Don't think he deserved to be banned for 2 weeks for that :O

A day max if I were a mod, but I'd have gone with a warning first....I believe in change in people....


Progressive ban is progressive plus he makes a lot of trouble.

Going to get some hate for this - especially from some guys I respect here. Well, to you - respect my opinion:

Heavy Rain

Didn't enjoy it one drop. It's possible that I was in the wrong head space when I put the 4-5 hours in. I didn't really like the story or the way it was told. The gameplay was really no fun and too slow. It felt restrictve. 

Hmmm, let's hear it from the fans: Should I try it again? I didn't like God of War 3 that much the first time either, but it ended up being my Game of the Year. Anyone want to convince me to pick it up again? (I sold my first copy)

How did that happen???


That happend to me multiple times actually. especially with very hyped games



Final Fantasy XIII all that hyped, all that wait for a game which didn't try to innovate at all and to be frank just went back-wards the characters were a pile of donkey piss, the gameplay is still your basic RPG fare after creating your action slots and the story was pretty underwhelming.

Final Fantasy really needs to be stripped down with the character and story hopefully adapting a mature stance, as they need to appease FF generation which has grown up.

Once I got into the mood of the game; How Kratos is portrayed as the ultimate bringer of distruction, how he kills EVERYONE, how he never backs away and brutally kills anyone in his way... The jaw-dropping technical mastery of Santa Monica and their full use of the PS3...

Look, I believe you have to binge GoW. You have to play it through and 1 or 2 days straight. The continuity aspect is essential in experiencing it properly.

I lent my PS3 to my Xbuddies (lol) and some of them are also quite into super Hi res pc gaming. They all sat spellbound through whole game at the brutality of Kratos. I remember this one moment while my bud was taking down Poseidon; Everyone was ooooh-ing, aaaaah-ing and laughing their asses off at the spectacle. Then, right in the end when you're looking through Poseidon's eyes and the prompt is ''L3 R3'' I realized: Good God this is f(_)cking unbelievable.

God of War III, only because it was God of War II with better graphics and boss fights.  I was expecting more variety in enemies and fighting larger amounts of enemies.  It's like the creators didn't want to take a single risk and change something up.  It's a great game but if a sequel doesn't change the formula at all, it should not be rated highly imo.  Don't get me wrong, I loved the game, but it was God of War II with a new paint job.  I wished they would have let you keep the titan powers and combine them with the god powers and then fight double or triple the enemies.  It would have been epic fighting 6 cyclops at once.  My last gripe is the bullshit, the power was in you all along, cliche.  Why not let me be completely powered up at the beginning of the game?  Oh, that's right, that would involve changing up the formula from God of War II.

1. If it aint broke, don't fix it ! God of War 1 was great... 2 was a significant improvement... 3 was simply the most refined in terms of gameplay and somewhat of a step up from 2 in terms of gameplay.

2. "It would have been epic fighting 6 cyclops at once."

Fail. You did fight 5-6 cyclopses at a time before the Labyrinth.

3. Story was never the strongest part of God of War...and its a legit reason why I'd think someone would think the game was over-rated imo.

4. The "formula" may not have changed.... but there were some new things that were pretty cool like the rideable creatures, sub-weapons that you'd actually use, and stuff like the hermes boots with the alt dodge option....


I don't remember fighting 6 on the screen at one time, I remember fighting 2 at a time and others appear after they died.  If I'm wrong, then yup, I fail.  I've only played it on normal, gonna do harder difficulties when I have more time.



Red Dead Redemption.

I'm sorry, I love a lot of Westerns, mainly spaghetti Westerns, which this game cleverly nods to a few times, but I can't for the life of me figure out why people think this game is so good. The world is so huge, but there is by and largely a whole lot of nothing to do outside of the main story. My options for minigames are herding cattle, playing poker, and throwing horseshoes (which is actually pretty fun). That's about all I found worth doing outside of the main storyline. Hunting challenges are too boring, and I didn't really feel like finding a guide to look up where to find them. The plant collecting challenges are hysterically awful. Who's terrible idea was this? How is collecting plants fun in the slightest?

I'd also like to point out how the middle of the story is complete, 100% filler. The entire Mexico plotline is pointless until the last mission where you find who you came down there for. Since Rockstar prides itself on making these huge sandboxes, how about making a game where half the story isn't an utter waste of time?

I'm not saying it's a bad game, but Rockstar remain in my eyes, the single most overrated developers of this generation. Nothing they've done now is worth even putting in the same sentence as San Andreas in my opinion.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Black Ops. 

Were was all the fuss about ?

I dare you to try to get the 20 million credits it takes to get to the top rank in Halo Reach

Why? Do you start losing points when you lose at higher ranks? If you do I might start it playing again.



I have to go with mass effect 2. The game itself wasnt terrible. But after playing mass effect 1 I kind of assumed mass effect 2 would be a rpg. It was such a disappointment that they made it into a action adventure game.

 

p.s. next year at this time i will probably say dragons age 2. From what i have seen so far from that game they are going to mass effect 2 it.
