The problem is when games are so expensive these days most people are only going to buy a game full price if they know for sure they will enjoy it.
That means that games that get good coverage and good scores are more likely to sell, and those games are often those with giant budgets and only get those budgets if its a proven franchise, like call of duty.
Most of the games I've bought this generation didnt score below 8/10, and most of those were AAA. ...
honestly think this is going to be the big game for the ps3 of 2012
The uncharted series are one of the biggest reasons to own a ps3, and after that for them to say they want to go further with storytelling in games, I think this is going to be one of the few single player games I fork out full prIce for day 1 of release
Yeah true stealth games have all but disappeared for some reason.
As far as vehicular combat is concerned, the only one I can think of which has that at its heart is Warhawk.
I doubt they're going to use a call of duty game, they already have military simulators for jets and ships so it makes sense.
Theyre buffing the bipod even further? Many games Ive set up an LMG at chokepoints to cover in defending games and its almost impossible for anyone to get through.
Definitely doesn't need to be nerfed though so Im not too bothered. To get to that position you usually have to set up under fire so there is a risk attached.
I dont get why developers make spawn points to easy to get to. One thing socom 4 got right was that spawn points were behind a wall, which only your team could get over with a ramp.
Made spawn killing impossible.
Ah fair enough.
Whichever gods which haven't had a major plot line.
I just don't want those small dlcs like in oblivion, £5 for a castle or horse armour, its no different to buying needles items on a free to play game like a hat.
After playing the game for hundreds of hours a new map will be awesome.
Vaermina would be awesome, god of dreams and nightmares. Could be a world split in to two or something, one dream, one nightmare.
Imagine shes going into people dreams, turning them mad out of some kind of revenge, so you have to step into her world through some kind of dark magic to sort things out.
There needs to be something crazy like the shivering isles pack for oblivion, or some of the funny packs for fallout.
People say they want a morrowind pack, but do you? If you want to revisit that world play morrowind some more, get some mods and it'll still look and play well.
Something like shivering isles, a whole new map, something crazy. Maybe we visit one of the deadric lords or talos gods realms? I thought that was one of their things, they make th...
Wow some of those shots are rivalling crysis. Tree and skin textures are crazy. Can that even be run at a decent framerate or are those stills left to render for a bit?
1: completely agree, no one does this for some reason. Its even more valuable if you have tanks and choppers with you as it helps them to stay effective as their vision is not as great as yours. Plus if your unable to kill someone because they're far away, it lets someone else have a chance.
2: That depends on the situation. If your defending and have a good set up or line with your team, try to hold that position.
3: Obvious stuff
4: So...
Socom 4 was the biggest dissapointment for me.
Theres a lot of hate surrounding confrontation but personally I loved the game, they stuck true to the old formula and the maps were well designed, I still play it now.
Socom 4 however, I cant believe how warped its become. Most of the maps arn't that great, no one really uses the cover thing anyway and they got rid of all the great socom games modes.
where's extraction and vip????? How c...
Biggest issue Ive seen so far is the engineers with the repair tool.
In bfbc2 they had a cool down period, and rightly so, otherwise tanks and choppers become immune to rocket fire. They also made it so a chopper had to be level to use the repair tool, so you couldnt use it in the air very well.
Well that all seems to have been thrown out of the window in favour of godly jet and rocket defying choppers. All it takes is a half decent pilot and one engineer out...
Stop just sticking disagrees on jetlian's comment and actually think about what he is saying
hes not saying the games are not any good, the exclusives made by sony are all good, but none of them really have that special something like halo or gears do.
I played Killzone 2, the title that was meant to be just that, but it didnt have the captivating story or characters to do it.
The closest thing is uncharted. I know people who bought ps3s...
On average ps3 exclusives sell well, the reason people think that 360 exclusives do better is becuase the 360 has a few exclusives which are big hitters.
Halo, gears of war and Forza are all huge games. One of the best shooters, another great shooter and arguably the most fun racing sim out there right now.
And they're all marketed well, Sony has a lot of great games but there's no one big hitter which defines the console like halo for the 360.
Its got a really high rate of fire right?
If its got a long reload time as well then its probably ok for 1 or 2 people caught off guard, but against a group of people in a sustained firefight I can imagine it wouldn't be as good as some of the more long range, lower rate of fire guns.
The famas is powerful in many games. Maybe its just a good gun?
I cant say Ive ever had problems with it. Battlefield isnt a game where you just run into people and shoot eachother at the same time, then maybe its about who has the best gun.
Idk maybe Im in the minority but I dont have issues with the famas. I dont use it and I still do quite well.
It looks nice but everything's a little too clean which takes away some of the realism.
Still impressive stuff.
I actually gave kinect a go with forza not long ago and whilst its definitely not recommended if your doing harder races or with assists turned off, its actually pretty fun.
I want to try the other kinect games they may not be "hardcore", but if its fun, why should anyone care?
Seems weird to me when someone tries to make a game seem less by calling it casual, if its fun who actually cares?
Im suprised there hasnt been a major overhaul yet to be honest.
My biggest complaint is how slow the xmb loads during games. Sometimes I want to send someone a message part way through skyrim and the time it takes to load is incredible. And most the of the loaded icons are not even needed.
They should have something like the 360 where a smaller box appears just with mic settings, music settings and psn messaging. That's all I want in a game. Itd load fast...
