I guess adding duel welding and matchmaking in the second is nothing.
Adding forge, theater, equipment in the third one is nothing
And adding jet packs, and classes along with crazy customization and game modes is nothing.
All while adding new weapons and vehicles and other things to tweak gameplay for the better.
Anyways... what im trying to get at is that you would know these things if you played the Halo se...
Three amazing games scoring three amazing scores.
I fail to see a bias.
Ive played it as well but I can see where not everyone will enjoy the game. It comes down to having friends and playing the levels that arent crap.
Its a great game that i will be buying but you have to understand that not every single person will see it as a 9.5
@blumatt
That doesnt mean that every sequel should get better scores just because it adds content.
If thats the case.. then we would be up to about 10's for every single game that comes out.
The thing is.. just because a game adds ton of content doesnt make it a better experience. Some believe the first Halo is the best when that has the least amount of content in it.
To say that someones opinion is invalid because it d...
If you already know what scores a game should get.. why even bother looking at reviews?
@Focker
Almost every game interprets something differently. I wouldnt call that game creativity though.
And although Motorstorm to execute it a little better. the idea is close to Split-Second and Full Auto.
Little Big Planet: Yes. The second one is building on that innovation. Giving players the opportunity to BE innovative.
For the most part.. I believe the best games have at least something they can point at and say that ...
@GWAVE
Owning all three, I can safely say that each console has its share of Creative games and unimaginative games.
It's easy to open your eyes every once in a while.
On-topic: Very good article. Probably one of the better ones of lately.
So your saying that im right?
I own all three so its kinda pointless for me to care about exclusivity. I just like to enjoy all e the games on the systems.
And to say that the 360 doesnt have its fair share of games is just childish. It's all about preferences and to be honest i bought more games in my 360 this year than ps3.
PS3: GOW3, 3D dot heroes, GT5
360: ME2, Halo Reach, Alan Wake, Fable 3
Wii: Mario Galaxy 2
I agree but was it necessary to say "its a PS3 exclusive!"
I guess this is N4G where exclusives make or break a game. The only people that care about exclusivity are the fanboys (or single system owners)
The govt makes too much money off cigarettes for them to really care.
"Guns dont kill people. I kill people... with guns"
Ehh. I can kinda see somewhat of the same art design but the actual gameplay is not similar at all.
Check out Borderlands though when you get a chance. Play with friends though and try to be about the same level.
Im actually playing that game now. Great game. Even though it has the whole MMO mission design.
But.. this looks nothing like Borderlands (gameplay wise)
Because some people prefer gameplay over graphics!
ZING!
(WARNING: cannot back up this comment because i have played neither games BUT have both preordered)
EDIT: @below: exactly. so do the smart thing and play both.
I kinda enjoy the ads though. It reminds me of things coming out like DLC and stuff. And lets me know if there are any deals.
I sorta agree and disagree. I agree with it being pretty simple but some things take me a little while to do some digging to find it. (Still relatively new to it)
But I cant stand the store layout. Maybe its just me but i like the layout of the Xbox Marketplace more than the store.
Really? Not gonna buy it because the 360 version gets an invitation to a beta?!!?
People every year say that. But the 360 gets enough love every year. I say that each system is about even when it comes to good exclusives.
Maybe its just me.
This year I got:
PS3: GOW3, GT5
360: Halo: Reach, Fable 3, Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake
As for next year.. I see more on the PS3 as of now. But that could change.
I bought my PS3 for the exclusives. But overall I play more games on my 360. It'...
Oh dont even get Started on that!
Look at all the numbers in successful Sony, Nintendo, Sega franchises.
There is gonna be 3 Uncharted's and Resistances in the same time as there was 3 Gears of Wars. Which is great.
But dont get on MS because everyone does it.
I know 2011 is full of great games (LPB2, Killzone 3, Uncharted 3, Gears of War 3, Forza 4, ect..), But this is looking to be my GOTY.
Oblivion is still one of my favorite games of this generation.
