After the demo and what we've saw I find that very hard to believe
You sound like an EA PR guy"
This is why Root goes too far. He whines about having his opinion being heard but is quick to attack those who disagree with his agenda because that is all it is folks, an agenda on his behalf. He will spam articles on Dead Space 3 just like he did with DMC and will do the same thing with Tomb Raider.
He w...
That's the problem. It isn't just having an opinion because his opinion is quite valid if indeed Dead Space 3 goes in a more action-oriented direction and less about solitude and creepiness. The problem is he is a professional poster meaning he will keep posting all day every day to make sure his opinion is heard.
That's why he goes from voicing his opinion to having an agenda. Two entirely different things and is actually spamming.
"as a new to the franchise customer, i feel that the game was very well put together."
That's the thing, you're not going into DMC with a bunch of baggage. You don't have high expectations drowned in history. It's very clear they have a new studio with a new vision and want to reboot the franchise.
It kind of reminds me of Star Wars fans. They don't like any changes George Lucas made on the original 3 movies. They also hated the ...
The fanboys for Sony will always point a bleak outlook for the Xbox 360 and the fanboys of Microsoft will always make the PS3 look as bad as possible. That's why they are fanboys.
Even though the author states games not available on the PS3 some are quick to point out the PC. Some will also mention some games are XBLA games or Kinect games. All narrowing the debate into their favor. We have seen some great arcade games over the years on both systems. Journey on the PS3 an...
Years ago people used to find glitches or secrets to speed through a game or make it easier. Now they see it as extra revenue to be made because now they can fix the game online with an update and then charge you for things like God mode we used to use in games like DOOM.
Publishers like EA will milk it for all its worth. Next they will be charging for game manuals since those are now almost obsolete. They could easily sell walkthroughs too.
I don't hav...
What games and movies 'CAN' do (can meaning to some individuals not all) is desensitize violence. If you grow up seeing violent movies and playing violent games then seeing real world violence may not be as alarming to 'SOME' individuals. I'm not sure if there is proof of that or not but I will give them the benefit of the doubt for arguments sake.
The problem is from seeing to action. I have played many violent games and have seen many violent movies. Tha...
Bruce Willis made a comment about his iTunes content and being able to leave it to his children when he dies. This is the slippery-slope many fear going forwards. What do we actually own? Services like Playstation Plus lean towards a rental service like Netflix. What about XBLA games and all the PS3 games I bought online?
People are often lenient when it comes to Steam because of the service and the prices but as digital gets more cemented into our buying we will have less fl...
From the article:
"In my eyes, Dead Space 3′s new direction does it right. When compared to the first two — from what I can tell with my limited experience, at least — the latest Dead Space entry dials back the survival horror aspects and fills that area with action-oriented gameplay. For series die-hards, such a statement is obscene, an injustice imposed upon a beloved framework. Tinkering with what isn’t broken, if you will. I have heard these cries, fans declaring EA is dumbin...
Where it all stands for me is real gameplay. Not tech demo's. I don't want to see what it can apparently do but what is actually does. I also don't want to see games that are 3+ years away from being released.
"Unfortunately the western world suffers from structural problems."
Actually it's across the globe. Japan has been in a recession for years, China is slowing down as well. The fact is the retail space has changed as more and more people look at alternative methods like E-Bay and buying games digitally.
First you say:
"And because the new dmc games are inferior to past games"
Then you go on and say:
"DMC2 was a mistake, I can even admit that but still they improved with DMC3 and even DMC4"
lol
"Maybe you should give it a rest"
You're right Root, you should give it a rest. If you don't want to like the game then why go out of your way going into topics about it? You would ...
"And because the new dmc games are inferior to past games"
Who says, you? Have you finished the game? Probably not.
"New instalments to franchises should get better not worse, which is why I dont understand the amazing reviews despite the games problems"
The DMC franchise did not get better with each installment. In fact many didn't like DMC2. You didn't like the reboot even before it was released, you made up your...
"While reviews SHOULD be based off the target demographic and how well the game performs within those standards, it's always good to see multiple opinions. "
Of course. The more the reviews the more information people have. That's why I find it amusing seeing so many people get excited when a game gets a low review even though most reviews are very high. You see it all the time on N4G when a high profile game gets high marks and then one or two review sites ...
You mean you agree with the review since it wasn't a high score unlike the DMC reviews which of course were all conspiracy theories?
This is why reviews should be based on the actual product and its purpose. You cannot have it both ways. DMC is a good game and this may very well not be. If Dead Space 3 is a departure from the first two then yes, gamers should be pissed. Just like why gamers were upset from Dragons Age to Dragons Age II.
This is why I do ...
"The choice is a simple one: Do you cater for the fickle casuals or the hardcore devotees?"
Actually it isn't that simple. You can cater to both and be successful. The problem for Microsoft is they had to be very aggressive with Kinect in order for it to succeed and that led to ignoring the hardcore while coasting on existing ip's. So the hardcore crowd felt ignored and rightly so.
My hope is that going forward they can manage both. Games li...
There are too many hurdles to evolve gaming ideas into the mainstream. Look at the compromises the Wii U had to make in order for it to be affordable. If the Wii U had the latest technology it would be well over $350. As it is now Nintendo is losing money on it. So to fully experience this Illumiroom you will need next generation Kinect cameras and a projector. It is possible to create a next generation experience but at what cost? Even Sony tried to create a True HD game platform, the PS3. B...
Agreed, more games should cater to what gamers want. However there also needs to be a balance set in place that the developer can also makes games they want to make, without gamers thinking they can dictate how the game should be or overly controlling publishers.
Games that allow freedom for the gamer to personalize and be creative PLUS games that allow the developer the freedom to make any game they want = win win.
It's because Microsoft is trying to create an Xbox experience while using apps like Netflix. Which means all your Live features and social functions, along with Kinect features, are integrated with the app. The problem is this clouds the idea of Netflix being a free app (of course you need a Netflix membership regardless of the platform you use and Xbox Live Gold does not cover that).
That's the problem with Live, because everything must run through Live it means you ...
Root,
First off you're the one who followed me here, not the other way around. Second of all don't be telling people how to act when you yourself are the one who's guilty of the conduct you're now trying to displace yourself from.

"Mike all you do is bash anyones commenta that diffee from yours anyway"
That's not true at all and embellishing the truth doesn't make you look any better.
"personal attacks an immatuity because you cnt stand people having a differnt opinion to you"
That's not an attack, it's factual. You are going into every article about this game. Whether it's about previews, reviews or about the fanbase. So yes, yo...
