All the hype of the MGS4 release (and awesome game), and we seemly forgot all about a huge issue that plagued another legion of fans: That whole GTA4 freezing issue. Maybe they finally fixed THAT and want to get that patch out NOW.
Or maybe they found a security hole or some issues with games locking when they shouldn't.
What I'm saying is that if this is true, don't think this does anything to 2.4! Remember, there ARE some issues that, when found, must be fixed AS...
It's NOT that it got an 8. It's his reasons FOR marking it down that got the controversy. As I said in another article, if you are going to be in the minority, you BETTER have a DAMN good reason for it. No one said it's not okay for the game to have an 8 in a few of the reviews (even thought SO many people STRONGLY disagree with them), Chris Buffa reached and reached, seemly like he was LOOKING for something to mark off for. He failed to mention any new things about this installment, compared...
He gave the game an 8. As I have said, no one should confuse that with a 2. It's far from a bad score. And no, no one IS equating that as being an awful score in ANY way. We may disagree and say that MGS4 deserved more praise than that (and in my honest and humble opinion, it does, the graphics and way it pulls you into its complex story makes you want to play more to see what happens, carefully balancing out cinema time and gameplay time), but opinions are opinions. No one can ever please ev...
Even though I knew of the events in the game...
YOU MAY WANT TO PUT A F'N SPOILER WARNING NEXT TIME!!!
Not everyone has even PLAYED the game yet, much less got to those parts.
...don't belong. SE has gotten low scores on games before. You're only listing Kojima because this guy said he did, and Buffa HAS to be right, correct? "Polyphony Digital"? So, wait, what game have they made besides Gran Turismo, for one? I could go on.
And...yet to took time out of your "busy" schedule to comment on how WE have no lives?
It's not that these guys have no right to their own opinion. Even the highly touted Gamepro review said that the game had its faults (that were overlookable from their perspective), so it's not like that was the issue.
The issue is that the reviewers that have this ax to grind, this hidden agenda against the PS3 for whatever reason. Anyone who has been saying there was no conspiracy against MGS4 and the PS3 has not been visiting Kotaku.com in recent months.
All of yo...
...it MIGHT help if you take your caps lock off. It makes you look THAT less of a dumbass.
...you never fail to make something into a MS vs. Sony affair, do you?
You also seem to always fail to see that the fanboy rants you bring to each story is not the same thing as what is being argued.
Either that or you really had nothing else to defend MS with.
"Strange... you guys are saying I have my facts wrong... but I failed to see where you provide links to sources that prove that what I said was wrong"
And...you DO?
"are you saying that the xbox 360 does not have a larger installbase in the US and the UK?"
No one said it didn't. You got the reason behind the disagrees all wrong. They're disagreeing to that because, by install base logic alone that YOU'RE trying to shove down throats h...
How you got ANY disagrees for that is beyond me.
...go read the article again, it doesn't.
The 5 enemies it lists:
5 - Barnacle (Half Life series): Mostly 360 only since Valve won't get off its lazy asses and learn some PS3 code. That would be too much exercise than Gabe Newell is used to (I never get tired of making Gabe Newell fat jokes, especially when he deserves it).
4 - Geth Hoppers (Mass Effect): a 360/PC only game
3 - Professor Pester (Viva Pinata): 360 only
2 - The Flood (Halo seri...
I know you can see why you have so many ignores. You not only have your logic and facts completely backwards, but you have your lips firmly planted on Bill Gates' ass so much they will have to be surgically removed.
By YOUR failed logic, we should have every single exclusive game be for the 360 only while the PS3 never gets any kind of savior whatsoever, regardless of anyone's wishes or what hardware specs are on said systems. By that alone, that is completely backwards, and scr...
...remember that SE is giving ALL platforms exclusives (as I've said before), and unless MS paid $50 million or some other ridiculous amount, you will see that PS3 release of these games be wide open.
If nothing else, the backlash from PS3 fans may make them think twice. SE is one to listen to outcries from dissatisfied fans (look at how much FFXI has improved in recent years from fan input. They wanted more endgame activities, some action on gilsellers, cheaters, and RMTs, and t...
And you're really throwing that "I'm not a fanboy, I'm not a fanboy" blanket on yourself as if anyone is going to be fooled. If you enjoy one console over another, fine. That's fine, but don't try to act all activist and say you're going to boycott games just because they're made for a platform you don't like. We can see right past it (remember, us gamers aren't stupid).
By the way, you haven't read anything about the Bioshock PS3 port, have you?
...I'm sure that if I saw anything like the above on your site, you would've been included. No site should be clear of getting any criticisms at all. As much as game blogging sites try to keep the companies on the up and up, they have to be careful not to impose a double standard or bash one system or its games over another just to gain hits or to make buzz.
That's where I think the gaming public has to keep the bloggers on the up and up. If you made a mistake and they know it, t...
Remember that SE has given ALL systems exclusives (Final Fantasy III for the DS, Crystal Chronicles as WiiWare, Crisis Core for the PSP, I can go on). Simply put, I just think we're all reading a bit too much into it. SE was not like 2K Games in saying that there was no way any of those games were going to make it to another system and then turning around and doing that anyway (they basically left the door open with their explanation). No one is dumping anyone here. SE is just doing what it h...
Pot, meet kettle.
One that will do that AND THEN SOME will hit on June 12th.
Spoken by someone who has lost his way around this site alot more times than most of us can count.
Seriously, I wonder if some of you on the lunatic fringe of the 360 fans think that the rules apply to everyone else but you. You seem to just go around and slam everyone who dares use that type of language on you (you know, shove the site's rules down their throats), yet, when you guys go and do the same thing, it's within bounds.
What was that called again, where it's...
