had it since 2005 so I'm pretty happy with it. hell, if you like a game and rent it on launch day it ships to you brand new and you can keep it for 43-45 dollars. a new game for 20-25 bucks off is pretty cool
gone are the days of working designs epic box sets, RPG posters, and strategy guides with most releases. Hell, only rockstar puts maps with GTA series anymore (and their manuals typically look like a pamphlet for that games city) sad to see them go but they are usless in most games anyway...
It annoys me how with the current economic climate, that Sony and Microsoft can't ever show when or what games are dropping each week. I don't know about you but I like to plan out my spending each month so I know what I can afford. Knowing what games or DLC is coming out when helps!!
The playstation blog tends to list an exclusive the day before release (wed. usually PSN updates on thurs.), with little to no information with it. This is compounded by the fact that sony does not force developer to put a demo with every game. That makes me not purchase many games for it. With the industry going more and more towards digital distrbution, I need more information on every purchase. Demos NEED to be put out with every game.
Don't get me wrong, mircrosoft is far from perfect. they announce titles sun. or mon. of that week. Though there are demos with every arcade release. and the fact that they use space bucks (sorry. "microsoft points" ) is kind of arbitrary( 800 pts = $10.00 ). At least sony uses dollar amounts, and the wii's point system just removes the decimal point ( $10.00=1000 pts.) [not that the money or points is terribly relevent I felt it needed mentioning]
I almost never use the wii so I can't say to much about it, but typically the same week by week problem exist there as well.
I don't get why they can't go at least month by month, even the fall & spring promotions they have been doing just give a list of future games but still no release dates!!
Maybe it sounds like I'm blowing this out of proportion, but I needed to get it off my chest. and to see if i'm alone with this problem or not. So what say you? What have I missed? Any thoughts
max payne took a long time and was a great game, but I hope that this doesn't turn into duke nukem forever.......... still waiting for a ship date for this game in my lifetime.
What's with all the hate?! This is RE4 with co-op. Exactly what i wanted! Plus this is supposed to be the end of this story. they are rebooting the story it with the next one. Pretty sure that means a control overhaul as well, the producer has pretty much said as much on 1up's cover story. RE was never meant to be like gears anyway.
If you want RE that lets you move while you shoot, try dead space, or lost planet. To be honest, I look at combat in RE more like a puzzle. you need to constanly think of how to best position yourself to attack instead of shooting randomly like in most games.
Yet another once great developer dies before christmas. Good luck to the displaced team members,I hope they can either restructure the company or find new jobs soon.....
this sucks! not just for the loss of a great studio. (I was looking forward to timesplitters 4, they tripped up with haze) It's always disheartening to see people lose their jobs near the holidays. at least they got paid... good luck to the rest of them.
