Yeah, but you see, no one who likes the games gives a shit.
It's people who don't like Halo in the first place that bitch about it being "milked."
But you find out what games they're interested in and suddenly they don't think those games are milked even though there's just as many iterations.
kasasensei, good games usually have well-supported online components. Socom 2 was a great online game that was supported for a long time and therefore your reasoning that you shouldn't pay full price is flawed.
How come your responses to him aren't in that pic?
The Shining. The wife's name is Wendy.
Microsoft is doing relatively well. I don't see Ballmer going anywhere just yet.
It doesn't matter how slow the internet is now. I'm talking about the future. You're talking about pointless trivialities that only delay the inevitable. Blu-Ray will be around for those who "want to feel like they own things." Even with slow internet, digital distribution is growing.
There's always a generation that drags its feet when something comes around that changes everything. The older generation was reluctant to accept computers as an integral part of society. And then with the internet, and now with digital distribution. It will take over. Beta-max, VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray, Digital Distribution, and so on.
Well I'm not specifically referring to you but to reviewers in general. It's no secret that many high profile review sites are so entwined with publishers that they often receive some form of compensation from said publishers either before or after they review their games. IGN received a shit load of swag from Take 2 during the time they were reviewing Grand Theft Auto IV.
Either way, I stand by my statement that reviewers are handing out 9s and 10s like lollipops...
You should edit your comment quickly. I was suspended from the site for 4 days because I called someone an idiot.
I read the article and I understand where this guy is coming from. What he's saying is that certain games thrust the player in a weird environment with weird gameplay mechanics and being that there can be no rational explanation for those things a simple story is the best fit.
I also agree that some game stories become so complex that the only way to explain it, according to the developer, is to force the player into watching a cutscene. I think that's disadvantag...
Woops, I accidentally clicked disagree. I agree with the statement. Reviewers are really lenient nowadays. They want to get swag and review codes earlier so they show the publishers that they're easily impressed.
Nevertheless, some review sites are too loose with their scoring. I don't think any game deserves a 10. There just isn't a such thing as a perfect game.
How could there not be a single thing wrong with a game?
A 9 is a respectable score. I also think that reviewers should go back to being a little more harsh with their reviews. I'm tired of seeing 10 or 12 games a year with 9s and 10s.
343 studios.
Balding guys say that all the time.
Saying that a great game is milked is just a low, mongoloid way of trying to find a fault with it.
The only thing that that you can say against the series is that it has frequent iterations? Boo-fucking-hoo. More to love.
There should be a scene in a Halo game where we see Master Chief's face.
As for Bungie's announcement, we already know there will be a Halo 4.
It's an exaggeration. Some people say they cried during MGS4's ending. How do you feel about that?
Lot of Japanese games could be on this list.
I hear about a lot of Japanese games getting great scores on Famitsu, but living in the US, I don't think I can ever get them.
Even multi-console owners can be fanboys.
I read comments like, "I own both consoles, so you know I'm not a fanboy, but console A is a piece of shit."
This troll is a permutation of another troll. For all you know, he does have a PS3, but would rather spend his time pissing people off on the internet.
Haven't there been a few metal gear games with Solid Snake?
Who was the main guy in MGS3?
