Had you read the article yourself, you'd see they don't say it's a technical issue, they're just waiting for "approval" and are looking for a "compromise". Compromise, implying meeting halfway, both parties getting something out of it.
Maybe EA jumped the gun and let the 1st promo out on Live while it was still in QA approval limbo for PS3, inadvertantly giving MS an exclusive promo that should've been multiplat? Hey, who knows. MS doe...
@acdata
Your comment history is a failure
LOL! Yeah maybe Thane and Mordin come out holding hands. I wanna see an extra cutscene where EDI melts into a pile of goo in Joker's arms after the red choice, and the Geth helping the Quarians settle Rannoch all explode killing everyone.
Then another for the green option where everyone just turns into Borg. FFS lol.
Choice and artistic debates don't make the endings any less dumbtarded. Casey Hudson needs to lay off the absinthe when he writes/talk...
The best? Best job of completely decimating the status quo of an IP maybe. I LMAO at the "desperate" storylines behind these new maps. If you've finished the game, you know these battles mean nothing in the end. Ultimately nothing anyone does in ME3 matters, including the effective military strength in MP. Such a disappointment. The irony in playing as a Geth fighting for survival. Waiting for a Catalyst skin, I imagine it'll just be a walking middle finger with DLC weapons....
No idea why 1up got dropped, but they haven't had any new reviews on metacritic for a couple months now, on any system. They're gone. G4TV on the other hand just got re-added after being awol for years. It's so random.
Gotta love a rebuttal with contradictions. Says he doesn't read game reviews and builds a whole case on it, then later says he -does- read other reviews. Ironic he wrote for HonestGamer.
Doesn't hate Gears3, it's just "horrible story, overly familiar gameplay, disappointing beast mode, underwhelming graphics." Quote from his review. Lotta love there. Just like that 2/5 for Forza4.
Q: Do you hate popular AAA games?
A: "Not ...
This. How the hell did a BLOG like Quarter to Three get on there while sites like 1UP get dropped? Why is the Examiner still not on there?
Isn't there a statute of limitations on reviews either? GameCritics.com just had Galloway lowball Yakuza 3 TWO FULL YEARS after release, one year after their Yakuza 4 review even, and metacritic adds it, dropping the average. 2 years after it settled at 80, they drop it to 79 with a pointless and late review. Alrighty then.
Is this a spoiler in the title? I'm not that far yet. Is Rick James gonna have to choke a b!#%?
Not so much about the words as the numbers. They forgave an awful lot in Crackdown 2 for example to give it an 8/10, the same score as the infinitely more polished and refined Uncharted:DF, GOW3, and even BioShock if you want a multiplat example. Higher still than Heavy Rain, inFamous2, Killzone 2, Resistance 3, GT5. That's big props for a game that killed the franchise.
It was Harvard Divinity School of all things. The guy was doing the priest thing studying the old testament. So naturally, he gave up on god and started giving perfect scores to demonic games like Darkness 2 and playing same sex couples on TV, LMAO. I'm not even making this up http://en.m.wikipedia.org/w... .
You'd think altar boy in training would appreciate Journey's more spiritual overtone...
Wtf?! 40/100 implies a game is a failure, doesn't pass the grade. It implies something's broken.
Journey doesn't even have a bad frame rate or screen tear to speak of. No bad art style, bad story, bad music, bad controls, bad online, day one DLC. It's polished and accomplishes what it set out to do. Tacked on insanity difficulty or perk system need not apply.
I don't have to like or listen to classical music in my spare time or in my car...
Better? Technically the game freezes on XBox everytime you wanna alternate from side missions to priority ones and back...cuz you have to stop playing, get off the couch, -swap discs-, and sit down again 'n' load. Even with installs.
Think about it. I mean, really. Palaven to N7 mission? Freeze. SurKesh to Rannoch? Freeze.
lol, oh please FinancialGamer. For a series so touted by critics & fangirls as the StarWars of this gen and the best games evah, ME1 only sold 2.4 million on 360 and ME2 only sold 2.7 million on 360.
Funny how PS3 never gets credit for all the games that pass 2 million -Heavy Rain, inFamous, Resistance, Killzone, LBP, GOW, MGS etc- but when games barely pass 2 mil on the 360 it's suddenly "we like buying games and don't just talk about it".

"So far ME3 is beating UC3 overrated score on metacritic..."
Ummmmmm, UC3 on PS3 has a 92/100 avg. ME3 on PS3 has a 91/100 avg. 92>91 last time I checked.
ME fanboys are some of the worst. If it were any other game. Day1 story DLC, tacked on MP, you can't holster your gun anymore, poor animations -lol @ Anderson running-, new oversized HUD, lip synch problems, poor water physics and game journalist cameos. Like I said, if ME3 was any other g...
@RedDead
From the Escapist review played on XBOX360:
"Aside from the combat problems already mentioned, characters will vanish during cutscenes, leaving you talking to empty air (and having the air reply). Shepard herself will occasionally jump back and forth during her updates to Alliance HQ, as the game assembles the dialog based on the various possible outcomes. None of the issues are enough to diminish the overall enjoyment of playing Mass Effect 3, but they ...
Crysis 2??!! Hellz no. Crysis 1 was better. Every level in Crysis 2 looks and plays almost the same. You could literally run through the campaign on Superhuman just by being invisible. Replace it with BioShock.
Gameplay looks great, Sanzaru really did their homework.
Or maybe, just maybe, they're all right and -you're- wrong? /shock
@skittles
And most thought they sucked. Go read the forums on Gamefaqs and BioWare. Shallow conversation choices in ME3 demo, super huge intrusive health armor HUD, bad running animations on Anderson, NO MORE GUN HOLSTERING cuz they ran out of memory LMAO http://social.bioware.com/f... , the forced vent boy drama, MP and rolling no one asked for.
G4 verdict? 2.......
