Couple of gripes:
1. mass effect 2 best of show ? Really... did you guys not even see god of war 3, oh wait thats right you guys were glued to the MS side of the building.
2. Valve is quickly becoming afflicted by consoleitis, when a dev goes to the console, all products heareafter become less than they could be. L4D2 won't even get a glimpse from me.
3. Where is HL2:episode 3, hasnt it been like 2 years ? Its been 5 years since HL2 came out, we deserve the damn episode already.
All that said, good article and Alan Wake looks cool
love it, love how 360 announcement is #1 because theyre about 2 years late with that tech...and who would actually do this for full titles ? Its like 4-6gb minimum on an already too small hard drive.
because you have no other choice, you will either buy it or you won't. PC people will always get it for free because piracy > devs. I remember that achorage dlc for FO3 dropped and when I saw how many of them had been downloaded by the end of the day, it was close to 120k :D
this is an easy answer to the question: as little content as possible and as much as they can possibly charge before people start bitching too much a la horse armor. Seriously, you guys are all sheep following what they want you to do. Im still DLC free and have played all of the FO3 ones, all the oblivion ones, Ill find a way to get lost & the damned on PC too
they don't ruin them by a longshot but sometimes what they add is totally bogus. I mean WotLK really didn't do anything that we didn't see in BC. Blizzard IS getting lazy because they have too much money and know people will keep playing anyway. I think the game is about to hit a decline in numbers as they have announced their new MMO and basically admitted WoW has a limited shelf life now.
ive not finishe quite a few games in my 17 years of gaming but the one Im most ashamed of not finishing is probably kingdom hearts, after forcing myself through some of the last few levels I got to the last boss and quit, I just couldnt take it anymore and finally came to my senses realizing that the game really was not that fun but Im still embarassed I didnt finish it
I dont know about the rest of you but quick time events get on my nerves this gen, RE5 is one of the top abusers of this. I always feel like that stuff pulls me right out of the game and back to button mashing, force unleashed is another one. Boss fights end in some quicktime event that has me not watching how the boss dies but watching what buttons I need to be pressing. I didn't buy into the whole GH/ rock band fad for a reason. STOP DOING THIS DEVS
"Perhaps gamers were tired of the concept – but that hasn’t stopped them buying crappy mini-game collections on Wii, has it?"
Really ? Are you sure that its "gamers" and not moms buying E rated shovelware for themselves and their kids ? Because I don't see "gamers" bitching about the fact that theres not enough games for the wii to be satisfied.
Also is ace combat 6 ever coming out for ps3 ? Dunno why the hell they would only make it for the 360 and every last one of their games has been with PS 1/2.
Oh yea a couple games in this list that I played are straight up garbage and are not worth the rental--- Wanted, blood in the sand are two notable examples in this list
ha how did I know the score would be below an 8 for sure... and @grant, wtf are you doing on a game site if you're not into games and you're bitching about people in basements. Someone could prob say the same to you for even spending an hour a day playing games.
This game is sooo boring, all you do is run and cover, run and cover, slow mo bullet sequence, run and cover. Only the story is mildly interesting but don't waste your hard earned bucks for this people.
