how can anyone argue though? Halo 3 is the biggest selling exclusive on the PS3 or 360 - and by a HUGE margin too, might i add - and has been in the top 5 most played games on Live since the day it came out 3 years ago, still averaging more than 700 000 unique players PER DAY.
to say that its highly anticipated is a gross understatement. most anticipated game of the year is barely adequate. when you have thousands of people rushing out to preorder the $200 special edition, i...
read the posts from us people who actually live in australia before simply believing we pay twice the amount you do for no reason.
if something costs you $1 in the US and you get paid $5 an hour, its costing me essentially the same price as you if i buy it for $2 and get paid $10 an hour.
twice the amount ON PAPER, but the same price when you take all other factors into the equation.
read what i said.
"its very frustrating to kill someone with a shotgun headshot, only to then drop dead myself from a shot by them 1 second later, when the only reason they got that shot at me was because the server hadnt yet told their console that i killed them first"
im not saying that all of their bullets should just disappear as soon as they die. im saying that AFTER they die, any bullets that they fired WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD BECAUSE ...
anyone who complains about people being abusive/whinging/complaining on Live just needs to do something about it. mute them, send them bad feedback, file a complaint, and youre done. now matchmaking will NOT match you with them EVER again (it makes anyone you submit a negative review against an 'avoided player'), they will lose rep, and can get banned for a few days/weeks/forever.
and to people saying PSN is more mature....lol. just because noone hurls abuse around do...
the main thing they need to sort out (apart from the input lag obviously) is stopping the 'both players in a shootout die' situation from happening. its a simple client side hit detection feature - if person A kills the person B at time x, any bullets fired after time x by person B do not register as hits on player A.
a dead person cant shoot a gun. its very frustrating to kill someone with a shotgun headshot, only to then drop dead myself from a shot by them 1 secon...
i cant use remote play while im using my PS3 though lol. youre missing the whole reason i want PSN stuff on the PSP!
i want to be logged in to BOTH my PSP and PS3 at the same time, using the PSP as a mini-PSN centre, ie be able to send game invites/messages/friend requests from the PSP, while playing on the PS3.
yes, well worth it for most of them.
Limbo is one of the best games this generation, and its an absolute steal at $15. last year we had Shadow Complex and Trials HD, 2 of the best games of the year, at $15.
of course there will be people who say theyre not worth it. those same people will never actually have the opportunity to even buy them though, if you get my drift, so their opinion is worthless.
borders.
or alternatively, im quite happy to bust out the old 51cm Wega.
good article, for once.
if you want to play multiplayer, Move is more expensive. then depending on the games, it can get even more expensive (requiring 2 main controllers for each player).
if you just want to play 'hardcore' games with the best control scheme possible, neither are for you.
if you want to play games in a way thats never been possible before, get Kinect.
if you want to play regular ps3 games with motion...
why Sony havent done full PSN integration with the PSP XMB yet is beyond me. why cant i view my friends list, send messages etc? that way i could have it next to me while playing PS3 and be able to see what people are doing without having to interrupt my game.
woah woah woah......if they released a MK Kompilation then i would want them in their original form, 100% unaltered. i dont want 720p updated graphics, i dont want it upped to 60fps - i want it exactly the way it was, as it was perfect back then.
MK Trilogy is still one of my all time favourite games, and altering it in any way would be blasphemy. give me MK, MK2, MK3, Ultimate MK3, and MK Trilogy, all untouched and left 'as is' on a single disc and itll be my game of...
@sikbeta:
wow, you really have no idea. so ignorant its not funny.
1. "the device can track only 2 full bodies and 4 "secondary players", that alone is a [Restriction], the device can't track 3 bodies completely (leave alone 4 players), so there will be no game that will use "full body movements" and games will be based only hands-waggling"
wtf? stop making things up. read what i said. the SOFTWARE - ie games...
you cant just compare US prices to AUS prices.
I live in australia, and have travelled to america for decent lengths a few times, and while yes, everything is cheaper in america, people over there dont get paid as much as we do on average here in australia, so it kinda evens out. i mean, when i was working at mcdonalds back in the day while at uni and 18 years old, i was earning $17 an hour as a casual making hamburgers. whats the minimum wage in the US, $5/hour?
i want them to make it more than a 100% linear generic shooter. multiple platforming paths, varied firefights, better AI, get a different story that isnt just a rehash of the first and second (like the second was of the first).
but they wont do that. theyll cater to the fanboys and just do exactly the same as the first and second did - pre-scripted flashy events, witty dialogue by Nate, linear platforming, generic shootouts, poor AI, no replay value. and the fanboys will lap ...
"The problem at the moment is, that there are two key things wrong with kinect
a) Lag, the tech simply doesn't work properly. It's fine for the casual games, but completely incompotent for hardcore games.
b) No hardcore games. "
a) the tech works. it doesnt matter if it doesnt offer the precision needed for "hardcore games" because ITS NOT MADE FOR HARDCORE GAMES!
b) see point a.
Kinect i...
" so if the family consist of 4 persons -> 2 parents + 2 kids, the maths screw you up cos kinect works with 2 players per device, so that's $300 for the whole family... "
could you be any more dumb? you CANNOT use 2 kinects at the same time.
currently Kinect can have 2 'active' players - meaning 2 full body controls - and up to 4 secondary players at once. the people who made the Kinect camera have specifically said that theres no HA...
mate youre wrong in nearly every conceivable way lol.
Sony and Microsoft rely on software sales. selling 30 million consoles means nothing if you dont sell even more games, because Sony LOST money for every console they sold up until VERY recently. they sell hardware at a loss, hoping that software sales will make up the difference and then give them profit on top.
3rd party developers did NOT ask Sony to delay socom lol. Zipper/Sony delayed Socom. was it bec...
there already is a 24 game - Splinter Cell Conviction.
you guys should try it. oh wait, its not on PS3 so most of you cant.
"They have been preaching how easy Move is to implement."
gee i wonder why.....could it be because Zipper is 100% owned by a little company who you could say has a bit of a preference for Move? a little company called Sony?
obviously never even played Forza lol.
bumpers, sideskirts, mirrors, and spoilers can and do fall of in Forza. hardly just 'scratch the paint and light dents'.
