you want Mass Effect 2 and 3? do you want Bioshock 3? then get the *NEXT X Box console, cuz the 360 ain't gettin' sh*t no more!"
well, i'd be a little *PISSED.
i bought an X Box after being harassed by f...
end of story.
that isn't to say that the 360 *WON'T have some good games to play, but this list is *WEAK, and most games are multi-platform.
i mean, wasn't that the big bashing point for the PS3 *LAST YEAR, that most of the good games worth playing on it were multi-platform?
if you are a sole Playstation 3 owner, you get to enjoy
multi-platform:
Devil May Cry 4
Burnout Paradise
Battlefield: Bad Company

the Playstation 3 has only been out a *YEAR.
when the Playstation 2 launched, the first year of games were on CD's despite the fact that Sony touted DVD as being beneficial to games.
it wasn't until Metal Gear Solid 2 and Grand Theft Auto 3 released near the end of that first year, that games started appearing on DVDs more often. by the end of it's 2nd year or so, DVDs had become the standard medium in which games were presented, with a few exceptions (the first ...
late this year.
unfortunately, i don't think us English speaking nations will get it until sometime in mid 2009.
good thing Playstation 3 games aren't region coded, so for the truly hardcore FF fan, you can always *IMPORT it.
considering that my plate for software this year is rather full (i'll spare listing my must have list for now), i don't mind too much. there are, at *LEAST, 15 games hitting the PS3 this year that are exclusive that i plan on ...
