forevercloud3000 I disagree. The orange box and fallout 3 have both had noticable problems on PS3. Framerate issues etc. Kotaku even had a story recently on the problems in the PS3 version of FO3. The orange box also had a lot of documented issues as that version wasn't even handled by valve.
Bioshock and oblivion both came out a long time on 360 before PS3. So of course they got higher scores. The same game released later is compartively less good. Standards are raised. If Oblivion was released now on 360 it wouldn't get the same high scores it did when it was released ages ago.
Devil may cry 4, what differences were there exactly? The PS3 had slighty shorter load times? After a lengthy install. Seems fair enough they got equal scores. I don't think shortening the installs through the game for a long pre game install is worth an extra .1 of a score.
I do agree though that it seemed they gave these games the same score on purpose. The review of GoW2 basically only has 2 negatives. He thought some voice work was slightly cheesy and there was a tiny bit of lag. I would say the lag isn't going to be an issue when the games released. Epic aren't exactly known for their bad online play. The review read like it was going to be up near 9.8 or so. |
A 20min install doesnt sound that bad when it completely eliminates all load times in the actual game. I dont know how it ran on other people's PS3s but on mine the screen would turn black for less then a second and then you would be right back in the action which I feel many completely over looked. In DMC4 in particular the load difference is a lot bigger then many give it credit.

Sorry to go a bit off topic, but a 20 minute install isn't bad if you can control when you do it. When I buy a console game I want to play it right from the get go, not look at a progress bar for 20 minutes.
I would much rather deal with load times for my first playthrough and then just install it later when I'm not waiting to play the game.

It is personal preference, and I understand wanting to play the games as soon as posible. I personally do not see if from a time vs. time issue. If I need to wait 20 minutes for an install, you won't see me sitting on my couch doing nothing. I'll be about doing something else so my time isn't wasted. So the whole of the game would be a better expereince, and it saves on ware and tear on the optical disc drive.
