I'd rather spend $$ on games then kids. Why? Kids suck, but I am smart enough to make that decision BEFORE having one.
I don't mind DLC that adds 'side quests' that are not connected or have a big part of a games story, but FROM ASHES. I have just played this and the story deeply connects to the main plot of ME3.
Story is the biggest focus with this series and for Bioware to cut out an important part of it, a part that makes you feel more connected, is a shame.
Obviously this was cut out of the core game on purpose.
Shame on you Bioware
People need to stop looking at the ME series as an RPG.
It was NEVER an RPG
It IS a TPS with RPG ELEMENTS. (keyword : elements)
Some people are disappointed at ME because they are comparing it to the wrong genre
This game absolutely shines it what it is.
Why do people keep saying Mass Effect is an RPG series?
It is not. Not even the first Mass Effect was an RPG, it is simple a TPS with RPG elements NOT an RPG.
BIG BIG difference
Not sure why anyone would want to use anything but the default Shepard. The default face IS Commander Shepard.
Sorry to burst your bubble but the 360 and PS3 versions are the same -
same gameplay
same story
same side missions etc
The only difference are the visuals thats it.
So PS3 owners are playing the same game, unless there is a huge chunk of the story/missions cut out of the PS3 version we don't know about?
As much as I'd hate to admit it, these greedy companies aren't really to blame.
The vast majority of people would still buy the DLC, hence why EA do this, because they know most people will buy it regardless.
If the vast majority of consumers stepped up and didn't buy it, this wouldn't be happening.
Not surprised Sony losing $$ in the TV business, their TV's are overpriced.
Both Samsung and Panasonic provide better quality TV's and are cheaper.
Since when is selling 2m - 3m a "struggle" ? If thats the case, then besides Halo and Gears, 360 exclusives struggle also.
Seems to be people put Sony exclusives on a higher pedestal due to them being of higher quality and expect them to sell more because of this. Sadly this isn't always the case - look at COD - an average FPS that sells 10m.
But back to the question, I think the reason why it looks like PS3 exclusives struggle, to some peo...
I'm sure I am going to get a lot of disagrees here but I'll say it anyway.
Firstly Uncharted 3 is a GREAT game don't get me wrong, but the first half of the game is average at best. It takes half way through the game to get good. Second half, starting from the boat yard, absolutely AWESOME!. If only the first half was like that.
Secondly, the gameplay is incredibly basic and the climbing well, very limiting. You know you're climbing the ri...
I have no patches installed at all and surprisingly 175 hours in, I have only encountered around 4 bugs total.
But just because I haven't encountered many bugs myself, doesn't change the way I feel about Bethesda lackluster attempts at fixing them, because I KNOW there are a TON of bugs people have had.
And yet these patches come out and fix some of these bugs but break other things, this proves a severe lack of testing.
The lac...
You must of hated Uncharted 2 (GOTY) as well, because the gameplay in that had hardly any depth also.
Theres nothing to 'fix' gameplay wise, just peoples crappy taste in games. Go back to COD
I must say I feel sorry for PC gamers, they really have nothing going for them.
They bring up graphics as a 'Pro', but the sad truth for them is, graphics does not make a game better. You are still playing that same exact game, same GAMEPLAY. I've played a lot of multiplats on PC also and the extra graphic fidelity does nothing at all for the game. I was still playing the same game.
So the whole graphics is a "Pro" is invalid. Why? B...
1st person 100% of the time.
One of the best things about Elder Scrolls, is getting immersed into the world. Using 3rd person, you destroy that.
Don't know why anybody would want to play in 3rd person, just destroys immersion.
I am 50 hours in so far and I have not have had any bugs at all. I have had 4 crashes and I hear that you get a speech option from that College of Winterhold member at the entrance of the bridge, where you can tell her your Dragonborn, so you can gain entrance.
I never got this option and luckily I had to reload my save a couple times, until she gave me a spell I could use
If thats a bug, then I guess I got 1 bug so far.
Now that I have...
Kind of shocked by PS3 sales, kind of low. Not surprised by low PC sales, since it is available on PS3 and 360, kind of makes the PC redundant.
Overall, the sales are well deserved.
Definitely my GOTY so far. Absolutely brilliant game and an amazing world to get immersed in.
My biggest surprise so far? I have not encountered any bugs at all and I am 30 hours in.
PS3 ever so slightly sharper.
360 version a little washed out (decrease brightness couple notches and WALLA fixed)
Funny, usually it's the PS3 version that it more brighter.
Someone over on NEOGAF seems to have identified how to replicate the problem 100%.
Apparently according to him, it has nothing to do whether the game is installed or running off disk.
The cause is: the in game menu
When you bring up the in game menu, the game world goes blurred, while you have the menu up (for faster menu loading), then when you close the menu and return to game, the items you're wearing go low res.
So to s...
As long as the maps are designed with 64 players in mind sure. Most of the BF3 maps fit 24/32 players better then it does 64, except maps like Caspian Border.
If theres one thing that needs to be done is get rid of SP. It is not needed. The time spent on SP, could of been made improving and removing bugs in BF3.
A LIVING LEGEND
"When one village in the mundane monotony of Skyrim contains more optional content than all of ME3,I begin to seriously question whether a big budget narrative on an aging engine is truly the direction of excellence in gaming.I doubt it,I really do."
Why are you comparing a TPS to an RPG?
Of course an RPG is going to have more optional content.
Should we diss Uncharted 3 next for having pretty much non...
