so what if his attitude is upbeat? how does that have anything to do with the points the rest of the community seems to all agree on. he has no journalistic qualities, his vids are poorly planned, filmed, and executed, he uses ridiculous headlines to grab readers and inspire controversy, and listening to him talk is the cure for a lack of a severe headache.
i agree with you that he seems like an upbeat, positive guy, but that doesn't mean he has any business doin what he's doin...
you act like this is a win for you. like you have anything to gain.
second, ps3 isn't taking over, or picking up steam...the very first sentence is that the sales are down for ps3. they just happen to be down for 360 as well. which we all expected would happen this year. the software exclusive releases this year were very lackluster.
but goto the software side for a minute. in the us and europe MW2 sold...what...almost 5 million copies? and a minimum of 3.5 mill...
i don't get the point you're trying to make. you make it sound like a betrayal if a game you really enjoy goes to another system and gets to be enjoyed by more ppl.
i don't get the logic in your attitude. most gamers aren't fanboys. most gamers just like getting to play a game regardless of system. if i buy a game and really enjoy it, and then it goes to another system at the same time or later, i don't cry, lose sleep, boycott the company, or even stop playing the game. the...
he makes no mention of Half Life or Half Life 2. and what about Deus Ex?
and by the way, while i did very much enjoy MGS4, i would never consider it to be an "epic story." it's an okay story that is told repetitively throughout the game. i don't know how many times you get a full, detailed explanation about the nano machines. and sometimes it just drags on (like the 40 minute ending). and even if the story were close to as good as you praise it to be, it's told ent...
I don't think there has been a single game released this year that deserves better than a 9 by a real 1-10 ranking system...and that's being generous. This whole generation has maybe 1-2 9's.
if the pc version of the first gears is any indication, gears 2 will be much much buggier for the pc than for 360. now, i don't know about things like host advantage and whatever because that depends on host and possible dedicated servers. but, i can say that i bought gears 1 for pc just for the hell of it and i never got to enjoy it because no matter what i did, i couldn't get it to play with sound. i called MS to get assistance and they said they are aware of the issue and have no way of...
i'm sure the russians don't have any forms of entertainment depicting excessive violence against americans...
seriously...it's a story (albeit not a very good one), and it fits into the context. it's not like it's anti-russia propaganda. makes the russian gov't look worse for banning it.
I do have to say though, i did think that scene went a bit too far. just didn't feel right playing it, i didn't fire once on the civies. remember the first time you saw an almos...
but every person i know that signed the petition just went and bought it for 360. which is exactly what activision wanted in the first place. Their whole goal in doing this to pc gamers was to force them to switch to console so they could get away with nickle n dime-ing with DLC every couple months til MW3. Looks like big corp wins again. Oh well, this isn't at all surprising.
Now, i know on N4G the latest fad among the fanboys has been to criticize Valve...but let me ju...
gaming is the new movie industry. no matter how horrible a company is, and how mundane and repetitive their game series are, you people will keep throwing money at them. just like the launch of the spiderman movies. TERRRRRRIBLE movies, each one exponentially worse than the previous, and more and more ppl paid to see that trash. just goes to show how dumbed down our society is becoming.
Pretty soon movies and games will all be 10 minutes long and be one giant CG explosion, an...
the PC gaming community is actually a lot bigger than you and the rest of the console only players seem to realize. they are also much more dedicated members. they stick with games for years and years, they create mods which are often adapted in sequels by developers, and they have thousands of ppl supplying dedicated servers for all sorts of games. the console community is so fickle. they latch on to whatever game is currently rolling on the hype train, they smother it with praise for 2-...
actually this generation of consoles have virtually no hardware AA ability. if it's not built into the engine (unreal engine) you will see jaggies everywhere...and even then the software can't handle everything.
that's exactly what it's turning into. in fact, i'd go even further. it's like the tabloids of gaming. the national enquirer of gaming.
@j-mare. that's not true. you guys have been saying that for years now. i've been on n4g since this gen launched and it's always been a vast majority claiming sony superiority and crying at the smallest complaint about ANYTHING related to the corporation. and even if that were true, which it isn't, that doesn't make it okay. fanboys are ...
your reply to this top commenter should have been in your article. this is the best point anyone has made on this site to date. all the new comers to a site that is supposed to be news for gamers see nothing but a bunch of whiny, bickering fanboys who have no interest in the real progress of gaming or of the community. it's sad and pathetic and i find myself more and more wanting to ignore this site when i look for actually news on one of the hobbies i enjoy most. the majority of the ppl ...
