I intend to buy it @ a later stage. My baby girl broke dads 6-axis so its going to eat into my gaming budget for the next 2 months. Why am I explaining all this? Well ladies and gentleman it doesn't cluckin matter how well a game sells on its release date/month. We are in the midst of a global recession. These "journalists" need to grow up and stop hating on SONY.
A ferrari is too heavy on fuel
A ferrari is not a wise buy during a recession
A ferrari is not very spacious
A ferrari is very expensive to maintain.
Therefore we should all buy toyotas and don't bother with those useless ferraris.
I personally find watching DVDs nowadays is like watching a video cassette back when DVD came out.
Don't bother I have one that hasn't been booted up in what soon will be approaching 4 weeks.
Damn wife begged me to get one, I could've bought blu-rays, games accessories or a surround sound system. But I had to succumb to the needs of a woman.
I saved my 60gb baby this morning. I unplugged her, lightly vacuumed the vents and wiped her down with a soft moist cloth. Till she was fingerprint free and the morning sun glissened off her curvaceous body and chrome strip.
Dont hate...
Remember this is $50mil for R* but there are other costs that none of us will know.
I am anti DLC especially the ones that aren't free. But kudos to MS if this is successful.
Nice review. I must get this game...didn't preorder though.
I just have too many incomplete ones, aah the joys of being a husband and father
The Americans are broke man. They are hit hardest by the global meltdown.
My sister who lives in California is trying to sell her house and move to South Africa a 3rd world country mind you.
How can it be expected that a pricey top of the range entertainment system is going to sell well.
Why mention those 2 games.
I do not agree that the 360 is holding back the next gen developement but it's limitations are unavoidable.
I cant believe I bought this f#€^in console it's a disgrace.
Completed this for the 3rd time lastnight.
MGS4 is like a classic movie you can play it again every now and then and still be awestruck. It's truly an epic.
I say go for it. The series died ages ago. EA aren't idiots the managed to change the FIFA franchise from a lacklustre arcade game to arguably the most realistic next gen footy experience (not that they didn't benefit from Konamis stagnation).
As a Playstation owner I have to admit I am jealous. Oh well...
Aargh the ps3 is doomed!!
I'm going to trade my console, games and blu ray movies for 8 xbox 360s and wait for Alan Wake.
But JC how much 'freedom' did GTA have really? If you wanted could Goldberg/Goldstein live?...could Roman be saved?
This is my point GTA 4 has fantastic aesthetic elements but to me it was stripped down.
I haven't played SR2 yet but will be picking it up this week.
GTA 4 is immense the way the world around 'lives' the driving physics the graphics but for me the game lacks soul and I blame this on the script and characters barring Brucie he was as GTA was and should be.
Am I the only retard that doesn't care if the PS3 is behind because the rest of the world cant afford it? As long as the games and blu ray are available I don't know why fans should be bothered.
SONY are a victim of one thing....a recession nothing else.
Had the PS3 had been released in the era of easy credit and free spending it would have killed.
I swear Sony is run by a robot, cyborg or other AI.
They just completely lack emotion. They are programmed to send out messages when prompted and don't believe in marketing and PR. Resistance 2, Little big planet and even the PS3 have fallen victim to the corporations inability to sell itself.
Come on Sony stop believing that your reputation sells itself. Get in there!!
I'm happy Seabass isn't getting the standing ovations he had become accustomed to. He needs to pull out the finger and take PES to the next level. It still has the magic gameplay and individuality, FIFA has the gameplay to a degree but lacks PES' finishing and ability to differentiate players like Deco to Mascherano.
But yeah PES has become dated.
After a decade of playing WE/PES and scoffing at EA, I was invited by a friend to partake of the forbidden fruit that is FIFA 09.
I must say once you boot this baby up it looks magnificent, the animations and movement piddle all over PES.
However, after 3 hours I was over it.
Hey be nice PES will again prevail as the king of footy games.......I hope.
