Even with the bugs and repetitive side missions (oh and the elevator loads!), I still thought ME was one of the best games I've ever played. Bioware are masters of narrative and character, so I apologize when I say that although I'll look forward to THIS game, nothing will make me forget ME2.
...aren't even NEARLY over yet (although i do think UC2 should and will win it)...and we're speculating on whether an unfinished racer - which I'm sure will be phenomenal - will win GOTY 2010 in a year that will see GOW3, Mass Effect 2, Heavy Rain, FFXIII, Bioshock 2, Last Guardian, Halo: Reach, (and so many other games) released?
Oh yeah, I wasn't comparing at all. 100M made me curious how it lined up with other franchises. VERY impressive numbers for NFS, I really had no idea.
Top ten best-selling video game franchises:
Mario (210 million)
Pokémon (193 million)
Tetris (125 million)
The Sims (100 million)
Need for Speed (100 million)
Final Fantasy (85 million)
Grand Theft Auto (70 million)
Madden NFL (70 million)
FIFA (65 million)
The Legend of Zelda (57 million)
Anyone have any idea how this compares to franchises like FF, Mario, Zelda, Dragon Quest, etc.
I love my 360 too, but when you are talking "bang for your buck" it just has to be PS3. Forget about the games on both systems, the free wireless, free "online", blu-ray, free controller charger, etc...it's easily the best value.
At least part of these sales have to be due to the AMAZING box art Japan received for the game.
What a great way to kick off Sony's big game line-up (GOW3, GT5, etc.). How will it sell in America?
You hide videogames under your bed too?
Some people LOVE action movies and want to play a game that resembles them. Anyways, what is original in this context? Halo - a well respected game - is a game about space marines that travel to space and meet aliens...Super Mario is a game about a lizard-fighting plumber who ...wait that one is original.
Well done...that's something this site (and the internet in general) is lacking. Everyone's so quick to bash things without giving explanations.
I like to average scores from IGN, GameInformer, and 1UP to get my aggregate review score (I believe they are unbiased) and now it's complete with a score of 98.3. Daaaammmnnnnn!
...falling in love with the MGS series. I mean I love the PS brand so much and maybe I just don't like that type of game (didn't love any splinter cell either) but I think that GOW 1/2, UC, SotC, etc. are better games. I think they control better than MGS 1-3 and I think MGS' story is way too overrated. I'd be cool with Kojima working on something different and Bungie working on something different as well.
...I'm confused. I'm not saying Amazon is everything when it comes to pre-orders (I know Gamestop, EB, etc. do more) but UC2 has been in the top 3 on Amazon SALES (not preorders) for at least 3 weeks, well ahead of MW2. How can it be so far behind?
Hey all...i just got my PS3 like 8 months ago and wanted to play through other games (UC, MGS4, Dead Space, etc.) so I haven't played either resistance. Can someone give me a quick review of either or both? Thanks.
People were saying that because SE has to make it for 360 in US it will be scaled down...i REALLY hope not.
This is sort of (well very) unrelated but it involves Sony. Is it official that the U.S. version of FFXIII will not look as good as the JP version? Sorry, I didn't know where else to post this and that Japanese trailer looked insanely beautiful.
Nothing I'm interested in. Oh besides the GOTY, that is.
Okay, is anyone currently doing Avatar Awards? It's not a HUGE deal, but let's say there's an achievement for beating MW2 on the highest difficulty...your Avatar should get a special gun so people can recognize you got that achievement.
...I'm really looking forward to this game. I loved VI and VII but haven't LOVED an FF since...I'm hoping this game brings me back.
