because Treyarch is back at the helm of Call of Duty for the fifth installment of the game. Come CoD6 once Infinity Ward gets the game back I think we'll see another modern warfare. Honestly I think it would be best to either give Infinity Ward the CoD franchise or to just branch the franchise. Let Treyarch do CoD World War edition, and let Infinity Ward continue their Modern Warfare Edition. Instead I think we're now left w/ a Treyarch [WW] Infinity Ward [Modern] trade off. Treyarch one year...
My complaint is this... if he's so against assigning numerical scores then why not shut the hell up and write a review, score it, "read the review." Play has recently taken that stance and others need to as well. The numerical, alphabetical scoring system we all know is utterly flawed. Having just a review to read, as that's what gaming journalism is, would be the best way to go about reviewing games.
Also, by his own admission Metal Gear Solid in general isn't his cup...
I think for the most part it's that they don't like the game. I've never liked MGS much. Not my style of game but I still have bought MGS2, MGS2 Sub, MGS 3 Sub, and now MGS4 w/ only really playing about half of MGS2. However even in disliking it I can still give it credit for which it's due. I can look outside the box of my personal taste to give credit to any game that deserves it. And I think the problem w/ reviews is often the reviewer forgets that they should be reviewing the game for wha...
yeah, Treyarch developed CoD3. If I'm not mistaken they're also working on CoD5, or World at War as it's officially titled. Activision just needs to give IW this franchise to run with. I think they proved they have the talent and minds to lead this series... ;) Not only was CoD2 awesome but Modern Warfare took this franchise to an entirely new league...
While utterly average and not as good as the 2nd I enjoyed CoD3 quite a bit. Not enough to drop $60 on it but it was/is still o...
well, I'd honestly be hard pressed to even say it's bringing in new gamers. At least not in the sense that it's going to benefit the industry. Nintendo yes, a few developers, possibly but the industry at large? No. I'm sorry but when the old folks home has one for rec night, and when my parents went out and bought one [Wii Sports] I hardly see it as something helping gaming. And while A LOT of gamers do own a Wii just as many non gamers have bought one as well. These people, while technically...
yeah, I'll give him $700 for it. $600 for the PS3, $90 for the signatures, and $10 to him for wasting his time in line thinking he'd make a bundle...
really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really old...
many, if not all their receivers also have a GUI [Graphic User Interface] that's somewhat similar to the XMB.
that's the problem... A lot of games get special editions. While Limited Editions seem to be a little more rare. Before every special edition was dubbed Limited Edition but more companies seem to be moving for special edition. As you pointed out though, more often than not they're not really all that limited to begin with. When it comes to Limited Edition games I have no problem if they're actually limited. But don't tag a Special Edition of a game Limited and produce 500k+ copies of it. That...
actually it's not... I contacted Bart Stupak [MI] a few years ago when this exclusive NFL deal went into place. I got one stating he'd send a letter to the anti trust guys, and a follow up from them.
I don't recall the specifics but To sum it up the government has allowed major sports many advantages over traditional business. Because of this they are free to do what they want with their properties and pretty much run their business uncontested by government. And at the sole di...
not only is the video pretty lame in that it's comparing 2 totally different games, but it doesn't even use proper snips from each game to compare. But from video alone you can't really judge the difference between these two games anyway. You have to sit down and play both for more than an hour to appreciate them...
At first I thought Sigma was hands down better looking but after getting deeper into NG 2 I realized that it too has it's strong points [in graphics]. I'd hate to sa...
that's the thing... I'm not big on buying movies and there's very few in any given year I care about. So more often than not it's either a movie I'll buy for $20, or something I'll catch sometime down the road when it is on HBO, etc. I buy very few movies in any given year though. But why pay $7 to rent it when you can own it for $20? Personally I'd rather spend the extra money, watch it when I get around to watching it, and have it there to watch whenever I want to watch it. And when it does...
pretty hypocritical... HD vs Blu Ray they pull out the we should offer consumers choice. Now that Blu Ray wins they're all about DVD and Downloads are the future. Can you blame them though? They have a stake in downloadable rentals via XBL. Why offer a Blu Ray player that will make them little money when they can continue to push rentals via XBL as their main HD video source... either way I don't really care. I have a PS3, I have a 360, and I'll be damned if I ever pay for a downloadable rent...
definitely unfortunate... guess I'll finally have to go buy the 360 version of Eternal Sonata since it's only $40. I was holding out and looking forward to getting it for my PS3 though.
we still have Disgaea 3, White Knight and a few others to look forward to though. ;)
Lol, that list was awful... then again, different strokes for different folks. Maybe some girlfriends do like those games... I certainly know my girl wouldn't pick up a controller to play most of them. Guitar Hero [any], Rock Band, Spyro, Madden, MLB the Show, sure thing. But Halo 3, Marvel, The Simpson, DOA, Lego anything, and Viva Pinata, never. She did get a kick out of me playing Viva but never in a million years is that one she'd pick up and play... awful might be a far cry but that list...
Exactly.
So much for a May release of the demo. It would have been great to have last week [May 18-25]. I'm leaving for Minnesota [Yankees game Monday Night] but as soon as I get back next week I'll be cracking out on Ninja Gaiden II. Hopefully I'll have it done once MGS4 drops the week after. Not planning on it but even if I can knock it out in 2 weeks I'll be happy. ;)
little off topic: Thing that sucks is I'm on the last leg of Lost Odyssey and will probably hav...
@ $600 it'll even leave the hardest of die hard MGS fans sitting on the couch. America isn't keen on special edition consoles, especially when they come at a premium price. Give them some trivial content and call a Special/Limited Edition game and you're sold. But consoles, not so much. As much as I'd like to order one I already have a 60 GB PS3 [w/ 180 GB hd]. Plus if I did buy it this would be one item I wouldn't want to open anyway...
Now as far as the price is concerned. You...
does it really matter though? Especially when arcade games are rated and reviewed like a full price disc game? The few reviews I've looked at about arcade titles on XBL or PSN have been very harsh on some of these very solid Arcade Games. A few have got the praise, or close to it that they deserve but most get idiotic comments like "this game has very little to offer." Hello! These are arcade games. They're not suppose to offer the same things retail games offer. When reviewing arca...
Marcus Fenix is #9 WORST. So what's the big deal again?
Certainly not the pic I would have used but to each his own...
They do have some good pics for worst characters. I don't think I can argue with any of the worst. Although there are some that imo would be better suited for best character that didn't make the list... Oh well, to each his own...
I think they're doing this because now they do have Assassins Creed, and they didn't want two eerily similar games. Perhaps this gen will go Assassins Creed, PoP, AC2, PoP 2, followed by the final chapter of both. Then next gen they'll pull out some comment like there's many different stories to tell in the Assassins Creed universe and we'll see something different there. Lol...
Honestly I don't know what to think. On one had I want to be excited about PoP but on the other Warrio...
I'd expect that if they don't want independent MS would scoop them up and create a development house for them. And if they do want to be independent I'd imagine they'll somehow get MS to help fund them. Even as an independent studio it's obvious they'll be creating exclusive 360 titles. Maybe even branching out and creating something on the DS. Whatever it is you can count on anything they now do not coming to the Playstation...
But the biggest question is this. How do they now g...
