I really hoped, nay wished, that Backbreaker would be able to dethrone Madden. If the gameplay was great then the lack of an NFL license wouldn't matter too much. However, after watching the recent videos, I have a feeling the game will be just mediocre. I hope I'm wrong because Madden is such a horrible video game. From a technical standpoint, Madden is broken--it has the most glitches and inconsistencies I've ever seen in a game. Also, the devs of Madden will not address the gli...
The Second Amendment is not a "God given right" it is it a Constitutional right--there is a difference. I fully support and uphold the Second Amendment.
Just because you or some other people just "complain in forums" does not mean all people do. And also, "Call a representative and complain if you truly care" is your solution? That is just as impactful as sitting at home complaining, to be honest. Additionally, Michigan does not represent the US...
Just in case there is confusion, the purpose of the Supreme Court is to determine the constitutionality of a bill, law, trial, etc. THEY DO NOT MAKE LAWS!
There are so many factors about the law California wants to pass that would greatly overlap into other categories--thus opening up dozens and dozens of new cases--that it's extremely unlikely the court will uphold this law (i.e. declaring it unconstitutional) This is evident because of past precedent that has been set by the Sup...
You, sir, must not be American if you think we hate sex! lol
The real question, however, is it unlike anything I've ever PLAYED before? It's easy to make a good shooter with different characters, setting, plot, etc... but it's the ones that bring a different way to play or a unique feel that, in my opinion, shine the brightest.
It's always nice to see someone get owned by empirical evidence! Well done oobob! And when you look at the best selling franchises of all time, Halo is no in the top tier. Not hating on Halo, just a point of observation!

Has anyone considered that idea that Crysis 2 will be everything and every bit as good as the devs and public relations guys have said it will be? Maybe it really is a Halo-killer, with better graphics than Killzone 2, an amazing story with great characters, etc....
Odds are against it, of course, but wouldn't it be great if it wasn't just PR talk!?
I agree, the game does look graphically impressive and sounds like a lot of fun too. However, since when have Sony's first party devs been slacking to point where they "need to step their game up"? Competition is good, and Sony's first part devs I'm sure will continue to build off their successes such as Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, God of War 3, etc--especially in the visual department.
I see what you're saying, and I respect it. Monster Hunter was one of my favorite games on ps2.. I loved it. The wii just isn't something that appeals to me... and as much as I love MH, I simply wouldn't buy a system for one game. I'm not "boycotting" the franchise... I just won't get to play it this gen probably. Now, if they make another that is on ps3 (exclusive or multiplat, I don't care!) then I would most certainly play it.
"you were never really a fan to begin with" ...if only you knew how much of a fan I WAS. I spent countless hours playing that game... I played it online until they closed down the servers. Am I bitter? Obviously. MH on ps3 could've been amazing... and since I am not getting a Wii ever and therefor will not be playing a 'next gen' MH... the game is dead to me.
I agree, more original IPs the better. However, it is the money making franchises such COD, Madden, GeOW, Halo, etc... that allow publishers and developers to take chances on new, unproven IPs. If the 'big' franchises fail, then I think we would be less likely to see riskier innovation in a new IP. I see games like Madden and COD as necessary evils in order to allow for innovation with a new IP.
And from a gaming perspective, I like annual franchises. They are nice reliable game...
I really felt like this game would have been something special as open world game. I really love the exploration concept in video games, however, most of the time you aren't "scared" to explore. Exploring a new or unfamiliar place in real life is suspenseful, if not scary at times. To me, Demon Souls captured that essence well (though it's not "open world" game). I thought the atmosphere and plot of AW really could've been an amazing open world experience.
But...
Eff you Capcom! This in no way makes me feel happier that Monster Hunter is not coming to the ps3.
Monster Hunter, you are dead to me!!
Donatello or Michelangelo from the Ninja Turtles. Sure, they weren't video game characters first.. but, they were in a video game. And I can't think of anything cooler than kickin' it with these two. Ralph is too emotional and Leo is too serious. Also, if someone messed me, I'd have a f******* Ninja Turtle getting my back!!
I don't know man, I think one day Luigi would snap. He would finally get tired of being in Mario's shadow and buying your groceries that he'll go crazy and start shooting the place up!!
Man, every time I hear the name "Monster Hunter" I get upset. Yeah, I'm still bitter it's on the ps3... lol.
Well before WWII, and during, America was very different. They had a policy of isolationism. It wasn't until the fall of the Soviet Union did America become the world's sole superpower. If you do you research, you'll find that no nation--ever--has known the economic wealth and military might the US had at the end of the Cold War. There has, ever since, been a lack of grand strategy for the US going forward... a result is misguided wars and bad foreign polices. I can link referrence if you'd l...
@kraze Exactly!
@kerrby It wasn't supposed to "verify" my point. I was simply commenting on it, as I stated by saying, "just a note of observation". Generally, the more well-spoken you are or the better you write, the more creditability your argument has.
@TOO Anyway, my point was you're going to say Americans should mind their own business and respect others' culture--then you should not stereotype Americans as hypocrites in the same argument. That is borderline hypocritical in it...
The list is pretty bad. I'm surprised Shadow of the Colossus is not there.
Slightly off topic. The most epic ending ever, for any game, was Shinobi on the Sega master system (or arcade). LOL.
