What really? I never had a problem with the explosives in MW2 apart from noobtubing(nubetube? or noobtoob?).
All the problems people mention can be solved in a different way. Personally I hate it in games when you have explosives that do next to no damage...c'mon people, a real grenade will blow you to tiny little pieces.
I think in such games it makes more sense to make explosives quite powerfull but less usable: not picking up grenades from scaven...
No, you can barely even call them riots. They're just random acts of looting and property damage. Thank God no one has died in all this so far.
@Scissor_runner
I love your insinuation at the end that gamers are "real men" because only they have strength of character to reach level 50 ;)
"One girl always talks to be when I post things game related on facebook, for example it's the Skyrim trailer..."Omg I'M SO EXCITED" etc but yet she has had an 360 since it's came out and she has 4-6 games...not even achieving 1000 gamer score, and this is the girl who is always excited about nearly every game trailer I post or talk about, the girl hasn't even played on Oblivion yet I bet she would lie and say she's played it on someone elses computer to cou...
Though you put up a good arguement against motion controls, you failed miserbaly by suggesting it was Microsoft that "brainwashed" Americans into believing Motion controls was the future when we all know (except for you, apparentely) that Nintendo kicked it off. Fanboyism at it's best...
lol, he never said he's looking forward to MW3 :p
I don't think anyone really has the right to say Rage is anymore original than any modern warfare based game. Post-apocayptic/western and modern warfare have both been done to death.
I agree with the article. The game is being over hyped and from what I've seen it looks pretty bog standard. Time well tell. I know ID invented FPS, they're legends, yadayadayada, but if anything that only adds more to the hype.
Because the develoepers over hype it, same thing they're doing with Rage. I can understand why they need to hype, it's marketing, and marketing=sales and the developers need to at least break even. But don't make claims about your game if you can't back it up. Bioshock is a good example: brilliant game, but did absolutly NOTHING they claimed it was going to do (enemies with a persistant eco-system...pfft, yeah right).
@The_Claw
Thank God he didn't use his nuke. lol. Sorry. Had to be said.
@DrakBlack
Yes but sadly atheists tend not think to think that way. Religion promotes killings = God is evil to them :(
Becuase it's the 360 that matters right? Why not have the extra content for the PS3 and have the cut version for 360?
Are they not confident they would re-coup the extra cost of making that extra content for the PS3? Probably...
Unlike fanboys like you, normal gamers buy a wide variety of first party and third party games. So to say 360 owners have nothing else to look forward to is flat out stupidity.
The games I will be getting between now and the end of the year is Deus Ex 3, Gears 3, maybe BF3, maybe MW3, Skyrim and Halo CEA. 2 exclusives and the rest are 3rd party. Why? Because they are games I like. I'm not going to buy Forza 2 because I have no interest, even though it's an exclus...
Gosh, sounds like Mr Levine is only just coming close to realising we don't want a "good" metre to show the impact of our choices in games.
I'm guessing the only reason devs came up with the metre is because the focus testers didn't "get" that they were making "choices" that could impact the game. So you had to make it a little clearer to them...am I right Ken?
If you truly had a system were player choices impact the...
YEEEAH! GOLF!!!! eeeeehh.....
EDIT: heck, imagine if they actually built a real full scale golf course to play it on as well! Think of how real THAT would be...
Nintendo came up with the D-pad, analogue sticks, force feedback, and the first portable game console to use touch screen. In fact, I might be mistaken but I believe the gameboy itself was the first portable gaming machine.
MS aren't nearly as innovative, but they did make the first console with a built in hard drive, and regardless of what you say about Kinect's marketing, it's far more innovative then the Move. In terms of online gaming, they added the univers...
Yeeeeeeeeaaah...right...
I don't know FF13 was in that list. It imight be a good looking game but that screenshot certainly didn't do it justice.
@ Biggest: You can use a decent pair of headphones though. Some might argue that would sound better than surround sound too.
Either way, I wouldn't play a game like BF3 on a mobile, but the point is that sometime in the future smartphones will be able to. They can already run PS emulators :D albeit crapply.
The "we have more exclusives" arguement is the latest one concocted by Sony fanboys to convince themselves the PS3 is better than Sony. When MS get's more exclusives than Sony, the arguement is going to switch to "it's all about quality, not quantity" you wait and see ;)
OK SLLCKGT here's how it works...
Preorder for game is 10,000 units.
Day one sales is 100,000 units.
So for every one pre-order, you get 10 units sold in-store.
Now the publisher knows that if a game has 50,000 pre-orders it will sell roughly 50,000 x 10 = 500,000 units. It won't sell exactly that amount, it's a approximation based on statistics. The word they have for it is "estimate". Like it or not, publisher...
JUGGERNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUTS!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
