Say what you will about Crysis 2, this engine's lighting is some of the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous I've ever seen. Not to mention the painstaking detail that went into recreating the Titanic. Outstanding job.
Yeah, a lot of this is attributed to the Hardened Edition of the game. The features of Elite aren't really what CoD players want, it's the paid-off DLC.
I might replay the campaign when the patch drops. It's one thing I felt about the game that was holding me back from having the most fun. The slider is an ingenious way to satisfy both parties.
Alright. I can already see you're about as humourless as GTAIV, so I'll give you a few of my problems with the game.
Other than the fact that Roman calls you too often, the game makes you feel as if you're doing wrong by him if you don't go out. Why make the player feel bad for not taking their side-missions?
The cover mechanics, as well as shooting feels both sluggish and unrefined, hence the reason why Rockstar have still fallen back on a gr...
Roman called,
he said something about driving an annoyingly lengthy distance to perform mundane activities.
I can't really remember the rest because I hung that phone up, pulled out the disc, replaced it with Saints Row 3 and destroyed cars with a giant purple dildo.
A Search & Destroy Ace isn't an easy achievement, especially if you choose to play knife only, but goddamn, those were some terrible opponents. It was like the Christmas Kiddy rush.
None of these were particularly impressive. Cross-map stuff happens pretty often and the players that generally go for crap like that aren't helping the team at all. Maybe if you're leading a domination game by over 70 points, but the community ruins the game far more often.
Most gamers are hypocritical morons for this very reason. You get thousands of people dragging Call of Duty scores down because the series has wronged them. Gamespot gives Skyward Sword a 7.5 and THAT'S perceived as doing something wrong.
The article is pretty logical in its message. It says "gamers are impressionable and childlike in their response to big game scores" in the most polite imaginable way.
Metacritic should remove user reviews like...
Pretty much. I can't stand Greg Miller. I'd barely consider him a journalist. Uncharted 3 was great but Uncharted 2 was still the better title.
Nailed it. Trick-shotters and QSing kids ruin the community and objective game modes. There are great players out there who can truly play for the teamm, it's just an amazing amount of morons giving the game a bad name.
It's all about map knowledge and movement. I'm not suggesting that I don't get killed by snipers from time to time, you just have to treat them differently. You put one bullet into them and it makes them flinch. You use the Stalker perk to strafe around shots quicker. Flank them at close quarters to kill them. You have a variety of options.
You can even fight fire with fire if you're good enough. Sometimes I'll drop shot snipers to annoy them with that ab...
Quick-scoping is blown so far out of proportion. Any decent player in a gun-on-gun situation can beat someone with a sniper. I myself can't quick-scope very well and generally stay away from snipers anyway. The spawn system needs to be fixed before any sniper is. It won't change simply because it's inherent to the engine. Like bunny-hopping in CS.
Any problems I had with the intial trailer were just quashed.
This looks totally badass.
Those animations are insane. Full 360 degree prone movement? You may have my money.
So you haven't even played the game to completion? Arkham City has problems, but it improves upon AA in plenty of ways. It expands the mythology whilst bringing a multitude of different play styles to the table.
Uncharted 3 has technical proficiency over Uncharted 2. That's all.
Also, it's an opinion for Christ's sake. I don't care if you think Uncharted 3 is better than those games, all power to you. I'm not up in arms about it. I'...
They pretty much lost me at the banana slip sound effect. I think there is enjoyment to be had at a campy Batman movie, but Joel Schumacher's Batman never struck the right tone for me.
Well, I guess I'll take the flak.
Uncharted 3 was certainly solid, but I don't really think it deserves Game of the Year either.
Uncharted 2 was such a massive leap over the first game, and it was always going to be a monolithic task trying to top it. It was a near perfect title in every facet. Uncharted 3 brought back bullet sponge enemy types and made them less fun to deal with, the story becomes rehashed towards the end of the game and difficulty s...
Batman Forever isn't as awful as Batman and Robin, but they had a bunch of better choices, that's for sure.
All the disagrees without replies vindicate my argument completely. No one here can actually refute my comment. Well done N4G, you've truly proved yourself.
Ken Levine is a straight-up boss. He's the kind of designer that doesn't need to say "do as I do", people just do what he does on the basis that it's consistently polished and engrossing.
Here's the cycle for you guys.
Website gives game a 7.5,
Still a legitimately decent score,
Fanboys up in arms about said score,
Aruge that it drags the metacritic score down as if it physically hurts them,
Tell the critic that he is wrong for having an OPINION,
Proceed to tell critic that it deserved "at least 8.5 or higher",
They haven't actually played th...
I work at EB Games in Australia and I can unequivocally confirm that we are NOT getting rid of used titles. It's basically our largest source of revenue and it would be ridiculous to just give up on it.
