The "westernization" of japanese games turns me off. FFXIII? No thanks. I want my JRPGs to be JRPGs! Bring on Persona 5!
"Reviews are reviews..I could care less if it's Edge or IGN..but you will NEVER see 360 gamers whining about an EXCEPTIONAL review of over 90% because they gave a game .1 lower than a PS3 game."
Could this very article not be construed as "damage control" and "whining?"
There will always be people that disagree, and thus whine, regardless of console allegiance.
EvilDead, you're actually right... to an extent.
But it's sad, when most people point out inconsistencies in reviews like those you mentioned, they are labeled as "nuts" for believing in "conspiracy theories," even when places like Edge wear it on their sleeves.
Maybe now more people will understand, reviews are just as biased as any other form of news?
And that's without getting into the debate of what constit...
Do want.
Will buy!
Indeed.
I have to ask, why are people even arguing about this? Is there honestly a single game that interests people so far that isn't aimed at the casuals?
I live in the good ole US of A. I didn't see a SINGLE HR commercial anywhere. If there was a marketing campaign (demo aside) that's news to me, honestly.
Again, I hate to bring up the comparison, but there has to be more to it. Heavy Rain wasn't marketed at all and sold what, 5 times as much?
Maybe the target audience just wasn't on the 360? Maybe RDR was the defacto choice that month? To say it was marketing alone I think isn't the entire story.
Expect KZ3 to be knocked down by them for not "mixing it up" enough from KZ2" or because it "copied jetpacks from Reach."
Mark my words.
I have to agree. Neither of these motion control gimmicks, Move/Kinect, will impress me until I see them properly utilized and smartly implemented into a AAA caliber title such as Halo, Uncharted, etc.
Motion control gives you unlimited possibility! ...as long as your character is stationary.
$100 then for the full game? Sorry, no thanks.
Sold.
As long as its something NEW, not MGS, I'll be happy. MGS's story is done, it's time to let this guy make something new and amazing!
I didn't see a single commercial for Heavy Rain. Why didn't it sell so low?
There's more to it than just advertising.
AW is not the second coming, it IS a solid game and it deserved better sales than what it got. Very disappointing when people hype titles nonstop (AW, Modnation) or begs for a US port (Yakuza) and then no one goes out to buy them.
People need to put their money where their mouths are and support the titles out in the real world, instead of just for some BS message board console war.
IMHO.
There's more than just titles? No way!
Announcements of announcements. Lame.
Remember when SE used to make all kinds of new properties? Einhander. Xenogears. Parasite Eve. Brave Fencer.
Now we get FF this and FF that. =(
I just kind of liked that all the weapons were created on the fly (such as the Gigawatt blades) instead of being tools. Thought it was kinda cool.
I actually liked Cole. His new extreme BMX look isn't doing it for me. Bring back yellow wearing, gruff voiced, kind of a dick acting, no electro-wand wielding Cole plz!
Cool. So what's the "prize" for 360 "winning" second place? I'd love to know.
Also, can I share some of your MS stock?
Scores need to be done away with already IMHO. They control too much, and are way too arbitrarily assigned. I mean, just look at the fanboy musings of Edge when it comes to Crackdown2/Infamous 2 already, and that's not releasing til 2011!
