I think that although Reach will be big, people should recognize that it's still one game and that there will be many good games worth playing in the future that will not get the same kind of marketing as Reach will. I want people to remember that games like The Last Guardian and Killzone 3 will be really amazing and the next God of War is going to be amazing and none of these games are going to get the same level of marketing as Reach will, but people shouldn't think that Reach will...
The truth loses value when it is delivered by an idiot. Let your unbiased comrades do the talking.
Mountains out of molehills. Well, I'm off to buy groceries. Sweet!
His point is not valid because he cannot prove what he said.
More like 20 percent more powerful than 360, and it's usually being worked on by more talented people like Sony Santa Monica and Naughty Dog. No offense to Bungie, they are great devs, but they cannot push hardware the way Naughty Dog can. I bet Naughty Dog could works wonders with the 360. Too bad it will never happen.
In response to PirateThom,
I know my points afterward were irrelevant to you, but they are very relevant to me. When we're talking about hardware...
That is a very unverifiable declarative statement.
The PS3 is a powerful console. Let's not get ahead of ourselves and compare it to open-ended hardware. PCs have no concrete specifications. They can be as weak or as powerful as necessary. My PS3 is more powerful than any personal computer I have in my house. But since all of the computers in my house are either laptops from 2006 or this netbook I'm using now, I can't really go, "Ooh, ah, impressive."
I guess one could retort to Tretton by saying, "If you want to play with motion controls, you should go out and buy a Wii for 199 bucks and try out the amazing games on that console."
As a gamer, my hope is that Microsoft does have something special to show off with Natal and isn't showing anything now because they're just playing it close to the chest. That's my hope as a gamer.
360 fanboys want Natal to succeed simply so they can have an extra bullet point in their stupid rants against Sony. PS3 fanboys want it to fail simply so they can have an extra bullet point in their rant against Microsoft.
You guys use the word "innovative" a lot.
I don't think it means what you think it means.
At the same time, just because something is innovative, it doesn't mean that it's good or a step in the right direction.
Motion controls, let's say, were innovative. But a lot of people did not like them and didn't want anything to do with them.
Some guy above me said, "Flower is more innovative than anything MS has done" or s...
Retail physical PC gaming purchases are declining. PC gamers are alive and well, they mostly get their games online from digital distribution services like STEAM or D2D. There's no point in driving over to Gamestop to get screwed over by their unfair business practices.
Some console gamers say digital distribution is the future. I don't know if they're right or not, but when it comes to PC gaming, digital distribution is already the norm. Consoles may be the factors in keep...
I don't think you understood what I meant.
I was saying that the amount of hype God of War 3 was receiving just a one or so before release was not proportional to the greatness of the demo. The demo itself was, in comparison to the final product, not nearly as amazing. Not even close, and I've heard PS3 fanboys say this as well.
And don't imply that I am a 360 fanboy, because I'm not. I'm not a fanboy of any kind, firstly. Secondly, you are probably more a fanboy ...
Everyone's down this week. PS2 is still selling. Damn, I should get me one of those.
Although the whole point of a demo is to see whether or not you will like the rest of the game based on it, it's pretty obvious to me that some demos just aren't good representations of the final product.
Some developers put top priority into making an excellent demo so that you will be excited to buy the game, but other developers put the demo in as an after-thought. This can definitely be a problem for both the dev and the gamer. I played the Dead Space demo about 2 years ago...
Well, hot damn, we need more people like that.
"It's not a 360 thing"
Why can't we all just be that way? When a game sucks, regardless of platform, why can't we just be willing to say the game sucked?
Ubisoft always does this. They take a great concept and then they sh*t on it. Look at Assassin's Creed. One of my favorite games this gen, and yet I have no problem admitting that some parts of the game are downright garbage. Flag collectin...
It's a sad situation, indeed. I know what it's like to get laid off from work. I mean, if I party all night and show up to work smelling of liquor and have a hangover, then I can't argue if I get fired. And if I repeatedly show up to work late and take hour long smoke breaks and neglect my responsibilities, then I can't feel too shocked if I get fired. But if I do my job diligently, show up on time, follow all the policies and procedures, maintain an acceptable attitude, and then get fire...
you did not just say that.
I hate you so much right now.
Wait, didn't the PS3 fans here say that Greg Miller was a good reviewer? Wasn't he the one who gave Infamous a 9.2? What's with the hate now?
I feel sad for Chris Roper. I hope he has his life in order or some kind of security measure. Getting fired from a job is such a blood pressure raising experience.
"I won't press a button on the internet out of my misplaced sense of self-righteousness, even though it would cost virtually no energy for me to do so. But can someone please waste their time in explaining to me what the webpage I am shunning is about?"
I don't see how punishing innocent consumers for the crimes of others is justified. If you can't be mad at Sony for this, then don't be mad at publishers for DLC. Don't be mad at Ubisoft for DRM. Don't be mad at corporations for raising prices.
