Definitely agree with the article about those 4 games.
Even though they are just reviews, I don't understand why Alan Wake was so poorly reviewed. I usually enjoy or dislike a game right along with the reviews but so far, after about 10 hours of Alan Wake, I don't see how it got low 80's on metacritic. I am having an absolute blast with it.
Just my opinion.
I think he is using games or games from a series that have some popularity.
Prototype was just bad.
I think a little bit of shovelware is inevitable. Half of the popular games on Wii are shovelware, because that's what the casual gamers will buy.
Move is primarily intended to appeal to casual gamers, so expect games that appeal as well.
It doesn't mean anything if Sony never released it.
Either way, Nintendo got 70 million worth of console sales out if it...
You can spin it any way you want. Nintendo beat Sony tot he punch. I'm looking forward to Move, but its not going to be anywhere near as popular as Wii.
Edit:
It also doesn't help that the Move controller looks so much like the WiiMote.
If it bored the sh*t out of him then he wouldn't be doing it.
I haven't tried to get platinum in numerous games because it wasn't worth the effort.
Playing a video game in the first place means nothing in the span of one's life, so why are trophies such a bad thing.
I agree though that playing a game that you enjoy to get trophies is a lot different than playing a game like Hannah Montana just to up your trophy count.
You could compare it to people playing MW2. Some people camp to get a high K/D or prestige, and then some people actually earn the prestige by actually getting better. Either way, that ...
I am having a blast with this game. IT deserves to sell a lot more.
UC2 which if I do recall got game of the year was as linear as Alan Wake.
"People probably just optimistically checked 'Yes' without really thinking, "Would I spend $300+ for Natal?". "
You are trying to disprove one assumption with another.
stop being a douche bag fanboy
just because the N4G PS3 fanboys aren't interested in Natal doesn't mean no one else is.
Edit:
And also because most users of N4G (mostly "hardcore" gamers) aren't interested, doesn't mean no one else is.
How many people here are really into the Wii, definitely the minority, and look how bad the Wii is smashing the 360 and PS3 in sales.
Fact is, MS, Sony, and Nintendo are not looking for just the a...
I think the term "development" is taken way to literally.
I highly doubt the level of development was the same in year 5 as it was in year 1.
Especially when you consider that GTA4 was released 2 years ago with 2 subsequent DLC packs.
@ HAnk Hill
N4G fanboy hype is a little different than regular media hype.
You are right on the money AKNAA
If R* said "Terrible parents' buy our games for kids without teaching them the differences between video games and real life," instead of "Terrible parents' buy our games for kids," they would be right.
I played many a violent game underage, but you don't see me acting on those experiments. My parents taught me right and wrong. They also taught me to take responsibility for my actions, somethin...
@ Cez of Rage
Take your fanboyism out of this please.
The fact is, it is the parent's fault. Its not R*'s job to make sure kids are raised properly, its the parent's responsibility.
You sound like the type of person that blames everything on other people instead of taking responsibility for your own actions.
Do you blame gun makers when some idiot shoots someone?
I would love to know how old you are. My paren...
If this article was talking about ANY PS3 game, good or bad (oh sorry i forgot, the PS3 never has bad games), Killerapp would have all agrees.
your fanboy logic is so flawed
How does Mario get a free pass?
The last Mario Galaxy won GOTY and you are questioning the good reviews of the game. So if the reviews are saying that SMG2 is even better than the first and you haven't even played it, who are you to say that they are giving it a free pass for giving it a 10?
I will say that UC2 definitely deserved a 10 in graphics, but by your logic every game on any hand-held system that isn't up to par with PS3 games do not deserve ...
I agree that the size issue changed the game for sure (in a bad way), but i think for all the people who complain about physically changing the discs Dread makes a good point.
Yeah i agree about reviews being a little iffy, but to see so many give the game an average score was a little confusing to me.
