oh...and I didn't disagree with it. Actually, I find it quite funny for people to get so worked up over someone that is obviously trying to push their buttons. People will search the far reaches of the internet for some obscure website that supports their opinion. When, in all reality, the fanboy (of any type) wins by getting you all excited over nothing. Now, on the other hand, I do find it annoying when a fanboy enters an interesting debate and ruins it with ignorant comments. But, that...
couldn't have said it better myself...but I was gonna try! *LOL*
that I didn't really miss the career mode for GT PSP. I know, it would have been better with one. But, for the way I play my PSP (on the go) the current play style works great. It's like bite-sized portions of GT excellence. I am also addicted to the collection aspect as well.
I have read it. I have thought about it. I can see some really important points. The first being that the shareholders have NOT been happy for a while with the games division. Sure, the console is selling well and game sell well...but does that recoup the losses that the division has seen from excessive R&D on products that have not met expectations. Billions were spent to get into the industry. More was spent to develop the 360. What about HD DVD? That must have cost some money. Of cours...
I don't think that he was talking about doing a hip hop version as in putting gold teeth and bling everywhere. I think he was more going for the gritty, urban, street vibe that hip hop once embodied. If that was the case, then it might have been and interesting twist (no pun) on the series. As is, I and still highly intrigued by what Jaffe and crew have to offer.
should be able to stand on it's own merits. It shouldn't be forced to implement multiplayer just because it is the newest "must-have" bulletpoint. This usually causes the entire game to become mediocre. There are certain games that scream for multiplayer, as it makes perfect sense. However, there are others that really don't need anything more than a solid campaign to make them great. The fear is, as with all things media driven, that somehow not having multiplayer will ...
like saying icing on the cake for him. He'll still walk away with over $90 million in ad revenues alone. That's not even talking about his on the course earnings. Which, while they aren't as stellar as prior years, he is still placing in the top 25. That's guaranteed $5-$10 million a tourney...probably more for the majors. He's gonna do just fine.
Devs are people too. They have their own opinions and perspectives that color those comments. With all of the competition and pressure in the industry, it is no surprise that a little trash talking goes on. Sure, one might say that they should remain ABOVE all of that. I say...they are HUMAN...there is only so much one can take before they feel like they have to voice their opinions. Some devs have even become more endearing to their fans because of it. (notice the Jaffe references above) I&#...
There is a reason for why the ally AI in KZ2 was off. It is because they literally had to dumb it down. In the first code that they wrote, the ally AI was so good that the player didn't really get a chance to feel like the center of the fight. The ally AI would clear rooms before the player could really get kills. So, GG simply used the coding for the ally bots in the online multiplayer of KZ2.
Sure, they have gone back and fixed some nagging issues. Run blocking can be changed a bit to make sense. The locomotion seems to have sped things up a bit. The play selection is much like the ask the coach, but it actually offers more than one play. The presentation has been upped the most. But, it still has the legacy issues that EA football fans will recognize from the beginning. WR's that run into each other on crossing and slant routes, pro tak (while minimized) still bugs me (runnin...
BUT I will say that it is the most original fighting game that I played in a LONG time. The combo system was insane and pretty deep for the time. I can remember carrying copies of printed combos into the arcade (did i just date myself) to try to get my game up. Man...those were good times. I miss arcades. Although, I guess now I might seem a bit pedo-ish to show up in one wanting to play a game...oh well...I still have my memories! *LOL*
they seem to be trying, but they just keep falling short. Plus, what's up with removing features and then bringing them back later as NEW? I hate that about the Madden team. It's clear that they need competition. That will push them to really innovate and not sell football in pieces...this year running....next year blocking...next year defense...etc. By the way...I AM a fan of the game. I am just critical of it because I want a GREAT football game again.
You do realize that this is not of their own volition or doing right? Have you studied history...especially in Africa? If you did, then you would truly know the damage that has been done on that continent. You are correct in saying that you are selfish. But, you should probably add in arrogant, presumptuous, and naive. Especially if you think that you will just continue to live this utopian nirvana. One day you will need help. I just sincerely hope that those that are asked to help you can be...
Once people find that thing to believe in, they have this sense of superiority. Unfortunately, it is often fostered by the church. Spiritual materialism is charismatically sold in churches all over the country and the world in general. Religion should be like crack. You don't have to advertise it because those that are in true need will seek it out (not the addiction part).
I am not against religion, but I am against following the words of one man just because they seem to be &qu...
So very true. History provides great perspective on religion. Do more research into the origin stories of various religious deities and you will find more similarities than differences. How many of them were killed or died and then resurrected? How many were claimed to be born on Dec. 25? Even the miracles are very similar. I am not saying not to believe in something, just don't fall for everything because of an extremely charismatic person tells you to. Educate yourself, think for yourse...
Not saying that it is horrible...it's just really a roster update. There are no new features to sell itself. I still love the game, but that is my one complaint.
How does "Boo Fucking hoo dude, go play something else then." imply that he is forcing Twisted Metal on anybody? It's seems more like an affirmation that one singular opinion on the internet is not enough to phase him or sway the general opinion about the franchise. It's succinct and true...if you don't like it...why comment...just go play something else. Pretty simple to me.
Demand for one console is directly tied to the other!?!? Sure, the consoles pull from a pool of "gamers". However, for each gamer there is a specific need that they need addressed. It could be exclusives, motion control, online play, HD connectivity, etc. Either way, the cross over is not so much that a huge drop in demand would be displayed because of the other. More likely than not, a person that was interested in a PS3 slim either settled for an older SKU, or simply chose to wait...
Controversy trumps originality almost always. Tabloid mentality and sensationalism is what people migrate towards. How else can you explain the popularity of Maury, Jerry Springer, Reality TV, TMZ, etc? For the average person, everything has to be entertainment. What's more entertaining than controversy? Problem is that often the controversy is contrived and the story is empty. But, people walk away feeling that they got some entertainment from the controversy alone. It's sad, but we ...
Sports teams are as big of a brand as anything else. Have you ever seen an American Football forum? What about the original football (soccer)?
I have NEVER, EVER seen a riot in the streets because one metacritic score beats another. However, I have been in the middle of a street brawl between some Barcelona fans and some Real Madrid fans. I've seen two gearheads come to blows over which car has better specs. I've seen kids get shot and killed over what street they are from. No...
