i think on the Average, most games are that appealing story- wise. and Jaffe knows this. I'm sure that he will admit that some games have better stories then others. But, presently, The majority of games are sports and FPS, multi-players games.
I personally think Assassins Creed, Bioshock, and Prince of Persia are great stories, as is Uncharted. But, those are obviously not multi-player games. The very nature of the beast, that the players controls,the main characters througout the world, against a certain backdrop limits to what stories can be told, and how successfully. Bioshock controlled that very well, as did Prince of Persia.
Everyone talks about not dying in games. Honestly, you don't die in any game. You just restart from a previous location. Bioshock and POP, just shorten the reload time, and dressed it up. I am surprised at the hate they get because of this . . . View

you have SIXAXIS on here as something you like. like your proud of it.
the fact that you have it on your list of cool things the PS3 does.
like THEMES. makes the whole list suspect. and crap.
and correct me if i am wrong, but i am almost positive that the ps3 has not been out for 10 yrs.
so basically the ps3 is better because it has cool free themes. ( just what i always wanted in a videogame system). The SIXAXIS ( HAHAHA. your an idiot) and the propaganda of the sony has you thinking it has a t ten year life cycle? ( well pal, i my 360 has lasted longer than my ps3. so once again. your an idiot.)

so basically you think the ps3 is a better video game console, because it is currently the best blu-ray player on the market, that happens to play games. SWEET! idiot.

you catching the general idea here? View

whatever! I WANT a new BATTLETOADS. that game rocked back in the day.
i though they were already working on KI. wasn't it called Killer Instict : 3D? or was that a hoax? View

im bored at work so im gonna contribute

If I'm not watching bluray on my ps3, it does a good job of collecting dust. while i play fallout3(you know the un-glitchy version) fable 2 and gears of War on my 360.
my 360 that i had since launch, so you can forget about that 100% failure rate. mine is still working tiptop. unlike my ps3 which wants to keep changing my settings so i cant hear anything through my Surround sound. View

Sorry, I didn't think it was you, but i wasnt able to edit the 1st post, so i had to reply under you. View

okay how do i get a disagree on a question?

you dumbfucc fanboy. View

if a game is scratched and console cant load a saved game. if we copy the game to the Hardrive, will it work or not?
I cant play Assassins Creed, cause it says its scratched?? View

every company copies every company out there. its not stealing or ripping off, its called business.

Geez, if the net was around during the NES, people would complain that the genesis and master system and everything else, ripped off the D-pad control from Nintendo.

you guys argue over the stupid things View

im not big on Hack/slash games, for sure this doesnt compare to Diablo. But I still enjoyed it. I played for about 20 minutes, but then had to go to work. I the premise is interesting the story and execution. The graphics might not be the best, but seriously games dont have to have the best graphics to be enjoyable. Once you get past the controls that nobody is use to, it becomes second nature. the guns, the attacks are all easy and fluid. But, that only enhnaces the repetition. Which I think is the biggest downfall. Hopefully the final product has more variety but I highly doubt it. Still its better than HAZE and LAIR. Still just an average game, maybe not worth 60 bucks. but definalty rent it or pick it up used... View

funny first thing that is mentioned is porn

first thing that i think about is the fabled. STAR WARS Saga in 3d. or even LORD OF THE RINGS

PORN IN 3d? thats just a little to realistic. do you really wanna see razor burn, and traces of STD's in 3d? might as well go to a club or maybe even get a date... View

Gears of War, is hardly a masterpiece, in my opinion. :-)
To me, outside of Bioware: Mass Effect, KOTR, no company that isnot in the East, provides compelling stories. Something Japan developers heavily focus on, even if doesnt make sense. Here i think Story, take a backseat to graphics and technology.
but that is just my opinion, i might be wrong View

It appears to me that the advent of the internet has led to the decline of the Professional Journalist and Reviewers. While in past ages. We, the consumer, can rely on a review of any product. Reviewers, then, seemed to have a certain standard which to review any product. Based upon quality, Enjoyment, Depth, and the competition. what has come before and what is expected.
With the internet, as many people have said in the beginning, this is quickly crumbling. More and more reviews are opinions. Yes they have always been opinions, but opinions based upon a standard, not solely on what just one person rights. This is the reason for the wide variety in reviews, as well as constant 10s/5s/100%.
When was the last time in a 12 month period has so many games been awarded this review.
This 7/10 for haze is mind-bogging. The reviewer rips it up, then goes and gives it a 7/10 worth the rush. the best thing going for it from what I can tell is that it runs at 30fps and the multi-player. In this day and age a FPS must have a great story or Great multi-player, if not both to suceed. HALOs CODs or Bioshock.
Everything else this game is adequate. the graphics are decent. the storyline and dialogue are laughable moments.
Perhaps the reviewer loves FPS, I do not. I can name a few I like. Bioshock, GoldenEye, Halo, FEAR, COD4. But that, therein lies the problem, personal preference is taking the front seat too much, objective reviews are being put on the back burner.

Based on this review I would give it 6. not Terrible just almost average. But then there comes in personal prefence and make it a 7.

It all reminds me of an EMINEM song, rapping against source. 5 mics you were a classic, Nas biggie. now anything less than 3.5 your a POS. With so much "5 Mics" in the videogame world, is it the Games that are great, or the reviewers and politics behind the reviewing system that is flawed...? View

yeah, i think ATARI should come out with the JAGUAR 2. like back in the day with 5 consoles! View

ooooh. hopefully this is trure, I have yet to beat number 2 and buy number 3. so if this is true, i just wait. and play the entire trilogy over again.... sweet! View

hopefully this means that soon the last two games in the trilogy will be backward compatible... argh!

would be really nice if it used the Assassins Creed engine, a modified and enhanced fighting enginge. View

Sierra SUCKS! Carcasonna is cool, but dammit this list is worthless...
no space quest for xbla nor any kings quest for xbla. this list is pure rubbish. View

so this seems just another way to take money, and spread the fear...
vultures I say.

i mean honestly, does a parent want to spend all that time entering porn sites they dont want their children going to?

do they realise how many porn sites there are?? the parents will spend like a month or two just entering all the sites in there. before it can even be used. by that time thier precious little children will be in HS getting busy with other students.

WORD UP, like CAMEO SAYS! View

the only possible thing i can think of is not an immediate sequal. at least a good number of years from the ME1. which is probably gonna be what the novels fill in.

I thought i read somewhere that you character would keep the stats.... which is easy enough to implement. but what about the choices... living/dying... give enough game/world time between games and adventures... the writers can do whatever they want... View

seriously, 17 month old daughter... is 20 yrs. worth it. I mean i know it says 20+ years. but it should be saying 40+ years. at least. View

i was impressed with PREY. an fps with a unique story that doesnt have to do with wwII.
i mean its no bioshock, but for 20 bucks, its worth it.
and now that there is a sequal and after what we saw with PORTAL, im excited to see PREY2 View
