I think these would have worked well enough...
99 Nights - Klarann (Fought off evil, massive transforming weapon, great physical combinations)
Gears - Marcus or RAAM (Marcus could work, have him work like a stryker style character, chainsaw/flamethrowers could be brutal)
Too Human - Baldur (He is a god, he is from a melee heavy game, he has a variety of skills at his disposal)
Lost Odyssey - Kaim (A tragic character, who is used to pain and confli...
I don't get why there is mixed hate for this game.
The story may be more centralized, but the way it covers prejudice is sublime. The characters are much more fleshed out and engaging, having more personality than most of the original cast. The only area that was really lacking was the love interests. Outside of that, a great story.
The combat is leagues ahead of the original. Fast paced, higher tempo mayhem beat the older "tactical" mode (a...
Bulletstorm is a horrible comparison, as its design was a more light hearted, comical FPS that bases it premise on the "kill with skill" idea. It was never heralded or hyped as anything else.
KZ3 is a console defining title (or supposed to be) for Sony, thus it will have higher expectations to live up to.
I can't agree or disagree with the author, I haven't played KZ3. Either way, if you enjoyed it, doesn't matter what this guy says....
Yes, this is definitely a scarce year for the 360. But they do have time to pull some magic out of the hat. If they don't, THIS is the year Sony has enough guns to pass them and nab second place. Although imo Sony has learned a lot this generation. Even with two cycles of dominance, even a leader can fall if they have a few years at an insane price with a handful of worthy titles. I am glad to see they got their senses back, made it affordable, and pumped out a lot of exclusive titles lik...
Fanboys on both sides have so many jackass things it isn't even worth keeping track.
My advice to gamers in general is to quit raping sales charts and comparisons lists, relax, grab a controller and have some fun gaming.
Although it doesn't really matter to the average gamer (or shouldn't) this will sell better on the 360.
1 - The ps3 has a much larger stable of titles coming out this year, while the 360 only has a few (gears and forza for this holiday season). This means people who play on the 360 will be more eager to try out certain multiplats.
2 - Me1 was on the 360/pc only and Me2 was on the 360/pc only until recently. The series has had more time to grow a b...
Your series failed, let it go. Rock Band was the blantantly better product in everyway which was one of the factors in the GH demise.
Try working on a new IP sometime, instead of milking your current series to death yea? Well, hopefully a better attempt at a new IP than that horrid driving/zombie mashup (cant remember its name).
Hell yes ! DNF is bringing the fun back to the FPS genre.
Good to see a game who isn't taking itself too seriously and is just focusing on the fun factor. The combat looks kick ass, the humor seems simple but amusing, and making this game longer than the normal 6-10 hours is great.
Hail to the king indeed.
Lenneth (Valkyrie Profile)
Shepard (ME)
Warden (Dragon Age)
Jill Valentine (RE)
Jade (BG&E)
Samus (PRE-OM)
Lightning (FF13)
Shanoa (Castlevania)
And thats just off the top of my head. Now try to name that many quality "black" protagonists. Take your time. If ANY "group" has the right to bitch (debateable point) it would be thiers.
Hell, scratch that. Try to name that m...
In this generation alone, activision has released...
GH2 (360), GH3, GH WT, GH Metallica, GH Aerosmith, GH Van Halen, Band Hero, and GH 5. I am not 100% sure but I thought there was a pop hero too.
Did no one think that activision MIGHT be saturating the GH brand and that the flood of "hero" games would bring the franchise down? I am amazed it took that long.
GH3 was the last great GH imo, so I am not sad to see this series go...
I think its hilarious how so many people are bashing the announcements before they are even made.
That being said, I would like to see...
- Alan Wake 2 (the first is just .05 mil shy of the million mark, pretty good for a slow starting sales title)
- Crackdown 3 (if they dont rush the product. 2 was fun but needed more mission variation, new environment)
- Halo CE HD (I never played the first, this would be sweet incentive to)
-...
Does no one pay attention to the story of ME2?
Miranda was enhanced to be the ultimate weapon. She was taught lethal skills, had biotic enhancements, AND was physically enhanced in terms of her asthetics. It was to enable her to be able to take down an opponent by force or by seduction.
THIS IS MENTIONED IN HER DIALOGUE WITH SHEPARD !
I can understand if someone wants to cry about oversexualization, but at lease pick a game that does i...
I hope more people take a look at this post. A gamer who happens to be female sharing a simple but novel idea - everyone gets crap from the net.
Either dont play competetive (I enjoy co-op w friends over typical deathmatch but to each thier own) or as the user said, grow some balls.
I wouldn't say it's a boys club per se but your post hits close to the point.
Competetive online play is a cesspool of hate and ignorance. There are cool people who play it, true, but I have never heard the words fag, nigger, cunt, and fuck more in my life than in one night spent online.
However, that is the standard for ALL gamer, the cesspool treats all equally in the sense that evryone has to deal with it.
If "girl gamer...
Another rawr girl gamer article? Yawn...
Let me know when the kids cut the crap and just play the game for fun.
And yes, I get that SOME girls get harassing messages on live, psn, and the net. The majority get treated like royalty. Go to a gaming social network and see how much help every girl gets on trophies or achievements. See how much love they get on any general area of the net. Hell, look on this article and see how many guy rush in with "ohh ...
This DID sell like it deserved. It was a short, medoicre game with shoddy gameplay. I don't care how amazing atmosphere or writing might be (even then, its not like they are Bioware amazing) if the GAMEPLAY is subpar, the GAME shouldn't sell. HS was subpar, Ens was subpar, and I am sure they will ruin DMC too. NT sucks.
No, it really isn't. No ONE title is worth trading in a system for. And if there was a PS3 title worth switching over for, I would be amazed one would argue KZ instead of UC.
The 360 has had a solid history of quality titles, with games like lost odyssey, alan wake, gears, halo, forza, fable, crackdown and more. I have loved gaming on the 360.
Also, the PS3 has had a bevy of awesome titles, many of them with new entries coming in 2011.
<...
I agree, as were the "journalists" who called the 360 doomed.
At the end of the day, each console has done amazing this gen.
The 360 grabbed market share from Sony and has done MUCH better than its predecessor.
The PS3 has bounced back from a rough start and is almost in 2nd place.
The Wii revitalized nintendos home console market and dominated (saleswise)
Each group has done very well. I ...
Good I will make sure to buy another company's product when this comes out.
You want to gimp the co-op SE that's fine. I want to pay developers to make fun games.
(they wont allow anyone but host to make progress in the game for co-op, gear loot etc)
Those gamers who grew up and gamed during that era of difficulty (such as myself) have now grown up.
Many of us have jobs, wives, children, part time schooling, etc. We don't have the same 6+ hour intervals to play a game repeatedly for the sake of "satisfaction"
Save points allow us to play a game within the time windows that works for us. Just my opinion anyways.
Although I do understand how beating a really hard (someti...
