I have to agree with Bea. I hate 1.05 and above. The AK is too accurate now, and people have gone from traversing the level to camping. Grenades are useless now, when all they had to do was increase the time it took to throw one to prevent suicide runners.
sigh. Pity too, it was my fave online game this year until that patch. They even have Helghast and Chimera now!
Also, no offense Commander, but I hate this whole love of killing someone in 2 shots a la CoD....
But when will they patch the loading?!
While I agree with ya, what about Demon's Souls at Gamespot?
Abizzel -
Better is subjective. You will never please everyone, and no title is a guaranteed hit. Even if your game delivers on all fronts, many people WILL just trade it in regardless because its so easy to do.
No, but I WILL see it as a transparent effort to garner hits at the expense of integrity, manipulating the already broken scoring system used by the media. But hey, Deadly Premonitions was a great game, m i rite?
Lot of damage control in here. Wow.
For ALL console owners - If you're going to talk up a title as the end all be all, please go out and support it with your $$ when it releases, kay?
E3 this year felt kinda like E3 2009 Redux. We saw titles announced LAST year (Reach, Rising) and then spent too much time on motion controls (which don't interest me personally). Seems like every conference this gen was about sequels. But when Black Ops is making record preorder numbers, its our own damn faults.
At the same time though, you have to understand people are upset at shifts in gaming, and feel like value has lessened in today's titles. I mean, look how much content is left to pre-order DLC? In GoW2, I can replay the game using what, 10 different costumes? GoW3 comes with ONE. The other 3 - 4 were all preorder bonuses with no way of me getting them. Rage on messageboards is easy, but also consider how few people can be considered articulate these days, and fail to put their anger into ...
Chak, sadly you'll STILL have people whine and say it's not enough. For instance, Infamous's good/evil track. I thought it was great. For many, they felt it wasn't.
Define replay value though? A tacked on MP mode like Bioshock 2 which no one will play?
Harder modes? Secrets? Achievements/Trophies? People STILL complain that there isn't enough value in a 10 - 15 hour adventure game. Devs just can't win it seems.
We need this game...
and Simpsons, and Xmen... stat!
What do YOU mean... "that" movie?
Huh?!
Hey look, another top 10. On N4G... amazing.
It's mostly a time issue now, sadly.
Trying to get back into Warhawk, my team was spawn camped hard... I wish I hung with it, cuz it's a fun game, but damn, that turned me off fast.
Isn't it uniquely fun though once you get into it? I too got slaughtered until I got into the groove. Every game has its own style and pacing, you just need to hang with it.
Fanboys will never shuttup. Best to just point and laugh.
While I'm enjoying War for Cybertron, I will no longer be buying CoD games. MW2 clenched that decision for me.
Another top 10 list... didn't see that coming...
sigh
Bring back MP with 1.04. That's all I ask.
And more coop levels.
