Was just wandering if you realised that the gaming industry is designed to extract the maximum amount of money from your wallet while implementing the lowest possible production costs although some companies do care about making good games (CCP, Bioware, Bestheda etc) "

of course therer are companies that makes the most out of they have! and Im glad for it, totally glad! its just as a gamer that has been around since the commodre64 now I can tell without lying that the games was more often in the past much moer well done thatn many games today, sure we have better graphics etc. but its not that they go all the way anylonger as they used in the past, of course this has much to do with the fact that money is much more important than the quality of the product today, for many companies - we see it everywhere, mobilephones, tv's etc. They don't make the best tv's if they DID we would not buy another one in 2 yrs time and they know this, sadly this behaviour has come into the gaming industry aswell which is sad.. becuase there are so many games out here that could have been AWSOME but instead we are just given a few awsome games each year.
and Im not trying to bash down on the smaller companies that work the best they can with the equipment they got. Im talking about those that actually put out games that seems to be not really ready for shipment, I'll called it lazyness but I realize now that I should have called it "profithunger" :D

This is not some taking sides, even exclusive games on both systems can look better than they do, so this is not a "only ps3" related issue! We still pay the bloody money for the machines and we pay the money for the games - its nothing wrong with feeling a bit ripped off when the games don't live up to the standard we know the consoles can! 
 
and I know its buisness, money is more important than the final result even in the gaming industry nowdays, its the same everywhere, mobilephones that are "outdated" within a year etc. that's not because all things develop so fast, its becuase they don't want consumers to have the "best" there is right away, since we wouldn't buy so much knew crap all the time. This has affected the gaming industry aswell! Nowdays more and more games, exclusive or multi quite often don't really come up to the standards at least I want to see.

" as a programmer I can tell you that multi threaded programming is the most bloody awful work someone can do. I find 2 cores hard, 8 cores is insane, Sony made a mistake with its architecture decision. Its a really powerful machine but decent threading libraries are only just arriving. "

then learn or don't develop for the console at all, it works in other industries, just becuase you are a nurse, and good at it, don't justify it to become a doctor and not be able to do that work so well, and this is not to look down at your job, I bet u are a good programmer but u might be better working on the 360 than on the ps3, I don't care if sony looses money if games stopped being made, Im the consumer I only care for the endresult, and today Im not always getting what Im paying for.  Work with the machine u can the best and make the most out of it that's my tip as a consumer, NOT as a fan of either Microshaft or $sony :D

" Let's not be too hasty to recommend the PS3. I hear it has less foliage and ground vegetation.  Sorry to drop that truth bomb on you, but it's kind of a big deal. "

They are not really recommending the PS3 version in here, so no harm done there.

Well I can't safley say this aint one of the best FF games in the series.. It takes way too much time before it opens up and the grid system they tweakede from FF12 is tweaked in the wrong way to say the least!
But its still better than FF8 and ffx-2! FF8 had a good story and all BUT the fact u only could upgrade your weapons in that game made it fall apart bigtime.. 
Thisone.. well. they could have done alot better! the fighting system on the other hand is brilliant WHEN it finally opens up which takes way too much time...

why change something that works? Im glad they didn't break down the first two games and started all over! This is what GoW is! Hard as hell if u play on the tougher difficulties! 
Ends the trilogy well! it will be hard for other game makers to top this trilogy! if it can be done?
I found it good that the various weapons actually made difference to the gameplay this time and that some of the weapons worked better than others on different enemies! Good job there santa moncia!
