ME3 focus on too many areas than just making more realistic facial animations. LA Noire has probably the best close up facial animation but the core of the game sucks such as very basic shooting. Even walking/running around doesn't have good animation.

Uncharted does have very good facial animation but the gameplay keeps getting more simplistic, climb/run and shooting. The action is no near as deep as ME.

Gear is all about shooting but don't have the ...

The article author is still dreaming of PS4 having PS2 BC directly. It's not going to happen as Sony has been clear about reselling selected PS2 games as HD remastered version.

We'll continue to see such article being written for several more years and it doesn't matter how logical the articles will sound, Sony will not bring PS2 BC back. HD remastered is the only hope for more PS2 games.

Hoping to play PS2 games in BC is pointless. Sure you can d...

That's why I don't blindly trust Bethesda after having to deal with Fallout 3 and New Vegas that behaved similar if you put a lot of hours into the games.

Until Bethesda has proven Skyrim is fully fixed, I refused to buy the game. I don't "enjoy" the bugs as part of the game experience.

Bethesda said they have a lot of testing but clearly they are only testing the game in limited scale. Question is if Bethesda is going to expand the test...

Only if you have good PC hardware.

Played both PS3 and X360 ME3 demo. X360 has much smoother framerate right after Shepard walked out from the quarter. PS3 version is very obvious of the lower framerate visually.

That's because the enemies are mostly the same and Ezio gains new weapons on each sequel. I can "run" through most of the enemies very quickly since I know how to kill them and disappear quickly without having to kill all the guards.

I like every Assassin's Creed but Revelations is mostly Brotherhood like others said. Since the main quests missions are rather fragmented, I'll suggest to rent the game.

I rented from Redbox and able to complete all the story quests in 1.5 days. And that's all I care anyway.

That depends on the cross platform games. If the game has many achievements, most easier achievements have smaller Gamerscaore value since most games still have total of 1000 Gamerscore.

The same game with many achievements is better for trophies because there are only 3 regular types of trophies. So, the same 5 points Gamerscore achievement is worth more as Bronze Trophy. You may not see Bronze trophy value directly because each type of trophy advances the Trophy Leveling di...

LA Noire is one of the worst in how they did achievements. The original edition doesn't reward 5 achievements when completing a case. You earn achievements from after x kills or able to question certain person 100% correctly.

But each DLC case has 5 achievements. They know many gamers are more likely to buy DLC if it has many achievements, so play through 4 DLCs earns 20 achievement and 400 Gamerscore quickly. If you just want a quick 20 achievement and 400 Gamerscore, it...

I'm one who like FF XIII but don't like XIII-2 because the time paradox in the game simply makes no sense. The time paradox clearly is an excuse in trying to make XIII-2 less linear by sacrificing the story logic.

Gamers often called only after 20 hours into XIII before it gets fun. XIII-2 to me is complete deja vu for the first 20 hours before it gets fun where I finally get to places I haven't seen. But by then the game is almost over. The time paradox excuses o...

I hope Bioware used the delay time from last year to polished the single player the best they can than wasted on the cop-op.

I think most ME fans will agree that we don't care about co-op and want the single player to be very polished.

I assume all the demo codes being claimed by now? I tried quite a number of them randomly but been used.

What happened to the fan voted female Shepard that supposed to be the official face? It's not if I like the fan voted female Shepard but Bioware needs to stick with one official female face. So, now the place we'll see the fan voted female Shepard is on the CE box?

Or is Bioware quietly saying that ME3 face creator engine isn't capable to produce the fan vote female face and have to replace her with another face? Shame on Bioware for going through all the fan voti...

How come articles like this act like the player only have one ending? I have ME2 ending with everyone alive, ending with just about everyone dead but Shepard alive. I'm most curious about this ending because Shepard has almost crews left to help fight in ME3.

So, why do PS3 gamers pay Bethesda all these time for a broken game? The game should have been recalled until it has been properly fixed which means PS3 version should have been delayed until now.

But most gamers will disagree with me because they rather pay Bethesda a full price for a game that is not ready and full of bugs. The excuse of using the gamers as the tester to find bugs is not acceptable because we pay at full for the game.

If such practice is do...

So after all the fans voting, the only place we'll going to see the FemShep is the back cover of the Collector's Edition? Why? Bioware couldn't recreate the fan voted FemShep's face in the ME3 engine?

Can you get two sets of Catherine trophies, ie. start the game in UK English, finish the game with Japanese trophies? Then, reinstall the game in US English to play with English trophies? I'm not sure reinstalling the game will reinstall the trophies language type.

Yes, those two games do try more clever strategies in trying to force you out from hiding but it ends about there. As long I don't keep hiding at the same spot, the NCPs still don't have much AI not get stuck in the same scripted sequence. For Uncharted, the NCPs have infinite grenade, so they just keep throwing grenades at you to make you get off the hiding spot. Now, what if the NCP has limited grenades? They will probably use up all the grenades and be done.

I read...

Glad you see that too.

Very true. How to do you market advanced AI on NPC? Having pretty graphics immediately get wows.

Even when marketing more recent life-like robotic, I found all they show is pre-scripted movements. And public are easily impressed thinking if the robot is life-like and pre-scripted, it must good enough. Again people just don't understand for robot to ever become "aware", they need very advanced AI, not some dumb scripted mov...

For adventure/story driven games, introduce love and romance makes the characters relationship more interesting. But if it's scripted with no input from the player, is it any fun?

Example, Uncharted doesn't let the player to have any kind of input how Drake's love interest develops. It scripted and just there. Personally, I find it boring because being a game, I like to have input in each area. What is ND so afraid about letting the player control the relationship...
