I passed on the 360 version when they cited all the issues, but if they've revised their score this much thats worth noting. Also I saw this was on Steam so it would be an easy buy.
Awww silent knight you in a tizzy there? Getting a little defensive about absolutely nothing? I think you care a tad to much about defending your gaming machine.
I got mine for KZ2, funny enough though I liked Uncharted much more... can't wait for the second.
I agree, some GFWL are quite neat in their integration. I can see some people complaining because they don't care about acheivment points etc. but its not that big of a deal. Its always nice to things operate in harmony and GFWL does that quite well if a you have an XBL account.
I know not everyone has one, which im sure is where the stink came from, but its not very hard to sign up for a general live account.
I completely agree, I'd have given it the greatest graphical leap because it came out before Resident Evil 4 and completely knocked my socks off. Although actually, I feel as though it could have easily earned most technical advancement also... certainly over Fzero.
I thought about pointing out middleware was the wrong term, but then it seemed like everyone was assuming that meant licensed engine so I went with it. Im with you though xi, after all, many of these engines are extremely diverse and are only recognizable by their graphics. You wouldn't play mass effect and complain about how the gameplay feels too UE3.
Im not really sure I can agree with this article, while its an interesting point to bring up, it seems only valid if the games being made today were of the same complexity of those many years ago (before middleware took over). The thing is, most games today are better than any game at least 6 years old. Because way more time goes into making them (even mediocre games by today's standards). I'd dare to say that the quality we see today is a result of better and more widely available tool sets....
Thats a good point, and a funny side note, at Microsoft when they search their MSDN library they use Google.
First hes dead, now hes gay... when will tupac catch a break.
Yes, but at least they're being penalized for it. I agree that it was stupid to not have a quit option but many people quit to save their rank, so if their rank is being hurt they may be less likely to quit.

I disagree, in that many of those titles I played but on a different console. Seems a bit Sony heavy to me. That being said, Ive easily played more than 70% of those and 100% of the SNES ones. I think as far as quality goes the N64 had more significant titles than PSX (of course everyone loves FF7 though). Plus FFX on the ps2... personally I thought that game was ridiculous, and not in a good way. You're entitled to your own opinion but to include a list of games i...
While, it has a sequels name, the game itself was completely different than the original farcry which was a great game and looked amazing at the time. It came out of nowhere and made the yet to be released Doom 3 look much less impressive as a power house game. Guess thats unrelated, but I really liked the original farcry.
Yeah I don't know whats up with that. Id rather they just port the original, it was my favorite map from the first game. And why does every new map have to be lousy with power weapons? Freaking river is the worst cluster F*** on torque bow rounds... nades going off everywhere, torques and boomshots to boot!
Oh and, I don't like the xp based leveling up idea at all. Why can't they just do trueskill like halo? That system was pretty good.
Oh and while you're at it, mak...
Well Im one person who has beaten the single player and hasn't taken it online yet. So if I haven't yet Im sure theres a decent amount who haven't yet.
While its likely true that this same person expressed extra ordinary ambition to slaughter people while playing counter strike and it may have served to aggravate him, if it weren't counter strike it would be something else. When someone is so deranged as this, it doesn't take violence to make them violent. Just like violence (in video games, movies etc.) doesn't make normal people violent.
Just like a lot of people hated the original games controls so too will people hate this games. But some will love it. Also you call it a run of the mill action game yet your only argument for that is the controls. When really its the controls that make this fundamentally different than other "action" games. If given the ability to run and gun thats when the game would degrade into the action genre.
While I agree a lot of people bought the 360 for Halo (personally I bought mine for gears) I think its too late in the game for one title (we'll say KZ2 because its a good counter to halo) to sell consoles anymore.
Plus, like prime said, a lot of it has to do with where your friends are. AND, this guy was a massive fanboy. How can you end something with, So just make games for the ps3, and be taken seriously.
Wait a minute, my name is Dylan, and Im the talented one. It is on good sir!
@ Sonarus
Thank you, I was just thinking that. However I hope you're not saying that because KZ2 is soooooo much better than Gears. Rather, they're completely different.
Although, did anyone else notice that in both you're a member of alpha squad? Seems a little too coincidental, I think Epic and Guerilla planned the whole thing and soon were going to find out that the locust are mutated helghast. Think about it.
Edit: Hahaha bsigel, thanks for making m...
Good call, didn't know there was a demo. Thanks for the heads up.
