I also think it has to do with the likelihood of flash videos running poorly on their device. Not just crashing, but also performance. I have a netbook (with better specs than the ipad) and it has a little trouble running high resolution flash videos. HTML5 may take over, but if it does it won't be for years now.
@Eamon
So you're saying fanboys aren't intelligent logical beings? Im not sure how I feel about that.
@Morgan
My statement was mostly a joke. I was just pointing out that you owning a PS3 doesn't mean you have the most (and I know you didn't actually say this) advanced hardware and are being down trodden on because people own less "sophisticated" machinery. I was just pointing this out because you acted as though 360 owners were like parasites for even ownin...
Im gonna have to side with MattQC on this one. The way the guns feel in CoD is better in my opinion. Graphically / sound / scope, BF wins out for sure. But the guns dont feel as solid. Why does it take more than a pistol clip to kill someone? I swear people just eat damage in BFBC2. Don't get me wrong, Im enjoying it and will pick it up, but it's certainly not flawless. This could also be part of lag issues that were going around... Im gonna play it again in a couple days to double check on t...
@Morganfell
Now you know how PC gamers feel. Constantly getting less in the graphical department than they could.
I had no idea a beta was coming, so I get all excited and download it. Then I find out it's a closed beta. What a cruel cruel world.
I don't suppose anyone of you fine people have an extra key laying around?
alcon is right, I just posted in the gamer zone calling it a piece of crap. So, if that slides, Im pretty sure you're good to go.
Well, it does seem like a pretty big piece of crap. But maybe that's just my opinion. Mine, and maybe a couple of guys over at Gizmodo.
Im not to sure where the defensive posts are coming from. I don't think I read anything offensive in there. For one, he never said that girls were too retarded to do anything. This was an article directed at getting non-gamers (and this would be true for guys who don't play as well) to play games, and that starting simple is the best way to go.
Also, while shooters in theory are not complex, trying to control two thumb sticks, triggers, and buttons simultaneously is actually qui...
@arius
I partially agree with you, but I must also say Im enjoying the game so much, and have wanted a game like this for a long time, that I can't help but just wish they made the same game with better graphics. I know graphics don't make a game, because like I said Im enjoying it, but this game would be unreal if it had more sophisticated graphics.
As a side not, the whole camera feature was just genius, obstructing and darking the vision like it does just makes ...
Maybe he meant SKOKE-ING. In that, if everyone on your team smokes you won't get nuked... because you and your team will already be dead from lung cancer.
@ryuzu
They did a lot more with Halo than just Rechargeable health. Even if they hadn't though, while it seems trivial now, that was a very intelligent step forward. besides that though Id say vehicle interaction and physics really set it apart.
As for the list, I don't think I could agree anymore. All my favorite shooters are on there (cept maybe Deus Ex which I see a ton of people saying).
I know people on here like to feel like the world is against sony. And maybe that is partially true in the gaming sector. But you guys have to realize that, for one, anyone posting on these forums is not an average consumer so the notion you get from reading on here is not typical. And secondly, that Sony electronics are held to a high standard. Which means, people think very highly of Sony products.
Well, if you're like me, 3d gives you a wicked headache. I havent really read anything about this but Im surprised no one has talked about it. I've seen 2 3d movies and I left the theater feeling like crap. It may have had something to do with the viewing angle, so maybe in my living room it won't have the same effect... Ill have to wait and see.
@Lord
I don't know anyone who doesn't think those weapons are lame and OP (at least since before the patch). Also, not only does running around dual wielding those not make any sense whatsoever, but why should a freaking shotgun from 1887 be better than the modern ones? (specifically the AA-12 because a ton of research and design went into making it)
And yes, you can kill people using them. But look at before the patch, everyone was using them. That's a clear indicat...
Is that the kid who was at fat camp? And if so, I saw that growing up and again fairly recently... was surprised that Ben stiller was the evil health nut. And, if Im thinking of the wrong movie, just disregard this entire statement.
Doc sony is right. You can't fault Obama for not just up and leaving. It's no mystery that Bush was an idiot and that whole thing is a quagmire. However, and as unfortunate as it is, Obama can't just make the call to bail on the now, more than ever, unstable region.
I don't know much about this game but was hoping it would be like BF2 (one of my all time favorite shooters). I noticed people mentioning battlefield 3, has this been announced and if so, can anyone help me out with any content thats been shown? It would be much appreciated.
I can't tell if you're being ironic noctis. I just can't tell.
Im not sure why so many people are treating this as fanboy drivel. He clearly stated that he didn't care about sales but companies do. Which is true. While Uncharted selling 2 million (I don't know the exact number but that seems roughly correct) is sad since I consider it the best single player experience Ive had in a long time. Ok, its not sad, because 2mil is still really good. But it's upsetting when compared to other games abilities to sell. I play all those games too (Halo, Gears, CoD) ...
I don't know about ME2, but forcing AA is never as good as in game. For example, Global Agenda, when you force AA with it, half the icons disappear.
