lol damn, talk about getting caught red handed! Man, I never trusted review scores, as I relied on the actual written content of the review to sort of give me an idea about whether I should or should not purchase a game.(Of course I don't always agree with the review...I bought Lair and loved it!)....but it seems you can't even rely on that these days...
I think I'll just stick to playing demos and listening to my friends to see if a game is worth the £40
If all you care about is homebrew, why not just get the psp? Interestingly, the Vita looks more capable than the Wii.
As for me, just dropped £530 on a new phone after 2 years of waiting for a decent upgrade...I'll gladly pay £230...but I'm glad it's not out in the UK until next March :-)
That's a very good question. Gotta admit, I'm tempted to import one myself but I've got way too many games to finish and buy :-)
If Grant Turismo is good enough for Jeremy Clarkson (No,I'm not talking voice overs, |I'm talking about the time when Clarkson played GT4 on TopGear on Laguna Seca...and then try to beat his time in real life) David Coultard, Sebastian Vittel (Yes, he's said many times hes uses GT to practice) and Lewis Hamilton (among others)...
...then it's good enough for me ;-)
Lol it'll will never end. How would websites get their hits? :-)
Even if they gave G5 1/100 and Forza 4 100/100, I'd STILL buy GT5 over Forza 4. What Forza does, it does well but there's simply too much to do in GT5. It stopped me buying F1 2011, a Nascar game and the new Dirt. (hell, it's even got bloody go karts Don't get me wrong, those games to a better hjob dealing with their singular respective sub-genres than GT5, but since I have everything in one place (including weather and dynamic time of day) I just cant justify buying another...
The funny thing is, I own and have finished everyone of those games....and *shock horror* I actually finisher Lair with the motion controls twice and hated the patch with 'regular controls'
A great and well written article...and I fully agree with your point of view!
...yeah, because streetlights don't exist right? :-)
Pc gaming died for me personally after I spent 2 years on FF11 online. Just hasn't got as much variety of genres or at least the ones I like the most
Platformers
Fighting Games
JRPGs
Though I do generally feel sorry for you 3ds early adopters, you should of known Nintendo's past track record! Look at how many iterations they do of a handheld. Also, if you're gonna buy a new console, how about you wait for some games you like so you can actually play on it!
To all of those that feel they got burnt, my advice: Do not get the bloody Wii U until at least 6 months or so!!
I loved Syndicate!! I was so excited when I saw this title of this story...then I found out they changed it into a bloody FPS!!! For fcuks sake!!!
They f'd up Front Mission by turning it into an FPS already!
Now this <sigh>...
"EVERY SINGLE TIME" eh?
So by your logic the old Xbox 360 in Japan should be destroying the new 3DS.
Didn't think so...
By the way, even Nintendo knows something needs to be done with the 3DS because as well as the price drop, they are about to release this as well:

Nice numbers...after they had to drop the price only after how many months again? :-)
Besides your list proved my point. The 3DS only took over it because it had that price drop. Before that happened, the PSP was taking over everything...and what jdfoster above me said :-)
For a system the western media would tell you 'failed' it's doing pretty well!
It might not...in America...but we know that America isn't the whole world :-)
Look how the psp is doing in Japan...it's kicking EVERYTHING's ass. Once Monster Hunter came out, it solidified it completely in Japan. Capcom even said that Monster Hunter 2nd G on the PSP is the best selling game they have had...ever! (Including the mighty Streetfighter!) It even took out Pokemon!
I for one don't see the Japanese wanting to play a Monster Hunte...
The really sad thing is that there are gonna be some retarded people who will actually buy this...
I think he maybe right. I mean look at all the games that are coming out now, soon and next year. There's tons! I'm happy at the moment just trying to keep up playing and finishing all of these games.
Another thing: the poster jaosobno listed the things that he thinks could be improved on....problem is some consumers (and media) want all those functions for the price of the current consoles now lol Even before Sony dropped the PS3 recently by £50 people (inclu...
$2?!!!!!!! Bloody hell
No offence man, but when I'm SELLING something, the point is how much I get for that item or I would just give it away.
He's definitely onto something. The Official Playstation magazine is going to reveal something big very soon
