... were it not that the euro version of Ninja Gaiden Sigma is censored, and thus should be avoided.
Sadly, cause it's an awesome awesome game. I'm a huge fan of NGBlack, and will definately import the US version of Sigma (uncensored) as soon as it budgetpriced!
Such a shame about the censorship in the euro version :(
... but I'd rather see them fixing that damn D-pad, in time for Street Fighter 2 HD and SF4 coming out, as well as for existing games like Virtua Fighter 5.
... plus it seems like it's a 2d sprite-based fighter, so that's nice :)
WIll it be a retail-game, or for Marketplace/PSN?
Looks promising :)
... cause you can still costumise your own character. Plus you can just use the setting because of a huge tournament that's taking place there near the end of career mode or something.
Seriously, I'm sick of constantly skating in 'American' cities with the same types of colours and buildings and trees and cars and people etc. What's wrong with changing that setting for once!?
... cause for some dumb and never explained reason, Gamecube fans are hardly found in shops anymore, and especially the good titles are extremely rare to come across. (here in Holland)
Which is weird, cause it's not like the Wii has that many must-have titles yet, so you'd think, with the BC, that Nintendo would at least keep some of their best Cube titles on the shelf, maybe give them a new cover with 'Wii-able' on it, or something.
So what use is a must-have Ga...
... I hope they will give us a whole new city to explore, and personally, I'd like a modern big asian metropolis with lots of new buildings, green parks, and traditional suburbs and low-income slums etc.
I'm growing pretty tired of always skating, shooting, and racing through big american cities that all look the same.
Be a little bit creative here and mix the best of the big asian cities (Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kyoto, Shanghai, Macau (nice european influences), Kual...
... but 60+ EURO is alot more, and too expensive.
Games should be 45-50 euro MAX. When games are affordable and offer good value for money, people are less likely to pirate.
... I still say the lack of must-have games for the PSP is what causing the low sales.
360 has must have, original games.
PSP just has remakes and ports. Ibood.com had a PSP for sale 2 days orso ago, and I was considering buying one... but when I thought about what games it had, I just pretty much struck a blank, as I really couldnt think of more than a few must-haves, if any.
If PSP developers want more sales, they should make better and more original games, tbh....
... that once a console is hacked, people are alot more eager to buy it. Nintendo makes a lot of profit on the console ND the accesories, plus even alot of people that DO have a modded console, will still go out and buy a couple of games in the store.
... more about there being a lack of really must-have titles for that system? Most are ports of PS2 games, or re-makes of older games.
Most of us here are gamers, and are more than willing to spend 50 bucks on a good game. I think for many people the problem is that nowadays for consolegaming, you get alot of extra bother and costs.
The 360 is still a very expensive console to buy. Here in Holland it's still 450 for an Elite, and that's WITHOUT GAMES! (!)
Add to t...
.. to later charge you for DLC, deserve to be pirated tbh.
I will have 1 unmodded 360 so I can buy games for it that I feel are worth it, and that I wanna play online etc.
But I'll also probably get a modded 360, for games that use the DLC scam. To me, it's a guestion of principle. I really dont want any part in paying for DLC, unless it's really REALLY worth it. Games are expensive enough as it is already, especially here in Holland.
... is 'theft'.
Ofcourse gamers will resort to illegal downloads etc, when prices are that ridiculous.
They should bring the european prices back to 40-45 euro or something.
If that's the price for a game, more people will go out and buy their games, instead of downloading them or waiting 5 months for a price-drop.
Just look at DVD. Nowadays, DVD's are pretty reasonable priced, and it's become a mass-market product that sells very well, even...
... as long as this time, it WILL be 100% Backwards Compatible, and the hardware isnt a complete joke and insult.
In fact, I would WELCOME a next-gen Xbox, if it is fully BC, cause that means we wont have to put up with the current RROD model anymore.
If the next-gen consoles arent BC, I doubt I'll bother anymore. It's incredibly annoying not being able to play a classic game like Rallisport Challenge 2 anymore, cause the old Xbox has crapped out and the 360 isnt...
... and that we dont HAVE to buy it of we dont want it.
However, I believe Microsoft strongly encourages developers to charge for this kinda stuff, and doesnt want them to release it for FREE, which is sad and a shame.
And like the guy above me says, we should at least get some way to make our own themes or pics or whatever, and put them on our 360.
I dont know how the PS3 handles this issue btw? Can you make your own stuff for the PS3? Or isnt it ...
... and I'm really curious as to which idiots ARE actually paying for crap like this!?
... pretty much perfect.
...however, Ken and Ryu look like crap. Ryu looks a bit to western, plus his hair is too short. Ken's face is just awfull. I doubt they'll 'fix' them, though.
I really REALLY hope they will have Fei Long. He's pretty much my favourite character.
They say realistic driving sims dont sell as well as they would like, and I'm guessing they are looking at the 3 big sim-racers of the last few years.
Ok let's see:
-Forza 2? Basically Forza 1.5, or Forza HD, plus a DLC scam going on which everyone knew about before the game was released. For many that had played Forza 1 on Xbox, it wasnt REALLY worth picking up at full price, plus if you're like me, you wanna avoid games that will DLC scam you anyway.
-DTM3/Toca3? Hardl...
... but the ridiculous price of both the console as well as the games, plus the fact the proper joypads arent here yet, is keeping me from buying one.
...but it is a bit of a pain, cause when customs get a hold of them, you must pay taxes and some other extra costs which are totally ridiculous.
The European gamers just get screwed over, which is why I hope that when the PS3 gets hacked, the customers will bite Sony right back in their ass.
Like I said before, I am against piracy etc, and I have a whole room full of dvd's and games to proof it, but when companies are ripping you off, the gloves come off and loyalty go...
... I dont really see another pricedrop happening soon. Microsoft seems very happy charging 450 euro for a barebones Elite(!)
Personally, I wont get one untill it hits 300 or lower.
And Sony has already dropped the price way down, and because it now offers more value-for-money that the 360 (hardware wise, cause built-in wifi, no expensive memory cards needed, built-in HD, built-in Blu-ray, free PSN, etc), it seems it's selling pretty damn well at the moment, so why would...
