Sony and Samsung's LCD sets made in the same factory? (to save production costs for both companies)
anyway, i have a 40" 720p LCD Samsung, and i absolutely *LOVE it.
what's even nicer about it (or maybe ironic), is the PS3's design matches my Samsung more than it would have if i had gone with the Sony! (the Samsung has the same shiny black finish as the PS3, whereas the Sony set i was eyeing was that glass/clear finish).
i can't imagine how i ...
egging on the trolls, but that was pretty damn funny, X Box 360 Will.
meet "ignore button," "ignore button" meet dangerstepp!
you *COMPLETELY misread what he said:
"Throw in the decision to completely remove sword fighting again in chapter three (of six, one of which is simply a boss fight), replaced by some over-egged archery, then cripple it later still with some pretty but soulless silliness, and it adds up to maybe three to four hours of decent combat in a game which takes a rather embarrassing, and distinctly un-epic, six or seven hours to beat."
what he's saying, is that...
you guys are putting too much credence on the *FINAL SCORE.
it's the *BODY of the review that holds the most important information, and from the body of this guy's review, the game isn't a 7/10 game. more like an 8.5/10, or even higher.
it simply depends on your *OWN PERSONAL OPINION.
i don't see how the gameplay can get 6/10 when he praises the deep combat system, counter system, and that's the *MAIN CRUX of the game! at the least, it seems like ...
but this is coming from a country that is obsessed with *SINGSTAR and *BUZZ. i find it hard to take their criticism's seriously.
i kid, really.
as for the 7/10 review? *shrugs*. that's their opinion. *MY personal experiences with Heavenly Sword, from E3 2006, and the demo released some weeks back has cemented this game as a day one purchase. period.
what i don't get from this review, is that his closing remarks are *CLEARLY at odds with the final r...
so you're saying i'm *NOT the most smartest and handsomest guy in the world?
mama *LIED to me?
that *B*TCH!
the dragons *AREN'T reskinned X Wings?
damn, i was hoping for some "lock S Foils in attack positions" moments for my dragon...
anyway, i've pegged Lair as a 7.5-8 game since i first heard about it, as, well, it's dragons, and, um, that's about it. and really, that's about all i need to check it out.
EGM were being nitpicky turds, and it's being proven everyday.
i think, what it really is, is that game journalists are still ...
i'm 28, a huge Blu Ray supporter, and i *LOVED Transformers.
at least they didn't completely bastardize my childhood memories (like a certain Dolph Lungren/Masters of the Universe flick; and i *WAS a child when that came out! still sucked!)
the fact of the matter, is that Transformers was cool sh*t, and now it's not coming to Blu Ray.
outside of the Spider-Man Trilogy, i was really, *REALLY looking forward to seeing those big robots in HD.
...
your argument, while it makes sense on the surface, isn't entirely true.
for example; i played Ninja Gaiden on the X Box waaaaayy before i played Sigma on the PS3.
i was used to the X Box way of controlling the game.
however, when i played it on the PS3, i actually enjoyed the controls *BETTER.
the truth of the matter, is that the 360 and X Box controllers just aren't very ergonomic, in general.
i think the 360 control...
some of you HD dissenters aren't in business.
the truth of the matter, is that HD is set to replace SD. and *SOON.
the price of HDTVs are dropping significantly.
the average size of a person's television set, is probably around 26-32 inches.
you can get a 26-32 inch HDTV for less than $600 these days.
and that's *BEFORE sales, haggling, and price drops, which we've yet to encounter for this holiday season.
how one little hiccup, and the media's ensuing blowing it out of proportion, and the game suddenly looses *MASSIVE support.
i remember when *ANY Assassin's Creed story would get massive posts here on N4G. you guys are so damn fickle.
*THAT'S my problem with trade shows like E3. developers and publishers are forced to make a decision that could, ultimately, hurt the game.
Assassin's Creed is being made by Ubisoft Montreal, who are no slouch to makin...
did you just exclaim, "SWEAT?"
i kid, i kid (i do that all the time with "sweet.")
i think Haze will do well, simply because it's a shooter.
personally, i'm sick of shooters, but i'm curious about Haze.
i prefer games like Heavenly Sword, Ratchet, Folklore, and Uncharted, you know, third person adventure games.
i'd probably be more interested in Haze if i could switch to a 3rd person view (too much ...
welcome to my ignore list, larry!
and i'm a big Playstation fan, but i'm ashamed to have you associated with our fan pool.
@snoop;
Shadow of the Colossus ended up on the PS2's Greatest Hits line by it's first year out. the criteria for such is to sell, at the *LEAST 500,000 units. so Shadow of the Colossus is actually quite the hit.
as for Bioshock...well, from my own personal experiences, i can't find the damn game on the PC at *AN...
they're sadly mistaken if they think i'm spending *ANYMORE money on their movies, HD or DVD.
when Transformers comes out, i'm going to download, quite illegally, the torrent, burn it to a DVD, and enjoy it that way.
this move was boneheaded on Paramounts part. they were doing fine with the format neutral stance, pleasing both sides of the camp (HD DVD get their movies, Blu Ray gets their movies).
i'm no longer supporting the company, period. neithe...
i love the Castlevania series, and am really looking forward to trying out Rondo of Blood for the first time. day one purchase for certain, and i may even upgrade my PSP firmware (unless i buy the PSP Slim beforehand).
i have to say that the aiming is smooth as silk.
i think there's even a sort of lock on assist also. i think it can be turned on and off though.
great post. bubbles for you, and for Caligamer (also a great post).
*edit*: more about the topic, i think this probably wouldn't have been such a big deal if *SO MANY Warhawk Beta testers hadn't played the game and stated how much fun it was.
don't you think that the opinion of your fellow g...
so, if Sony *DOESN'T rip off Achievements, they get sh*t on for not having Achievements.
but if they *DO come up with a concept similar to Achievements, they get sh*t on for "copying."
i mean, you can't have it *BOTH ways fanboys.
now, if Home becomes a success, MS will be *FORCED to offer a similar alternative for the X Box 360, and, i just *KNOW that overzealous Sony fanboys will ream them for it.
my advice: *DON'T.
6 Blu Ray movies, and plan to own more in the future.
i haven't bought a DVD since i got my HDTV.
while i don't plan on rebuying all of my DVD collection in Blu Ray, movies that i'd really like to see in HD (ie, Spider-Man, X-Men, Jurassic Park), i'll purchase in Blu Ray.
new movies have my interest in HD. catalog titles, depending on if i have them or not, i can wait on (though the Die Hard Trilogy is sounding rather nice; i don't own it on DVD; g...
i have to say that the fault lies entirely in the media, and even yourself a bit, for falling for the hype.
the truth is, things get *HYPED too much, and when they fail to deliver on the hype even one iota, they get trashed for it.
for example. Fable was hyped to no end my Lionhead, MS, and everybody else. i bought into that hype, and bought an X Box *JUST to play Fable.
the game didn't come *CLOSE to living up to the hype. i was *FURIOUS in that i...
