oh my...
one one hand, this is something to be excited about.
on the other... i think dj music is crap. the idea of 50 cent and eminem taking over the territory of guns n' roses and metallica nearly makes me break down in tears.
The first game I ever pre-ordered wasn't actually a game. It was the wii. I remember nearly hanging myself because i couldn't have the damn thing on the launch date, so about a month later i finally reserved it. i waited outside of a parking lot for a night, awake out of anxiety, because i couldn't freaking wait to get that damn thing. I finally got it, went home, and whored twilight princess for about a month in all of my pale, cheez-puffy goodness.
I think my wii is sitting in my closet with all of my elementary school clothes as I type this right now. Damn casual gamers.
God i can't wait for this game. I've had it reserved since January. And RandyChimp, I know it was directed at the GR team, but No it will not. Thank God.
Hm. Honestly I think this game isn't that great.
Yes i know that's flame bait, but i really do. i think the level editor is clunky and difficult to work, and the platforming is more basic than it needs to be. Granted, I can very well see why so many people like it but i personally don't.
A very fair review. I don't have the Xbox arcade version, only the one for gamecube, but I think it's pretty similar. I might've given it a 7 on the gamecube but the HD makes up for it.
Great article! I'm a little surprised some Metallica didn't come up in this though. You should make another article like this. Try Halo 3 and "For Whom the Bell Tolls".
I just figured the few PC titles weren't worth mentioning since they're already dirt cheap, and were pretty much ignored by retailers across the board.
Plus, I was trying to weigh the overall value all of the discounts:
-$30 Console game > -$5 PC game
@KillDrone That's why the contest is only asking you to reflect on the good times you had with the series.
Hell, send a screenshot of your favorite level, if you like.
@Hunter2458 It is compatible with the game of "Life" There's even a warning sticker asking you to "Please skate within your abilities on the other side
I wish I could be cooler about this, but yes, I'm pants-shittingly excited about this game! And even though David mentioned it, I'd still like to submit this as my personal 12th reason:
@John-117 That's fair. Sorry if I gave the impression that I don't find Gran Turismo to be a grand technical feat, cause I really, really do. It's just one that's been repeated 5 times, and I'm starting get a little bored with it.
Admittedly, I was intentionally prodding Turismo fans, but competition like Forza will only produce better games from both sides in in the future, right? So there's really no reason to hate on either other than shits and gigs.
Besides, didn't the fanboys read the part where I said Turismo looked better?
I suppose I should clarify that I don't give a shit about licensed cars. Cosmetically, anyway. I like to race, and I'm starting to feel that Gran Turismo has been skating by on it's legacy and licenses for a while now (see scores for PSP version.) Thus I addressed the "gameplay" - weird, huh - of which I've always felt was carried out better by Forza.
How many cars do you use anyway? 99.9% of gamers haven't driven 99.99999% of the vehicles in the game. We could argue forever about which Lotus/Ferrari/Dodge Neon handles more authentically, but sooner or later, aren't we really just taking their word for it?
Turismo is notoriously unforgiving, and while its fans wear that as a badge of honor, I find it annoying. Forza 3 let's me tackle stuff at any difficulty I want, whenever I want. And you don't need a fanboy to tell you that the online community is better because any naysayer is probably a PS3 owner and well... you've taken that thing online, right?
