Great article, the media and all these goofy writers should show more respect to Sony, they probably wouldn't be making a living off writing about games if it wasn't the Playstation!

 

Dang, son, my head hurts from wading through the first two graphs.

I take it Engrish isn't the writer's native tongue.

PHAIL.

CRIKEY, im offended.

We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

1. Sony tried to sell a $599 console.
2. Sony lost many of its exclusives, some as high profile as GTA, Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy, DMC and Tekken. And yet they expect us to pay $599 (now $299 finally) for their console.
3. Their first/second party isn't up to standards. Nintendo could afford to lose third party support cause they had Mario, Zelda, RARE, Star Fox, etc. etc. to fall back on. Sony's first/second party is just average.
4. Their lies and propaganda and false hype.
5. Them always trying to force their new worthless technology on us. The CELL and Blu-ray put the pS3 to astronomical prices and delayed the system relentlessly. Not to mention making it complicated to work on.

You would have been better of without some of this nonsense you posted. Have you got proof that Blu-ray was worthless? Your assessment of their 1st/2nd party studis/games is your opinion. The rest of the industry, thankfully, doesn't seem to agree with it.

The PS3's first/second party games are average at the most - at least not worth it to pay $300 for the console. Sony is the complete opposite of MS and Nintendo (who both have franchises that could keep them alive with ease - Sony has nothing).

And Blu-ray is worthless, optical discs are on their way out and it pushed the PS3 to cost $599 in the beginning, and what benefits? Yeah, so we don't have to switch discs.... I'd rather switch discs than go through 40 minute installs. Seriously. Metal Gear Solid 4 would've been better on 2 or 3 discs (original MGS was on 2 discs anyways), rather than watching Snake smoke and messages for 20 minutes.

I can see this is hopeless. You believe your stuff to be facts, which they're not. I'll refrain from furtering this, but just remember: TO EACH HIS OWN...

Carry on...

Apparently people agree cause PS3 games (and the PS3 itself) are dusting up at stores. Third parties made Sony (Final Fantasy VII, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil and Tekken made the PS1 popular, GTAIII, MGS2, Final Fantasy X made the PS2 popular), and now that almost all the major third party games belong to Microsoft now the PS3 has nothing.

  Whatever floats your boat.

Sony has nothing that makes it worth $299 at least.

Thats a bullshit article. Does someone want a sprained wrist listing the entire history of negative Wii news? I didn't think so.

Uncharted 2 bows to Halo. Uncharted shouldn't even be in the same sentence as Halo.

       I know.  Putting Uncharted in the same sentence with Halo is an utter disgrace to Uncharted considering its a new series with its best moments ahead of it while Halo's best moments were over with Halo 3.

     And mods before you get trigger happy look at the crap this guy wrote on the last page.  I'm only fighting BS with BS.

Comparing an average AA game that needed a bundle to boost sales to the megaton, Triple AAA, GOTY winning series that changed gaming forever is an insult. Uncharted's 6 hour series shouldn't even be mentioned to the 2.8 million first week sales, GOTY winning, 93.4% game. Uncharted is a wanna be Gears of War, the multiplayer looks like a poor man's Gears of War. Uncharted wouldn't be such a bad game if it wasn't so repetitive, short, and more original.

Uncharted would've just been another game on the PS2 or Xbox 360... on the PS3 it's like the gold standard lol. Dang, no wonder there are many fanboys online cause their best games are like 5 hours (I was shocked at how fast I beat Uncharted - I even looked for treasures and played casually and beat it so quick).

The two of you stop derailing this thread. If you must finish this conversation with PM's or in a thread dealing with that topic...



Former something....

     I doubt if you've ever played Uncharted.  And if you beat it that quick you must have been using a hint guide.  It takes a good 15 to 20 hours to beat the single player story mode much longer than Halo or Gears'1 player game.  And the game is as much Ico as it is Gears.
