You obviously care enough about KZ2 to add a completely flame bait sentence at the end of your post.
@2.1
If you can assume from his comment alone that he only owns a 360, it would be fair from your comment to assume you only own a PS3, wouldn't you say?
In which case, it would also be fair to ask you: "HOoooooooooooooooooooow in hell u care about 360 jrpgs since u own a PS3 only", right? See how silly your comment became then?...
Of course hardcore gamers are addicts, and it doesn't have to be Depends-level in order to qualify as an addiction. Nor does it need to surpass and compete with "...Soap opera's, or Game Shows, or Dancing with the Stars, or American Idol, or whatever T.V. programs", the town is big enough for the lot of them.
This article is mostly based on the great human way of thinking: "I do it, therefore it can't be bad", but logic like that is called denial, not too unco...
Don't be silly, people here don't read anything beyond the headline and perhaps a few lines of text under if they feel particularly energetic.
That's the March DLC (Broken Steel), not this one.
One might say that fanboys act as both marketing and lawyers for their corporate gods, hyping and defending them regardless of whether they are obviously wrong or not.
At least they only succeed at destroying their own lives, unlike real lawyers and marketing.
Well, the PR department is doing their job at least.
The best way to get most hits would actually be to pick an exclusive.
This thread would then have been 1200 degrees and 500 comments, with fanboys from the "winning side" celebrating the utter destruction of the opposition (because remember that for a game to get goty, it has to be at least a thousand times better than all other games combined), and the losing side calling bias and payoffs.
A display of human brilliance like that never fails to generate s...
It's really very simple; hits.
N4G and probably most sites that have their news posted here revolve primarily around hits, and will peddle pretty much any crap in order to obtain them. In that regard, they are just like "real" news (TV, Newspapers etc.).
Optimus Prime almost droppped the F word.
You'd rather not see comebacks of great games, than "risk" having things change (which isn't by any means always a bad thing) and have your nostalgia hurt somehow (that doesn't even make sense)?. Each to their own I guess.
Most of the great game series have already been mentioned in this thread, but I'd like to add Dungeon Keeper right up there with the rest.
Money trumps laws, and you better believe it.
Once you trick a consumer into a store, his/her wallet is doomed regardless of whether you have the advertised offer or not.
"Oh, that mind come in handy some day!"
The Battle for Middle-Earth games did the evil campaign decently, if you want a taste of hobbit slaying. I suspect however that just like in those games, Conquest's good campaign will be the most fleshed out, since the Lotr lore is mostly told from the good perspective.
Might I ask you this question then: have you ever played a video game?
That was tongue in cheek by the way, but games should and do take some artistic freedom for the sake of fun game play.
The title and your comment combined paints a bleak picture of people's relation to hardware.
A possible, but unlikely scenario.
Had they just made the game identical on both platforms and not mentioned DLC, no one would know something was missing and thus feel "alienated".
DLC is far more a business model than a fan service, and unless it's free, I'm afraid the inequality behind it is simple: money > fans.
Day 1 DLC will be the new trend, just you wait.
"Xbot creates a new site V4G to bash Killzone 2"
Title of a news article now on the front page of N4G.
"Fanboyism reaches a new low as Killzone 2 launch nears."
First sentence in said article. Anyone see the staggering irony in this?
Also, "...Using words such as Xbots and Sony droids, or other words from the console war vocabulary, is strictly prohibited in this Zone."
Guidelines for the Gamer Zone...
There is a word for merely having a bias/preference (not imposed on others mind you): Fan.
Fanboy is not a "real" word, it's just used to label the extremists/psychos etc.
Someone thinks he deserve more money because he's totally more awesome than some losers with plastic guitars... that's the gist of it I think.
