Uh what? Toke, toke, pass dude. I wouldn't even know where to start so I'll leave it alone.
I actually had a pretty good time with mercs 2 especially in co-op. Haze is just horrible and I was one who was looking forward to the title but after a few minutes I wondered why it was even released in its current condition.
I love Far Cry 2 (visually stunning) but it could use less manned checkpoints or at least don't resupply them two minutes after you kill everyone. I would have no issues if they were manned some time later but immediately is just lame and a big annoyance. More wildlife would be great too since I rarely see any quadrupeds. I'm sure a patch could fix these issues but that'll wait til MP is repaired yet again. I also enjoyed Viking and Dark Sector. I can't defend Haze because it is BAD and I hav...
I bought both games and love Dead Space while Mirror's Edge was a good game but has limited replay IMO. Dead Space has sold a little over 1 million copies per VGC so I'm not sure that equals a bad day for EA.
I beat the game soon after release and haven't played it since due to the horrendous MP. I will play it again to knock out the insane mode though because I do like the story mode. While the horde mode was fun for awhile the lack of enemy variety soon grew on me. I do hope they resolve the issues and am sure they will but the question is when and I'd guess it'll be early into 2009 before it gets done.
Some of their choices are way out there I'd say, like Fallout 3 and MGS4.
My top 10:
Fallout 3 - spent hundreds of hours wandering the wasteland
MGS4 - amazing graphics and gameplay. Too many cutscenes for my taste
Braid - thought-provoking puzzles and great visual styling
Dead Space - beautifully haunting and great surround sound. Dismemberment was never this fun b4
L4D - amazing MP and cooperation and communication is a must to survive
LBP - ...
I am still on a launch console (as is my brother) as well as an elite model and no RROD. I don't deny them but I personally don't know anyone who has experienced it. I have seen two in stores behind closed cabinets that have RROD though. If your on you 5th or 6th console then I'd say your at fault as much as the hardware. Some people need to use common sense with electronics and not stack a handful of powered units on top of each other and stick them behind a closed cabinet. My cabinet is cli...
I never surrender my iMac to any of you PC huggers. :)
It'll be interesting to see how the team brings the allegory to life since when the epic poem is read, people draw different conclusions from the author's hidden meanings. I also look forward to their artwork for the 1300's. I think that they can pull it off but it is a massive undertaking to bring such a classic work to gamers.
Amazing! It will look and play great - no doubt about that but I'm not sure if I like the idea of even more gunplay this time around which appears to be the case. The whole organized crime looking for artifacts is just silly on the whole. The cost for such operations rarely pays off in real life (yea yea it's a game but I'm an underwater archaeologist so I can't separate the too so easily) and while I like the limited story bits I've read, I'd prefer less gunplay and breakdancing bad guys in ...
I had Fallout 3 as my GOTY followed closely by MGS4. GTAIV isn't a bad game but it should never have gotten a score of 10/10 (no game should) and wasn't even in my top 5 for GOTY choices but I understand how it was able to win the award.
I rarely go in there anymore but I have noticed that they tend to push 360 more often. We have three local stores and one is excellent but the other two should be vacated. I have heard them blatantly lie and mislead "non-gamers" and I tend to interject and that really pisses them off but in a fun way for me. I understand it's a business but many of the employees are a$$es and I'm not one to stand around and let some poor grandma get ripped off either.
Now we know when the Xbox 720 releases - Fall 2010.
Haze is certainly in the right spot on that list. I can see Mercs 2 also but I did enjoy it but more polish would have been nice. I begrudgingly agree with MS2 also. I like the looks and gameplay but the damn track design is broken. You can barely tell where your heading but I also memorization has always been part of racing so I understand it as well. Can't comment on To Human because I haven't played it yet but plan on it.
Well pass the crack pipe. I can see on GTA4 being overrated but that is only my opinion and I know many people who love it so to each his own. There is no way in hell that the game deserved a 10/10.
Wow took only one post before comparing the lineup to the 360. Yeah and 2008 is the year of the PS3. Many of the exclusives this year have sucked on both PS3 and 360 so I don't throw too much credit into a consoles exclusive game until I've played it (Haze anyone). Anyway back on topic, the list is shaping up quite well and I see several first day purchases and a few that I won't even rent. Uncharted 2 will be the greatest looking game ever (on a console) and it has the gameplay to match unle...
Well I know it is hiding under my Christmas tree somewhere and I am eagerly awaiting to play it. The Beta was really good and I am somewhat stunned that it isn't doing better sales. I didn't love the first but it was a good game and the sequel has expanded that game greatly. I also liked the K2 Beta and would really like the fanboys to stop hyping it already. There is no way it can live up to the attention its getting on forums and will only fuel fanboy wars further. Either way I am looking f...
Lets hope that they aren't all JRPG's. They have their fans but I just can't get into them especially the turn-based ones.
Anyone who has played video games for any length of time is custom to switching discs. I certainly prefer everything to be on one disc such as is the case with Blu but it, by no means, is of any real concern to swap out a disc. I have nothing against Blu ray but I doubt that it'll be included in the next round of consoles but MS will have to address the issue with the upcoming 720.
Haven't heard from Dead Island in over a year but what I saw/read looked really good and a sandbox island full of zombies sounds great.
