..the xbot "Ratchet and Clank" logic, Mass Effect isn't a AAA game. On a serious note, it's distrubing so see all of the crying anytime a game releases and doesn't score 9s and 10s. Many of you are ridiculous, and don't seem to realize that Gamespot employs more than one reviewer hence the reason Mass Effect may score the same as some other game that's lesser in your eyes.
I'll still be picking it up regardless because I understand that overall the scores have been stellar, ...
Nolan Bushnell left Atari during the 2600's lifetime. The company was run by businessmen who had no clue about gaming, and churned out bad game after bad game (and bad systems like the 5200) with no care about quality.
Anyway, Powerofgreen, you are a perfect example of an Xbot. A mindless lemming that has sold their soul to Microsoft, because after all, it's the only system you own. Don't worry though as there are Sony fanboys on this site that are just as dumb as you.
As an owner of every current console (and every previous console for the past few generations), I don't play sides but merely comment on what I see. It's the folks like me who haven't sold their souls to companies that can see the for...
Well, I could be wrong, but MGS4 on 360 is just something I can honestly see happenin. Of course that doesn't mean it will happen.
As for the game taking up 25gb of space I find that hard to believe. Unless there's hours and hours of High def CGI footage there's no reason the game would need that much room. I do believe in Sony pushing for us to believe we need the extra space, just to give some sort of reason to justify them forcing the Blu Ray format on us.
It's kind of like...
I'd have to have unlimited access to the Playboy mansion.
You people do realize that intense pressure is sometimes put on developers to have their game "done" in time for a holiday release to maximize sales right?
We already know the team behind this game is killer just from playing the Prince of Persia titles. The problem lies with Ubisoft forcing this onto the market before it was finished.
Even EA delayed Army of Two when the EGM review crew complained about unreliable teamate AI, misplaced audio cues, and long load time...
The Atari I grew up with died a long time ago, it was the real Atari with Nolan Bushnell. The "Atari" of today is in name only.
It might not be until next year, but it's going to happen. Team Ninja did Sigma, and even though Itagaki is biased towards anything Sony, Team Ninja is still developing for PS3.
Now the common argument is that M$ is publishing it. Yes they are, but if you've been around gaming for more than six months you know this means nothing, as everything is a play on words. So while it's true that Ninja Gaiden 2 is a 360 exclusive, Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma is NOT. Mark my words xbots, it'll be on P...
Don't you xbots know a classic when you see one?!! Oh, and Caracossone was a free giveaway for 48hrs, so why are they counting each download as a sale?
Anyway, I charged one of the enemies for some melee attacking, and because there was one of those short stone walls behind him, my character had him leaned backwards over the wall and slugged him. Amazing how much detail there is in this game. Most other titles would've had zero collision detection with the wall and the enemy would've just disappeared into it.
Gears of War is gorgeous, but in my opinion Uncharted has far more attention to detail. It features the most realistic characters I've ever seen in a game, the backgrounds are beautiful, and for the first time in the history of gaming, your clothes actually appear soaked and clingy when you climb out of water. Not only that but the jungle is alive with swaying branches, and tall grass that actually gets brushed aside when you walk through it.
Good looking and well textured games like...
It's not nearly as good as SMB3,4 or Yoshi's Island in my opinion.
This is certainly nothing like the old NG NES titles back in the day. Just like I bought the NES original back when it released, I'll be buying this to, but I have some issues with it. First and foremost the action needs to be slowed down a little. Second, I don't mind blood and gore, but the enemy Spider clan Ninja look like characters from back when GI Joe jumped the shark. Some of the monsters (not in the video) I've seen also resemble Masters of the Universe figures that got the axe. So ...
For the longest time the only reviews I ever considered were from EGM, Diehard Gamefan, Game Informer and Next Generation. Two of those are gone (sadly), but I also look into IGN, Gametrailers, and Gamespot as well. It's really the big picture between all of them.
My problem with Metacritic, is that they have so many crappy sources that contribute to the whole rating. I could care less what 80% of their sources have to say, yet they play a part in the overall score. A perfect example...
Carcassone will make the list. I dig it, thanks M$!
There's nothing scary about HotD 3 or even 2.
competeting games should offer $25-$30 gift cards for free with purchase just to level the playing field a bit.
I bought a Wii at launch so I could have the Nintendo exclusives as well, but this thing's no different than the GC was. Another Nintendo platform that's only worth buying for the first party software, but your comment had nothing to do with the point of this story.
Don't understand why you felt the need to bring Sony into the picture, by trying to compare "AAA" games. You can throw a "AAA" nametag on whatever you wish, but as a gamer who's been around the block f...
that don't buy many games, and are only looking for something close to Wii sports to play, hence the strong sales of Wii Play. The majority of them only bought the thing because of Wii Sports, not Metroid and Zelda.
Despite PS3 sales being weaker than hoped, both the PS2 and PSP are putting up strong sales every single month. Any moron like Bladestar who thinks they should stop "milking" a strong selling product is a complete moron. Sony is not like M$ who just kills a system so they can focus on their new one (wait until they kill off the 360 for their next system), they are smarter than that, and know that you don't kill off something that'll still desired by consumers.
So while PS3 ...
