My clanmates and I had some fun exploring the innards of Tharsis last week. We never do it in a ranked game, considering the possibilities for punishment, but there are so many awesome spots for the ISA... especially if you're getting spawn camped.
...make me laugh.
God, if that wasn't the most idiotic statement I've read in a while.
... is what we like to call "reductio ad absurdum."
MattG, you're an utter fool.
Agreed. A lack of marketing can hurt the sales, but a lack of marketing and uncontrolled hype can destroy them. Killzone 2 had both, and I don't understand why Sony hasn't learned this yet.
Now, I love KZ2. I play it online more often than I ever did CoD4, and that's saying a lot. And I don't care if it only sells 2 million. But I really wish games of this quality actually sold what they deserved so developers would keep pushing them out instead of cross-genre remakes (Halo Wars)...
But it works both ways. Hackers may know how the browser ticks and therefore how best to exploit it, but security experts will also know best how to protect it.
And contributors listen to both :)
Pipelining may speed up Firefox, but the problem is it's crazy memory usage. Firefox by itself uses more resources than any other browser (aside from maybe IE), but when you include add-ons, it gets worse.
I multitask. A lot. With resource-heavy programs (ArcGIS, for one). Running Firefox, my preferred browser, is not possible when I'm working. Opera is much better, but Chrome is by far the best.
Really? I promise you, I did miss a clan match in Killzone 2 :) It's likely that the rest of my team and the other clan did, too, but there's nothing to disagree with.
Well, at least I didn't miss my KZ2 clan tournament because of my personal network.
You shut your dirty mouth.
Now the Water Temple? THAT was overrated.
I'm glad they're improving it, but just call me when I can stop using Playfire's "Add your own Trophies" widget.
Three cheers for Bungie! You brought shooters to the console mainstream and for that, I thank you!
You're an idiot.
That is, unless you're also being sarcastic with your post, in which case you're a freakin' genius. Can never tell with you, though.
Yeah, I wish the controls were a *little* tighter, but it's nothing gamebreaking. My k/d ratio is sitting around 1.4, much improved from my first few matches, so it seems like I'll be settling in around 1.75 or 1.8 once I hit General. Took my just as long to get adjusted to the controls in BF:BC, and I got into that game just after I finished up with CoD4.
... for quoting that so I wouldn't have to!
The game fits on a 25gig Blu-ray disc... not that this has anything to do with the topic of the article.
This is a point I've been pondering for the last few months. I'm working on a browser MMO (probably won't be anything big, if I ever get around to finishing it) and one of my goals has been to include a... sense of self-preservation into the game, a finite persistence.
If you play war games like Resistance 2 or CoD:WaW, you notice that the soldiers we play don't act like real soldiers. Most are willing to rush into a group of enemies and take down one or two before dying themselv...
Did you actually listen to his blog post? Or did you just read the cherry-picked quotes from the last few articles on this subject? Who cares if he's made a good game (GoW was a good game, but that doesn't really matter) -- he's a gamer and we are all critics of the work we experience.
Listen to his blog post and tell me, honestly, how you think he's criticizing other people's work. He said MGS4 was a great game, and he loved the story, but that there's still something lacking. M...
Those had great stories... for video games. They still don't hold water against the greatest movies or books.
There are certainly games that tell good stories, but Jaffe's point seemed to be that the overall strength of these stories (to pull an emotional response from the audience) isn't fully developed yet. I have no doubt that it will be, and there are games that have come close, but even MGS4 missed the boat in some areas (and yes, I've played the damn game).
A rank for 5,000 points, 10,000 points and 100,000 points each. Nothing special, just bragging rights. Sorta like the prestige ranks in CoD4, except you don't lose your unlocks.
