People are saying that the temporary freezup when people join late, is still there. That was one of the two things they needed to fix for me to start playing again.
The problem with this thread is that everyone is going by assumptions made by a second-rate website, in turn based on a very vague comment. Anyone here can speculate just as easy as the site that posted this and be right. So here's my guess:
I'm guessing he's referring to the storytelling. I love MGS4 to death, it came as close as it can to a perfect game, but the length of cutscenes was unbearable at times. We, the westerners, especially Americans, are used to processing large...
LOL!!!Bubbles for you.
to write a whole article just to lead into another "Metal Gear is coming to 360" statement.
FPS without the S. Guns with no bullets. Sounds like a winner. </sarcasm>
I use ProFlight WITH SixAxxis. Left analogue stick is used for aiming.
1. That's why I mention lag. Fuels of war IS LAGGY. Big time. I can make a 200 player game, it won't mean sh!t if it's unplayable.
2. Leave your PC out of it. I said "consoles" for a reason. PSN and Xbox live are private networks and have larger bandwidth overhead in order to provide additional security and/or proprietary comm. protocols. Because of that, it's easier to have a PC game support more players. The downside of PC - more possibilities for cheating.
Does NO ONE here play Warhawk?
Warhawk - 32 players with no lag (official servers)
Resistance 2 - 60 players, no lag.
Name a game on another console that has this.
420 hours of playing Warhawk with SixAxxis. Wouldn't play it any other way. The game experience is totally different, once analog sticks are freed up to do other stuff.
(About GTAIV) "only a few people actually saw all the cut sequences because the game was so tough to play. Are we making games too difficult? That's a question the industry has been asking itself of late."
How many things are wrong with this statement?
1.) The game was NOT tough to play. There ARE difficult games out there, but GTA was not one of them.
2.) "only few people"? How would he know? Besides the only people who didn't ...
Peter More talked about this in a recent interview. MS used the internet and FUD tactics with the first Xbox and before 360 launch. That's all it is.
Notice how many of these articles come from sites, scratch that, blogs that you've never heard of before?
Over the holiday season, I saw a couple of TV spots for PS3. One of them was for PSN. It was one of the worst commercials ever - I have a PS3 and use PSN so it was pretty clear to me, but people who don't, had no idea what this commercial was trying to advertise.
PS3 has great games, quality hardware, free online play. I honestly believe that marketing, not the price is what's holding PS3 back. At least against Xbox, maybe not the Wii, as we're talking two different crowds here.
Microsoft took an average FPS and made it into marketing sensation, propelling their console to the top. Sony has really dropped the ball with advertising, at least here, in U.S. I don't understand why they just sit and do NOTHING - the world is theirs for the t...
I don't think so. Almost everyone who commented here (especially those in favor of SR2) has played both. I have.
You are right about this: SR2 IS a joke, silly and childish. It doesn't take itself seriously, just like the old GTAs. Fun vs. Realism.
Get it used on eBay if you don't want to spend $60, this way if you don't want to keep it, you can put it back on eBay and only lose a couple of dollars on the whole thing.
Once you play it, you'll see what's wrong with GTAIV. The only thing IMO GTAIV did better is graphics, in that department they win hands down.
But have you actually played Saints Row? Because I also thought GTAIV was pretty good, until I got SR2 and GTAIV's flaws bacame obvious.
I think Yahtzee's review is the most accurate one and a great comparison between GTAIV and SR2:

I'm also hoping Godfather II will impress... I kinda liked the first one, it had it's own feel. Driving was boring though.
This article compares multiplayer even though MP sucks in both games.
You can have my copy for $20. Barely used. I'm keeping the mic, though.
