TreyTable commented on: 13 Worst gaming innovations of all time |
|
| One thing I really hate in games is poor writing when it comes to text. Found mostly where either the writer is doing a translation piece and he or she edits their own work, which ends up with some questionable language that doesn't make sense in any context, or even when the text is done in one's native language, except they use poor judgment or are trying to sound hip, which just turns out to be tragic. Some of the things that bother me the most is using a "z" to end a word that really ends with an "S", replacing the word "you" with the letter "u", the constant use of the made up word "alot" in place of "a lot", and/or "noone" instead of "no one." It's hard to take anybody seriously if their spelling and/or grammar looks like it was written by a retard. I see this everywhere in Internet forums, but when it creeps into games, it is totally unacceptable. |

TreyTable commented on: GR Asks: Why does the Xbox 360 run so loud? |
|
| The ODST name change was probably either: 1. Halo 3 Recon was a development name, never intended to be the name of the final game, or 2. Bungie and/or Microsoft didn't want to have people get the name confused with Ghost Recon. | |

TreyTable commented on: Beloved games we hate |
|
| Different people dislike different games. I get that. I'm probably the only person in my Zip Code who 1. hates Madden NFL, and 2. has already pre-ordered Virtua Tennis 2009. All of the editors have valid points, and that cool. Except for the guitar playing douche. Guitar Hero and Rock Band are about having fun. It's not the same as playing a real guitar, and we get that. Why do we play those dreadful games, when we could be playing a real guitar? Maybe because we lack the talent needed to do so. Not everybody is gifted enough to actually play a real musical instrument. Just like most people who play Forza probably can't race a real car, or of the people who play Call of Duty 4 may not be candidates to carry and use firearms too the full potential. The other articles are about popular games that some editors don't like. Mr. Keast has written not about the games, but how he hates the people actually like them. Hate the games, not the players. |

TreyTable commented on: How not to be a total jerk online in SFIV |
|
| I have SF4, and I'm sure I'd play it if I had a decent controller for it since Mad Catz obviously cannot count pre-orders. Just give me an adapter to let me use a control pad other than the current 360 offering. PS2, PS1, Saturn, Genesis 6, Super NES, GameCube (the Hori Pad for the Game Boy Player).. anything over the 360's D-Pad. Hell, I'd be able to play better with a Dreamcast pad or an XBOX Controller S. | |

TreyTable commented on: The greatest game on every platform |
|
| WTF? Ys Books I&II is (1)two games and (2) not a Turbo Duo game, but a regular Turbo CD game. I also found it strange that the C64, three eras of the PC, and the Apple II get some spotlight, but the Atari 400/800/1200 don't count because they're computers? Also, what about the Atari 7800? As for my choices, I'll just go over some of the more important ones to me: NES 1. Life Force 2. The Legend of Zelda SNES 1. Chrono Trigger 2. Yoshi's Island DS 1. Metroid Prime Pinball 2. Mario Kart DS N64 1. Zelda: OoT 2. Perfect Dark GCN 1. Resident Evil 4 2. Soul Calibur II PS2 1. Yakuza 2 2. Onimusha 3: Demon Siege PS1 1. Need For Speed III 2. Xenogears PSP 1. Burnout Dominator 2. Loco Roco 2. PS3 1. Full Auto 2 2. Genji 2 XBOX 1. Burnout 3 2. Midtown Madness 3 360 1. Burnout Paradise 2. GTA4 Genesis 1. Sonic 2 2. Virtua Racing Saturn 1. Panzer Dragoon Saga 2. Daytona USA DC 1. Crazy Taxi 2. Jet Grind Radio 2600 1. Pitfall 2 2. Adventure Neo-Geo 1. Garou: Mark of the Wolves 2. Last Blade 2 32-X 1. Space Harrier 2. Star Wars Arcade |

TreyTable commented on: Kids review the darndest games! |
|
| Poor lava_lamp says "5 days 17 hours ago shows that little kids cant review games unreal III sucks" Actually a review is an opinion sprinkled is some facts. So no matter how you personally feel about UT3, it really doesn't make the kids' review any less valid. |

TreyTable commented on: The 10 most pointless videogame subtitles ever |
|
| So Tyler, "Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht" is stupid because you are? You didn't get a good education, so therefore things that you do not understand must be stupid? You don't know German, neither do I. But you don't know Nietzsche? As for the Japanese release of Xenosaga Episode I, they didn't have it in German because their alphabets are radically different from that of German and English. So why German, right? That's just too easy. Namco probably didn't want to dumb it down, thinking that English speaking audiences would be in an uproar that Namco was ripping off Nietzsche. | |

| You should have tried Saints Row 1 and/or 2. There's a lot of customization there.. or maybe Forza 2... | |

|
| I have to say that ODST sounds good as well. Better than F.E.A.R., I think, but I do think that the title should just drop off the number 3. Halo: ODST sounds better than Halo 3: ODST. | |

TreyTable commented on: Cool concept art vs. crushing reality |
|
| Great read, although it seems to be a bit of a disservice when comparing the art of a PSP or DS game to concept art since we all know what those systems are really capable of doing. Oh, and is there anything on the reverse spectrum, where the in-game graphics blow the doors off the concept art? | |

TreyTable commented on: The rise, fall and deafening crash of Sonic the Hedgehog |
|
| At first I was appalled by the idea of Sonic Unleashed. But it's actually a decent game. It's not a genre bender, but it's got Sonic type difficulty, which is good after Sonic Heroes. It reminds me most of Sonic Adventure (the second version, the version that launched on the day of the American Dreamcast launch, 9/9/99) except Sonic is the star. The only other character I played as was Tails' airplane. It wasn't as good as chasing the Egg Carrier in Sonic Adventure, but still fun. Oh, and the camera can be a problem sometimes, but so far it feels as good as Mario 64. They're getting there. I have to wonder if anybody bothered to play all the way through Sonic Adventure 2, because Shadow is not the ultimate life form. That was a mistake on Eggman's poor research. The final boss which is taken out by Sonic and Shadow, that was the 'ultimate life form.' Do your damn homework. |
