Japanese gamers generally have specific gaming interests, the wii hasn't really been offering those games, microsoft's mistake is that they are assuming all japanese gamers like is JRPG's. Sony have more of an understanding it seems, while they are working on getting more JRPGs out, but they also have other games like yakuza 3 which are huge over there in japan.
Yep.. this is rather stupid - there was a very similar problem with the game when it first came out too.
I kept saying this about N4G. The whole thing just takes turns, one minute the PS3 is doomed, next minute the 360 is doomed. Gaming journalists are so inconsistant.
Graphically, the only thing i think MGS4 has over killzone 2 is the character models - but those character models are the best i've seen in any game this generation.
I already knew this. I love killzone 2, it is probably the best FPS i have played online on a console this generation. However, god of war is just an amazing franchise, none of 3 previous games have disappointed and have suprised me each and everytime. God of war 3 will probably be me second best PS3 game (I'm a metal gear fan all over, so MGS4 will most likely keep the top spot ;))
No. I own one and i still don't think it is a proper gaming platform.
Gaming journalism is pathetic.
No. You.
Patcher never had any facts, it was his guestimation.
The long wait times is what made me give up on the game too at first, but i do like the game so i'm giving it another chance now that most of the major issues have been fixed.
I'm actually matchmaking as i speak :p - still slower than other games, but it isn't bad. Trying to get back into gears 2 now all the issues have been fixed. (Mostly)
So people have their PS3 turned on more because PSN is free? :|
"This compares to Xbox 360's "Active User Percentage" of 10.2 percent and PS3's 10.6 percent, which both led the way amongst current and last-gen consoles."
"In average usage days, Wii trailed all other consoles except for GameCube with five days (GameCube had 4.5 days). PS3 and Xbox 360 were used 6.8 and 7.1 days average, respectively."
"Wii also was last in terms of daily average number of sessions with 1.78 sessions, versus 2.42 ...
Not a monster hunter fan.. so.. god of war: chains of olypmus keeps that title for me :)
If you're going to rip off a hack and slash, at least rip of a good hack and slash game.
You know an online system isn't all about rankings?
Using all the abilities, mixing them up etc is all apart of it too. Certainly deeper than most FPS multiplayer systems out today.
Its not really my thing, i'd love it if more games had game launching support - but they don't so...
Anyway, there are loads of people that use it every day and enjoy it - the author shouldn't be trying to stop people using it just because he doesn't like it.
I recently put my review up for socom on user reviews (still waiting for approval (hint hint ;)) anyone that has read it knows that i love the game, but i also love killzone 2 - which i do think is the better game, online and off - but i would never directly compare them like this anyway.
I love how people think that because it is a sony dev saying, that they were told to say it.
One of the god of war devs said they had been playing gears of war 2 recently and loved the game.
SCEA's managing producer said he liked gears of war 2 and had played it.
Were they told to say that?
It'll take more than a HD wii to do that.
