Especially the "shiny tech" argument where fanboys count pixels instead of giving a shit about the game's story or characters. The fact that in one breath people can piss all over Avatar for "having no story and being only about the technology" and then douche a 360 game for being subHD is almost hilarious...
If it weren't for the fact that 90% of the people on N4G are these people.
Did you ever play Chaos Theory? One of the first true next-gen games.
SC was the first stealth game to use the controllable 3rd person camera, which for me changed everything. I'm a big MGS fan, but I wasn't thrilled by the gameplay until MGS4 when it finally got a controllable 3rd person camera.
I love MGS but lately it's been pushing my limits in terms of cutscene length and verbal diarrhea. Minus cutscenes, I completed MGS4 in 8 hours. And my f...
But I was definitely able to stealth some of those Conviction levels without ever being seen. Sure, it was put on a diet (I like the way he says "fast stealth") but the core design is still there.
IMO Snake plays looser than Sam, but that's just me. Maybe it's the controller.
Don't know if it's really a game, but that was pretty cool.
I think Natal is going to initially be a let-down. Like the 360, like the PS3, it's not going to astound right out of the box. Developers will need time to discover the best ways of integrating the human body. I think completely removing the current controller config is a very bad idea as I've always believed Natal's greatest strength is the way it can augment rather than replace. But we'll se...
Let them be pissed. You're just doing your job. It would have been wholly irresponsible to sell to a kid that young without parental consent. The fact that the mother didn't appreciate that is worrying to say the least.
I don't understand how your comment could possibly get disagrees.
Then again, this is N4G.
It seems the people who really care about HD are the PS3 camp because - hey, look at their exclusives. They're all HD so the fanboys feel like this entitles them to bragging rites. Most 360 gamers are fine with subHD because - hey, most or their games run at subHD.
It's less about the 360 boys saying subHD is bad and more about taunting the PS3 crowd. If the consoles were reversed, 360 gamers would probably be obsessed with HD and PS3 gamers would claim that it's ...
Maybe the reason why Sony fanboys are so harsh on the 360's subHD resolutions is because they really want to see the xbox do well. Most people who own a 360 are perfectly content with how its games look. But secretly, people who claim to hate the 360 only hate it because they think it can do so much better.
Of course, I'm just being sarcastic.
It is interesting that every story about Natal is swarming with anti-MS/pro-Sony comments.
It matters a whole lot less what you're shooting on than what you're actually shooting. There are many factors that contribute to a great photograph:
subject
lenses
lighting
color palette
camera placement
movement within the frame
inner framing & composition
and on and on and on
You could give the greatest camera in the world to a complete idiot and you'd get complete garbage. Or you coul...
Thank you Eamon for illustrating my point beautifully. Enjoy your endless slaughter of digital people.
Go on....
Bubble, sir.
And somewhere toward the middle it started to lose me. Can't put my finger on why but the ending definitely left me wanting more.
As for the atmosphere, it was indeed top-notch. Haven't played it with surround phones, but I can attest to the awesome experience on a solid surround system. I'm rocking a THX 6.1 system and with the volume cranked it's incredible. The dynamic range is phenomenal.
One section in particular scared the shit out of ...
I'm surprised and disappointed...
Not by MS or this game, but by the narrow-mindedness of some these comments. From fanboy trolling to puritanical disgust, some of you are missing the larger picture. Ignore the anime influence, ignore that it's MS, ignore the region issues. Can we address the adult nature of the game?
I'm really tired of games only being about violence. Granted, I love destroying shit as much as the next heathen, but aren't we...
You're such a mind-blower. That would be sick.
A lot of devs have said how difficult this idea is to actually implement. It changes the nature of certain objectives. If you're goal is to reach a building at the end of the block but a stray frag collapses the entrance to the building, then you're shit out of luck.
Pretty please.
Yeah! You get games like Arkham Asylum and Red Dead Redemption. Wait...oh, I just contradicted you.
What was the point of that comment?
