Why is N4G in the Header?, whay did you expect although N4G is the best site in theory its now used as an tool with one side controlling it. Only Fanboys with goals and agenda's use this site people that would never say the the things on other sites come here. Only a few actually respect this site for what was originally going to make this the greatest site on the web.

mighty_douche5960d ago (Edited 5960d ago )

lol are you seriously moaning about the calibre of this sites users?

look at your f*cking self mate.

THAMMER15960d ago

Power of green is 100% correct. People use gang and group tactics on this site more than a Republican vs. Democratic web site and you are a part of the problem your self.

People throw around more ignorant false claims on this site that I have ever seen and this crap is getting ugly. If I did not believe that this was the best site on the web I would have left moths ago.

FAN bOYS SUCK

mighty_douche5960d ago

yes i agree people abuse the site, thing is, you cant complain about it when your the f*cking idiot doing it!

ravinash5960d ago (Edited 5960d ago )

Actually the links and articles here are good as its a quick access to all sites and the latest news.
But lets face it, the comments are crap with guys just mouthing off and talking crap like teenagers.
mighty_douche isn't so bad, we know where his loyalties lie, but he only really tend to bash on things to prove a point to the fan boys to put them in their place.
but that truth is everyone will have a favourite console for different reasons.
I myself prefer the PS3 because I feel that its built better, I never had problems with the Sony brand, I prefer the game line up, and I like the O/S system on it better than the other one.
Of course other people will like 360 more for other reasons.

The only problem on this site is you either have idiots who don't know how to express them selves, People who just want to get attention, or people who just want to start a fight.
Just the other day Lawman was making his usual comments about no PS3 games and calling uncharted unwanted. the same stuff he says over and over. So when I asked him why he makes comments about PS3 games if he obviously does not like the PS3 and wouldn't be playing them....all I get back from him is yet more comments he's uses on this site (the one about PS3 being a door stop) and then calling me a loser.
So there you have it, someone who opinion really is worth 2 cents.

TitanUp5959d ago

just ignore the comments. on the news side weird rumors get posted and we dont get much news from the xbox side now

before it was the exact opposite wish people would approve of both ps3 and 360 news

N64: Recompiled — Creating Native PC Ports Is A Godsend For Game Preservation

"In a time when companies don't care about preserving games, I have high respect for the creators of projects like N64: Recompiled." - Hanzala from eXputer.

il beat you to the ski-lift,

framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?

talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr

morning rant over.

here, relive some ,memories. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Two Decades Later, the Original Splinter Cell is Still a Masterpiece

They don't make games like this anymore.

Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Jingsing3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.

TheProfessional2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.

rlow12d ago

I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.

vgvill2d ago

They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.

PrecursorOrb2d ago

Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company

Chocoburger2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.

Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.

Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.

If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard

As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
