crysis 3 beta sucked its generic and boring, dead space is not dead space anymore, this is just my opinion but i think the mgr demo sucked too but i will defenitly be getting aliens cm on day one

SoundGamer4094d ago

Crysis' MP was never that great in my opinion. Still, I enjoy the singe player campaign. I'll play that and wont touch the MP.

As for Dead Space 3, I haven't played it yet, but I'm hearing a lot of good stuff from die hard fans of the series.

Well sorry to bust your bubble, but you had better lower your expectations for Aliens: Colonial Marines. At least as a sp game it's very average.

I thought I got lucky and bought the game last friday from a shop who clearly had no idea about it's release date, and I have played through the campaign on normal once. And I got bored about halfway through.

The game is buggy and boring unfortunately, and the graphics are not too good either.

Ai for both companions and enemies are bad, and there is no tension at all. It just kills the atmosphere when you have your companion and an Alien having a boxing match until you help out.

The implementation of the motion tracking sensor isn't very good either. The screen is so small and the levels so dark, so when you finally got yourself orientated the Aliens are on top of you anyway. Just get used to using the shotgun and upgrade all your rifles with one too.

I think the reviews of Aliens: Colonial Marines will probably be about 6-7 on average...

Qrphe4094d ago

That's ok because Crysis isn't a game, Crysis is a benchmark.

konnerbllb4094d ago

I'll be picking up DS3 soon.

FlyingFoxy4094d ago

Well for sure i am interested in Aliens: Colonial marines.. my main worry is what it plays like, can it be as fun as Left 4 Dead? i'd like to try it but i'm not sure i want to risk just wasting my money and having the game sit in my steam list staying unplayed.

andron4094d ago

You should wait for reviews, see my post over when it comes to ALiens...

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa134d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno134d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast133d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial133d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Metal Gear Solid Can Work Without Hideo Kojima

There are more good non-Kojima Metal Gear games than one would realize. Scientifically, three examples prove a trend, and in this feature are three excellent Metal Gear games that Hideo Kojima did not direct.

I hope so, still cant forget MGS Survive , the first MGS game without Kojima involvement and it was a complete failure, the thing is Kojima way of thinking is outside the box and that's why their games 99% end up unique, original and a almost instant classic. MGS series are full of intricate things that somehows connects to each other, Lalulilelo, the Patriots, Outher heaven, Foxhound, PMCs , heck even Kojima manage to insert DARPA in there lol, a US government Defense Agency. So is really great MGS3 Remake is reviving the series but without Kojima who knows of the end result, I hope Konami have another or more developers insight their studios who can also think outside the box.

senorfartcushion323d ago

It actually can’t. But it won’t matter.

Kojima is Metal Gear the same way that Christopher Nolan is The Dark Knight, or David Lynch is Twin Peaks: The Return episode 8. Artistry is the creation of a thing from your own thoughts and feelings. Take away the original artist’s thoughts and feelings and you have a new thing entirely.

This isn’t going to stop the mega corporation creating a fake version and spending millions TELLING customers that it’s made with the same thoughts and feelings. The masses will buy the idea the same way the corporation will sell the idea.

just_looken323d ago

I guess everyone forgot metal gear solid rising was tossed to platnium games with a story script and that is it.

Z501322d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken322d ago

kpjima just did the story everything else was platnium games look it up.

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992323d ago

i think the bigger issue is whether or not Konami is actually interested in fully funding AAA games development. Even this remake is done by a studio not really known in gaming industry. Quality remake/projets vs cheap cash in quick releases. Which way will Konami head. I am a huge MGS fan and i feel like Kojima did long time MGS fans dirty with how made MGS5 and it's story elements

senorfartcushion322d ago

Remakes and remasters provide a gateway through to producing AAA games faster and cheaper.

RaveTears323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

Actually MGS Portable Ops which was technically the first canon MGS game that Kojima wasn’t mainly involved with it. Kojima was only the producer but not the writer and director.

Konami did other MGS spin off that were successful but that because Konami put effort. Just along Konami is not lazy and cash grab, they can a MGS game without Kojima.

i mean sure, but he made it the thing it is today and why people love it so much.

i think its not easy to replicate.

Flawlessmic323d ago

I doubt it could.

Say what you want about the bloke, but his games are uniquely his.

I don't think anyone makes games like kojima does, for better or worse.

Could mgs continue without him, yea maybe, but it would lacking his genius so wouldn't be the same.

Soulsborne323d ago

Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.

Terry_B323d ago

Yes. It only needs motivated clever people.
