Did you know that modders actually made Crysis look several times better than the stock version?

The game is not really ahead of its time as it is just a tech demo that Crytek used to show how powerful their engine was. You also need a PC ahead of its time to run the game on max settings so that's another reason why people don't consider to be ahead of its time.

"One of my favorites is the Cazador. Cazadores are mutated tarantula hawk wasps that have found their way north from the Sonoran Desert. They aren't very durable, but their poison is deadly and they are very creepy looking."

That does sound terrifying.

I guess your comment sounded vague. But, yeah, this game looks nothing like the original Max Payne games. The noire style has been replaced with a generic buff guy shooter.

The original Xbox controller was a behemoth and was nothing like the standard 360 controller. Do your research next time before you criticize someone else.

It's the same as the 360 cover so it's unnecessary to submit it again.

I don't know who it was that was comparing Alan Wake to Heavy Rain. It doesn't matter if some wannabe journalist blog sites made the comparison for hits. How can you cite them as support for your claim that the two were competing with each other.

Alan Wake is a psych thriller. Heavy Rain is a murder mystery.

As you said, both games have graphics. Just like every single fucking game in existence except text-based RPGs.

It's nothing like Heavy Rain.

Bioshock is the spiritual successor. I think Irrational Games will just make another Bioshock sequel.

Microsoft's shock wears off quickly man. I do think they'll wow us for the moment, but Microsoft is style over substance.

There's no truer evidence of that than the fact that MS has so few first party studios. What can their E3 consist of besides sequels to their big franchises like Gears and Halo or else timed exclusive announcements?

I will declare Microsoft the winner of E3 if they get up on stage and announce that they've acquired at le...

To me it is. If you're going to judge every game today by Uncharted 2's cinematic standard then very few games will be good. But I think there are plenty of games that are as fun and that's all that matters to me.

Kotor 2 was given a good score because it was a lot like Kotor 1. It's poor reviews came from those who were upset that Obsidian hadn't improved upon Kotor at all in any department. I agree that Kotor 2 was a good game, but I cannot credit Obsidian for that because they were basically handed all the materials necessary to make a good game. Had they added some of their own additions and creativity to it, the game would have probably failed. Obsidian just aren't good original de...

What does this have to do with xbox, Greywulf? See, this is why you only have one bubble, man. Your only train of thought when you come to any thread is to say something negative about xbox. Don't you have an opinion on the topic at hand?

I think it's good that Cole is not all emo and gravelly as he used to be, but I think the devs have taken it a little far with the style. He looks very "Gap-ish."

You think Valve is a horrible developer? I know everyone's entitled to their opinions, but damn, that is a pretty shitty opinion.

This wouldn't happen to be about Valve's comments about the PS3 would it?

Fallout 3 was given more leniency because Bethesda created a large free-roam world with tons of missions and easter eggs that provided gamers with hundreds of hours of exploration. For all the glitches and bugs of Fallout 3, the game still proved to be an amazing experience and it's unpolished state can be forgiven because Bethesda spent an unbelievable amount of time in creating an unbelievable amount of content.

Obsidian's games are handed to them on a silver platt...

Obsidian messes up everything man.

How many games has Obsidian Entertainment made that was actually their own property?

They didn't develop the original Fallouts. Interplay did. And then Interplay broke up and some members went on to found Obsidian, so you can't really say that Obsidian is the same as Interplay, otherwise 343 Studios is the same as Bungie.

Obsidian has been responsible for developing sequels to well-established IPs ...

If Microsoft makes a bid and buys one of the major publishers and all their devs, like EA or Ubisoft or Take2, I think people will hate Microsoft even more for that.

What can Microsoft do without garnering a lot of hate from the opposition? It would be a lot smarter for MS to acquire existing studios rather than trying to scout for talent that hasn't proven itself.

I don't imagine there was even a chance that you would choose Natal.

I would choose neither.
