@FamilyGuy - Connecting to the Cerberus Network, you can download free dlc from day one, which is probably why they did it, so they can track how many people have the game.
@Oner - Don't bother getting worked up about it man. No matter how much proof you give, people always seem to think that "sold to consumer" and "shipped to retail" are the same. Even though the words are different, and therefore mean different things.
:D
@Vega - Old. Sony started reporting sold numbers in 2007. Yeah I read them, but I also remember seeing an area on Sony's Japanese website that clearly differentiated between Sold to retail and sol...
@cagney - Yes we've had that argument before, but people make it out as being impossible to calculate "sold" numbers ever, which is simply not true. Sony's decision to announce "sold to consumer" numbers rather than "shipped to retailers" numbers was widely reported by many many news sites when they announced it a few years ago. They even mentioned that this was a risky strategy, because it will mean that shareholders will truly be able to see how much consoles S...
@SaberEdge - How would they post if they didn't have a PC? I know you can do it from a PS3, but almost everyone has a PC now. If they can afford a PS3, they can afford a PC, you can get a very good PC cheaper than you could get a PS3 in fact.
Anyway, I have a good PC (9600GT, Quad-core), but I still got ME2 on 360, because I got the first one on 360 (cos it came out first) and carried the save over. Still, you guys always ignore the fact that there is something that exists called...
Most likely XBL and Modern Warfare 2 probably brought in quite a lot of royalties.
This is retarded, now it's a crime to like a game. inFAMOUS was awesome, I'd put it in my top 3 games this generation. All haters never played the game.
SuckerPunch are great devs, loved the sly games on PS2 and was a bit worried about inFAMOUS, but it turned out great. Only bad thing about it was that the graphics weren't up to par with other PS3 exclusives, but I'm sure that will be fixed in the sequel.
@1.2 - inFAMOUS is the only sandbox game in the GTA style that I enjoyed all the way through. I haven't liked anything else in the same style, RFG was ok, but I got bored of that pretty quickly too.
inFAMOUS is one of my favourite games this gen, can't wait until the sequel. Personally couldn't care less about this (because I had the 360 version of this, I've lost it somewhere), but I can see a few people being happy about this.
@1.20 - Wow that is the dumbest comment I've ever seen, well the first part of it.
I can see it shifting slightly more 360's, but I don't see it as a huge system seller. At the end of the day, this is still a game that doesn't appeal to everyone. Shooter fans may hate it due to the RPG aspect, RPG fans may hate it due to the shooting aspect. However, there's still a decent amount of people (I expect ~3 million lifetime sales) who will love it.
ME2 is fantastic, if anyone has a 360 or a PC that is capable of running it, definitely get it.
Definitely cheating. Cricket is not popular on N4G especially considering most users are from the US.
@sev - Yeah I expect a KZ3 trailer at E3, but release date will probably be February 2011.
A few things that could happen here:
1. They actually aren't going to bring it to the US.
2. They are lying like Sega because it's going to take so long.
3. Someone else is going to publish it instead of Namco, I'd guess Atlus or NISA.
Seems incredibly stupid not to bring it to the West after porting the whole game.
135MB isn't THAT big, the MAG beta update was over 2GB.
Michael McWhertor is such a twat, how can he not be excited for any game. This video alone gets me excited for GOW3 :D:
Multiple titles = not good titles. I just want 1 game for 360 from Japan, Lost Odyssey 2, couldn't really give a crap about any other stuff e.g. Magna carta, N3 etc. They're all sub-par imo.
Who the hell cares about this anymore? I hated GTA4, I didn't even get the DLC for the 360 version, why would anyone, apart from a handful of hardcore fans, even care about this pos?!
Damn you fanboys make me laugh, first it's "MGS4 is just a movie," then it's "Heavy Rain is just a movie." Now the devs just confirmed that Alan Wake is trying to be like a movie and everythings OK? Hypocrisy at its finest.
How about enjoying games as they are and not being a fanboy all the time? Oh wait, that makes too much sense, fanboys have no sense.
@1.6 - Yeah Sega are incredibly dumb. What they've basically done is, given reviewers a version of the game which takes a long time to load. Reviewers have given it a low score on PS3, and now they have released a patch. If they had just included this option from the get go, no one would have complained about loading, and most people wouldn't have complained about an install (you know, apart from people who don't actually have PS3s).
ANY self-respecting RPG fan will know that Mass Effect 2 is not the best RPG ever made. It's good, but no way is it the best. Best WRPG imo is still Deus Ex, and best JRPG is the FF series as a whole (can't choose one).
I always wanted to play Shenmue, but I didn't have a DC, if they release a new version, I'll definitely get it.
