I can honestly say I have never bought a CoD.... ever. The last Activision game I bought was Prototype, and before that was Spider-Man on the PS2.
Now we know which exclusives you like. Throw in a Sandbox (InFamous) and an RPG, and, while I may not 100% agree (not a fan of fps) I can deal.
I won some Matthew Sweet tickets about 15 years ago. Haven't won anything before or since.
What makes it really sad is I wasn't able to attend the concert.
I clicked Agree because most of your statement is true. Your statement implying that trophies/achievements are for people who are willing to grind isn't 100% accurate. The best trophies are the ones that encourage exploring; whether it's new areas, new ways to play, or just pulling off crazy tricks. But trophies like Trail of Corpses in Prototype (50k+ kills) are definitely about grinding. But then there are trophies like Head Hunter (3 headshots in quick succession in Infamous 2) whi...
There was a ps2 game about a red galaxy?
Oh wait... you mean ROGUE Galaxy.... right?
Addendum: I don't mind being challenged. It's frustration I can't stand.
I will play on Easy Difficulty the first time, to get a feel for the controls and take in the story. Then I keep notching up the difficulty until I find a place where I'm challenged, but not so much that I rage quit. Or I go back and try to get secondary or optional objectives.
The truth is I prefer tricky to outright hard. Tomb Raider and Portal are tricky. The bulk of the work...
Exactly. Since every other hobby worth mentioning is more a foray into the land of frustration and stress, why should video games be any different?
We don't play video games to relax after a long day at work/school, we play video games to be PUNISHED. So PUNISH us you wimpy ass developers. Make death inevitable and then take away all of our stuff for getting killed. Frustrate us; we enjoy it. We're not totally relaxed and enjoying ourselves unless we're sick with frustrat...
Haha you beat me.
If you shoot them in the knee, then they have to take jobs with the city watch.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead.

I figured that. Probably should have said so in my first reply. :)
As for Rodrigo, as much as I enjoyed kicking his fat punk ass all over Il Vaticano, I got more satisfaction slicing up his son Cesare. Bastard shot Uncle Mario.
Yeah. But the Volkswagen doesn't really make up for the 11-17 million people buried in mass graves or stacked like rotten wood.
General Patton was so furious when he saw Dachau.
And the Soviets after they got to Auschwitz? There's a reason general Zhukov was so keen to get to Berlin.
I'll half agree. It looks interesting. I just don't want to get too hyped.
What if it sucks?
Mine is posting comments on N4G.
Oh, you were talking about games? Angry Birds and Tetris. And some of the free Minis from PS+.
I'm standing on the roof of Bartolomeo's quarters right now. It looks like the buildings are 2-4 stories. Some have domes on top and there are the bell towers.
But, overall, 2-4 stories is the norm.
18th century New York will be fine, but I think #1.1.7 is more accurate. All Desmond all the time. And back in NYC, where he was originally taken by Abstergo? He comes full circle.
Il Colosseo wasn't as much a WOW moment for me as the view from the top of Galata Tower. Much better than the view from Giotto's Campanile or Castello Santangelo, though those were pretty impressive, as well.
As for the setting: I could play as Amunet in ancient Egypt for all I care, as long as it's as packed with stuff to do as AC2 was.
So at worst, it would look like San Gimignano, except without all the towers. At best: Manhattan island, 1773, had a population of over 6000. So no great big skyscrapers, but they weren't in six foot mud huts either. The buildings will be fine. No worse than the ones in Rome or Forli.
And, this was about the time when muskets started giving way to rifles. The first sniper was a revolutionary soldier.
Exactly. It's InFamous, LBP and Metal Gear Solid for me. I haven't gotten around to Uncharted YET.
As for the 360, I'm happy with what I have. It's not a fanboy thing, just not really interested in the games.
I came to this article all ready to report it for trolling, but the author was actually fair and factual. He came down in favor of Xbox Live and the PS3 controllers.
Edit: nevermind. I do have to report it.
People playing CoD and Battlefield then signing up to be front line infantry would be like me auditioning for Metallica after playing an hour of Guitar Hero. Or getting a job as an airline pilot after playing Flight Simulator.
Beating CoD doesn't mean your aim is good.
Beating Wii Golf doesn't make you Tiger Woods
Beating Apples to Apples doesn't make you a farmer
Watching UFC won't make you any harder.
Friends on MySpace wo...
Those errors were too consistent to be anything but deliberate.
