Great, now just let me buy all my PS3 titles through the PSN (Day & Date) and I'll be a happy camper. Real life stores suck :)
Im with you on that one.
I liked FF13, but it definetly was lacking alot of great FF stuff that we all have grown fond of over the years. Im really looking forward to Versus 13 the most though.
I dont know how much content they cut out of 13 so it could fit on the 3 DVD's for the 360, but it definetly gimped the game in the end. Lets hope they dont cut content on 13-2 because of DVD space this time around. I dont care if it takes them 10 discs, just m...
PlayStation Plus is well worth the money, Im actually suprised at how much stuff you get with the $50 price tag.
I have at least 20+ games free/15+ Dynamic Themes free/20+ Regular Themes free/Big discounts on games and DLC and many other features. Plus all the other stuff that is either free or discounted, plus the early access to demos and other stuff.
I spend $50 on a service that has literaly saved me hundreds of dollars.(and I haven't even used th...
AAA refers to the quality, and generally means "Best Quality" or "Of the Highest Quality"
AAA has nothing to do with popularity, it is simply a very high standard. A AAA game is a game that is generally scored with very high marks. 90+ at meta is considered a very high scoring game. (AAA)
You really cant rate a game with AAA status until it is finished and judged. Game developers like to say that they are making AAA games because they ...
I dont think FPS only need Multiplayer, I just think most FPS need better writers. The game industry has some real gems when it comes to writers (Kojima/Fumito Ueda ect) but most game company's dont have AAA talent in the writing department.
Im really looking forward to the singleplayer in Homefront, because it has a legitimate writer involved.
Im playing BulletStorm right now, and I dont see how any reviewer could possibly give that game over a 7 out...
No doubt it would lower their userbase, but does any company really want to keep those types of consumers around?
I could double my real life friends if I were willing to hang out with the scum of the earth.
I see your point, but I dont think you can let something like theft slide. I mean Sony could let all those hackers/theives slide, and have a bigger userbase, but it is way more harmful to their buisness to let those guys hang around.
Why? Is it not theft?
Stealing is taking something that you dont own. If a bank left it's vault open on accident, would it be OK to go and take all the money you could carry?
It's not OK to steal. If you get caught you should be punished.
1. GTA4 scoring higher than 80 (weakest in franchise, yet best scoring)
2. Halo 3 scoring higher than 75 (weakest in franchise, yet best scoring)
3. Resistance 2 scoring higher than 80 (nowhere near the quality as the first, yet it scores better)
4. Prototype scoring higher than 50 (Most overrated game this gen)
5. Brutal Legend scoring higher than 50 (Really?)
6.Gears of War 2 scoring better than 7...
The only thing the PSP2/NGP has to do to dethrone the 3DS is to have better games.
It doesn't matter if it sells more or less than the 3DS, as long as it has better games, IT WINS.
The same reason the PS3 is winning the console war. It is destroying every other platform in the quality game department.
Lets leave the sells for the executives and the investors.
Dance games are casual, because the MAJORITY of people do not play those types of video games for more than 30 minutes at a time. (aka being a casual gamer / being casual about gaming / casually playing games)
If I made a scary movie, and 99 out of 100 people didn't get scared even once while watching it through it's entirety, could I realy claim it to be a scary movie? The answer is NO.
I could play Kinectimals for 24 hours strait, but it GENERAL...
Yes, you can play dance games, and even solitaire for many hours at a time, but the reason they are considered Casual is the fact that the majority of gamers can only last 30min-1hour before they break for something else.
How long can you dance until you pass out. Im pretty healthy, but I know I couldn't dance for 6+ hours without a break.
Most gamers dont play full bodied motion games for more than 30min-1hour, and that is why games like Dance Centra...
Microsoft obviously has no idea what core games mean to core gamers.
Halo/Gran Turismo/WoW would all be considered Casual if they were using Kinect as their only controls.
A core game is not CORE because it has:
1.blood/violence
2.difficulty
3.graphics ect ect
A core game is considered Core when hardcore gamers are willing to invest many hours a day/week into playing that game.
If...
Typical Microsoft. Trying to convince the masses with words instead of products.
Microsoft's Core lineup is the weakest we have seen in a decade. Hell, even the Wii has more Core exclusives this year.
If Microsoft would put as much effort into their product as much as they do running their mouths, then we would have a real lineup for the 360 this year.
Sony needs to give ModNation Racers to Media Molecule.
MNR was a great game, but it wasn't put together properly. If MNR had a AAA talent making the game, it would really be something special.
I dont doubt that Capcom would do a timed exclusive for some cash, but I really doubt Sony would spend money on a timed exclusive.
Has Sony ever paid for Timed Exclusivity? If Sony paid for Resident Evil 6 to be exclusive it will probably be permanantly exclusive, not timed.
Microsoft is the company that is willing to waste it's money on Timed Exlusivity.
That's just the problem with Forza. It does alot of things right, but the realistic physics is really lacking in the Forza franchise.
Turn 10 needs to stop spending all it's time with "Tire Data" and start trying too get each cars physics right.
I dont know how anyone can claim Forza to be a Simulator. It doesn't have real enough physics to be in that catagory. Forza is about as much a Sim as NFS Shift or Grid.
Whe...
"what is surprising and must be deflating is that 500million worth of marketing for kinect hasnt had the desired effect on console sales ms had hoped"
If Microsoft would have spent Half a $Billion making Kinect instead of Advertising Kinect, they would actually have a product that can compete with the PS3 on a global scale.
That is the main difference between Microsoft & Sony.
Sony will spend a bunch of money making their ...
You gotta admit. They do act the same.
They gave the hitmen stock in their company, now they are all Microsoft/Activision executives now.
Would you consider it a win for Microsoft if QD made their next game for the 360? (I would)
Not gaining Quantic Dream is a loss for Microsoft.
Alot of people figured that they would go back to Multiplatform on their next game. (myself included)
That is just one more Quality Core title that Microsoft misses out on, and when your console is seriously lacking Quality Core games, you can consider it another loss for the 360.
