This game makes me sad inside. I wish they would put the effort into DOA 5.
The good old days...
Might as well toss the NES in there, too. The only thing that Nintendo's seal of quality meant was that Nintendo had gotten a kickback for licensing the lockout chip and that they were exclusively manufacturing the carts. It had nothing to do with actual quality.
Right on, AEtherbane.
Come on Cueil, there's probably 90 percent of the PS3 and 360's libraries that are mediocre to pure crap as well. Only a small percentage of titles for any platform are the ones that people remember and talk about. Unless titles like Brain Challenge Deluxe and Fairytale Fights are what you bought your next-gen, high-definition console for.
I pretty much only buy Nintendo-developed games for my Wii. I think their product is superior to pretty much anything else on the platform. I play New Super Mario Bros so much that you wouldn't believe it.
I think that Nintendo has learned to let go of the conventional idea of games and go on imagination, and that's something that practically every other developer struggles with. Games, for the most part, have become a formula for making money. You hold a controller a certain way...
The only distinction between "casual game players" and "gamers" is anecdotal at best. It's something that we often tell ourselves so that we feel better about criticizing a market that's worth more than a billion dollars to hardware manufacturers and developers. Why do you think we see so much attention from Sony and Microsoft on copying what Nintendo has done? Because they know that those people are likely to spend more money to play games than what we consider "game...
Either it was all that stuff you just said, or HD-DVD wasn't ready for mass-market production when the 360 released. The first commercially available player was released in Japan more than 5 months after the 360 and cost nearly $1,000 USD. The first North American models release for no less than $500.
But I'm sure it was just Microsoft being stupid.
Actually, I think the submitter was pointing out how silly people get over this stuff, hence the word "infuriate." Just shows that people are never happy and look for the dumbest things to argue over. Which is what I was talking about. Every time someone whines that "X country is not the world" it shows how completely dense they are.
It was a pretty nice, albeit poorly edited, article. Steam on Mac is going to be a good thing. But I continue to have problems seeing my iPod Touch as a serious gaming device. I just can't get into serious gaming on it.
It's extra true if you type "FACT" in all caps.
You know, I may be alone in this, but it reminds me a lot of the gameplay in Shenmue. Which may be one reason I like it so much.
Which game has the best graphics is strictly opinion. There's no IEEE graphics standard or anything that can be used to measure which game is in fact the best. Just what you like and don't like.
For me Uncharted 2 still holds the crown. The lush, vibrant environments are simply beautiful and I haven't seen any as eye-pleasing to date. But that's just my opinion. When I play GOW III I may change my mind. But unless the graphics have improved substantially over the E3 demo I doubt ...
What country must a review site be in before you can trust it?
A 12 hour game for the normal person usually translates into about 48 hours for me. So if I do pick it up I should enjoy it for quite a while.
Bring on the crackdown!
Very impressive overall numbers for the game. Not bad at all.
But, where are all of the lunatics ranting that the UK is not the world like they do every time NPD numbers come out? Wait! Most of them are typically in Europe, so they must think that Europe is, in fact, the world. My mistake.
I haven't finished Mass Effect 2 yet.
Good to know that's cleared up. Now everyone's free to make up whatever rumors they wish. Gives us all something to argue over in the future.
So trying to protect intellectual property rights is bad and vandalizing websites is good?
Just making sure I have it straight.
