I'm pretty sure that several people have said they will in this very comments sections. So you can count me as one. But I'm glad you know it's garbage without having played it. You should take that act on the road.
What news groups would those be? Because if you go to places like Giant Bomb, it's full of members that enjoyed the hell out of it. You act like critics are separate from the other gamers based on the fact that they write reviews? I don't write reviews and I loved GTA IV and Lost and Damned. As I've said before, GTA IV was my Game of the Year with only MGS 4 coming close. The people that didn't like it need to understand that a lot of people did.
Wow Shortstop, that's quite ignorant stance. You won't buy a game because it has "Gay" in the title? So do you not watch TV shows with gay characters? Do you not watch movies with gay actors? I mean I really couldn't care less if you want to avoid a game because of the word "Gay" but it frightens the hell out of me that there are people like you in this world.
"We all know that mothers buy GTA for their kids, but I mean, can you imagine a mother walking into a game shop and asking for 'Gay Tony'?"
Well considering that it's going to be released as Episodes from Liberty City, I don't think it's a problem.
See, that's what's funny about opinions. Because I think the game was rated "just right". I enjoyed it, played it from beginning to end, ultimately thinking that it was not only the best GTA to date, but I picked it as my Game of the Year as did many publications and friends of mine. I bought and beat Lost and Damned, and while I didn't like it as much as the full game, it was still a kick ass game.
See, the thing is, not everyone agrees with me and certainly not everyo...
Yeah, I'm stoked for this game. Especially after playing inFAMOUS which has tons of fun but I can't wait to unleash hell in Prototype.
I worried about that too, and while there is some repetition because of the way the game is laid out, it's still pretty varied and fun.
It's funny that you ask me if I even played the game. The "low res" textures you're talking about were a well documented PS3 issue. Not a problem on 360. Car damage in inFAMOUS is that it blows up. That's it. There's no denting, there's no varying degrees of damage, there's hardly even much variety to the vehicles. You can't go into a single building in InFAMOUS, where as you could in GTA IV. Every one? No. But I gotta ask why you're mentioning this when you can't go into any buildi...
Realism intended or not, when someone says that Rockstar can learn a thing or two about graphics from Suckerpunch, and stiff faces is all they delivered, then that reeks of bias.
I'm talking at the same time. You have the character animations, the realistic car damage, the dynamic lighting, weather and day and night cycles, the NPC AI (the world actually exists around Niko). These are facts. Not an opinion.
You can dismiss GTA IV for being boring all you want, while...
I own both consoles and the DUAL SHOCK has always had loose analog sticks. This may not a problem for some, but it severely changes how shooters are played. A tighter stick means more precision. I have no clue about MLG other than gamebattles, I don't claim to know the reasons why they choose the games they do, but I do know that the 360 controller is better when it comes to shooters.
"This will make take-two take notice....because the graphics in infamous surpasses GTA IV in all ways....possible..."
Not really, no. The Euphoria engine is much better. The character animations, specifically, the facial animations are much better. The game has dynamic, active day-night cycles with weather changes that actually affect the physics. The cars have realistic damage as well. None of this is in inFamous at all.
GTA IV has a lot more going on and ...
If this plays well, it'll be fun, but I doubt it's not going to be a time sucker the way MW 2 will be. Hopefully they'll be more than Deathmatch (which I absolutely hate in ANY game) in the beta next week.
Seeing as how everything is subjective on these matters, a good review or bad review is just as relevant. I'm loving the game, not 10/10 love but so far 9/10. I don't think the game shows off the PS3 and I think GTA IV looks better, but the game is so much friggin' fun that for the first time since Uncharted, I actually care about getting trophies. And speaking as a guy who couldn't care less about getting 100%, that's saying something.
As for Metacritic not putting the review o...
I completely disagree. I found Lost and Damned to be a great addition to GTA IV. Old news? Maybe to you, but I know for a fact that there are quite a few of us that find this NEW news to be exciting. But if you want to speak in erroneous blanket statements, who am I to stop you?
This is going to sell well as a disc based game. They'll easily get a return on their investment.
Uhm....Why?
The only negative I see is all the people who'll be too ignorant to buy it because it has "Gay" in the title.
No console FPS controls better than COD. I love Killzone 2 and a lot of the controls they use are mirrored directly from the COD franchise. But the lack of ability to swap out the pistol for a fallen enemies weapon is a terrible game mechanic that forces the game to have conveniently laid out weapons for specific occasions throughout each level. Also, the controls are "floaty" for the lack of a better word.
In terms of Gameplay, sure I'd like to see IW try to add someth...
I have played it recently. I do have an HDTV and it still is more impressive. Why? Because like I said, there is a ton of stuff going on in the game at the same time and it maintains itself throughout. There isn't even a third of what GTA has under the hood going on in inFamous. Again, I played GTA IV for the 360. The PS3 version was well-documented as being "flatter" in terms of graphical pop than the 360.
