"Gears of War 3 would sell no matter if it is release on the same day as any of the games you had listed."

He never said it wouldn't. He said that the Playstation had a much larger variety of games to choose from this year, so Playstation gamers would have to spread their money much more than Xbox gamers, for who the only major games releasing this year were either Multiplatform, or Gears of War 3. Compare that to Playstation's offering...

Not completely a 4, but it's definitely the lowest anybody's ever given Gears 3. Oh and look, it's written by Tom Chick!

Yes I can accept a persons opinion, but a 4/10 does not reflect the game's quality in any way. To put it into contrast, he gave Dungeon Siege 3 the same score, a game that's nowhere near the quality and enjoyment you get out of Uncharted.

Can't wait for Uncharted Kart! Should be awesome.

"Less jaggies"? "Higher Resolution"?

You do realise that Uncharted has AA and Gears does not, and that they both run at the same resolution, right?

Just saying because the facts actually make your argument look rather silly.

Honestly, I haven't experienced input lag anywhere near the amount the video shows. Aiming felt just fine the way it is in the game, and I got plenty of headshots to back it up.

Aim for the head - kills them in one shot lol. I just finished the game yesterday, and I got all three headshot trophies in my first playthrough. It's usually the part that sticks out anyway lol.

Nearly double? Not anywhere near double :/

1 500 000 + 50% = 2 250 000 (Half as many)
1 500 000 + 100%= 3 000 000 (Double)

Again I want to emphasise the fact that I'm not trying to state that it's a fact that available material reduces crime, all I'm asking is to consider the possibility.

To get back to your previous post:
"By that logic, shouldn't the US and UK have far lower instances of violence than Japan, since GTA and Call of Duty are way, way more popular there than in Japan?"
No, because that's not "by my logic". I'm simply point...

I think you're kind of missing my point. I never said that it was causation, I only made the point that we should not be so narrowminded about things and give them more thought. If there are ways to reduce child abuse, they're worth looking into, but the fact that child pornography (even drawn) is such a cultural taboo probably means that we never will.

Furthermore, I'm aware statistics only tell a part of the story, but even with very large error margins based on...

I get where you're coming from, and yes it's true for certain people, but not for others. The thing about it is though, that the people for whom it is true, are actually the same ones that would do it regardless of whether or not games/videos/material like this existed.

Consider some statistics:

Define "Fucked up shit", when we have games that are all about how to torture people in the most effective way?

I agree that we should protect our children, but I do not see the harm in hentai of questionable nature.

@cpayne93

I wouldn't be so quick dispelling the advantages of having material available to watch, as it does satisfy certain desires, and puts many people (perhaps not all, but more than without the material available) off the track of actually doing it, reducing the amount of crime that happens in this specific area.

You mention Sex Addicts, but sex addicts are only a very very small sub-group of people over the entire population, and sexual addiction do...

While I agree with the point you're trying to convey, Fact and Opinion are _not_ mutually exclusive. The fact that they can overlap (e.g. your opinion might be that a person is very tall, and if he's 8 feet tall, then he's also tall by fact) means that they're not mutually exclusive at all.

Purely speculating, but I suppose a lot of it would be procedurally generated up to a certain extend, to minimize the amount of space models take on a DVD. That and scripted cutscenes, instead of pre-rendered ones, may make a lot of difference in disk space required.

Actually, I disagree.

Let me explain - I've played both Gears and Uncharted (though not the third iteration of either of them), and I dislike Gears as it's too slow for my liking, and it tries to appeal too much to a very specific audience, e.g. the ones that love blood, gore and simplistic, shallow story lines.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying that's a bad thing, it's just a different type of person.

I love Un...

Have to say that 'console' exclusive is a bullshit term invented by Microsoft to damage control the fact that 90% of their 'exclusives' are available on PC. If it's on more than one platform, it's multiplatform.

But what's the point of finishing a "Story Mode" if you're not following the story?
