" They are also entitled to reply to criticism that doesn't even give an explanation to why they thought the game was bad. "
Yes, and we are entitled to not give a crap about their whining when it comes because it is stupid and pointless. Customer dissatisfaction is non negotiable. We are paying customers. Our opinion actually counts. Our feedback is valuable and can be used to make more money and correct bad development or publishing practices that alienate cus...
Stupid people should not talk to their customers. It often leads to business tragedy.
If you ACTUALLY hate Japanese games and want to see them stop coming over, YOU ARE NOT A GAMER*.
*According to some nerd on the comments section of video game news aggregator site that routinely accepts terrible op-eds, and tiresome click-lists from blogspot sites without even google ads on them that nobody ever reads.
I'm sure that sort of criticism matters to somebody.
Comicbooks went into restricted direct market system in the early 90's and have since shrunk to the point that selling 200,000 issues is a GOOD number where in the old days of bookstores and newsracks below 400,000 sales was grounds for canceling a title. Comics forced themselves into a niche. Now they are irrelevant to the mainstream except when they are licensed to produce movies. This is not a good move. Gamestores are already niche so going online only is even MORE niche. Big Box stor...
iPad 3 costs $400-$800.
Vita costs $250-$350.
I don't think they are in the same market.
Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet are more in the same price range as Vita and stuff like the Samsung Play 5, the very low end galaxy android tablets, and the iPod touch.
And between Marathon, and Halo Bungie did the first two games of the Myth RTS series.
The actual technical work on Halo CE: Anniversary was done by Saber Interactive, the same people who did Timeshift, Inversion, Will Rock(kind of like Serious Sam with greek myths), and that terrible budget game for the Battle: Los angeles movie. They were the ones who figured out how to run a graphics engine on top of the old game.
343i just oversaw it, and adapted reach multiplayer into a Halo:CE like playlist and then made some new Reach MP maps.
If it's less than $800 and it runs most or ever better all PC games on Steam including the old ones, (modern ones at 1080P at at least 30 FPS w/ some decent AA on TV's then it's already a better buy than a PC for most people focused on gaming who aren't after bleeding edge graphics cards. If it has smart-TV/streaming-box type features then so much the better. If it can do TIVO stuff and SKYPE then watch the heck out.
If it's less that $500 it's probab...
According to Grasslands:
The surviving prophets are in hiding.
Most of the elites have an uneasy truce with the UNSC and they are having material problems since the engineers and the drones don't really like them anymore and very few of them know enough about covenant technology to reproduce it any more. In fact they barely know how to farm well enough to feed themselves. A lot of them want to finish the extermination job on the humans before the humans d...
I'm just not going to buy it. Why buy something from someone who will take away your ability to play a game you paid $60 for if you piss them off on their forums? Bioware deserves to have some bum sales so they can appreciate the immense value of money and customer good will again. Idiots do not deserve to be in business.
And no, I'm not going to pirate it. I'm just going to do with out it. There are plenty of other games for me to play from publishers and devs wh...
Yeah 4chan is where picture of dead animals and cartoon naked women with penises come from. It's best to just look away from 4chan.
Yep. There's really not much point in buying a console with games you can't lend out or borrow. That's half the fun. Take that away and I really don't much care about video games.
I preordered it.
No they' couldn't do "a lot better". They still haven't.
a 10% power difference is not going to get you a lot better of anything. The PS3 is old and weak now and it was always pretty equivalent to the 360 despite all the goggle wearing fanboys telling themselves different. 6 symmetric threads is pretty similar to 7 asymmetric threads for most purposes and 512 MB unnfied is not that different from 256MB fast video and 256 MB slow system memory. The blu-...
This is hilarious stuff coming from Shredder after Twisted Metal is already down to a 79 on Metacritic with only 20 reviews. Oh those Sony exclusives! LOL
People need to stop with all their worthless made up advice to game publishers. You don't know crap, don't have any money at risk, and you rarely actually buy the game you claim to want in sufficient numbers to sustain development of sequels.
Just give up. Nobody in the game business takes any of your silly "trying to sound smart" advice seriously nor should they.
You don't have what it takes to successfully design, produce, market, and...
After playing Killzone 3, Uncharted 3 and Resistance 3 I've decided not to even bother with PS3 exclusives anymore. I don't care about Twisted Metal (which just came out) or any of the other things on the way. Really, I don't even care much about Last Guardian at this point. I'm just going to put my PS3 in the closet and forget about it.
And I'm only really interested in about 7 games(Mass Effect 3, Borderlands 2, Binary Domain, Syndicate, Dishonored, Alie...
That's out of my price range since I can easily get a crappy used car for that.
The articles on N4G are gathered from lame non-sites and mixed with a few real sites. It's an aggregator site. And no, the bias tends to be towards sony because Sony fans are more like to fart out a terrible amateur press blog site and write one awful unedited opinion piece after another about crap no one wants or cares about. But I tell a lie. Half the time they just come up with annoying top-X lists of almost random crap no one wants or cares about.
I guess writing the...
There is nothing sacred about fiction that keeps it from being beyond the reach of revision, especially if it is bad fiction.
