Interesting that they say it "accumulated 2 years worth of dust in 8 months."

Are they expecting all PS3's that haven't been cleaned from the inside to clog up with dust and die in 2 years?

And since the graphics looks amazing, you have to fault the A.I. ;)

Anyway, the AI is explained best in post 5.7 by me I think....the AI bot is making a charge toward the party member thats hurting it most, and the player decides to run straight at him rather than hold back and focusing on shooting the charging AI to protect his team mate.

(MMO players call it "aggro".)

I think it was meant to fit the mood of the game, not be a flat-out pornography.

It's admirable that a dev would actually infuse a little passion into a story. Rather than focusing only on monetary greed of players who play evil, it adds the element of lust. Corrupted favors, yes?

Keep in mind they selected the choice "Generosity doesn't pay the bills" or something like that, so that brought on greed and lust. And it could have been flat out rejected. ...

Good, diverse gameplay, combined with an amazing dialogue system to get you into the story that goes different ways based on how you make your decisions.

Start the game a second time with a different mindset (evil,ruthless, greedy, impatient) vs. (the person who does good for all) and you'll have a wildly different game. Play once as a shooter with the soldier and once as an RPG with the adept. Or any mix you like.

The dialogue system mixed in, and learning how t...

Anyway, I think he was running toward the party member that was shooting from way back at the end of the hallway. Probably because they were dealing more damage than the support class adept, so the A.I. prioritized the heavy hitter over the weaker one. (Pistol vs. assualt rifle, or whatever it was.)

Looks like the A.I. was charging too, right as the player sprinted, so I'd say it was as poor a decision to move by a charging A.I. by the player as it was to charge on past by the ...

I can imagine a very long thread will be devoted to questions just for him, haha.

It's all up to you...you have to actively pursue a lesbian relationship or try to go after a one night stand...if you don't try to make it happen it won't.

And if you make a male character obviously this scenario isn't possible.

It's letting your morals or the video-game version of your morals do the decision making for you, and I think that's a huge step forward! Bioware has been easing up to this point for awhile, but I think it's cool to see all the ways it &q...

No matter how great it is, Ratchet and Clank is limited just because it is Ratchet and Clank...platformers are outmoded and out of style, so it's just got a bias against it from the beginning.

Also being a PS3 exclusive is unhealthy right now, so it has that against it. Not saying the PS3 is bad, it's just underperforming.

Eh, COD4 is too little too late. I'm not about to buy another shooter with Halo 3, and I'd buy Orange Box before COD4.

I think Bioshock, and more probably Mass Effect will have the originality of the group to get GOTY.

COD4 and Halo 3 are classic games done the best they've ever been done.

Bioshock and Mass Effect are new and original in gameplay, along with great looks. So it's a great matchup to say the least!

I do agree though th...

Though it isnt the most technologically advanced, nor is it the most revolutionary in terms of gameplay (except for the forge and the replay mode).

But it's very foolish to let that rule it out for those reasons. A game doesn't have the power to sell as many games as Halo 3 has and will for no reason.

It's not "cool or trendy" to hate a game just because it's popular, worth playing over and over, and you can't get it for your system. Halo 3 multiplayer ...

Must like it for the Wi-Fi cheaper than the iPhone or iPod touch, I guess.

Japan is a weird market, and I really don't think it matters like it used to.

When a good week for Japan is the PS3 and 360 selling around 17,000 consoles it puts it into light.

In the American market a console is considered doomed and laughed at currently if it sells less than 100k units.

California (if not Cali definitely the West Coast) itself probably s...

Well with all the junk that's been released lately on PS3 a decent game can look pretty amazing, whereas so many good to great games have been released on 360 that when something like Mass Effect comes along it isn't as relatively impressive as Uncharted for PS3. ;)

No offense to R&C of course, but the glory days of platformers started to go under the generation after the NES.

Get some good games on the PS3 to live up to the good ones on the 360 right now and...

The rumors are pretty unfounded, as the 360 is running stronger than ever...

Mass Effect is going to be a trilogy, and Fable 2 is a good example of another exclusive, along with Halo Wars, and whatever secret Halo project is being worked on right now. I'd do a little more research to see what in the future interests you, but as for me I've been very happy with Gears, Bioshock, Halo 3, Forza 2, PGR4, and quite a few other exclusives thus far, so there's nothing to suggest that'...

Um, that's awkward dude.

I guess we all show our feelings in different ways though?

And there's the advantage of single player focused gameplay! Don't have to meet this guy online. :-P

Haha, the G O F O L D thing is pretty funny, I have to say.

And you my good friend are entering the world of gamerspeak. It'd be healthier if you backed out while you still can!

Gave me chills! Looks like it's going to be incredible.

Definitely a first day purchase for me as well. You are all so quick to forget KoTOR. Can't wait to see what jaw dropping plot twists there will be to U N F O L D. And a fresh perpetuating storyline that extends across several games opens up a lot of great possibilites. I'm excited for this one. An original sci-fi IP hasn't had it this good for a long time!

Comparing a brand new IP to FFXXX or whatever it is...

I can't think of the last time I bought an EA Game either, so none of them have really caught my fancy for 360...

Let's see...since summer started it's been..

Forza 2
Bioshock
PGR4
Halo 3
(Mass Effect preordered)
Iffy on Assassin's Creed.

Scary how partial I am to 360 exclusives. All I know is I've had enough fun with all of them that I'm very very glad I decided not to wait and go PS3.

Yeah, that's a very good point, which is why I think The Orange Box and COD4 comparisons will be good, because if anything the 360 is at a disadvantage with those two games due to the effect of Halo 3 being the FPS on most 360 owners minds.

Assassin's Creed will be very tell-tale of how the two consoles stand as far as game sales go. No disadvantages, (simultaneous release dates I think).

The biggest disadvantage game by game imo is for the 360, because so many ...

Really? Hmm, that sucks, I thought they were released together.

No wonder the 360 is doing so well this fall, there's barely a smidge of competition on the PS3 side.

Too bad COD4 is going to soften the effect of The Orange Box coming out for PS3, kind of like Halo 3 softened it's effect on 360.

Valve isn't really one for timing, geez. "Let's release right in the midst of two of the biggest FPS franchises' launches." Though you can't re...

Back on topic, this is yet another blow for the 360 revealed, and is very consistent with sales figures for Guitar Hero III across the platforms for the first week, with Xbox 360 representing by far the largest part of the sales.

Now here's the two multiplatforms that the PS3 has to sell more copies in to stand a chance: Orange Box, and COD4. They're both first person shooters released after Halo 3, so 360 owners will be more reluctant to buy them.

The PS3 does...
