You could also play those PC games on a Sony VAIO. So, you're playing Mass Effect on Sony hardware.
Plus now with Steam available on the Mac, the MS Exclusive term is becoming more and more useless.
wow. you need a better term for other n4g member.
I about had a South Park "People Who Annoy You" moment.
Yes.
I was going to type more, but I didn't want to spoil anything, I'll just say that I don't know if it's good for those type of people to play video games.
I was playing Kid Icarus when I was 12. (and you don't see me flying around shooting eggplants!)
Tacked-on Online features just because developers think it's expected. (takes away from story driven games)
All games the same price regardless of quality/quantity. Normal software doesn't all cost the same just because all of the boxes are the same size. (I know there are exceptions and this problem has been around since the beginning of video games)
Old franchises turning FPS because it's trendy (Fallout and Metroid for example)
Then by your definition, any game that is not on rails, has Open World elements.
Gears of War,
God of War,
Super Mario Brothers
all of them had things you could find a bit off the beaten path, but no one would list Open World Elements as a feature.
Seriously, if AW hadn't been originally announced as an open world game, no one would be talking about these things. But it is still in the back of people's mind, so they wa...
I did read it. He lists "Open World" as one of the features. Occasionally finding a cabin or ranger's station in a ~12 hour game, isn't "Open World".
Open World usually means that I can stop the main story line at anytime, go to any part of the world at anytime. Backtrack, explore, side quests, etc..
I'm not saying that would work for AW, I'm saying people need to quit pretending that it is "Open World".
Why do people keeps saying that it's still "Open World" and "Huge Environments".
This is one of the most linear "Walk down this path" games I've ever played. Just because you can walk to the back of a house to find a thermos, doesn't make it open.
Bull****.
A kid, a cat, a dog jumps up on the couch next to you, jumps in front of you, wags its tail, you put your arm around your girl, you reach to get some popcorn from the bowl, etc...
If you think these things really won't be problems, you're crazy.
"Just the media applications alone are worth it to me"
so that every time your dog walks by, your movie fast forwards?
They can't patch an entire engine. If they could, they would have done it 2 years ago.
I think the main character Tim found a way to make the "Brd" go forward in time, but the "ai" go backwards.
I agree.
I prefer my PS3, but this article is pure damage control.
I will get RDR for xbox, just like I got FFXIII for PS3.
Reminds me of this:

or just buy an xbox 360 so you have both. You get all the exclusives from both sides. Then get to pick the multiplats based on which one it run/looks better on.
don't sell your ps3 because of what a 3rd party dev did (or didn't do).

I guess we should include Mario too since he shoots fireballs.
"shooter" is a well known shortened version of FPS.
You can always count on Eurogamer to bring down the Metacritic score. They gave it 80.

This game should be getting 100/100 not 10/10. How embarrassing for Rockstar.

it's a word AND an acronym.
Fallout 3.
I'm still trying to catch up on games since I played NOTHING else but that for 3 months (Dec, Jan, Feb).
