I bought it for the games.
Tell me again the media isn't biased and full of fanboys writing nothing but drivel? Try and tell me with a straight face please.
More DOA2:HC, less DOA3/4 please. I prefer the casual timing/crazy reversals. It was more fun, flashy, and a better party game IMHO.
Winner - Gamers.
Loser - My wallet.
This focus on "winning" is getting slightly pathetic however. MW2 "winning" GOTY from Gametrailers didn't make it any more fun or any less buggy, for instance. Wii selling bajillions of units didn't sway me back to purchase one either.
How do you "win" a year? I'm still lost on this idea. It's media BS.
If the console(s) YOU own have kept you entertained, that's what matters most.
That's cool. I'm still amped for Mass Effect 2 to really give my vid card a workout.
I'm just totally NOT caring about this game oddly enough. I never thought I'd say that about a main FF.
Curious to see Lens of Truth and Gametrailer's take on this.
Like... with leather and a whip?
So EVERY Fps needs to be Halo or CoD, or it sucks now?
Man I miss the days where you actually had to, you know, AIM better than your opponent.
"Truth is, the people reviewing games probably know more about them then you do, I bet they've played more games, I've bet they've beaten more games, I bet they're less biased, and therefore I trust their opinion more."
For real? >_<
I develop games. I've probably played more games than them. I have no stake in the media or advertising $$$. Should you trust my opinion even more then?

Which was pretty much shot down by titles like Arkham and UT3 (both great looking/running U3 engine games).
*cough*
Because sadly too many people are sheep, and like what they are told to like to fit in. I commend anyone who stands by their OWN review, not some biased journalist. Like Bayonetta because YOU like it, not because some guy gave it an 8 or 9 or 10 or some other useless number.
LOL. ZOMG DOOMED!
First party. Third party. Western. Eastern.
Different teams, different design philosophies, different genres, different knowledge base.
"Tapping a system," be it 360, PS3, Wii, whatever... is just conjecture. You did the best with what you had AT THE TIME. Well, development knowledge presses forward people. This is not a stagnant industry. You learn new tricks.
My biggest beef with MGS4 is the lack of Trophies and the fact that I can't just in...
No?
Uncharted 2. A "non-innovative sequel" blah blah WILL NEVER score higher than a 9.3 according to a totally unnecessary "rebuttal" editorial. Not a week later, MW2 scores higher.
Bias exists in the media. Right now it favors the 360. Doesn't make them 360 fanboys however, just makes the media inconsistent and hellbent on pleasing the majority. Hence why review scores are stupid, arbitrary, and rather useless. Yet people cling to them like doct...
"I guess Dante;s Inferno will get a 7.5 huh?? Yea Right more like a 10. then GOW3 will get a 8.5 for not doing anything new. "
I see this happening without a shadow of a doubt.
"you DO know you DON"T have to re-invent the wheel everytime to still BE FUN AND INTUITIVE! "
You're totally right vicious. Though I do find it hilarious when one game DOESN'T reinvent said wheel, is amazing, and gets slammed for doing nothing new... meanwhile other games do nothing new, are fun and get a free pass in reviews.
<3 "journalism"
Controlled environment.
We can't even get online gaming working reliably (PSN, Live, lag!) and you expect streaming of HD games to work like that? Forgive me if I'm skeptical.
Yup. Bayonetta is more akin to DMC than GoW. But hey, they need hits, since game journalism is a joke.
Why is everything a contest or clash or battle or something to be won?
Different games. Different focus. ZOMG they hit the same day! This is as stupid as the Gears 2 vs Resistance 2 BS.
I've purchased both. I enjoy both. You should try that too... you know, having your own opinion on things.
