It's not the medium I am questioning here, it's more the attitude I see around here. People have every right to publicize their distaste in something. If it happens to be against a video game then all we hear is nasty comments about that person or a stereotypical comment made by some punk kid who has never had a hard day in their life. Trust me, when it comes to hard times, I know better than most but and that is the one reason why I have a more open mind to when people complain about issues ...
What tune people who play this game would sing if a loved one or they themselves were struck by a drunk driver? I know it's a game but when something like that happens to you, any form of glorification to said experience tends to strike a nerve. It's just some food for thought. It seems that GTA is all about making a scene these days and is truly nothing more than a way for everybvody's inner thug to come out on the telly...
Come on, now you have to admit that was a cool periferal that just didn't get the press it needed.

Let's not compare a crap game like Geo-wars to SSHD. SSHD makes Geo look like childs play when you get into the upper levels. And the graphics, they make the devlopers of Geo-wars cry.
And when VGcharts was claiming the Xbox 360 top dog last year in sales, the site was gospel for the Xbox fanboys. It's a fair weathered friend for both sides.
Until then, we will not see sales pick up drastically unless it is a holiday season and at the moment, sales seem on par with the price points these players are at.
When the Xbox 360 sales were shown to be greater than the PS3, the Xbox fanboys claimed VGCharts to be accurate. When the sales dropped bellow the PS3's, they then claimed the website to be false and full of inaccuracies. So you need to ask yourself, does it matter? Will knowing these numbers help me sleep at night? We know that both consoles are selling well and that yes, the PS3 will in fact outpace the 360 simply because it has the largest fan following between the two consoles. It's inevi...
Ok... So since when did CC determin the fan favor level of the entire series when it came to these two regions? The PSP sells like crazy in Japan and there is a greater love for JRPG's there. This is nothing new. I for one think that this article is a bit of PS bashing but that is just how I see it. The FF series is loved world wide and that is something you can see imediately when you glance at the worldwide sales. As for the title... Each "final fantasy" is just that, a final fant...
Here is my comment from yesterday - word for word:
"Can you hear that?
That is the sound of the winds of change... Not that it's all bad, I own both consoles. ;-)"
There is nothing in there about the PS3 version being superior, only that now the devs are getting a hang of the PS3 hardware and are coming out with games that are identical to the untrained eyes when compared to their Xbox 360 counterparts.
Let's face it here, this gam...
Is this a sign that MS is worried that they are not going to be in first place in the console war? Please, give up the race and be yourself MS. You're doing just fine with your own entity. Here's a note of advice, rather than wasting resources on a Wii-mote clone, let's put those resources into making your console work.
Good god, fanboys need to give it a rest.
You hit that one right on the head bud. Those that talk crap about the PS3 version are silly fanboys that seem to have no idea what they are talking about. Even in the differences you describe there is so little difference that it would take a keen eye to notice most of them. Go play the game guys, it's there calling to you!
Higher than average sales? Great titles? Supurb community? What? Save it from what? Sorry, but that article is silly. The PS3 is outpacing the PS2 in sales when comparing the two consoles year to year and at the moment the PS3 is outpacing the 360 worldwide. So, what was it that GTA4 was saving the PS3 from?
You can't go back from a price drop without major repercussions so you can see that Sony would rather keep the console at a casual level while keeping a little money coming in at the same time. People are still buying it so why lower the price?
This game looks to be a sleeper hit if in fact it looks and plays as they say. I for one am keeping an open eye on it but only hope that Sony grabs hold of it and runs with a decent ad campaign.
A game like this freezes up and the first thought out of the gate is that it's the systems fault. Yeah, and we have never had any bad games come out of production... Right. COme on guys, if it were the systems it would have been massive but since it is the game, we will see a few people with bad discs. This will be resolved shortly.
WTH?
No, I can't take that seriously. I like cell shading for games like Jet Set Radio but this? No way.
It will sell like hotcakes on the PS3 and will sell like poo on the 360. It's just a history lesson for those that would even want this title on the 360. JRPG's don't sell on the 360 and on the PS3 they flourish.
Flamboyant yet to the point. And yes, I hate it. That's more than likely the hardcore gamer in me though. Looking at it from a casual perspective, I still think it sucks.
They gently "ousted" hime from Sony. It's a shame too since he did in fact make another great PS console. Only if those in control today could have seen just how well it would be doing this year. They might have waited a bit longer to make a decision on keeping him around. All they ever had to do was just keep him away from the press for a few months. lol
