Still, they've been down like 5 months. Counting the PSN going down for a month, they've been down more than half of the game's shelf life. Total boondoggle
Take out Silent Hill: the Room and replace it with the Suffering 2, since it killed the franchise. Or Cold Fear which never made it past one game.
Uh, your top 5 is broken. Mass Effect2 PS3 and Uncharted3 are both at 94%, LittleBigPlanet2 is at 92% and ICO/SOTC is at the same 91% as Gears/Forza. derp
Wtf does cross game chat have to do with *anything* in this topic? Gawd, 360 fanboys hold on to that like it's your freaking placenta or something. It's 2011, cut the cord lol!
Incidentally, other sites are doing their own H2H's btw and no surprise, their pictures are coming up with different results than LOT. It's been a bad 2011 for them. When 2/3 of the crew always pick the 360 version anyways because of the controller or something equally superfluous, wha...
I'll say it. Sold Oblivion GOTY edition half way through the campaign. RIP Blockbuster Video. I got like $25 for it. Sorry Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean.
Different people review different games. "IGN" isn't a sentient program like Skynet. The guy that reviewed GT5 doesn't even work there anymore lol http://stars.ign.com/object... .
Wtf does Forza have to do with Uncharted anyways? It's a driving game and isn't judged on things like story, VA, gameplay variety, set pieces, TDM etc. You say Uncharted 2 was too linear to ke...
LMAO @ the 7/10 stamp! Someone check them for a pulse. That's the laziest site I've probably come across on metacritic.
Not really. They still kept undertracking MGS4 even after Konami released the official numbers to investors. If ignoring official numbers ain't bias, I don't know what is.
What do you mean you see? Is this law? Halo sells less with every title, yet no one cares. Lets see where Forza is in 2 months after the holiday busy season with COD, BF, AC, Skyrim, Saints, Batman, NFS etc before we start saying "told ya so".
Exactly Thom. KAZ said this was an UNINTENDED result and they never set out to lock it. It's a tech issue they couldn't fix in time for launch. I saw his Q&A quotes. Bloggers need to read more and write less.
"The gaming systems that will succeed in the future will be those that manage to move away from being focused solely on video games and more on other entertainment options such as movies, evolving from a traditional game console into more of a set-top box."
Uhhhh...BluRay/DVD player, printer settings, PC media streaming, USB flash drive compatible, web browser, netflix, NHL/MLB/HULU/ESPN apps, picture viewer, video editor with Youtube uploader, video/text chat, musi...
Asphalt glare? I've been driving for almost 20 years, and I can tell you that streets don't glow like that. The course wasn't even wet. That's practically snow blindness.
No rubber? GT has skidmarks, just not 20 per frame. Must be a lot of ducks crossing on that course to see so many sudden stops, peel outs and drifts on stretches of nothing.
Bulletstorm sold well?! Uhhhh...even Epic spokespeople said it underperformed and they didn't make any money off it, http://www.tomshardware.com... so no.
No, they look worse. The asphalt in F4 has no grains, meanwhile look at the bottom screen of GT5 and you can see the textures flying by. Trees look more realistic on the roadside, more shadows on the track. F4 is a skidmark show, even on straightaways for some reason.
Which makes GT the Emperor?
GT got screwed 10 ways from Sunday by the conundrum that is videogame journalism. This video of a one year old game vs one fresh off the print proves it. Asphalt textures. 'nuff said.
@#13
Still at it?
In answer to your question, inFamous2 did, and by a wider margin than Forza4.
So did LBP2 which doubled LBP1's NA debut.
So did Disgaea 4 which almost tripled Disgaea 3's NA debut.
Now if you're done putting your foot in your mouth...
Outside_ofthe_Box = post of the week.
Maybe now that the other half of gamers in this debate have felt the six figure sting of reality, everyone can go back to being gamers instead of stock brokers with one foot in the gutter. I don't come here to have kids tell me I don't know how to run a business, lol. Had to check to see if I was on the right site last week.
*Newsflash* multiplats have a higher user base to sell to. They damn well better sell more.
Unfortunately the opposite to your point is true too, many multiplats released months ago haven't sold either. Child of Eden, Shadows of the Damned, Bodycount, Mindjack, Knights Contract...all NEW IPs...all DOA. Rage selling a couple copies to Carmackolytes changes nothing. Perhaps the article should tell that to Catherine which only sold 100,000 on the 360 all summer.
But this is DC Comics. Gotham & Metropolis. It's cool. I don't wanna have to wear a paper bag to play some D&D nerd cr@p. " Your lvl 20 fire mage cast repel on my enchanted fairy dagger in the Orc cave nullifying my arcane oh STFU" lol! *wedgie*
DCUO is an MMO I'm not embarrased to admit to playing.
Is the Castlevania remake even an MM pick yet? That level is freaking amazing. Should be front and center and more easy for people to find as it really shows just what you can do with the create mode.
