I appreciate the female form as much as anyone and have the 'pictures' folder to prove it but we could stand to have more female characters that are not dressed like they're going to a beach party instead of a fight.
Anyone else feel like a kid stuck on a glass window at a toy store?
Sony seems to be hoping for about 20 million units by the end of the year, I believe that's reasonable considering their current rate.
"Indistinguishable" now means 'will be dissected by fanboys of both consoles and the websites trying to feed them until some minor and completely inconsequential difference is found that won't mean anything to 90% of the people who play the game'.
I've always held special hate for fights you can't win. If I can't win, then just do a cut scene of the bad guy beating my character(s) around for a minute and be done with it.
The console with the larger install base is selling more copies of a multi-platform title? Imagine that.
I think I'll stick with the PC version.
And here I thought I was one of the only people who thought FF7 was highly over rated, particularly when compared to previous FF games. What I always found amusing about the re-release of "Final Fantasy I", was that I remember when "Final Fantasy" was [i]it[/i] so there was no reason to add a "I".
I had played a metric ton of RPGs before I ever even touched a Playstation controller. After the 16 bit generation of Squaresoft games like FF"2"...
They're covering their own rears now and trying to blame Sony. I find it odd that this is the ONLY game with this issue if it's got something to do with Sony.
Sony left people out to dry with broken PS2? Really? Funny how I sent mine off to get it fixed for free. To this day I still have the stickers they put on the bloody thing stuck on my console.
So let's see...
"1) The console was fixed nearly a year ago."
And the problem you brought up with the Playstation 2 was fixed how long ago?
"2) Every owner gets a free fix if they do see a problem."
You could get a free...
That intro has been on Youtube for weeks.
After the Red Ring problem and public statements about how great Vista is, Microsoft has a problem with what somebody ELSE is doing in so far as "snowing the consumer and press"?
Pot and kettle are screaming for mercy right now over this hypocrisy.
You mean the lead that has been decreasing at an ever faster pace? You know, the 10 million unit mark that the PS3 reached 2 months faster and the 12 million unit mark that the PS3 reached 4-5 months faster?
What, now that GTAIV is out you are still making bold claims but just not using GTAIV as a proxy?
How about everyone buy the games they want and like and quit trying to make it a competition?
You mean the system with the larger install base in the United States is selling more copies of a multiplatform title in the United States? Stop the presses and alert the media, this is shocking news.
This game is not going to recreate the magic of Street Fighter II no matter how much they try to bill it as a 3D Street Fighter 2 with some new characters added.
And the new characters were pointless. They deliberately go out of their way to avoid Alpha and SF3 which had plenty of good characters to select from... Opting instead to come up with something "new"? A game that is "supposedly" set between SF2 and SF3 but in reality is just SF2:3D with lame looking ...
Well here's one mode I can pass on. Leave the death matching to games that were designed for it to begin with.
Assassin's Creed is exactly like Grand Theft Auto 4 in this instance. Stick with me here...
Are there differences? Yes. Do they amount to a different game play experience? No. Are they significant enough to mean anything to anyone except the most anal retentive fanboy? No.
To put it more bluntly: If you like Grand Theft Auto then you will be just as happy with whatever version of the game you get. Do you honestly think T2 is foolish enough to make serious differences...
If I were the mother of a highly successful game company executive and some idiot sent me a letter like that I'd be forced to send him TWO letters in response...
An F and a U.
In 1993 when we first saw DVD, tell me how long it took for DVD to become the norm over VHS even once a winner in the format war was found? Here's a hint: In 2000 you could still buy and rent VHS widely.
What made adoption of the DVD format take off like a rocket? Well, there might have been a game console that was selling quite well in the early part of this decade that had a DVD player and when combined with the DVD player sales look what happened.
But it took 8-10...
