what has a packet of unpacked datafiles to do with the fact that there is still no working hack for the PS3 ?
nothing, it remains un-hacked, and thats even 2 years into its lifetime, the xbox360 managed 6 month, the wii managed 2 weeks for a concept and 6 weeks for a working hack
Answer: a fanboy
Not cause of the overall post, but cause of the repeated old "much more good games" myth
Cause if you take a year headstart into consideration and the resulting bigger overall lineup you will have to return to percentages of the lineup to compare both without a fanboy tint.
Doing that the xbox360 AND the PS3 BOTH share a 3% great games of the lineup (great = 90%+ average rating)
The xbox360 has a 24% GOOD games in ...
Is it friday already ?
Japan is about as strict as Australia regarding violence in games. And GeoW2 is violent, no 2nd thought there :D
Seems they don't want to face a ban, hence they don't even try.
Jup, thats about all of it.
would not pass the strict youth protection laws here, and therefor be denied advertising and public showing. Hence MS did not release GeoW1 in Germany, too.
It is not hard to get it though, as long as you are an adult. I have bought games from Austria many times in such cases as Austria uses the same language anyways.
First one was denied rating, and consequently was placed on the "danger to minors" list hence no advertising, no public showing, only way to get it was to buy it from a software store "below the counter" and this rules out gamestop and every mall and superstore as they do not sell games without rating.
Though it is a freaking SIMPLE thing to just buy it online in austria and get it shipped in 2 days via mail ... *rolleyes*
I buy most of my games i...
In before the flamewar \o/
They did not, as the score was given to them from the reviewer. There was no estimating involved, so its factual that the Variety reviewer simply disliked LBP. I got as much from the original review, that was rather negative and failed to see anything good from community driven concepts. That they don't post the numerical score on the page is a decision by Variety, but obviously they give the "score" to metacritic.
Obviously Variety provided the score:
[*Note: All Variety scores are provided to Metacritic by Variety's Games Editor - Metacritic is not estimating here or on any other game review.]
In case anyone missed it, direct quote from Metacritic:
[*Note: All Variety scores are provided to Metacritic by Variety's Games Editor - Metacritic is not estimating here or on any other game review.]
Please move your hate to the game editors of Variety ... thx
Time to update the story, right?
*this hysteric campaigning starts to get on my nerve*
Is this some kind of joke?
The AP article has not a single mention of "Sony" or "Playstation" or "PS3" in it. This is fake ...
As people can see by themselves on the metaritic comments section a statement from metacritic staff is already up advising people to ignore the userscore cause it was obviously created by stuffing the ballot with 0:10 votes, and YES, everybody knows what flavor of console fanboy did that, no point in trying to shift the blame.
Metacritic states that this hateful behavior will be fought by a mandatory registration in the near future, as this will block these kind of scripted rando...
To use a well abused sentence again:
When was a 8.5:10 score a BAD score?
Naturally it is not a flop *rolleyes* it is a very very good game.
Only thing that this reminds me off is the suspicious rating trend from Eurogamer. So far they seem to be at the top ratings for 360 games, and always at the low end for PS3 games, like when a PS3 game gets average 9+ they will be the page giving it 8-9, in most cases presenting the lowest score for the game from all the r...
You should clean your glasses.
Not only do they indeed go to non 10:10 reviews of LBP claiming it to be a flop, they even go to Metacritic and flood the games page with 0:10 user scores to vote it down, THAT is something you don't see very often, shows the matureness, right?
Actually i believe that Sony thought about a twofold problem the song creates.
a) Sony is very strong in a business sense in most islamic countries, it would be a bad move to alienate their customers by committing heresy based upon the believes of the people they want to do business with.
b) There is currently a islam-witch hunt in the US like the communist witch hunt of the McCarthy era. The main reason is that the presidential campaign now moved into the mud slingi...
there, have a bubble
After re-reading it i think this would need some heavy structuring and some shortening .. i blame the small edit box, it does not give you a good view of what you write :S
But i lack the time now .. gotta go visit some friends for lunch and some non-game related talking. Sometimes you would think some people do not leave their PC at all .. :/
Already on preorder, waiting for this since the first trailers went online at TGS07 or so ...
What i find highly ironic is that the same people who now scream bl00dy murder at Sony for some made up "favorism" or "bending over for terrorists" for not "defending free speech and western values" are the ones who also screamed bl00dy murder at the makers of the 911 Art piece (the asteroids one) and the 911 crap levels in the beta. At that time they preached to the broad public how disgusted and offended they are when someone takes their precious 911 heritage a...
I find it ultimately funny how some rabid haters keep spreading the nonsense that the PS3 sold so horrible that its an epic failure. Facts state that it sold MORE units in their first two years than MS sold xbox360 in their first two years. So if the PS3 is an epic sales failure, what does that tell you about the Xbox360, especially as the 360 sells at a MUCH lower price ?
Bottom line, the MORE expensive system sells MORE units in the same timeframe than the cheaper system. Now t...
