Lol I wonder what Gears 2 would be like with 60 players. Probably mindless chainsawing.
I guess she realized that people are tired of hearing about GTA 4 turning kids into psychopaths and wanted to do something new.
I just noticed that Halo 3 had over 10 100% reviews.
But the point I was trying to make is that you shouldn't always have fans reviewing games. You need reviews that would reflect the opinion of some average guy who picks up a game because it looks cool. I think if a game is getting 10s everywhere it should appeal to everyone, not just it's fanbase.
Let's see who would win in sales
MGS4 -
Less install base
Casual gamers probably won't enjoy
People who haven't played previous MGS games will be confused
Gears 2-
Bigger install base
Will be hyped to death by MS
Can be enjoyed by the average 15 year old who has never played a game with a deep story
If you had nothing but that game series fans reviewing a game then many sequels would recieve extremely high scores that they don't deserve. It would be like having nothing but Halo fans reviewing Halo 3 and giving it 10s across the board.
Though instead of giving it an 8 they could have said something like "only MGS fans should play this."
Because Sony's milked games are all great. All of the Ratchet and Clank games are good, all of the GoW games are great. Halo has gotten worse and worse. I haven't played Halo 3 since Christmas.
Halo 1 story: Awesome
Halo 2 story: Fail
Halo 3 story: Epic Fail
I wish MS would just let the Halo die, how about Bungie remake Marathon?
Does everyone think that MS pays for good reviews/bad reviews. Ever think that there might be people who DON'T like MGS4?
Was just due to lazy development. I don't think Gears of War 1 looked like a ps2 game.
Learn how to spell
They're equal
Gears = 94 http://www.metacritic.com/g...
MGS4 = 94 http://www.metacritic.com/g...
MGS 4 WOULD be higher but there were several 80's that brought the score down.
How is a 91 average a flop? All PS3 exclusives besides MGS4 must be flops then. And MGS4 has only a 93 average (Those 11 80-89% reviews really hurt)
There's a 2009 360 lineup???
The same magazine that had a cover with Halo Wars in the issue where they had there MGS4 review. And when they had Gears 2 on the front page before it was even announced.
"and lets face it you XBox 360 fans didn't exist until Microsoft entered the console war. "
are you really that stupid?
But the dude in the 4th vid is horrible! He just lets his teammate get owned by the hunter.
I hope they show some Boss videos soon. I want to see what it's like to attack the survivors.
So you're telling me MS would pay a newspaper to give it a bad review over paying a big site like IGN/Gamespot?
Why is Dream On tier 5??? I've seen Walk This Way and it's a lot harder than that.
Mass Effect hasn't been confirmed multi-plat yet. I wouldn't be surprised but remember that EA said they would let Bioware do what they want when they first bought it.
Itagaki could easily create his own studio and work with MS.
I also heard MS will be releasing a smaller chip to fix RROD problems later this year. I hope it's true.
Borderlands looks awesome. I heard the game has an insane amount of weapons/modifications.
