A way to watch TV on my TV!
@peeps: Totally agree. Barring a PSP2 which would be obvious win, the PSP vs iPod Touch debate comes down to what you want the device for... The PSP blows away my smartphone(s) for games whereas anything involving internet/communications or as a music player, the Smartphone/touch wins. Hopefully a PSP2 would PWN in both areas.
BFBC2 pwns my soul it is so awesome, so anything that will keep people interested in it and playing is much appreciated, but, really, calling these things "map packs" is a bit of a stretch.
Only if Jordan cojntinues to rock his "Hitler mustache" from the recent Hane's commercials.
Priceless.
Sometimes it's okay to stick with the forumula and refine it... I think if they add just a *little* variety it'll spice it up but still get the magical mix of KZ2. I definitely think KZ2's Single player was a nice high standard and the MP was sweet... loved the bots, too.
But I also think it can be overdone. I felt Gears 2 crossed the line a bit... the worm level and some other stuff just felt like it was put in for critics rather than gamers.
Got to second base.
Normally, I'd agree with you guys since most reviews are BS. But if Justin says it's total crap, it is. He's a really forgiving reviewer... and, really, this game looks like sh*t, so if the gameplay is not there it's a trainwreck.
I love the concept and it's in my GameFly queue to rent, so I will still give it a look but after this review I'm not counting on hitting that "keep" button.
Demo the PC version first. Virtually any PC has the specs to run it. Doom's awesome but pretty long in the tooth at this point.
Should be able to pick it for a $20 dollar bill about a month after release!
The game is virtually dead anyway... Unless you play sabotage mode at prime times during (US EST preferred) or are willing to sit in a queue waiting to play for 10-15 minutes at a time.
The player numbers for the "acquisition" mode make it unusable at any time of day, actually, I've seen queues with *0* players in all PMCs and domination is only a little better.
Sabotage is the only viable game mode and that is like a simplified BFBC2 Rush mod...
"they Nfl could look at this and give them a license too because its what"
No, not if it's not allowed by the contract. That's the whole point of writing a contract between two parties, it says what each one is willing/allowed to do in the agreement. Until that contract is up, EA "owns" the NFL on consoles.
It does not matter, no one will buy a football game without real NFL teams and rosters.
The EA Madden/NFL exclusivity is criminally unfair to consumers.
So I'll probably pick it up to play with my kids. Making your own mods, cars, and tracks will probably be 80% of our time in the game, anyway...
But, really, I'm not a racing game guy... I've never really understood their appeal... If I want to drive fast, I'll just get in my car and do it. :) Racing games never, ever, feel right to me. The cars never seem to behave like a real car.
Really, Motorstorm is probably my fave racing game of all tim...
LOL. I recently discovered this too. Deep down in my heart I'm an assault player but I didn't have hardly anything unlocked for the Recon but my assault/engineer classes were maxed out. I was really frustrated because my ADD and impatient aim will simply not let me be a good sniper, so I hated recon.
When I got the red dot and Type 88 semi auto rifle (like the second sniper rifle) all that changed. I just play recon like an assault guy in a wookie suit. I use the 1911...
Sony needs to control pricing and quality on these things. All minis should be under $5 and they should bounce stuff that outright blows.
What about the 3D Graphics Processor? Or the existing software library and PSN infrastructure? Or the analog stick/buttons? Are you really this clueless?
That you were able to give your child something fun to do to take her mind off the fact that she is growing up in a trailer park.
So they're "terrible" people? And all this time I never knew... (cries)....
Huh? What birthday? 42nd! :)
What's wrong with tightie whities? Or Michelob for that matter? Who you guys looking at?
