What I see far too many people doing is touting sales figures without thinking about a normal situation or considering the background of the figures. The 360 hasn't really been as big a success as you all might think, the sales figures are around the same as the original Xbox.
So anyway people have been stating figures left, right and centre without thinking. A lot of the 360 owners (in fact most of them) had an Xbox, so it was a case of just getting the next version of the syste...
I've always wanted to see this is MP, loved it in SP.
They could make the PC version better I have to agree there.
However, I've always bought either PES or FIFA for the Playstation and that's how it will remain :)
Paying that much for a simple game is beyond belief. In the recession too... what are these people doing? Banking probably...
It's part of the British sense of humour to make fun of people. If you just make fun of something less obvious about the British you're actually more likely to make friends with those people than enemies.
I'm British and honestly the majority of the people here don't believe all Americans are fat lol. I guess when they're reaching for insults it's the first thing they grab at.
While obviously not wanting to offend anyone religious here I have never quite understood how a collection of books can form rules for the human race to abide by.
If you went back 2000 years with just a simple lighter you'd most probably be burned at the stake for magically making fire appear from a tin can, which shows how easily people back then would believe 'miracles'.
Times change, we know a lot more about the world and how things work than we did then. Jesus wa...
Homosexuality has most probably been around since the dawn of the human race, had it not been for the early religious imprint that being gay was against 'God's will' we wouldn't be in the situation we're in now.
The way I see it, people are people and some people have different sexual preferences to others. It doesn't make them any less or more of a person than the next.
Maybe they break him out of prison to get him to work for them??
I understand where you're coming from with FPS's but it truly depends on what ones you choose to play. Old school FPS games are based on the frag-or-be-fragged premise with games like Doom, Quake and Unreal Tournament.
Modern FPS games now have some serious twists to the gameplay, the Battlefield games are a prime example of this. The capture and hold style of play allows players to not only go around guns blazing but also allows them to sneak around the map taking zones and earn...
...and just because some gamers are impatient and can't be bothered to learn new things doesn't mean the controls were bad either.
It swings both ways. Personally I thought it was a great idea to go for the motion controls with Lair. The problem is these days that if a game isn't a pick-up-and-play kinda game then people are put off way too easy.
The first game I used the motion controls for (and still do) was Warhawk. Tbh, I'd like to see matches in Warhawk where mo...
This whole thing is more about the future capability of the consoles, the 360 is reaching it's limit and the PS3 still has the space for a good few years before it reaches its peak.
What people forget about the PS3 is that the Cell is used not only for the graphics but also to process nice gameplay touches like the citizen memory from inFamous. When games are optimised for the Cell they cannot be made for the 360 because it can't handle it, there's no "Yeah but it might be a...
The PS3 came out a year after the 360, after about 6 months the technology improves a great deal so anyone waffling on about the 360 being as powerful is either too faithful to Microsoft to know what's happening or they just don't want to admit they should have waited.
Games that are optimised for the Cell will be far better in terms of what they can push through at any one time. inFamous for instance uses the cell to manage the population so they remember whether you saved them ...
Pleasing us isn't second it's the first rule really. Otherwise you have no customers to sell to in the first place. It doesn't matter if it's a development studio or a publisher they'll both look to put out something that appeals to the audience.
You wouldn't expect an FPS dev studio to go to EA and say, "Well this is kinda like COD4 really, a few bits are different, just put it out there and rake it in". I don't think they'd work for 3 or so years to just push somethin...
Why pay for DLC exclusivity when you can fund an awesome game like inFAMOUS?
Personally I'd rather have infamous than fallout 3 DLC...
Microsoft will market it that way. Unfortunately for them it's not true. In terms of the cash made Nintendo win, in terms of technology Sony win, not quite sure what Microsoft brought to the world with the 360 that was brand new other than online gaming but I've always had my PC for that.
Personally it depends what way you look at it. The Wii may have made loads of money but the games look like something made 10 years ago. The 360 had reliability issues sure, many of my friends h...
I had no idea what's going on with DLC anymore, I now just expect any DLC released on the 360 to eventually make it's way to the PS3 and vice versa.
I'm more interested in games than DLC, although I would like an expansion to Savage Moon please :)
I guess as soon as the DLC exclusivity deal is signed they can't even mention the possibility of it coming to the other console. Would tarnish the deal I suppose... It is annoying though.
I've experienced those bugs and more. I'll be playing inFAMOUS for a while I think, no time for DLC. It's getting more expensive too...
Well it's good to see E3 back on the ball with the gaming extravaganza we all expect from it, just a shame that leads to an inappropriate fanboy rant over the size of the booths when the majority of the gaming audience (i.e those more interested in games than who's booth section is bigger than the 'opposition') will be more intent on finding out what games will be on show at E3 this year.
I couldn't care less about how much floor space Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo have. It's all a...
Tekken Tag Tournament was one of the first games I bought for the PS2. I got Tekken 5 and then the online update when that was released for PS3 and now I'm looking forward to the 6th. Above all else the Campaign mode looks brilliant, it reminds me of the side-scroll-style mode in Tag Tournament. Playing that in co-op will be great fun.
Not too sure if I can afford to get it right away due to MW2 and a few others but I'll be getting this by the end of the year.
