In short, no.
If Snake had died, there would have been no mammoth of a plot twist. And that moment sticks out for me the most as being incredibly memorable. In a few years I may not remember all the intricacies about nanomachines, or who betrayed who, but I will always remember standing up and pointing at the TV screen with my mouth hanging open. I may have also screamed and stammered, my mind was all over the place by that point.
And then I got to relive it when I watched my friend finish the...
"and it went Gears of War in the sense that it strayed too far away from the original."
Gears strayed too far from the original? How? It was practically the exact same game with new levels. The only thing missing was the Hammer of Dawn and I hardly think that's straying too far. I, personally, enjoyed Gears 2 much more than I enjoyed the first.
But yes, you are right that Resistance 2 strayed too far away from Fall of Man. However, I don't think that's a re...
Did you even read my comment? I said the >series< has a good story that's been told poorly (which is exactly what you describe).
Do you even know the backstory about the Helghast, the ISA, and Earth? It's surprisingly deep. The universe would make a great setting for a novel or film.
One of the themes they completely abandoned after the first game was the theme that there are no good guys and bad guys in war. The ISA completely mistreat the Helghast, and the He...
If Sony does a dual screen, I will never buy it. I'm okay with touch screen, as long as every dev doesn't go crazy with it.
On the PSP, Sony currently appeals more to the hardcore than the DS. They've found a niche in the market. If they start getting too gimmicky, they will fail.
Sony needs to concentrate on bringing awesome, home-console-like experiences on the go, along with various multimedia features.
I like what Nintendo does with their handhelds, ...

Been waiting to say that for long? It's like you have a grudge against a great game for being great. I mean, you seriously made fun of the game for having cutscenes. Cutscenes, I might add, that are regarded as the best in the industry. UC2 is far from MGS, 98% of the time you're playing.
And UC2 had a lot of stealth, actually. There are several entire areas where I can use stealth to take out everyone without being seen.
No, they don't play...
The Killzone series has an awesome story (or backstory, anyway), but it's never told in a compelling way. In fact, it's hardly ever told at all. The concept has so much potential, but the story always takes a backseat to the limited scope of the main squad.
The first Killzone did a halfway decent job, but the second game could have been so much better in the story department. It's my hope that they'll give the third game a solid narrative, because there's been a lot of wasted pot...
Yeah, but the Office's reference to United Offensive was after it was old news. 2 years after is hardly product placement, unless they just wanted to build the Call of Duty name.
And actual footage fits better on a live action show than it does on an animated one.
Castlevania looks good in all but the first screen. Color me impressed.
I don't know how you got a disagree, but you're spot on. Good work!
Does your Xbox 360 stand vertically?
Well..you have to admit, the gun looks good.
But I'm having serious trouble believing this is real. This looks worse than MW2.
Perhaps it's just some kind of visual glitch or really low PC settings.
I'll wait to see it in motion (E3?).
You think you have too many games being a 360 only owner? I'm struggling to keep up with games on PS3 and 360. Not to mention I've been trying to catch up on PSP too. It's ridiculous how far behind I'm getting. Though I'll be playing this game next week.
Though I'm not at all looking forward to Crackdown 2, so that eases things a bit. I played a few hours of the first and it's still the worst game I've played this generation. I just didn't like it for some reason.
I like the pairing of "RPG" and "modern day design trends"...
There's a mine cart in Sonic 2...
Did you people actually play the classic Sonic games?
Well it certainly doesn't help that the player is terrible at this.
But come on, this isn't really a stretch for Sonic. Remember the Casino Zone in Sonic 2? It was basically pinball.
While I don't particularly agree with this design decision, I think the reaction is a little harsh.
Why in the world does i_am_interested have disagrees?
Was it the RAM comment?
If you pay attention, the prerendered cutscenes in God of War III all involve more environment than was loaded when you were just playing (before the cutscene started). In order to display that kind of epicness, the PS3 would have to load in that environment before it could display it in the cutscene. Instead, SSM uses the prerendered cutscene to load the next playable level so that you won...
Finally, someone else gets it.
Megacheak, PirateThom was specifically talking about Uncharted 2, God of War III, and MGS4. The three games that people are trying to throw around as a counter-argument. What people don't understand is that prerendered isn't the big deal here, it's the fact that Alan Wake has different high-rez models for cutscenes.
Heavenly Sword hasn't been in the graphical discussion for years. Clearly PirateThom wasn't talking about all PS3 exclusiv...
Before I clicked the link, I was beginning to regret my GT Bundle purchase. But after seeing those, the PSP's look pretty ugly. I'm glad I just have a silver 3000.
"150% correct...I've already stated this...No Exclusive game on either system will outsell Gears in 2011.."
Oh, now I'm excited for New Super Mario Bros. Wii 2 or whatever game Nintendo decides to release that year (Zelda?).
I believe that would make the title wrong on all accounts, wouldn't it?
Bu...Bu...Bu... TEH $ALES!!
