"Just because you are in the top 10 doesn't mean anything"
The world wouldn't be full of top 10s if it didn't mean anything, lol. Tell me the NY Times bestseller list means nothing for writers, and they list 35 per category. Billboard has a top 200 ffs. Dan Gallagher, Casey Kasem, Rick Dees, Seacrest all did top 30's. Movie box office is always tallied in top 10s and that's at least worldwide numbers. NPD is USA only. Wah? Buh? Huzzah!

And anybody that STILL can't read by this point in the thread needs to put down their mouse and go re-learn their ABCs and 123s. Go watch some Elmo's World or sing some 'Rock a bye Bear' with the Wiggles plz, adults are talking.
Awesome, but PS Plus usually gets it before these kinda vouchers go live anyways. Either way, I'm covered hehe!
Frank's answers only apply to MP but do absolutely nothing to address the SP campaign, where pacing and AI are all scripted. So why no red dot sight in the campaign? Simply changing the difficulty can dramatically alter how you choose to run'n'gun anyways, so the exclusion of iron sights in SP hardly helps preserve the pacing when you're on Legendary.
Same with the "bigger sandbox" argument. Doesn't apply to the Halo 3 campaign. It ain't Cr...
"the inability to listen to music and surf the store at the same time"
As opposed to the inability on XBox to even rip my freakin videos and music from my USB flashdrive onto the hardrive in the first place, lol? Please, 250GB and I have to leave my flashdrive in. If PSN sucks at multitasking, wtf is that? I haven't bought a CD in years, why can I only rip from a CD on the Live dashboard?
I spend more time on the browser than in the PS Store a...
lol, I know, the things some people say are so cute. A new game+ option plus 2-3 challenge DLCs (Catwoman, Robin, Nightwing) is how they're extending Batman's length but that won't even take most up to 40 hours. How long did it take people to beat the Joker maps? If people want RPGs, go buy RPGs.
Have you played Crysis on console? R3 has much smoother frames. Crysis has pop-in and freezes when you hit checkpoints a la KZ & Gears. The same arguments can be made. The charachter models are pants, and speaking of guns with infinite ammo lol, the alien BFG you get has infinite ammo too making the last few chapters a walk in the park even on Delta. Crysis dabbles in the generic too, from the Matrix looking sentinels to part 2 borrowing the whole Tunguska incident angle from Resistance. ...
It's great for a PSN download, but definitely not as polished as Resistance 3.
No effects on screen like the wind/dust in Haven, the fog on the Mississippi or the rain and power battery sprint through StLouis. No weapons as fun as the Auger, Mutator, Magnum or that one that creates a mini black hole. Scar in Crysis feels the same as the FY71 or whatever its called. Chaingun feels the same as the alien BFG. Pistols are unnecessary. Some known audio issues can crop up near ...
True. The 2nd one seemed so random, lacked continuity and direction. Suit was too much of a maguffin. Wasn't even a final boss. 1st one had purpose, surprises, literally flips you on your head at one point. Crysis 1 is simply a better game imho.
Not always about the length, but the pacing and ability to maintain interest. Platinumed Portal2, highest rated game this year, but by the end of the SP and co-op campaigns I was begging for it to be over. Haven't even downloaded the free DLC. I'm done. Couldn't even finish Elder Scrolls Oblivion back in the day. Got too distracted on side quests. I don't want to get burnt out on Uncharted the same way.
8 hour story, co-op, MP, that's enough. I have no de...
Sony should invest in new games? You're joking right?
2011 = Resistance 3, WhiteKnightChronicles 2, Disgaea 4, Uncharted 3, Ratchet&Clank All4One, Motorstorm Apocalypse, LittleBigPlanet2, inFamous2, Socom4, Yakuza4, DC Universe, Killzone3, Ar Tonelico, Trinity:Souls of Zill O'll, MLB11 The Show, plus everything on PSN from Pixeljunk Shooter2 to Payday:The Heist.
Already bought 'n' beat them all this year? No? Then wtf are people complainin...
Waste of money? Wrong? Conditioned? Addicted? So I'm supposed to savor the big black bars on the corner of my 4X3 15fps 420p game, lol? Mmm, jaggies!
Brainiacs, I bought the Sly Cooper games for PS2 and traded them in ages ago. I regretted it. GLADLY bought the Sly HD Collection for PS3 even though I could've just re-bought the PS2 copies for cheaper. Why? My TV is 16X9, the old games were 4X3. No thanks. My TV is HD, the old games weren't. My PS2 isn't hoo...
lol, no kidding. I specifically remember all the complaints on here when the summer U3 beta was on. From menus and boosters, lag to graphics. Now everyone loves it? Umm, when did that happen?
Just like all the complaints about the controls and spawn grenade camping in KZ2 and then KZ3 fixes it and people miss KZ2 calling it more "skilled". Gimme a break.
Same people that complained that Resistance was too grey, then when R2 came out they wanted the ...
@jetlian
I didn't disagree, but the part you're not getting --apart from some blatantly wrong info as LBP1 outsold every Fable individually not vice versa-- is that this is where the benefit of QUANTITY comes in and offsets the Halo advantage.
Halo has had 4 games already this gen with a 5th next month for that 25-30 mil you talk about. There's only been one Metal Gear Solid in comparison for 6 mil. But then when you throw on another 2 mil from inFamous, a...
That list isn't even complete, it's missing another million seller in Yakuza 3 and other games like Warhawk, Yakuza 4 and Haze which is close to a million. Weird cuz they're all stats from the same site. Point stands though. When you can even forget exclusives and still pull ahead, that's a good position to be in. MS was in that position back in '06/'07
@PSX99
4 million? So have Uncharted 2, LBP, GT5, GT5 Prologue, MGS4, GOW3. Resistance FOM and Uncharted DF are almost at 4 mil' too, so what's your point? Go buy Alan Wake or Crackdown 2. MAG sold more than them and it didn't even have a story. Expand your horizons.
Have you played Halo 3 lately gypsygib? How do sub-hd graphics, 2 weapon loadouts, 4vs4 = leagues better presentation and not barebones or sterile? You can't even look down the iron sights. I'll repeat that. You can't even look down the iron sights. Gears 2 was borked as well. You couldn't even choose a specific gametype at launch. Lets keep it real.
Ack, dbl post :(
Maybe platinums are fun for some people too? If you like the game it's fun getting that 100% in it, you got your money's worth and people can tell what you're into. You help eachother, there's a community aspect to it. It ain't just a lil' image whispering 'redrum' lol! Same way if you like a sports team you probably have a jersey or something to wave.
Having 30 games sitting at 2% can tell you a lot too, like the guy's a casual that finish...
