i forgot about the virtual console, i will give you that, very cool being able to play the old games. i can't tell you how much fun i have had playing uno on the xbox arcade. the arcade is a fun bonus but i wouldn't buy a system for it, same for the wii. virtual console is cool but is it worth buying a system for, no.
i agree though, sonic is the same way. just haven't enjoyed a sonic game since it went 3d. the 2d games rock
i am not hating i am just saying in the t...
1. yeah you can probably beat me in basketball, i play it but i am not great
2. you have no chance
3. never played tennis but in college i played racquetball and i still do, you would get owned there
4. you don't move around much in pool, i own my own pool table do you? one thing you learn about pool really quickly is there is always someone better than you
5. i haven't played baseball in a couple of years but i wasn't half bad when i did
how about g...
actually your sarcasm is pretty close to correct. change isn't bad change is good only when the change is going forward not backward. simply regurgitating a game cube and adding a remote isn't simply moving forward. as you describe i fall more into the hardcore gamer catagory and play everything that interests me. kiddie games don't interest me, those are for kiddies (super monkey ball, come on). i have played enough mario in my time and if i have a choice of an action adventure game like ass...
you also have to add in all the xbox live arcade games. i don't know how many of those there are so it is 292+x
what are some of the wii launch titles that are so great? the sport game might be fun one night with friends while drunk but other than that come on. i don't see how waving your arm around in the air for 4 hours is going to last. just like the game cube it is a kiddie system, they might have fun with it but i bet they lose the remote in 2 days. i see the wii as a generation behind. weak power, bad graphics, re-hashed mario/zelda games and the only game that could possibly be fun that i have s...
not to mention mgs 4 will more than likely walk right into halo 3 so even if it is great, it will be over shadowed by the GOW/halo 3 combo.
how can you say GOW is going to have competition from mgs 4 when we haven't seen any in game video from that game. all i have see is the E3 demo of cut scenes. i have seen MANY videos of actualy game play from GOW.
on a side note anyone want to get together and see if a truck driver would like to make a few extra bucks to let us get a copy or two from the truck on the 7th :-)
i agree it is maturity of the mind but i think these two do compare. if a 16yr old can't handle a zombie video game i don't want them behind the wheel of a car!
drinking is totally different because it changes your decision making and i completely agree i went through the same thing, although i had older friends who got me booze i didn't understand why i had to wait until i was 21. after 21 it made alot more sense.
i agree with you there completely. read my post #9. that is why i like the distinction of levels such as adult things and adult toys (such as certain video games). when i am doing something adult (such as playing GOW) it is time for them to go somewhere else and play with their toys. Age has everything to do with it. i don't believe a 8-10yr old should see this game, if they are 14 i don't think they should play it but if they see me playing it isn't the end of the world. i believe when the a...
does anyone else think it is stupid that adult games are 18yrs old and up? i think it should be 16. you are telling a kid, here are the car keys have fun driving a 2 ton bullet down the road with other maniacs BUT, you are going to hell if you play a video game that kills zombies. you have wait until you are 18 for that.
“if it is bad for me; why do you play it?”
actually i would hope that question is asked one day. it will help the kid down the path of making his own decisions and not simply doing something because someone else told him to, i play it because i choose to.
Yes kids often times want to do what you are doing but i also draw the line of "i am doing adult things"(as in i am not dead yet and still have some things i want to do in my life including cutting people in half and ...
it also has to do with age of the child we are talking about, can a 13 or 14 old see someone playing this game,,, yeah probably, i don't think i would let them play it but if they snuck a peek i think they can understand it is a video game. a 7 or 8 yr old even if they know zombies aren't real i think might be a little much for them.
i have a step kid, and he knows if i tell him he can't watch something then doesn't and if he does he gets grounded. anyway if the kid comes down stairs it isn't hard to pause the game because i can hear him coming down the stairs. my house isn't designed in a way that he can peer around a corner and watch so keeping him away isn't as hard as it might be in other places.
Same thing with saints row, guess the kid will have to stay in his room when i am playing. they probably should have an option in these games to turn it off but honestly i wouldn't want to, that is half the fun.
you are absolutly right it was silpheed (which looked much better than starfox but it got all the raves), sonic cd was pretty good also. ahh the good old days.
if i remember there was an awsome game (only good game) on the sega CD called sylpheed. for the time the graphics were awsome.
yeah i wrote that in a hurry, i can't even read it, lol
"maybe they realize a demo isn't needed because people will buy this game anyway. the only reason people want the demo is to play the game before it comes out (to get used to the controls and gameplay)."
there has been plenty of in-game and actual game play footage so we have a good idea of how great this game is going to be. I am pre-ordering mine after work today. ever since blazing angels i said i was g...
maybe the realize demo or no that people will buy the game and the only reason we want the demo is play the game before it comes out (get used to the controls and such).
exactly, every thread turns into flame war with the fanboys on both sides. the only interesting thing about it is how many articles there are (not just this site) with valid points about sony. i think most people will make their decision when they can go to best buy and actually play a game, not watch cgi videos on the web. the ps3 trailers that just have cgi video are getting lame, i haven't played gears of war but at least i have seen video of someone actually playing the game, that gets me...
i am picking that game up at lunch on the 22nd for the 360. i am hoping there won't be as many glitches as last year's
