Then there's guys like Tom Chick who lowball for hits, and can't write worth a damn either.
"Hurr durr Kratos, Drake and inFamous guy all look the same in this PSABR promo pic, hence why I prefer SSB and hate this! Jak, Ratchet and Sly are all cartoon mammals too, wtf!"
Right Tom. Now we're docking points for too many mammals. Nevermind that Mario/Luigi/Wario are all aesthetic clones of eachother. As are pretty much all the ninjas in Mo...
@TheKayle
-sigh- this again?
Portal2, LANoire, FF13, Hitman Absolution, Saints Row the Third, Just Cause 2, Bionic Commando, Battlefield3, Mass Effect1, Assassins Creed Revelations, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, Tomb Raider Underworld, even the gawdawful Silent Hill HD Collection all performed better on PS3 according to the name pixel counter sites like DF/LOT etc.
And what of Kojima? MGS4 Anniversary Edition next year remains a PS3 exclusive. Majorit...
@dirthurts
The only "statement" the PoP cliffhanger left is BUY OUR DLC FOR TEH TRUE ENDING. What good is your imagination then??? Nothing. Because Ubi' went and dragged it out for $10 more that left the game in a worse spot than where it was. Then ditched the continuity anyways.
Decompression is a form of storytelling often frowned upon by comic book readers who hate buying issues where nothing happens or things get needlessly stretched out. The fact th...
COD4, an F1 game that no one played and a cutscene trailer for a game that's not even out yet? No wonder this mags going out of business. This threads got better lists.
Ubisoft doesn't know how to do an ending.
The Splinter Cells back in the day all had like 10 second endings. They even retconned out one of the ending choices in Double Agent.
Prince of Persia reboot ended in a cliffhanger and its DLC ended in another cliffhanger that still hasn't been resolved.
Far Cry 2 had a terrible text ending with stills. FC3 was barely better yet has some of the longest credits I've ever seen.
<...
omg LMAO! So true! Horrible voice acting in Far Cry 2, it's like they were all told to blow through their lines in one take and as fast as possible because Ubi' only rented the studio for an hour.
That plus my gun jamming up sometimes twice in a fight, malaria, infinite spawning roadblocks...ugh. Pretty but over rated. FC3 is better in every sense of the word.
It also shows what kinda player you are, like what games you take more seriously. In the case of Journey, that you didn't really play in co-op as intended, you never explored and you never tried it more than once.
Trophies say you played most of the game solo since you didn't get the 'play most of the game with a partner' trophy.
You didn't get the trophy for meeting 10 unique people which is almost impossible not to get.
<...
@aquamala
You've got exactly ONE trophy in Journey, under your perfectsil tag http://psnprofiles.com/perf... .
One, surrounded by another umpteen dozen games with zero trophies . Your fave games of 2012 with the most trophies include Resident Evil 6 and Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Not sure if serious...

The point is that you get more than what you paid for. The service pays for itself pretty quick, everything else is a bonus.
Don't tell me no one here has never bought a game and traded it in to Gamestop, BB or your local mom 'n pop game shop. That's a $60 glorified rental right there, and you get diddly squat extra after you beat it in a week and trade it in.
No one keeps playing the sam...
Bayonetta? Hell no. Yeah the game is getting a sequel, but that sequel's exclusive to the Nintendo Wii-U. Why would a charachter now exclusive to Nintendo be a PS AllStar?
And how do you figure half the roster is from games that aren't out yet? Dante is ONE GUY. Raiden debuted on the PS2 10 years ago. He even has a MGS2 skin in the game. One new charachter from soon to be 22 isn't "half the roster".
Yup. It's a juggernaut.
Guaranteed #1 sales upon release.
Guaranteed $wooning from the big 3.
Instant brand recognition.
Free marketing everytime a Jack Thomson goes to CNN about them.
Critical darling.
Not entirely overexposed.
2013 will be no different. The NRA VP is probably already getting ready to blame them for something lol, to the tune of cash registers dinging.
Yeah I can see that. Hard to justify paying to keep a studio open and its employees on a wage when they had no product to even recoup their losses from. They weren't making any money. One PS3 game in an expected 10 year life cycle ain't exactly a great performance. Wonder how much money Team Ico's burned already on Last Guardian?
Wow. What a trainwreck.
Not exactly. Only two per the article. Liverpool and Zipper. Liverpool wasn't "underperforming" either, they just haven't done anything for PS3 since the successful WipEout HD 4 years ago.
4+ years of nothing is a long time. So Sony decided to re-allocate peeps to other projects http://www.destructoid.com/... .

Fact is you said you were stretching to think of 3 award winners and I gave you 5, not even counting your GodofWar shout out. A good game is a good game, they're all comparable on that level. Give credit where it's due.
On that note, don't "buh buh buh" about Journey, calling ppl delusional. They did something without pew pew guns or blood and succeeded. Even got a Grammy nod out of it. Of your nominees, Halo 4 will be remembered for its souless Dorito...
@SDF Repellant/ Streetsof Rage
Bad year? Dud?
Journey just won IGN's GOTY. Exclusive MLB12 The Show has the same meta avg as MS flagship Halo4. Even the best HD re-issue of the year, Move enabled Okami (90% critical avg) is an exclusive.
Conversely, two Fable games critically -bombed- this year (Fable the Journey, Fable Heroes), Witcher2 and Forza Horizons didn't sell. Alan Wake's American Nightmare came and went just like its pre...
@Kran
comment histories, PMs, 51 ignores. It is what it is unfortunately.
It's Sony's fault Activision has milked COD dry, quality be damned? You do know MS still has a COD DLC timed exclusive deal goin' on with Kotick and Co. right? Who's really wasting dough?
Didn't know Sony was hard up for new IP either, what with:
NiNoKuni: Wrath of the White Witch
The Witch and the Hundred Knights
The Last of Us
The Puppeteer
Until Dawn
Rain
Beyond: Two Souls
Tearaway

The NRA VP said what?! Now -they're- scapegoating videogames? Wow, shoot me now. No pun intended :/
Polytron could easily make an arrangement with Sony before releasing Fez on PS3. SCEA exec Adam Boyes said this summer that they're trying to make PSN easier for devs to work with. This after Polytron refused to pay for a Fez patch on XBLA in July.
Either way, if/when Fez releases for PSN it'll have all the updates by default. No reason not to release it on PSN as it would be more up to date than the XBLA version day one.
