Mastiff, that was SUPERBLY well said man.
....so you're saying linear games are less impressive than open world games then?
Tell me why the mostly linear FFXIII looked worse on the 360 then?
Why did the mostly linear Alan Wake fail to compare to Uncharted 2?
Logic fail.
MGS4 has at least a couple HOURS of pre-rendered sims.
Aside from TWO pre-rendered bits, all of MGS4's cinematics were in real time. Fail more please.
Exclusive DLC on SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLATFORM releases needs to die. Like now.
A perfect scores does not denote a perfect game. That's another problem, the scale has left 1 - 10, and become 7 - 10. Anything else is ignored.
Sorry, PS2/Xbox generation ganes > PS3/360 gen games, still, IMHO.
Someone gave UC2 an 11? Hah.
This has NOTHING to do with Halo, any franchise or console preference. The review system itself is broken, across all lines, and needs to change.
Review scores are stupid.
Review system is biased, inconsistent and broken.
Nothing new from me to say, I wish more bloggers/people would bring this fact to light.
One can milk a FRANCHISE and not have every product be the same. Star Wars is a heavily milked franchise (cereal!) and yet its main media was movies.
IhateyouFanboys, I should really clarify. I don't want to see yearly versions of these titles. I love MGS. I think Halo is great. But when you make it annual, you strip out what makes it special. It feels like a cash grab, not an event worth being excited for. The brand becomes diluted, and invariably quality suffers. I thin...
"ODST was always just an expansion pack"
Flipfloptastic commentary on this one.
I don't mind the franchises continuing, but let's stop diluting them.
CoD, MGS, and Halo need to stop with this crap.
Like, right now.
How does everyone already know the gameplay length of this title?
Anyways, buying day 1!
It IS disappointing that the space level was a once off though... especially after going through all the trouble of developing it, no?
This is our fault.
$15 Mappacks. We said they were okay. Now we're screwed.
Here here T9!!
Anti-Kinect?
How about Pro-"Show me some damn games that are 1) not on rails 2) appeal to the hardcore 3) don't require a controller as well."
Then we'll talk. All there is thus far is tech. Show me the compelling GAMING EXPERIENCE. I don't think one should "shut their face" because they want to see the damn games. (Note: This of course doesn't apply to haters/trolls, just legit gamers)
But hey, I'm sil...
Then why not just ALWAYS hold the controller with two hands? I mean... Kinect seems kind of useless and a novelty if you NEED a controller at all.
Again, I'd love to see a GAME prove me wrong here.
NGS2 had perfect combat, and a great combination of challenge without being too cheap.
Also, great final boss. Please nail it again!
"Kinect-Controller Hybrid games, for everything else. "
What's the point of marketing a device that is "controller free" if you have to indeed use a controller for any kind of serious gaming experience? It just seems poorly thought out, like the tech was more important than the actual GAME content.
Until I see otherwise... prove me wrong developers.
Take them out
1) Not everyone has online
2) It should be based on MY skill at the game, not related to other's skills/lack of a life/grinding obsession (looking at you KZ2's 3% Trophy)
3) What happens if the game just isn't played online? I'm screwed (Hiya Ghostbusters!)
