... I'm very interested in picking up GTA4, and a PS3 or Xbox360... but the ONLY 360 I'm interested in, is the Elite, which doesnt come with ANY bundle, and thus is overpriced in Europe.
Why bundle it with the arcade? It doesnt come with a HD, so the buyers of that system are probably not into Xbox Live, and DLC (which is where Microsoft is hoping to make a huge profit in this game).
And the premium is ok-ish, but nowadays 20 gigs just isnt enough, especially not...
...as 1; it's basic knowledge, and 2: doesnt really give any options about software to help you with managing your registry etc...
You'd think the author would at least include links to some usefull software (freeware or whatever), that can help you overcome your slow PC problems.
... the guy cant act in a leading role. He's an extremely boring, uninteresting actor who cant convey any credible emotion.
As a side-character he's OK, nothing special, but he simply cant carry the lead role in a movie. He aint good enough.
Such a shame that a promising title is ruined once again by bad casting... :N
Why didnt they get an actual arabian actor for the part, btw!?
... nor any other game that's DLC scamming.
I've felt that way ever since DLC-scamming popped up it's ugly head, and I've not bought a game that uses it ever since.
When I buy a game I want the complete game. Not half a game and then being asked to splash more on content that could and thus should have been included in the first place. Gaming is expensive enough as it is already.
... I dont care much for blonde women with big over the top boobs and guns. Plus her hair doesnt have enough volume.
Pretty bland, uninteresting depictment of a woman once again, just like Rachel in Ninja Gaiden/NGB/NGS.
I would have preferred Ayane, either as a friend or even as a playable character. She's cool, has a great design, an intersting personality, etc.
... so now you know how much more we in Europe have to pay.
It's ridiculous, isnt it!?
...but it seems like Sony is once again using the european gamers to screw over. First the delayed release, then the lesser SKU, AND the highest retail price, and now they're using europe as a dumpingground for their useless six-axis controllers.
I would really love a PS3, as it has some great GREAT games already out, and on the horizon, their PSstore content looks good, the hardware (PS3) seems to be great, etc etc... but the way Sony is treating us European gamers does kinda ...
... although it would have been an absolute must-buy if it would have had the Dual Shock controller included, instead of the useless six-axis...
I also would have preferred a bigger HD, obviously
... some pirate only software, some only movies, some only music, some only games, etc.
We only have a limited amount of money to spend on stuff, and some stuff isnt worth retailprice (especially software like Photoshop), but IS worth owning, watching, playing, etc.
Most companies have a huge interchange between employees going one, with people burning stuff for eachother, trading, etc.
The police doing it, is ofcourse a bit hypocrite, yet it's al...
... this DLC-scamming is really ruining gaming, offering developers an easy opportunity to make a few extra quick bucks, by offering content that could just as easily have been included in the retail version.
I won this game in a contest btw, but I wont be bothering with the DLC. I dont want any part of the whole DLC scam.
... and I feel it's ruining gaming as we know it, as long as developers keep abusing the new opportunities for their own greed, instead of using them to the benefit of the gamers.
Why bother downloading a game when it's more expensive than buying the retail version? If you are gonna download, why not download an illegal copy instead while you're at it.
When the developers are trying to rip YOU off, with overpriced downloadable games (compared to the retailprices)...
... I'll SUE you!"
(!)
-sigh-
Dumb lawsuits should be punishable by death...
... might not make a difference for this 1 game, but the fight against censorship is an important one, so we'll have to fight that, worldwide, every chance we get.
... I really hope japanese voices (with english subs) will be selectable again.
That english dub is horrible. Ryu Hayabusa, a japanese master-ninja, sounds like he just walked straight out of a bad prisonmovie...
... so 'next month' is always cheaper and better, than 'today'.
I'll be buying a FullHD plasma in July. A Panasonic HD plasma is about 1200-1300 euro now, so that will be my budget, and in July I will just look for the best deal for that kinda money. If that Panasonic costs a hundred bucks less by then, that's also great.
Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... Please dont get censored... etc...
Seriously... Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) was censored in Europ...
... they guy IS completely bonkers, so unless he fakes being sane, he will always look like a loony in a picture...
It's the power of photography(!) ;)
Dont really know why a raving idiot like Jack, who regularly makes a fool out of himself, and is constantly disrespecting still warm dead bodies to push his own agenda, is still getting all this attention, as if he's some kind of important person. He's not. he's just a nutter like that old woman down the street wh...
... why would he get assassinated because of his color?
Maybe 'big corporate business' will want to assassinate him because they will no longer control the White House when he's president?
Anyway, I sure hope he will just be a great president and stay in office for 8 years, getting that country and the rest of the world back on track.
I certainly think he's MUCH better suited for that job than any of those other hopefulls.
Anyway, on-topic: ...
... and shut the hell up.
Everyone has different tastes and preferences. Some prefer a PC, other prefer a Mac, and others are still using a typewriter and playing boardgames. So be it.
Every system has it's pros and cons. It's that simple.
Personally, I'm a graphic designer, I had to work with Macs for over 3 years on a daily basis, and it just didnt appeal to ME. Other graphic designers however, swear by them.
I prefer the PC, as it's ch...
... what about releasing a joypad with a proper working D-pad first!?
Anyway, They should have just kept selling the old Xbox, which is about as powerfull as a Wii anyway, only put it in a different casing, and with a motion-controller thingy.
That way they could have been selling these things for 150 bucks or something, way below Nintendo's price, plus you would already have a HUGE backcataloque of good quality games to play with...
