"Forza is superior to Gran Turismo 5"
This is a statement I'm gonna be laughing at all night long. I guess Hilary Goldstein prefers arcade racers.
"How to Make Your Girl a Gamer"?
Thats easy. Just introduce her to one of the gimmicks. (Wii, Kinect, or PS Move) These devices were designed to get the attention of non gamers.
"Much better games sell a lot less. Therefore quality has no bearing on the sales of CoD."
+bubbels for this comment
Well for one thing. There aren't Killzone games every year. Secondly, Battlefield games have a lot more objectives than COD games making the game atleast feel more meaningful.
Call Of Duty represents everything thats wrong with this generation of gaming. The franchise is just a simple mindless game, that gets rehashed every year, but its constantly rewarded with high sales so therefore, that means they will keep rehashing game. Its like gift wrapping a turd and it just somehow sells like crazy.
Judging from those two games. Sounds to me like you dont like actually driving real cars and doing so with real life performance.
Until a Forza game actually outsells a GT game.
Until racing enthusiasts praise Forza like they currently do the GT series (they can atleast mention Forza).
Until real car dealerships praise Forza like they do GT.
Until real race car drivers praise Forza like they do GT.
FORZA IS NOT EVEN IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS THE GT FRANCHISE.
Forza is just a yearly rehashed game. Forza 3 has been out for awhile, and it hasnt even outsold GT5:P...
Uncharted and Resistance are 2 new franchises this gen.
Unfortunately for you and Microsoft. Metascores doesnt have anything to do with real gamers. A real gamer doesn't use scores to determine whats good or not.
"Its still a microsoft exclusive."
No its not. Microsoft doesnt own the PC platform.
"Microsoft, like every big company tries to make the most money they can.... and let fanboys discuss between them selfs if a product is exclusive or not."
Wrong. Every company does try to make the most money they can. BUT. Which companies actually cares about something else besides just "money". What about also having a high quality product? By them offering Kinect on the PC just degrades the xbox 360. Once the Kinect is available on the PC, there is now...
Well if history repeats itself, it will be slightly more powerful than the PS3. The PSP is slightly more powerful than the PS2. So it would not be a surprise.
I gotta disagree with you there. I care more about high quality products, then some cheap product with a gimmick. I'm glad Sony seems to think the way I do. So what if Nintendo sells more and the DS is cheaper? Why judge a product by its sales instead of judging it by its actual quality?
Yeah I agree. The game is simply outstanding and very underrated. And this is comming from someone that doesn't like Call of duty games.
Uncharted 3 is gonna own the entire year next year. It doesnt even matter when it comes out. This game along with The Elder Scrolls IV is gonna be the best year for gaming period.
I guess you believe that only the U.S.A exist and that gaming doesnt ever happen no where but in the U.S.
"so what about mass effect 2,metro 2033,alan wake,crackdown 2,splinter cell and fable 3...because when i last looked im pretty sure you can't play any of them on the ps3 as it stands??"
The problem is that Mass Effect 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction are not xbox 360 exclusives. The article is talking about "exclusives".
I'll tell you this as plain an simple as it could be. Forza is garbage and cannot be compared to the GT franchise. I mean, there is a reason why the GT franchise is the most celebrated and decorated racing sim on the consoles.
"but they also need to advertize more"
How much more do you people want sony to advertise?? They already got Gran Turismo 5 and PS move commercials on TV every single day. I guess people wont be satisfied until Sony starts coming to your house and talking to you personally.
I don't have a problem with mario and Zelda games every year as these are legendary gaming icons. But why dont Nintendo concentrate on new IPs/games to go along with the Mario, Zelda, and Donkey Kong franchises?
