It's hard to be impressed with something if you show up with the predisposition of hating it from the get-go.
It's like asking a KKK member to go to speech by Obama and start loving him immediately.
Or maybe... just maybe, they anticipated the demand and produced enough copies to keep from selling out day one.
Give it time, the demand will find that supply and it too will be sold. Stop celebrating, and wait for the NPD #'s.
Since I only play singleplayer (typically), 8 hours is a bit on the short side. However, since everyone's raving about how fun it is, I think I'll have to try it out.
You're making a mountain out of a molehill, Idle. I've got a family and a more than full-time job, and if I can install a game before playing, I'm sure you can too. I just think that like most people in society, you're just looking for something to gripe about.
How about planning ahead? Start the install before you're ready to play the game, and then come back to it when you have the time.
Not a difficult notion to execute, eh?
So let it. Good sales numbers are good for the entire gaming community as a whole because it will drive the developers to create more new IPs.
Ohnoes! The phantom disagrees are out to get me!!!
C'mon folks, how lame can you be? Have a conversation with me, I won't bite, promise!
Instead of clicking a button, you could have explained to me why I should be excited for this game. C'mon. Don't you guys want to enlighten another gamer to a game that he should play? Or do you just honestly have NO IDEA what this game is about and are pinning hopes and dreams on a lack of any real info?
Man all these comments and only a handful about the topic at hand. Quick bickering like schoolgirls and join the conversatoin! Alright, now that that is over with...
While I don't like games being overtly hyped, this type of "hush hush, don't tell anyone anything about the game" is just as bad as offender as games such as KZ2, GTA4, etc. Spill some real info about the game, and make me care a little about when it's coming out. The way it's going, this game will co...
What's next? Restricting sales of books with "dangerous ideas that may invoke unstable thoughts" about how poorly managed/governed California is?
Glad they denied this one. Law of probability: even being a complete screwup, they can manage to get something right once in a while.
My wife manages a GameStop and she told me last night they pulled the SKU for taking preorders. I'm afraid to say if you haven't preordered by now, it's likely you won't be able to. Hope you can find a store that can still take one. ;)
Sorry for being an ass. I have no right to do so, since God knows I'm prone to making the same errors.
My apologies, and I'll try to be more polite when pointing out errors.
Way to fail at posting a story summary. You didn't pay much attention to the test on how to contribute, did you?
I laughed pretty hard at pages 2 and 3. Good article! :D
Point taken, and agreed. A pistol should be a weapon that handles quickly, and I did find the way it handled very odd in the game... I was thinking it must have been a damn heavy revolver in the demo. :D
Hey, I'm not disagreeing that you're having a problem with either hardware (possible) or coding (likely). That sucks, and I hope you can play it without the lag, because it's a fun game and the weighted effect makes you think about smart manipulation of your weapon and how you move from target to target to engage the enemy.
I just wanted to clarify the two different issues that seem to be at hand here. One is the fault of GG, the other is an intentional game design feature im...
Lag = high latency while data is passed. This is a hardware issue, unless the coding is causing the system to go "durrrr" after it's received the input.
Slower joystick acceleration = weight. This simulates what happens in real life with weapons. A lot of you can't speak from experience on this, I can. A loaded assault rifle that weighs 8+lbs is NOT going to just stop moving in the blink of an eye because you stopped pushing it in the direction you wanted to aim. ...
I can't believe this is still going on. It's pathetic. I don't care who started it, I think all parties involved need to knock it off and spend their lives being productive.
In other words, get a job you lazy, smelly hippies!
Since getting the PS3 I have also played less and less of my 360, and I've been buying just about every multiplat for the PS3 instead of 360.
Why? I dunno, I'd rather play games on the PS3, I guess. No real good reason, other than being tired of the ham-fisted way Microsoft is killing the open game's market by buying multiplatform titles out from under the PS3.
A game system should live or die based on what the gamers want, not what a company manipulates.
I'm sorry Mr. Musician. I should not be allowed to play and enjoy a music game because I lack the natural talent to play a real instrument. I will put away my toy and be miserable like you, now.
I don't know what's worse: exclusives, or feature-incomplete versions of a title being made and then locked down due to dubious business agreements...
Get used to it. Phantom disagrees abound here. These cowards won't even rationalize why they disagree with you. They just click the button and feel like they've "won" somehow.
