wasn't the full quote: "strategy games are just not contemporary to consoles" ?
@phoenix
I doubt-if blizzard were to port SC2 to consoles-that they would dumb it down, they would just make it impossible to control. They could use a keyboard and mouse on ps3 I guess, but I don't think people would play it like that.
I'm glad it finally came out on PS3 and that I was finally was able to play it. I don't think it lives up to all the praising it gets; it's good, just not good enough for all the awards it got. I didn't finish it yet though, I may change my mind. the controls just don't feel tight.
what else would they push? It's too early for "ultra-HD", and people don't care what king of technology their TV uses (LED, OLED)
at the same time it slightly pushes piracy back, because of the idea that you would get a better/different experience going to the movie or buying the blu-ray.
in the video game realm it's mostly Sony that's pushing 3D, other companies do it, so they can have 3D written on the box.
I love de graphic style, but a bunch of stitched together QTE for boss fights? no thanks
yeah, I'm pretty sure it's him. He's freaking out on this game lol, he indirectly said it plays better than halo O_O, unfortunately I have no faith whatsoever in what he says. I'll wait and see for myself.
I don't know when it happened but this game shot up to the top of my most anticipated games, just behind skyrim.
"reminds me of red faction guirella with some tower defense elements.." that sounds awesome and not generic to me lol.
wow, I had to scroll down quite a bit before reading the first comment that actually isn't flaming anything, makes sense, and is on topic.
thanks for that gray-fox.
I was thinking the same thing, battlefield is a really pretty everyday shooter. that tank demo was boring! It's nice to see that not all people go crazy when they see pretty graphics
Lol, WTF is this article talking about?!?
this was taken out of an interview with IGN and takes the quote completely out of context.
This is what is in the article: “you wave your arms around to mine and use items”.
the full quote from the IGN interview:
"I'm trying very hard to make sure we have a setting you can turn on that turns the game into what everyone is joking about; you wave your arms around to mine and use items. It's ...
i guess that the impressive part comes from the fact that he aimed, normally distant tomahawks are more or less random
notch will keep adding features to the game after release normally, i don't think you have any interest in not playing the game until release.
also, I like having a new feature every now and then
somehow, even before the "for science!" line, it made me think of portal
same for me, I think I'm at about 5 fights from the last boss, but the fights get so long at the end, also I never liked FF endings, when things get all crazy paranormal hallucination like.
Am I the only one that didn't dislike FF13 because of the linearity? I actually didn't mind it. I didn't like that it was too dumb down; the only stats you had were HP, strength and magic :/ the combat weren't very strategic when you had understood it, and there hardly...
I bought it last week and I love it, it's an old-school side scrolling shooter, with added elements of upgrading characters and some in-game subtleties. It's really difficult but you quickly get used to it and you really feel like you're getting better at it.
It was a bit expensive at 15$, but I would absolutely recommend it for 7$, if you're up for the challenge and have a buddy for local coop.
I would agree that the aim system is sluggish, I play sniper and very often I can't get kills because my crosshair can't catch up with my opponent, it's very annoying. on the plane i.e. when the truck we are on is slowing down to get behind the plane, if you are looking down the sights your reticle is going at the same speed as the truck, it gets completely impossible to aim, and this is at max sensitivity.
but calling this a rental because of the multiplayer beta...
I hope so to. It looks like they corrected some of the AI problems already, they aren't omniscient anymore, and you could lose line of sight. Stealth was impossible in farcry 2, opponents would see you from miles away
weren't they supposed to be showing gameplay footage from the top players in uncharted TV? I am quite disappointed by it, I originally thought it was a good idea.
a lot of people don't don't care about the story, including me- I just play skirmishes ad eternam lol. I haven't loved HOMM as much since HOMM3 but I'm still looking forward to dive back into the addictive gameplay.
@DrFUD
it's an unlock key, you don't need to download the 15gigs twice. It's been on the european store since launch and cheaper than at retail, I hope more games go this route.
do people really download full games for a 60 minute try out? seems like a waste of time
I guess mac specs are more or less the same? or has it been canceled?
