vhero what are you talking about? MS just recently did a few ban waves for kids who played ODST and Forza 3 early. Doesn't sound like you know too much about the 360iso scene.
If you play a game early that is unstealthed and is not verified yet, you run the risk of getting banned, end of story.
Morgan Webb is a joke, I can't stand her and her opinions, mostly because her opinion sucks 95% of the time. She has terrible taste in video games, and is very one sided with her biases. I thought she was a DS fangirl tho? Most the games she plays on DS are all "kid" games, so whats her point? I can at least respect Adam Sessler as a gamer, but not Morgan.
And for all you guys that thinks shes hot, you really must have just started watching G4 within the past 2 year...
Doesn't speak much of their own game when they need to devote so much of their (and everyone elses) focus on their "competitors" game. Hell they've given GT5 more publicity than even Polyphony has.
Congratulations everyone for giving this site hits, giving them exactly what they wanted. Nice job everyone.
wow this must be the first time whoever wrote this article has ever seen a mail in rebate. every mail in rebate is like this, and they all take 6-8 weeks. nubs.
Forza 3 does look great, but stacked up side by side with GT5 it really doesn't even come close to the photorealism of GT5.
Photos don't do either of these games justice, you have to see them in motion on the same TV. I have both systems and played both games and the difference is night and day for me.
Not sure why this article is acting like the Zune HD does more than an iPod (well at least the iPod Touch). The Zune HD is still basically just a PMP, while the iPod Touch has much more functionality and is basically a pocket size computer. Microsoft hasn't even released an SDK for the Zune HD, and as of now has no plans to, so their app offerings will never be able to compare with the App Store. Zune HD isn't really a mobile platform, its just a media player, while the iPod Touch is a mob...
Apple updates their iPod lineup yearly in September, and has been doing so for like the past 4 years.
Mr Bun>>>>>>> ;>Confucius
A review site thats willing to give their honest opinion on an overhyped expansion? Blasphemy.
@wxer
And respect is something most people on the internet don't have.
Man I still remember that amazing launch lineup of the Dreamcast. I've never been as excited for a new console launch as I was for the Dreamcast, there were so many great games. I remember when Hollywood Video had a special with Sega and offered the Dreamcast for rental before it launched. Good times.
A remake of Xenogears with the 2nd disc as it was meant to be sure would be nice. Hell, the proper continuation of Xenosaga as it was meant would be nice as well. Just for gods sake someone let Perfect Works be told as it was meant to be.
Can Kotaku possibly suck any worse? Funny how they don't mention anything about XBL having ads integrated right in the interface, despite having to pay for their service.
Kotaku, you never cease to amaze me. So allow me to thank you Kotaku for your terrific displays of ignorance over these past several years.
moral of this story, 99% percent of people on the internet are douchebags and its not even worth the time arguing with them. people online just have an amazing sense of self-entitlement like everyone owes them the world, and its pathetic.
Jaffe lets his emotions take control a little too much. Just learn to ignore the idiots online, it does no good trying to explain things to them no matter how wrong they are.
I hate what has become of the industry this generation, its pathetic.
@morganfell: Wow, you couldn't be anymore wrong. Trading in games has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the games. Like seriously, you couldn't be anymore wrong. People just beat the games and trade it in when they're done, regardless of how much it sucked. If anything its worse with the AAA games, more people buy them and still trade them in when they beat it, and then more people buy them used...
The pacing could have been much better in LO, as is the case with most current gen JRPGs. The game never really built up smoothly to a really high climax like most older JRPGs were able to do very well. The start of the game paced well but didn't manage to build that high climax for me. It sort of all happened too fast towards the end of the game.
Either way LO is probably the best example for this gen alongside MGS4 for game narrative.
Basically summed up this articles says MS' corporate greed and helping to limit creativity will slowly ruin this industry. Can't say I argue with that. A lot of things today somewhat do remind me of the video games crash in the 80s, which happened for similar reasons. I guess never let Americans take control of the gaming industry 0_o
@ Ravage27: "hardcore FF fan back in the PS2 days" LOL wow that made me laugh.
KH2?? Wow, that made me laugh even harder.
Maybe that was Sesslers way of coming out?
This is a joke that he'd call them out on something so silly. Smug, sensitive people are the ones who make harmless stupid little things into big ordeals.
