I disagree with the controls being horrible. I'll admit, I was frustrated by the controls throughout most of the campaign, but I finally started to adjust once I started playing skirmish and warzone. I don't think I was forced to truly adapt until I was unable to use cover as a crutch. After I was actually forced to use movement and aiming I felt more comfortable(rather than line up while behind cover, pop and shoot). I'm not denying that some people are experiencing annoying "lag"....
Unlike a lot of the people on this site; I own both consoles and enjoy them equally. I've played both games, and I like them both.
In the end, I think that KZ2 is a better game. Weapons? KZ2(cov weapons in H3 only served to anger me). MP Maps? KZ2(wow). MP matchmaking? KZ2(love the dynamic gametypes and map selection) Story? Tie. (not really excited about either). Overall Single player experience? KZ2( visuals, sound, intensity, scale... pick a category(except story)...KZ2 does i...
what just happened here?
I see you're point about nothing NEW to compare it too, but I think that IS EXACTLY the point.
Microsoft is not investing heavily (think Sony spending millions on GG for them to develop and share a NEW engine)and that is exactly what the argument is. Sony IS spending millions of dollars to develop new engines i.e. taking the lead on visual superiority, while microsoft appears to be sitting on their heels milking the crap out of the unreal 3 engine i.e. giving up on superiority. ...
Haha, I should have known this was going to stir up some old debates.
Thanks for bringing up the detailed explanation. I have read about the memory architecture of the PS3 several times, and I alluded to it's utilization in my initial post. I had begun to believe that the debate was over, and I was simply making a joke about the "doubters" in the early part of the PS3's life. Seems some of them are still as ignorant as they were back then.
"bu bu but ...
Fake, the PS3 only has 256mb of video ram... ahhahahahhahaha...
Guys, seriously, I'm joking.
@Aquanox................. where to start. Even if that were true (which it's not.... easier to do on another console?, maybe?) you can continue to be a bvtt hurt little boy. Meanwhile, I'll continue happily with my gaming PC(which owns all for textures, yes even Mac pros), 360, and my PS3, and I'll pity you and others like you because I get to enjoy all of the good games...
I don't have to choose to buy full games anymore! /rolls eyes
I think you missed something. Killzone 2 has a rather robust multiplayer experience... Though I am not surprised by your type's propensity for zero reading comprehension. Also, I'm sure you weren't saying the same about no online when Bioshock was exclusively on the xbox 360.... Play games, not consoles.
Aquanox try watching the video on a computer other than the pile of crap you have now. I see no framerate issues on my desktop, but my laptop is a different story. If I'm on the laptop selecting HD is like selecting Play slideshow.
I looked at your previous post history to see what your motives are. Why do you care so much about the xbox selling better than the PS, etc? What gain do you receive personally? Now add in your comments about KZ2 and "framerate issues" that...
Everyone knows the old adage....
I should clear this up, (READ) I like Mac OS X, don't crucify me on that point. I don't like that Apple dictates the hardware that I use by only allowing it to run on their systems. Therefore, I am even more peeved when they think they need to charge an arm and a leg for it. Secondly, I do not deny that Dell, HP, Gateway etc will ask for outrageous prices on their top of the line equipment. Guess what though? I'm not forced to buy their expensiv...
I do agree with you though, the aluminum cases of their notebooks are very nice! Unfortunately that nice shiny case does not justify their outrageous price.
I look at it this way, I can buy three $600 laptops(for about the same price as a Macbook pro) spaced over a period of 3 years and have hardware that is only slightly below that which is on the apple during year 1. After year 1, while the apple user has the same hardware for year 2, I actually get the next generation hardwa...
I can get the hardware that I want with Mac OS X, I might consider a Mac. As it stands right now, not a single mac can touch my 6 month old desktop hardware wise. If only they would let me put Mac OS X on my custom build...
I for one hate Apple for not allowing their OS to run on other systems. Screw them if they think they need to make money by gouging me on hardware for the privilege to run their operating system. Actually I wouldn't even mind shelling out $500 for the operating sys...
I just wanted to point out the fact that your statement, "CoD 4 is without question the better game of the 2," is simply in YOUR opinion or this board would not be going in the direction it is. I would venture to guess that some people would indeed QUESTION whether COD4 was better than COD:WAW. Obviously, I am questioning you, so what makes it unquestionably better?
I really liked COD4, and I enjoy COD:WAW. I have never played 1-3, so I'm not tired of WWII or whatever...
I find it kind of funny that EVERY post you make in regards to PS3 is an attempt to bash the PS3. My question for you is, what does bashing the PS3 net for you? Does it really matter if you state your obvious bias on a PS3 article? No, in fact I just think you are an idiot trying to compensate for something you lack in your everyday life. I'm sorry you have to supplement your lame life by bashing on the PS3.... I hope your e-penis gets you laid because it's obvious your real one doesn't. <...
I also stand by my comment. Even if I was as ugly as him, does it matter? Is it unacceptable for another ugly person to call someone else out for their faults? It's like making fun of somebody for being old when you are the same age as them.... It's a relevant observation. This kind of criticism happens all the time. Sure, you could argue that it's hypocritical, but is it? Calling someone ugly, when that is your opinion, is simply stating your opinion, nothing more/nothing less.
This guy doesn't even know what he is trying to say. "The game is beautiful, it has lots of options, many different gameplay mechanics and weapons, and it's fun. However, it's easy and there are about 5 weapons(only 5!? isn't that more than the average shooter?) you will constantly use because they are effective. Also, sometimes it seems like there are too many gameplay mechanics. So I'm going to give it a 75."
Granted I don't know what this guys previous reviews are ...
For anyone who has actually taken a statistics class and understands it, averages are ONLY useful in a normal distribution. To clear it up now, reviews are not in a normal distribution. Furthermore, averages are not resitant to outliers which makes them less useful in a subjective sample such as this. The correct statistic to look at if you want to get a better idea of how a game is doing across the board is to look at the MEDIAN score. Which for the scores listed in the posting is a 91. The ...
Well, I have heard about lots of RROD and experienced it myself. The funny part was that I only had about 50 hours of play on Oblivion (total for the system) when it died. I bought the system in March 07.
So my point is, good for your GROL, but I still feel like the RROD is a major problem. Why else would ms extend the warranty to 3 yrs for the problem? Obviously it was widespread, and they realized they had to do something before they had an even worse PR disaster on their ha...
I just wanted to point out your blatant fanboyism.
You said, "oh, and current library > future one
more people look at what games a console has not what games it will get."
Clearly you are touting the 360's superior current library. However, I am disagreeing with your reasoning. If this were entirely true, no one would buy a next gen console (PS2s for everyone). Also, many people bought the 360 in anticipation of games such as Halo 3, Fable 2...
I'm not sure why I'm even bothering to reply to you because I'm not sure you have the ability to read it.... Anyway, by your logic, Wii Sports, Wii play, and nintendogs(!!!) are better games than Halo 3 this gen. Umm... okay buddy, I hope your pooch doesn't die. If sales indicates quality I'm scared who is judging the quality of these games. Btw, I realize bundles have increased some of the wii sports sales, but Fads and pop culture increase sales to crazy levels. Some of my favorite games do...
