Wow, two data points. Talk about "logic wins". Lets ignore the free passes Microsoft got this gen and the consistently lowest scores from edge on most ps3 exclusives and eurogamer on several ps3 exclusives. See 1up's reviews of gears 1. The treatment Sony received from the press this gen was second class compared to the treatment they gave to Microsoft.
If their reaction is insane, why do you talk about it so much? It's just as insane.
The average is 9.4 on metacritic, but it is true that the overwhelming majority of scores is 9 or above, tending towards the middle-high 90s. I do agree that reviewers have been slightly harsher with Sony this gen, maybe as payback for their arrogance last gen.
lol
Well, it certainly looks like a game for a console with a one-core 800Mhz processor and 80MB of RAM or so. And those three games you mentioned look like games made for a multi-core console with the same amount of RAM as today's smartphones. Regardless, they still look great and are fun.
LOL GOTY
I don't think anybody is paying attention. It says "Xbox Loop" too. I think that PU is, like someone said above, the Xbox Portable, but Xbox Loop is probably the successor to 360. 8 years after 360, makes sense, just like PS4 will probably release 8 years after PS3. Loop sounds like a name related to 360, and at the same time it aims to be "cute" like the Wii name.
They are setting themselves up for failure if they try to do "something better"; because by better, they mean "sales" of course. But for a game to sell, you have to innovate and have the brand name. Or do what COD4 did, which wasn't simply "beat" the competition marginally, but revolutionize the genre. And it's not like that was the plan of Infinity Ward anyway.
Show us another economic system that actually works, and then you can say that "capitalism is a plague"
Its been a while since I last signed in, but I saw so many stupid comments that I had to sign in. Whoever says capitalism sucks is ignorant at best. There is no other political and economic system that can actually make things *happen* and *work* other than capitalism.
If there is demand for a product at a particular price, and whoever is selling it is making a profit, then that product is being sold at what it's *worth*. Capitalism isn't about "selling seomthing...
It took more than 2 years (almost 2 and a half) for DR to be ported to Wii. Lmao at your spin on the "point drops" when both games ended up being equally mediocre, or worse in the case of the Wii game since you're only taking into account one review (and IGN is usually pretty conservative with reviews). There are more reviews already, check the N4G meta, it's not looking good. Also, don't LIE, fanboy: RRR got 67 on metacritic, not 58.
It's more likely that the RRR 360...
They do, badly.
Why not make it more pages to get more hits and/or revenue? Yeah I can't wait to see your favorite games, especially after knowing you didn't complain about inflated metascores before Killzone 2 came out.
I hate how fanboys are using N4G to make a name of their site and/or themselves, and leeching of N4G in order to pay their bills with their sh1tty armchair "expert" opinions instead of doing something productive.
"nyah nyah I'm not on meta nyah n...
Because it's retarded to compare Blu-ray movies to Xbox LIVE. You get nothing with LIVE really, but it's mandatory to play games online. You don't need Blu-ray movies to play games. Furthermore, the money you pay for Blu-ray movies actually gets you something. The money you pay for LIVE gets you what? Nothing, because you can play online for free with no lag on PS3 and PC. Hell, even LIVE is free on PC, and the games are cheaper on PC, and you can do a hell of a lot more things on PC (and PS3...
"Resident Evil 5 looks pretty sharp compared to many platform exclusives"
Wrong, RE5 looks better than most 360 exclusives including Halo 3 and on par with Gears, but I've seen better graphics on PS3 since fall of 2007 with Lair, Heavenly Sword and Uncharted. Last year I saw better graphics with MGS4 and now Killzone, God of War and Heavy rain look better even in harder to push hardware and/or pre-alpha stages (for GoW3 and Heavy Rain).
"the fact that so many people are still playing online after this long PROVES how great, fun and addictive the game is"
Or maybe because they don't know ANYTHING ELSE? That mind set is the same mind set that gets people to still using the game. "I play it because there are people I can play with", which is circular, since a lot of people play it for that. Another reason is that people don't like trying something new. Halo's candy colors are very inviting for...
"if your 360 dies, you can trade it in for a new one.
The whole rumor about MS counting returned consoles as sold is a stupid rumor that has been proven false. "
Lies. My first 360 got the RROD in a month. When I got the second one, the second day it RROD on me. LMAO @ Microsoft apologists and "western corporations" supporters.
That is one of the dumbest comments I have ever read. "Unethical"? Have you ever studied anything related to ethics? What do tits have to do with a lack of ethics? And even worse, you proceed by saying: "But.. The ends justify the means". LOL wow.
