The graphics look great, but I will never claim a graphics king it is to hard to tell. I cannot help but bitch about the screen tearing constant pop ins and some of the dumbest AI I have seen in a a game that is actually good.

I am barely in the game and I have seen the AI fall off building without help. Try running throu a vent were I was able to shoot their feet, but they still kept coming at me. I died at the same part and this time a guy succeded in running through the vent that time.

I can say it looks great, but they sacrificed some extra polishing for great graphics. Oh and I forgot the framerate slowed down so bad the game froze. Have not seen this many bugs since Fallout: New Vegas and I still like both games.

After I beat KZ3 which I own all probably share whether i think the game not only looks better or worse, but if it contains as many bugs. PEACE.

Oh yeah, I bet I've got you beat.

I turned a corner and saw 3 enemies stuck knee deep in the ground and unable to do anything. Made my trophy for "Kill 2 enemies with 1 shot" super easy. I thought maybe the aliens killed them, cut off their legs and placed them in a line or something, but I doubt it. When I shot the bullet that pierced all 3 of them they shot up out of the ground and backwards.

Plus I was getting ready to snipe some dude standing on a tank and watched as his legs did not move and he floated left and right, in the air next to the top of the tank, lol!

I've seen enemies get stuck in walls and running in place as well.

 

Game is really fun though.

Play it on superhuman. They aren't as stupid and its harder.

I am also 5 chapters in, I think it is called Lab Rat or something. Might even be the level afterwards. I recently finished the battle against the helicopter. 

I have seen little to no enemy variety, just a few of those initial alien things with the exposed jelly that you shoot, Cell soldiers and ugly bugs that crawl on the ground.

I started on Veteran. Gonna save SuperHuman for my second playthrough.

I do die often. Difficulty isn't an issue, I just find some the glitches amusing.

 

As I said though, I find the game very enjoyable. I am glad I picked it up.

I'm playing it on veteran for my first run through, so it will be easier for me to get the gold trophy by beating it on supersoldier later.

HOW CAN YOU GUYS 

1) again an abscure statement that xbox users say all the time, with nothing to back it up

2)already mentioned that was a pro for it, the only thing it has goin for it. and psn has chat, so unless you really want to talk to someone playing another game, it really isnt even a factor.

3)again a falsity that xbox users love to say. that is completely dependant upon your internet speed. nut nice try

4) completely opinion, they share 90% of their titles. and tons of psn exlusives like flight control, wipeout, echochrome, etc.

5)psn has last.fm and espn (as i mentioned). through the web browser which isnt great, but still performs adequately, and id still rather have it than not. plus it has netlix, hulu, vudoo, mlb.tv, nhl network. all at no additional fee.

 resistance, warhawk, many more, and just because youre a biased xbox owner doesnt mean either killzone or mag are terrible. reviews, and people on this site, strongly disagree with you. and just becasue you dont like the games, doesnt mean dedicated servers arent as good p2p. becasue its vastly superior, and youre paying microsoft to use your own internet, that u already pay for.

and theres a reason pc users who have a way better network than both psn and live dont pay for it. because they know they would be getting scammed.

also dont pretend like u own a ps3, your only lying to yourself.

heres some more anecdotal evidence. i know 3 people personally who own both systems, and used to pay for live, but now dont becasue they realize psn is superior

Then they are delusional because PSN does nothing better than LIVE but LIVE does everything better than PSN. You can compare the 2 because they have similar features but LIVE has more and does it better. Its not an argument. Your only argument is one is free and has an internet browser (a really crappy one). If you can't afford $60 a year then you need to stop worrying about games and worry about your economical situation.

You don't believe I have a PS3? Then look up my PSN ID: WhamBamThanxSam...I have God of War III, God of War Collection, UC1, UC2, Demon's Souls, Metal Gear Solid 4 (waste of $10 most overrated movie I mean game of all time) and Killzone 3 on my trophy collection (traded it in cause multiplayer was bad).

Just because I'm not up Sony's ass like you doesn't mean I don't have a PS3. You have no idea what LIVE has to offer and how it compares to PSN because you don't have it. If PSN was superior then why do people still pay for LIVE? Why does the 360 have a larger userbase online for multiplats then PSN?


what does live do better. netflix is in hd with 5.1 surround sound on ps3. does xbox have vudoo, does it have mlb.tv, does it have nhl network. NO. does it do dedicated servers better. NO. does it play any online game better. NO. games like call of duty or whatever, play exactly the same. is voice chat any better. NO. infact it forces you to use a proprietary headset, psn lets u choose any u want. 

also xbox live is very very closed, thats why portal doent get them same features on xbl and psn. also xbox forces developers to charge for dlc, vavle doesnt want to. thats why psn will get steam integration, free dlc, and quiker updates. also the play create share games like little big planet would npt be possible on the closed network Live.

$60 os more than a new game costs (on amazon) its more than my cable bill. and its still a charge to access your own internet, and get access to the other half of the $60 game you just purchased.

and no other network charges, not even Steam, which is by far the best with the most features.

theres a reason the paid version of windows live failed soo miserably. pc gamers knew they were getting ripped off. and refused to pay to play


Your argument is void. You're using stuff you can access through the browser which has crappy quality. Netflix is in HD with 5.1 surround sound and instant streaming. Nice try with that one. Yes it does play online games better. Its called party chat which I can use while playing with my friends and not listen to racist 10 year olds screaming in the mic. Voice chat as I mentioned earlier is better because of party chat, cross game chat, and much clearer chat. I can hear every single background noise when I play on PSN. And a propietary headset? That is your argument? Its a free headset that comes with every Xbox. Try a different argument. 360 has wireless mics that work just as well as Bluetooth if someone is so inclined to buy one.

Little Big Planet wouldn't work on LIVE? Who told you this nonsense. Ever hear of Final Fantasy 11? Yeah it was cross platform  MMO on Xbox LIVE that didn't need a gold subscription to play. Guess that theory is gone huh?

Once again its $60 A YEAR. Your cable bill is not less than $60 a year. Maybe $60 a month. Nice try though.


sorry i meant netflix supports 1080 only on ps3, not xbox. no it doesnt play online games better, they r exacltly the same. play call of duty on psn then live and tell me if you can tell the difference. also psn has part chat too. at you can also mute any one you dont want to talk to. and why the hell would you want to talk to someone not playing you game (though that is the thing i mentioned live has the psn doesnt). yes propreitary even the wireless one is. but way to lie again, xbox doesnt have blue tooth.

im talking play create share. also please prove to me that you could play FFXI with pc. and did you not listen to anything Gabe Newell said, portal for xbox doesnt have steam becasue he cant, live wont let him.

when did i say my cable bill is $60 year?


Well its hard to translate your English and what I read was you said your cable bill was lower than Xbox LIVE. PSN does not have party chat dude stop lying. Party chat is not talking to your friends when you are in the same lobby in a game. Party chat is a private chat where you talk to your friends and nobody else can hear or talk back unless they are in your party. PSN doesn't even have a functional private chat. You have to go to some stupid chat room like its 2001 and can't mess around on the dashboard. They might as well just remove that feature since its worthless.

If you have a fast enough internet to stream 1080p I'm impressed. There are very few who do. 1080p and 720p are not distinguishable to the human eye unless your tv is over 46" or you are closer than 4ft. Don't care if I can only stream up to 720p.

Yes I can tell the difference between PSN and LIVE playing Call of Duty. There are 3 ways I can tell: No party chat, controller is different, and PSN players are much worse than LIVE players. My friend who is terrible actually has a positive KDR on PSN.

I never said LIVE had bluetooth. I said it has a wireless mic that works as well as a bluetooth mic (actually better becaues there isn't background noise like PSN).

You're not going to win this argument. There are many many people who know and like LIVE better and given the choice if both were free every single person would pick LIVE. It offers more and works better.

Earlier I didn't respond to you saying that PSN was just as fast as LIVE in updates and downloads. No dude its not. As I said I have both a PS3 and 360 and the 360 updates miles faster. Longest I've ever had to wait for an update on the 360 is around 15 minutes to download the new dashboard. A complete overhaul. I've had to wait hours on PSN before. In fact it took 2 hours to completely update Uncharted 2 to my new PS3.

Edit: I see you've reported me. I hope you never leave your sheltered existance to explore the real world because if what I've typed on here hurts your feelings you won't survive 5 minutes outside.


how can you tell if someone reported you?

About the same amount of variety that Killzone offers.

Because someone did and it was obviously you.

I'm done arguing over PSN vs LIVE. Every sane person on here knows LIVE is better. Step back and think for a second. You actually think Sony, a hardware company, does online better than MS, one of the richest software companies in the world? Do you think Bill Gates won the lottery? MS knows software and online. PSN isn't bad, but its bad compared to LIVE. Maybe with the PS4 Sony will learn to integrate PSN better and make it easier to use. Then you will have an argument. Until then stick with the graphics arguments. You have one there.

Edit: I'm doing a 3D model of Kratos in Maya for my animation class. If I didn't have a PS3 or hated the PS3 I don't think I would have chosen him. I'll show you next month when I'm done.

In fact it took 2 hours to completely update Uncharted 2 to my new PS3.

its also 1080i. and you dont need a very big TV (but i do its 73") and not all games have party chat, its dependent upon the game. you clearly dont know any thngabout mics or bluetooth. the only way you cancel out background niose is if you mic does it, Iwhich 99% do. and very well, thats why bluetooth is used for phones.

i played MW2 on my brotherin laws xbox, had a 3.5 KDR, when my psn is just 2.2. sooo....

i also prefure not having to buy batteries for my remote, so im glad i dont have the xbox remote.

also you lie again. updates have everything to do with internet speed. the only reason one would take longer than the other is due to the size of the file (MB and GB).

and updates dont happen once a week, at max once a month. also the only reason uncharted 2 would take that long is becasue you have really slow internet and you hadnt played it for months, and you were on version 1.01 and you updated it to 1.09. also uncharted doesnt have an install, so if you were talking about that.....
