Since more often than not, the SP experience suffers. That's why. I completely agree with the notion that I don't want MP for Mass Effect, so it adds nothing for me, but possibly hurts the SP.
Not a good thing imo.
The game just doesn't get enough credit for it (see most above messages). Sure, it had its issues, but the core gameplay was spot on. Orb collecting and ability progression is like no other game out there.
But, I have to say that I have lost respect for the developers for using the same city again. Sure it's gotten a few adjustments, but we've all seen the comparison shots and many areas have even got the exact same geometry with a visual downgrade to boot.
@mrv321: With regard to the gaming industry: MW2 is extremely succesful. And that's all that is relevant in the context of which the author meant it. Seriously, are you really that dumb?
@dalibor:
I am not arguing whether the game is good or not (I think MW2 is terrible and I loved COD4). But the game is a massive succes, both in terms of sales/revenue and online activity.
So yes, calling it "somewhat" succesful is very curious at t...
"With games selling in their millions, online multiplayer dominating the Xbox Live and PSN charts and YouTube videos of every known play-style available, the franchise is somewhat successful"
'Somewhat' succesful? You mean: 'extremely' succesful.
He's talking about Valve. Reading comprehension can be usefull at times, you know?!
He's replying to lelo2play and saying that Valve and Blizzard are the exceptions to the rule. ONE OF THEM (one of the two companies that are the exception to the rule), namely: VALVE ownes a store and STILL DEVELOPES GAMES FOR CONSOLES.
Is it really that hard to understand?
But in 'Chuck' I just can't take her serious in the fighting scenes. Her choreography, moves/stances are just completely unconvincing. They really need to work on that, it's just cringeworthy.
Not sure about it being more noob friendly (although I'd say it is), but the main issue I have with MW2, is that it seems to be designed to cater campers.
You get rewarded for camping, and not for playing offensive. When you play offensive in COD4, you don't get punished for it. In MW2, unfortunately, you do. that's my main problem.
And to clarify: camping does not equal 'tactics' and 'offensive' does not equal 'running around like an headless chicken'. People seem t...
COD4 still owns all.
There is no 'best' considering opinions etc etc, but I think ít's fair to say that Uncharted 2 destroyed Batman:AA in terms overal critical reception.
Untill you find out that racing good lines doesn't get you anywhere, and wallbashing is where it's at.
If they fix that, and punish the wallbashers, it'll be a real blast I'm sure!
I think it's time for MS to move on. It's time for an xbox720 or whatever they want to call it. All this talk about using Natal to extend it's life is bullsh*t, the 360 has done it's part, it's almost overstayed it's welcome, and now it's time for a completely new Xbox.
Preferably one that doesn't constantly breakdown and makes more noise than a bloody tractor. Also, screw Japan. Stop wasting your time on that market, it's pointless and is becoming a little embarassing.

You seem very passionate about fighting fanboyism in these articles. And although rightfully so, there's one thing I just can't help but notice:
You only seem to use this heroism towards 360 fanboys, if you were only half as passionate towards the ps3 fanboys as well, you'd come off a lot more credible.
I actually took the liberty to go back 3 pages of your comments on your profile (I know, how sad is that?!) and I can place every single comment under either of t...
Did I anywhere in my post say that no game looks better than Killzone 2? No, I did not. This is purely Halo Reach vs Killzone 2 (you do realise this article is about Killzone 2 vs Halo Reach, right?!).
Also, you make absolutely no sense whatsoever. You first say I should play more games, and then you go on about a game that hasn't been released yet.
You should definitely work on your trolling skills a bit more.
No.
Counting polygons doesn't make up which game looks better, it's the entire package that counts. That statement's just pure ignorance and even an insult to Killzone 2's visuals.
Having said that, Halo Reach's visuals have hardly impressed me and Killzone 2 does still look prettier. Not saying one is more impressive than the other in total, but in terms of pure eyecandy, Killzone 2 wins (from what I've seen so far).
And I loved it! It's just right up my alley. 96% on Metacritic is deserved imo.
But, every single point this article states is 100% valid. The title of the article is a bit ridiculously negative and overdone, but everything he says is true.
Still, the game is absolutely fantastic and a must buy.
Comparing what is basicly a point 'n click game on rails vs an action game in terms of visuals is hardly a fair comparison.
In terms of detail and realism, the characters in Heavy Rain definitely look superiour. Except for the creepy 'dead eyes' syndrom. Alan Wake looks great, but the animations are horrible imo.
Neither strikes me as a clear "winner" in terms of visuals. Like I said, it's not a fair comparison. Obviousy, looking at the smaller scale of...
How about some more sci-fi WRPG's?! Screw Japan, they don't want your games...focus on the western market that actually does! Have you not learned from Mass Effect? People love that game, despite it's many, many flaws!
/rant.
2009 was complete sh*t for the 360. No f*cking wonder.
2010 does look pretty good though.
Does look classy though, but most Sony products do. Unfortunatly, this one's also useless.
Looking awesome! I cannot wait! I loved Invisible War, never played the first though.
I know people like to hate on Invisible War (whether rightfully so or not), it just means there's a good chance I'm going to love this game regardless of which game it takes after the most! :D
Bring it on!
