I know it's hard to admit that Killzone 3 actually wasn't as good as the second.
It was the crouching in the grass stealth sections that took me out of KZ3, that and the main characters bright ideas to go against orders as much as possible.
Aim assist, it comes in lots of different forms. Hell, if I aim across the grass and someone is prone there your cursor will slow and try to stick with the guy prone. I've also had plenty of times where I would line up a shot and another enemy would cross across and the game would decide it was going to follow him instead of the guy aiming at me.
M/KB lets everything be dictated by you, there is no input from the game. You will also see that like with the Wiimote and Play...
Well would you look at that, Bad Company 2 is still in the top20 top sellers on Steam. It's also played more on the PC, BF2 and 2142 still have communities, hell I can still install 1942 and jump into a game.
The heart and soul is with the PC, and the PC version will inevitably sell more over time then the console version. EA knows this, they saw it happen with Crysis another game that ate the average computer for breakfast in 2007.
Don't downplay PC ...
Pick the right parts and it without a doubt will, unless you're looking at running it max'd out at 2560*1600.
The problem isn't with Metacritic or the average, the problem lies in people using Metacritic as a absolute indicator that one game is better then another. I can't stand it when people base their argument for game X over game Y simply because of the number.
The gameplay is boring, it looks awful (I've only played the PC version) and the two weapon thing is so annoying I can't even describe it.
least I could get into a game with SOCOM 4 and Killzone 3. I'm still at the matchmaking screen, and the game hard froze my PS3 on the menu. Hurray.
Let me tell you guys a story:
When I was young, the Teenage mutant Ninja Turtles Movie was released, 1990 to be exact. It had my favorite Mutant Ninja's fighting shredder, the foot clan and all that kinda jazz. As a child, I would do my best to imitate the turtles while watching the movie. Jumping off the couch, on the couch etc etc..made quite the mess. My parents saw this and simply said I couldn't watch the movie anymore, hiding the VHS somewhere.
Oddly en...
Most of those PC fuckfaces you refer to also play console games...we know what happens on both sides of the fence. Excuse us for expecting and wanting more from franchises and developers who we expect more from.
Slt is correct, what resolution and amounts of AA. 1,000 would get you a decent PC, and it would certainly be more then enough for Crysis 2, post DX11 patch.
The nature of the game makes it pretty easy on the hardware, no massive levels to render from a high mountain. Just a linear street, or some other straight and narrow path.
You're a little off, it all depends on the resolution. If you're just playing games on your tv at 1280*720 you would be surprised at how little you need to spend to get performance and detail levels far beyond the consoles are capable of.
No one needs to buy 300 dollar motherboards or the highest end processors for gaming. A Core i5 750 or Phenom X4 will still run anything and everything incredibly well, no matter the resolution.
So really the 600 dol...
The textures aren't awful compared to the first, the physics aren't awful compared to the first, the AI isn't awful compared to the first. The skins and player models are also AWFUL compared to the first game.
It's an awful game and that's what PC gamers are upset about. I expect more out of my sequels, not less. I also expect features to be present at launch, not held back so other platforms aren't put off.
In North America it's Soccer, get over it. Someone says football, I think Madden, NFL, CFL etc. It's nothing personal, it's just the name for it here.
They already had a Horde type mode in BC2. Also, specific Coop missions are not new or special to Modern Warfare 2.
Btw, splitscreen BF3 and it still looks leagues better then CoD on the consoles.
Great library of games, Cheap hardware prices, cheap software prices and the fact that Vita doesn't have a UMD drive so all my PSP games would be useless. It's just like PSone classics, I'm not buying the game twice for the privilege to play a game without disks.
Why wouldn't someone want to get a PSP now? It's possibly the best time to do it.
Yep, Streets of Rage 2 is fun. It was fun when it came out, it's fun now. The visuals especially in a beat em up don't necessarily detract from the game.
Just like MAG this will do more then any other console shooter this generation, yet because it doesn't "look" as good as KZ3 or CoD it will be hated on for that. Though the game is more then the same arena style, linear path following boredom.
Doesn't matter what the cost is, I'm more then excited to shoot down some stupid ship in Orbit.
No one said we wanted Sony published games, I was fine with Crash only being on my PS1 the same way that I am more then fine with uncharted or Killzone only being available on my PS3.
It's when publishers take games like Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex, IL-2 Sturmovik (Cliffs of Dover), Supreme Commander, Quake etc Develop them into something that vaguely resembles the original slap a beloved PC franchise name on it and expect it to sell.
The first Crysis sold...
It's so far in the future I don't think they were looking at images from 1942 saying "Naw, NAW we can't do that! They look like SS stormtroopers...with glowing eyes!"
I do agree though, the Helghan don't make much sense and the reasoning behind them staying on the planet and not colonizing somewhere new I don't think is ever explained. Considering they have ships...in space, this never made much sense to me.
