And who are you to tell somebody who has been around on these forums for a shitload longer than you and is well respected by most of the community what he is allowed to do? 

He hasn't wavered in his criticism as far as I can see in fact the only person who hasn't backed up their point is you, saying that you could button mash without looking on other 3D platformers and win.

Then you go on to criticise him for not bullshitting when you ask him if he played GoWII?

Seriously man, your posts are just full of WTF? From what I can see your basically saying his opinions are bullshit because you don't agree with them?

I don't care that you hated the game.  I said that you essentially calling it a mindless button masher is a load of horse shit.  And it still is.  Any similar game faced with your criteria for whether or not a game is a button masher pretty much fails, thus the criteria is garbage.  That's the point.

"And who are you to tell somebody who has been around on these forums for a shitload longer than you and is well respected by most of the community what he is allowed to do?"

How about you point out the wrongs in my logic instead of this argument from elitism.  A lower User ID and warm fuzzies from people around you doesn't make you right.

"He hasn't wavered in his criticism as far as I can see in fact the only person who hasn't backed up their point is you, saying that you could button mash without looking on other 3D platformers and win."

You can button mash on other 3d platformers and win.  I did so, but was not going to go through the hassle of putting up a video if the response was going to be, "Well that game is dumb." 

"Then you go on to criticise him for not bullshitting when you ask him if he played GoWII?"

Saying he hadn't played GoW II wasn't bullshitting.  The bullshitting part is the part where, after asking me to post proof that you could just randomly press buttons in another game and get through a part of it, he pretends that he doesn't care.

You do know the purpose of the demo is to get a good feel for the game correct? When I can play 95% of the demo without even looking at the screen I would call that a mindless button masher. If you needed to be reminded of the fact, I'll point you back to the video.

I know you love to point out that I lost so much of my health in the video, but remember the average player will in fact *gasp* lose health.

Believe, there wasn't any pretending, I find wasting your time much more interesting than talking about God of War II.

Post a vid of you beating a decent amount of it without looking?

Rath, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I think he failed to realize I was merely mocking him about his BS claim about my HS claim. I know he can't prove that almost every platformer (since he did say that) can be beaten by mindlessly pressing two face buttons and he knows it as well.

I guess it wouldn't be a good idea to post my first impressions as they're not good. I'm not entirely thrilled right now. 2 reasons I can name up ... the menu / PSN store is giving me a splendid headache because the letters are so freaking small and my system froze 3 times!

24 hours later... survived my headache and getting slightly used to the menu, PS3 no longer freezes with PSN so far, thank god and am so far very pleased about the BC, which was so important to me, to buy this PS3 in the first place ;) Played Oblivion GoTYe a bit yesterday evening... very impressive game, indeed ;) Never played a first person RPG before and especially not a Western RPG, so have many things to get used to, when playing this game. First impressions were "outstanding game!"

I'm surprised how I easily get used to controls. I could deal with the sixasis controls in no time. Played the demo of Uncharted, but only a small bit. Normally these type of games, what concerns gameplay, aren't my thing, but the atmosphere, sound, story, kind of drew my attention. Unfortunate I'm experiencing frame rate issues in the US demo, which is too bad, as the game is a true beauty... *cough*, especially Nate *grin*.

On a semantic level, that's true and I should've chosen my words better.  I'd have to show just about every similar 3d platformer doing the same.  Either way, this could go around and around forever, so to hell with it.  We'll just have to agree to disagree on that claim.

Hope everyone had a good TG. 

 If I had to guess, would the freezing be from the news feed? It would slow my system down when I had it on (mainly when I didn't have an internet connection hooked up) so I turned it off and I don't have the problem anymore.
