Last time I checked it only cost 7bucks to rent a game. If you like it enough to buy it.... well .... buy it.
Too many people get caught up in hype, and buy games 1st day.
Just rent the game unless your a crazed fan. There is really no need to flip out, and demand a full refund now-a-day's.
I guess "technically" the actors are photo-realistic.
Reminds me of the old Sega-CD/3DO days. :)
Yeah. I am not a Halo fan by any means, but this game has me on the excited side. I have to admit.
I agree that it's just a differenty type of demographic in Japan, than EU, and US.
However Sony, and Nintendo do not have an unfair advantage. That's like saying MS has an unfair advantage in America.
I understand brand loyalty is higher in Japan, but it is an equal playing ground on the "home country" of the system.
I hear you. The next three weeks are killing me.
I am going to have to hold off on buying games for a bit.
I am going to be trading in my PS2 for a big $30 credit <rolleyes>.
So that can at least take a bit of stress off of one of the games. This hobby is getting really expensive. :(
120 bucks in one shot.
Gamestop pwnz my wallet this Holiday.
I have for a long time been a fan of Sony. Since PS1 and I was a bit leary when I first looked at the 360.
In all honesty man it's a great system, with great games. Don't get me wrong it has it's hardware problems (I have had none), but the games that is has made it worth buying.
I now have the best of both worlds. Makes my gaming easy to deal with. I mean... not being tied to one system.
I think if you bought a 360 you would be happy with it. ...
but Lair, got poor reviews: I actually really enjoyed it.
Warhawk - Decent reviews: I LOVE THIS GAME worth every penny.
Folklore - Not much expectation here: Really enjoyed the demo.
Heavenly Sword - Decent score: I will be buying this day one. This game even got my wife excited.
Blue Dragon - Good game, Great reviews: Not my cup of tea.
Bioshock - Have not played it yet :(
Halo 3 - Not a fan of Halo, but starting to get caught up in the hype. I am...
Since when did gaming become so serious?
I thought the primary goal was to have fun.
Eye of Judgment may be a card game, but it's looks damn cool.
Ratchet... come on man... FUN. PERIOD.
...Embarrassment to video games? What do you call Viva Pinata?
Is Mario Galaxy Coming out by years end?
If so... I see that as being the King this Holiday season. I would say Halo but I think the hype will die down a bit by Christmas/Holiday time.
It will be a great video game holiday though I can at least say that.
Sixaxis is a novelty.
This is a technological break through. A very cool idea, that has limitless possibilities.
I hope they spend more on R&D.
Thank you for the laugh.
A bubble for you.
Well if Media Center will support those codec's I supposed 360 support shouldn't be too far behind.
<Crosses fingers>
First things first: "heed your own advice".
Alright. Please do me the favor, and find any fanboy comments I have made on this site. If you want you can even look up my PSN name, and my Live account. I love both my consoles. So your attempt to call me out is a waste of time.
Secondly:
You are saying that when the Sony fanboys stop with the comments you will as well?
Nothing says I am a man like "I'll do it if you do ...
... you to stop your lame fanboy comments all the time. Take a look at your life, and realize that giving your undying love to a console is only making you look like an ass.
I would also like if you could give it a rest, and make comments that actually help N4G's community instead of hindering it.
On Topic:
I will be more interested when Sony is more involved in this. It is not really needed, but nice to have none the less.
You only use your PS3 for Casino Royale? Or do you not have a PS3, and making a foolish statment about something you don't even have?
I have been happily playing R:Fom, Warhawk, Tekken 5, Oblivion, and a few of my old PS2, and PS1 games.
Seems to work for me. Maybe you should sell your PS3, and get a 360. So that you have more to do than watch James Bond over, and over.
Didn't this whole online console thing start with Dreamcast?
So did MS steal the idea from Sega? Yes, and No.
MS saw it's potential, and improved upon it. As did Sony, and Nintendo.
It's typical business to copy ideas, and improve them.
I am sure nobody is forgetting about Mass Effect, as you seem to remind everyone.. every chance you get.
I am still surprised Mass Effect is being called an RPG to begin with though. Seems more of an action title than a full blown RPG. At least from what I have seen of it. I could be wrong.
On subject though:
I was really hoping this would be a better game. I was not all that impressed with the Demo. Much like Blue Dragon, the Demo just didn't...
World of Warcraft is a game that 8 to 60 year olds play.
Just throwing that out there.
There are many very good games that most would consider short. It all comes down to what type of gamer you are.
Gears I consider short, but a great game. I burned through that with my brother in law the same day we opened it. This was not typically the way I play games though.
I bought my PS3 in July, and still have yet to finish Resistance. I am enjoying it very much though.
Honestly 7-8 hours would easily last me well over a month or two. I ...
