.ning.com ?
hhgs, flashy title as always

[FangBlade]

Im not really that into his show but why so much hate? this guy is just doing shows and reviews about something we all love - video games.
Give him some break.

[young juice]

actually, naughty dog could do a prequel.

i wanna know what happend after the incident with nate and eddy's sister.

[Saaking]

uncharted 3 a prequel?? No. A spin off with Francis Drake would be pretty cool though... but I doubt it'll happen.

[Darkstorn]

I highly doubt Heavy Rain can outgun MGS4 in the story department, but we'll have to see...

[DelbertGrady]

"this guy is just doing shows and reviews about something we all love - video games.
Give him some break."

Nope. What he's doing is he's trying to score cheap hits to his website by capitalizing on something we all love much more than him. He uses his imagination to manufacture lies & rumors in order to get ad money.

You could compare it to running a hiphop site posting nothing but headlines about 2pac being alive, Biggie being a better rapper than 2pac, Eazy-E spotted in Alaska, or whatever stupid attention grabbing stuff you can come up with. No hiphopers would respect a site like that so why should gamers accept something like HHG?

[sikbeta]

Francis Drake PWNING everyone with an AK-47 will be EPIC... wait a minute...

Unbelievable

[Persistantthug]

1. People claim to hate his headlines because they call them "divisive" and "flamebait". On that point, that has been true alot of the time. HHG has put out some flamebait titles in order to get hits to his site. Personally, it doesn't bother me one bit....I like tabloid enquirer stuff from time to time because it's entertaining.

2. The other reason so many people dislike HIPHOPGAMER, is because he's African American. This cannot be refuted because I've seen people come here and call him all sorts of "N" words. I have literally witnessed people like Zlatko wish death upon HHG and even make ridiculous comments comparing him to Bin Laden...literally.

To add insult to their misery, HHG is still doing well and doing better each passing weak.

That is why I root for him. He's the "underdog" guy that keeps doing well...better than most in fact.

[cereal_killa]

Persistantthug Don't play the race card that's just weak you act like he being charged with murder yes there have been a few poeple on here who has use racial slurs but those people dont represent anyone here but there own pathetic selves. HHG does nothing but create Flame bait trash 95% of the time and created to get hits, he's wrong on anything he says most of the time Patcher has a better record of getting things right than him and that not saying anything better.

[Persistantthug]

If You are trying to convince me that HHG being African American has no bearing on much of the negative outpouring against him, you are NOT living in reality.

Yes, he has put out flamebait, and he has taken alot of "punches", justifiably so.

But when I see people calling him MANY racial slurs and even call him a "Ni***r" straight out....yeah...you are either naive or lying to yourself....seriously.

[ico92]

Wow that was stupid even for HHGS.

[Death2494]

a prequel is believable. I'm also sure you would be able to play a Francis Drake to spice things up. You could play the events leading up to the ship crashing and it would make for and epic story in itself.

If you don't like him then don't click on his article. But yet and still you guys just keep coming back for more. Post a video you actually interviewing David Jaffe, Stephen Tortillo, Jack Tretton, or be mention in gaming magazines. Until then, stop trolling.

[cereal_killa]

Persistantthug

Dont get me wrong anyone who uses racial slurs is a pathetic slug but those idiots dont represent the other 95% of the people in here that think HHG is a joke and using the race card is an easy scape goat to hide from the real reason that people can stand this guy. I don't care if this guy is black, yellow or even green the only reason any of his crap gets posted on here is because of his own site workers approving his trash if it wasn't for them this flame bait garbage would barely reach the front page.

[DelbertGrady]

So, explain to me why N'Gai Croal gets so much respect from the gaming community then?

[Persistantthug]

I'm only commenting on what I've seen here.

HHG has been unfairly mistreated here....there's no question about that. I've seen it with my own eyes, and I know you've seen it too.

[Mr Tretton]

Soda Popinsky wins this thread.

[Pandamobile]

God damn it is it sunday already?

[El_Colombiano]

That's what I thought. I saw the title and thought damn it's Sunday already.

[JihadJoe]

Aint nuttin else to do!

[ShadyDevil]

as always hes bringing it.

[Action GO FIGURE]

Ugh... that time of the week again. :/

[fooltheman]

remember that flashlight thing of ARc?
Maybe it WAs Alan wake 0-0

(just joking)

[josh14399]

does he pull his headlines out his ass.

[silkrevolver]

Yes.

[LtSkittles]

I don't really like HHG, because he pulls predictions out of where the sun don't shine, but I think Uncharted(whatever they decide to call the next game.) will be on the PSP, because all major PS2/3 games, made by first party ips(LBP, Motorstorm, Jak, and Daxter),have been on the PSP, but I think it would either be a spin-off, or a prequel.

[young juice]

i doubt that, uncharted was made utilizing all the buttons on the dual shock 3. how can they make it without a r3,r2,l2, right anologe on the psp without making it feel really akward.

maybe if sony announces a psp2.

[sikbeta]

If we talk about "predictions" He could be even Worst, like Patcher....

[Graphics]

this mofo........... this mofo.....

Heavy Rain Exceeds MGS 4 In Story And Emotion - 10 out of 10

I stopped reading right there... so false I wouldn't even know where to begin. MGS, 20 years of proven history. Heavy Rain, not even out yet, so very brand new. Let's just see how it does aye?

[Batzi]

I am getting Heavy Rain and I know that the story is good but exceeding MGS4 is something hard to believe. In any case, I will get Heavy Rain and see for myself.

[Tony-A]

Yeah, there's no way in hell. 20 years of a complex and intertwined story involving war, crime, science and relationships..

Beaten out by a classic "whodunit" thriller/mystery?

I know the story is very impressive and the characters wreak of feeling and emotion, but none will take MGS4.

Still, the story of Heavy Rain is really compelling. I was never up and ready to get this, but the demo pushed me into it, and I'll be picking it up sometime.

[Batzi]

2 videos that should remind everyone what MGS4 is(one of the best videos on youtube):

1) http://www.youtube.com/watc...
2) http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[TheXgamerLive]

then i saw it was that wannabe hipcrapgamer and I almost threw up, seriously he's getting so old so tired it's time he stops this, i mean nobody really wants to see and especially hear him anymore, it was a funny joke for a bit but now he's all played out.

RIP HipHopGamer...please

[Death2494]

about hiphopgamer but to say RIP is a little extreme. You're the one clicking on his article. Why didn't you just pass it up? Even after the fact you knew it was hiphopgamer you still decided that you wanted to post a comment. If you don't like him so much then just skip the article.

OT: I disagree about the story, but i agree with him when it come to emotion. Heavy Rain makes you feel regret, doubt, and uncertainty. If leaves you asking "what if" every time you make a decision. Also the ripple effect it has on everyone involved with the story. It's a day one buy for me.

[Mustang300C2012]

What?

Did he cry or somthing while playing Heavy Rain? No Seriously?

[DarthTigra]

Where does he get this stuff from? (Honest Question)

[Lumbo]

Most times he simply makes them up as he goes, the more flamebait the better. He is the HipHop version of Bruceongsames, both have zero credibility, and both keep on posting their made up trash and have enough 'bonus' accounts to pass them through the approve process.

[belal]

and i disagree, while heavy rain is a awesome game ( for me 10/10) it is not better than mgs4 story wise. mgs4 story is uniqe!

ps. if you don't belive that i have finished the game, you are going to be shocked who the twin brother of a a certain person is, that twin brother is allso the origami killer.

this is no spoiler by the way :)

[Nitrowolf2]

i finished it to, OMG that part when they show that flahs back, that was so sad

[FF7numbaone]

err mgs4 has nothing mgs 3. 3's story was better.

[gamingisnotacrime]

all those epic travels we have only heard of, but we have not see anything about those epic adventures

[Rowsdower]

i'd wanna play as sully and have a entire level take place scaling, climbing, and fighting on the empire state building

[Mr Tretton]

I have been thinking for some time that eventually the franchise will focus on a younger Sully and then lead up to when he meets Drake.

[Cartesian3D]

why he talks like that? he burns so much calories with moving his hands while talking to people..

anyway he make news.. he doesnt report .. just ban his news from N4G plz.. even if some of his news will become true we cant accept 1 truth between many lies ..

[Mr Tretton]

"I dont want to be racist... but
why he talks like that?"

He's just a typical try-hard, that's why.

You're not being racist.

[mikemadden]

great show i cant wait for uncharted 3

[Nitrowolf2]

can someone tell me if this is a bad story?
everytime i try to play the video Mozzilla quites and says well, this is embaraaing start new session or restore.
wtf
that made me laugh also i think my browser is trying to tell me something

Edited: ya something is wrong with this site for me, Chrome,FF, and Explorer it freezes when i play the vid.

[unchartedgoty]

this is just too much for me in my opinion too much exclusives, and some really good multiplats like mass effect 2 splinter cell conviction final fantasy x111, prince of persia the forgotten sands battlefield bad company 2, i could only imagine uncharted 3, my wallets going to be busted.

[thebudgetgamer]

i only wish he was more responsible with the things he writes and says.

[Death2494]

When someone calls him out for it he either proves them wrong or makes and apology. He takes more responsibility than Kotaku, IGN, or Gamespot.
They all hide behind a rumor tab. Especially IGN who post flamebait articles.

"Mass Effect 2 is the best game period, get over it and move on"

Sorry IGN but you don't speak for me. ME2 is okay but it's not Uncharted 2.

[Rowsdower]

if you like Moss check out that actor in these other shows:

Darkplace
Man to Man with Dean Learner
and others:

http://www.imdb.com/title/t...

[XDF]

Like, Sony have a chance to have their Halo (referring to Call of Duty)

Like Insomniac is making a X360 game.

Just take his comment with a grain of salt.

[Meryl]

i don't mind if they use that idea as some kind of spin off game, but i really want to see nate again in uncharted 3

[chidori666]

1. Heavy Rain Exceeds MGS 4 In Story And Emotion - 10 out of 10 "

heavy rain is much more realistic then mgs4.. fact.

[ZBlacktt]

Clearly by this post. You have no idea about MGS...fact. I suggest you watch some cut scenes over the last 11 years games at least. ( MGS 1,2,3 and 4 ). It's based off real world theory.

[Death2494]

In MGS there aren't alot of people who could relate to Snake. But Ethan, on the other hand, every father in the world can relate to. I have a son so I can literally put myself in his shoes and replace the characters with people involved in my everyday life. What choices would i make if i were in his situation.

For a parent period, this game take emotion and knocks it out of the park.

You must understand this game's audience are for people like me. This isn't for some teens or kids who wouldn't understand what it means to have a child.

[ZBlacktt]

Totally, I'm a father as well. Been one for a LONG time. I think the OP should have never put this new game up against something that has proven to be the elite over the last decade. More so when both stories have little to nothing to do with each other. He could have simply said it's a truly emotional, touching game period. But hey, if I wanted flamed bait catching posts. Why not aim at the top.

[chidori666]

i already played all mgs games of era playstation.. and mgs is looks like "anime drama" ( not realistic) and heavy rain the characthers looks realistic and have personality of real people, not like anime cliche characthers and story.

but both games the story looks great.

[Dtoxz]

And play as Sir Francis Drake?! ND isn't that dumb. They would never move back in time. Unless it was a flashback....Lol I stopped reading there too.

[unchartedgoty]

your a guy right? well if you are just a question...how can you play a game with everyone wearing purple and yellow and red little suits shooting little gooey stuff from their little purple guns in their colorful little world with 12 year old kids... ON TOPIC. as i said before this game will be goty whenever it releases in my opinion, unless some other game comes out like shadow of the collosus 2 or something then they will battle. i cant wait.

[-Alpha]

Do you prefer Gears over littlebigplanet?

It's hilarious how you try to belittle Halo due it being "kiddy" yet you have no problem with getting in touch with your emotions in Heavy Rain and creating awesome levels in LBP. Hm, let's see, what's the difference... ohh right, one is on a 360 and the other two are on PS3, which must mean "kiddiness" doesn't matter all of a sudden with PS3 exclusives.

You are no different than the 12 year olds you bash.

[XDF]

"well if you are just a question...how can you play a game with everyone wearing purple and yellow and red little suits shooting little gooey stuff from their little purple guns in their colorful little world with 12 year old kids.."

Don't worry you will get your chance. When the Arc is release, the Glowing ball will turn into any color guns you wishes, even your favorite color PINK. LOL

[bobrea]

This guy is trash. He's annoying, inarticulate, and talks like a hood rat piece of trash. Anytime I see his name anywhere I rage so hard.

[Cajun Chicken]

Sorry, that headline would be a terrible game.

[Mr Tretton]

HHG is scum. Get him off this site.

[Death2494]

you gave him and interview at last year's e3? You're scum hiding behind a photo of a man who has power instead of becoming a man yourself.

[Mr Tretton]

riiiiiight

[Hands Up For Games]

No. Just no.

Remedy have stated there is no Natal support for Alan Wake.

Sorry HHG, you have this one wrong.

[ginsunuva]

Sir Francis Drake isn't Nate's grandfather.

[silkrevolver]

For the love of GOD! 99% of this show is headline and broken english coupled with bad production. The only thing I’ve ever seen on HHG that I believed to be true is when N’Gai was on. That’s it.

[washingmachine]

you cant tell me gamers and corporations really give this guy credit acting and talking like that. wot has america come to?

[Anon7349]

Not surprised. Kojima pretty much took 12hours of cutscenes and said LOLNANOMACHINES

I was truly expecting something good with MGS4, but it turned out it was just a looong cutscene with gameplay between scenes saying LOL IT WAS NANOMACHINES ALL ALONG... I didn't know N4G liked MGS4 so much.

Sure, I liked it... it had GREAT gameplay when there was gameplay and MGO was decent but the cutscenes and the story was a punch in the face to the fans of the series.

The Ending fight scene was too fooking awesome, the mech scene was just fking great... actually.. every gameplay scene was a mind blowing blast to either the nostalgia sensors inside of me or the excitement meter. The amount of fanservice, hidden stuff, easter eggs and content in the amaze to this day.

An amazing game, but story? It was a disappointment for me. It could've been a lot better. My biggest complaint is the WAY he told the story. It would've been better if he integrated more of the story through gameplay and other various means instead of cutscenes.

[ZBlacktt]

The story is so long and complex. Yet he had to fit it on just one Blu-ray. The mission of the game was the answer most of the questioned that were left out there over the last 11 years of the story. Even then, true MGS fans still had questions. The story could never really end as it is based off DNA genetic coding. Which can always come back over and over as DNA is taken, planted and a new birth begins. There will always be Patriot organization in this world. Either way, story = mind blown.

I'm in no means saying Heavy Rain will not be a great story line game. I expect it to be. But the word Legend does not come from the word debut.

[Anon7349]

Think it this way, Avatar the movie looks amazing and had ways of making you care about the characters and show sympathy and empathy to them in ways never seen before but the plot was rather "meh" and it's been done before in other movies.

MGS4 is like that, the character development is some of the best in any video game, it makes you feel emotions to the characters, looks amazing and an all around great game but the plot is rather "meh."

Nanomachines exist for no other reason than to solve loop holes from previous games, and move the plot forward. The game didn't need nanomachines. To say "Nanomachines did it" is just an insult to the fans.

The plot could've been better and the way they delivered the story could have been better, but otherwise... it's an amazing game that will always be remembered.

Heavy Rain on the other hand? I've never felt more emotion, more inner conflicts, more empathy, more sympathy, more regret, and more "what if" moments with every button press in my life. Heavy Rain may not have the best plot(s) but I don't think other games can compete with it. I've yet to see a movie that can compete with the experience of Heavy Rain either.

I don't care if every MGS fanboy(I was gonna type droids then I realized they're both PS3 exclusives) give me negative bubbles, I think it's time for them to realize MGS4's plot isn't the greatest thing ever and other games can surpass it, and when those games come by like Heavy Rain, you just have to let it go.

MGS is one of my favorite series, but Heavy Rain surpasses it with the amount of emotion you feel, at least for me.

[ZBlacktt]

Anon7349,

I'll just say, great opinion. You are entitled to it. Enjoy the new game Heavy Rain. We will as well.

MGS4, single handedly saved the PS3. Driving sales up 4003% at a time when the PS3 was still $699 and $599 respectively.

Hideo Kojima wins the Lifetime achievement award.

MGS4 is still the most looked at PS3 game to date as #1 all around epicness. Still the highest selling game on the console. The OP's comments are truly overrated and very opinioinated as well. With little to no facts supporting it based on this very very new game not even released yet. Which I think we both see a very large base of PS3 owner's passing over because it's either above their heads, or totally out of interest. No wow factor, very slow and boring. Not my opinion, but overrall based on all age groups that own the console.

[Anon7349]

I don't think you give the PS3 install base enough credit. Heavy Rain is getting great reviews and it's already selling great. I have my reasons for liking Heavy Rain and the MGS series (For different reasons, It's like comparing an amazing physiological thriller movie with a huge jaw dropping action anime. It's pretty much impossible)

Heavy Rain will be one of those games that sell well over time because most rhinos right now don't know how it is and are just going by speculations. It'll sell great, not as much as MGS4, Uncharted 2, GT5, Halo, COD or GOW3 but at least Heavy Rain deserve it's sales unlike some games. *Cough* CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE 2 *Cough*

Anyways, Bubbles for you for being a reasonable person.

[ZBlacktt]

Anon7349

Yeah,I would give the PS3 install base all the credit in the world. If the support matched the console sells figures. Even when the mighty UC2 came out. Look how it did and then came along. I think we all thought for sure the new king of the PS3 in total sells. I mean, heck the PS3 is half the cost of the MGS4 time frame. But this Heavy Rain, that will be a very select group on here. A mature group for sure that does not have a short attention span. It will be like a epic book which many don't have the patiance to sit and read. No wow factor of the more fictional type games. I hope to be wrong really. The PS3 puts out the very top rated games we all see to date. That user base just needs to support it more with some 30 million consoles sold, etc...... btw, great talks too. Nice to see good conversations.

[unchartedgoty]

no differant from the 12 year old kids i bash...does your opinion count to me? no. dont act like you know me responding to my posts.

[-EvoAnubis-]

I love it that random speculation passes for news. And the more bullshit it is, the better, so I think I'll give this a shot. Wait, one more rule...everything must end with a question mark.

Gears of War 3 to star Master Chief?

Splinter Cell to include Rorschach as a playable character?

Cortana to have Kratos's baby?

Metal Gear Solid 5 on the Atari Jaguar?

Jack Thompson makes a gaming console?

Okay, so how did I do? Are these items 'news?' Oh, HHG, sorry if I spoiled next weeks show.

[nutbear96]

Flashbacks would be amazing! You're Drake back on track trying to hunt down Sir Francis Drake body (like at the start of the first game) and as you go along the tracks it goes back in time and it shows Francis going there aswell but he was there because there is something BIG! I don't know what though but something but don't ruin it like the first one! If they pull the flashbacks off well like Among Thieves then it could be the first Metacritic game to get 100!!!!!!!

[PSEuphoria]

This gay is trash!! .............are you 5 years old or what!!
he just do what he love too do .....stop the hate!! and grow up

great show again HHG.......

[Tilian]

I'd be happy if he fixed his aspect ratio for once. Am I the only one who notices this?

[Half-Mafia]

if i remember right didnt nolan north alright say his doing the voice acting for uncharted 3 so if nathan drake has the same voice as Francis Drake, then it could happen but he wont because this is just something else he made up.

i listen to the War Zone and most of the time its his power hour it just sounds like his making it all up, like a few weeks ago he said he heard ninja geiden 3 is getting made which has more story to it. he said he didnt have any details but somehow he came up with detail. was just like he made it up in his head :s

[Mustang300C2012]

Every Power Hour on the Warzone is like that. Just like the majority of his "news" is somehow come Sunday he is revealing somthing NO ONE IN THE INDUSTRY HAS EVEN HEARD ABOUT.

[The_Zeitgeist]

I find it hilarious that after two year you guys are still on here complaining about HHG. WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rowsdower]

pointless
