"..and splinter cell is not an average stealth game,its got a lot of variety to it."
What's the context though? It ain't survival horror. It's Tom Clancy.
Sam Fisher is a government agent with the weapons of tomorrow, today. Sticky shockers, turret hacking, retinal scans, emp alt fire, air foils, sticky cams, fiber wires, point & execute auto kills, thermal/night vision goggles, rappel gear, radio intel and VTOL extraction /insertion...
.."some of the story aspects in the game just don't make sense , like the cannibalism"
What doesn't make sense? That town is a group of Hunters that live outside of the safezones, so they get no military aid or rations. Food is scarce, and hunting deer wasn't enough to maintain their standard of living.
Hunters pillage and plunder to survive. In-game they rob people, steal their clothes and shoes, attacked checkpoints for weapons n ammo...
He talks about mechanics, but wtf kinda mechanics can you expect in a 3rd person stealth and survival romp where you're not a space marine or shooting plasmid rainbows out yer butt? C'mon now.
It's already got on-the-fly weapon/item crafting, upgradeable skill trees that let you eliminate things like weapon sway & reload time. Contextual no-button cover, hot keys, shoulder swap, light puzzles, item collection, protagonist swaps, a contextual melee system al...
If anything it might spoil Hayter as Solid Snake!
Why? Hayter's listed on IMDB as "BigBoss/David". Big Boss' real name is actually 'John'. He tells Ocelot it's 'John' at the end of MGS3.
Solid Snake's real name however, IS David. He tells Meryl it's 'David' at the end of MGS1, and his mom calls him 'David' in MGS4.
Hmmm....
"Sony doesn't have anything in the same league as Halo or Gears."
Except they do. Gran Turismo's outsold all of them http://www.playstationlifes... , and Uncharted 2's outscored all of them 4576d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment
Good research! What's even more telling is that he holds up Zelda, yet Zelda sales have been sporadic themselves http://www.vgchartz.com/art... mostly below 5 million. He says Sony needs a 10 million seller (even though they already have one in GT) yet Zelda's never even cracked that barrier, and it peaked in 1998.
Same with Metroid 4576d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment
You talk about ignorance, yet flaunt Forza and Halo while dismissing the fact GT5 estimates http://www.vgchartz.com/gam... are on pace to surpass Halo 3 http://www.vgchartz.com/gam... lifetime. This while Forza Horizon barely passed 1 million http://...
Isn't this the same site that gave TLOU 7/10 and games like Deadpool and TMNT: OOTS 8.5/10?! The Smurfs 2 = 7.5/10? omfg lol.
@CupidViper
Agreed. TLOU, a new IP in the twilight of this gen's lifecycle, outsold the latest Gears and Forza combined. Why put all your eggs in one basket when you own the damn farm?
Kojima's earned our benefit of the doubt after 30+ years in the business. 343 is a sloppy seconds studio.
Since when has Metal Gear followed battlefield convention?
History lesson: MGS has had peeps dressed as cowboys (Ocelot), vampires (Vamp), shirtless snow hulks (Vulcan Raven), gas mask leather fetishists (Mantis), naked gymnasts (Raiden), cyborg ninjas (Grey Fox), astronauts (The Fury), rollerderby alcoholics (Fatman), beekeepers (The Pain), robot animals that turn into supermodels who will pose for camera picsss (The B&B Corps), pinhead cosplayers (Python), little red ...
Dude actually gave it a 5/10 not 9/10, and it's a piss poor pretentious troll review at that. 5 implies it's near broken. Far from it.
Guy trolls the entire premise saying the NPC audience watching and reacting to the theater show takes away the player's right to laugh or loathe what they want to when they want to. Gimme a #$%^& break Nowak! It ain't a "laugh track", the whole concept is a stage show. -sigh- this is why we can't have nice ...
Everyone else seems to like it on metacritic, but even that aside, Whitehead comes across a bit pissy.
I'll remember the dig against bombs as a non-inventive powerup when the next cod drops with its 8th iteration of frag/flashbang/stun grenades this gen and critics give it its yearly pa$$. Game's got magic scissors and fairy tale decapitation gameplay in a lbp meets tim burton motif and all Dan takes from it is bombs and a ground pound?
"Come on man we have all seen Ryse and that game look beyond awesome. Visually outpacing anything we have seen from the Ps4."
Really? All I've seen are countless gifs of charachters running through eachother, elastic leg kicks, botched stuttery executions, charachters teleporting, charachters falling through the environment, animations clipping, wonky physics. Looks uninspired http://i.minus.com/i4...
Wait, wait, wait. So Shatter...SHATTER (?!) and Unfinished Swan are top 10 while Demons Souls, Valkyria Chronicles, R&C, Killzone etc are nowhere on the list?
They put Catherine and simple dimples like SuperStardust HD on there but no MGS4??
Hmm. Even inFamous2 seems too high compared to LBP2 and GOW3 which are too low. They've always had weird lists though. Maybe save Sound Shapes & Guacamelee for the Vita next time, guys. You can frikkin -make- ...

Gears of War Judgment = 3rd person shooter

@sentury111
I don't think the disagrees are symptoms of a "site's fave company" so much as a response to inflammatory comments from people who openly don't even play the PS3 or remember their PSN IDs, spouting the "inside track".
For example: "Great BluRay player poor steaming device due to cinevie muting movies."
Dude, Cinavia?! XBOX360 didn't even HAVE A WEB BROWSER to stream your STOLEN MOVIES from unti...
"Playstation tears are so bitter...yet so sweet"
Who says that in a post-E3 2013 "gaming culture"? Lol.
Gaming culture? Sounds like a made-up buzzword, especially in the context of a controller. Wouldn't an important aspect of pro-gaming culture be still releasing a bevy of respected exclusives in 2013 like sly, ninokuni, mlb13 the show, tlou, dragons crown, beyond, gow, gt6 etc? As opposed to only a couple stinkers like 'Dark'?
I don't get the "childs toy" comment either when the 360 controller is the one still using AA batteries and has face buttons ...
"I can't agree with that. "
You don't have to. David's clan did though. Joel & Ellie were appalled by it too. But that's a moral debate.
"Firstly - there's an infectious disease that can spread from person to person. Would anyone with an iota of survival instinct risk eating someone who could be infected (e.g by spore inhalation - they don't 'turn' immediately, + how can you tell?)"
