It love how people play THIS game, and it makes them want a PS3, yet 1up acts like this game is a POS and no one will ever care about it.
So many people are convinced that this game is something to be wowed by, yet so many sites (well 1up basically) are bashing the hell out of it. It amuses me...
I liked how to tried to make it sound like everyone is out to get Motorstorm, yet AFAIK, only 1Down is trying to stand out and bash it all the time (and yes I saw the stuff in the parenthesis). Not everyone is evil.
@ CAMARO - Yet this game looks better than any 360 game as far as lighting and particle effects goes, and is a ton more fun than nearly every racing game available on the 360 (and looks better too). The only game I can think of as far as racing goes that was as fun was Burnout, but the NFS titles and PGR fail IMO.
Most Wanted rocks, but then again I played halfway through the PS2 version, and the whole way through in the original Xbox and X360 versions. Carbon is just bleh, though, but I'll buy it a year from now when I can get it for like $20.
PGR3 is fun and has as much potential as you want it to have. Personally, the abundance of load times, the obscene difficulty of Gold Medal challenges, and the overrated online has me keeping it on my shelf.
Burnout Revenge is really fun, but I'm not a huge fan of the series, so I traded it in at GameStop.
Test Drive Unlimited rocks and is IMO the best racer on the 360.
@ DUCK - I personally like the Sixaxis, but again, you talk about the trigers, and I have no trouble, as do none of my friends. It's all in your grip I suppose, ease up a little and you won't slip, it's actually very comfy IMO. I could have done with concave triggers, but still, it's all the same and works very well. The games aren't THAT intense...just ease up.
I guess it's just preference. And I'm not putting some Vulcan Death Grip on the Sixaxis.
Also, can we get the name changed, since obviously someone has jealousy issues. THe game blows so much out of the water, but someone is being a child. I'll create a new one if that's the way children are going to behave.
I agree.
Hehe.. you gotta see how 1uP review Gear of War (Hey, I got nothing against this game, it's a great game, I know): This game haS this problem, that problem..ect, and BAM, 10/10
One of my problems with 1UP (or 1down), and many review sites for that matter, is that they always use solid numbers instead of, say, 9.3/10. If GoW really deserves, say, 9.6/10
(this isn't my personal opinion, I haven't played the game), they round up to 10/10, when it really doesn't deserve that.
Camaro would agree because OMG CO-OP....old feature, tired gameplay, and a boring multiplayer.
Seriously how many times can these Gears chumps play the same maps with the same weapons with the same modes? There is NO variety, it's tiresome. The same thing over and over and over. Not even a lot of custom options during multiplayer, it's the weakest excuse for a multiplayer experience I've ever seen. MGO has more options for online than Gears of War...it's pathetic. Yet hte visuals (or lack there of IMO, they fake a lot of things) carry the game over and over again. And because of that we have children in this thread changing the thread title because they can't (or won't) buy a PS3. Motorstorm blows so many games out of the water graphically as far as lighting, particle effects, physics, AI...tons...but of course, this chump hasn't even played it...freaking ridiculous. Children I swear...
Gotta love 'em!
I vote for a title name change. from what I've played and seen it has surpassed what "I" expected and theres a lot more game to be revealed. And its far far beyond what EA's Next Gen madden trailer from Feb05 turned out to be. Still it sold tons and people like(for some reason)
Could someone post a link to that video?
^^^^Sreen is off the chain.
Which reminds me... do tire tracks on the road actually affect handling?
I do agree though, it looks good.
Oh 360's d-pad is ubber crap. cant be the best controller if the d-pad is garbage which it is.
I agree that the D-Pad isn't very good... but who the hell uses the D-Pad? I mean seriously. The only time I use it is if in games like Need for Speed or TDU it lets you visit messages, map, etc. That's it.
Wii mote: never used it but i cant imagine 4-5 hour gaming sessions using it for whats it was designed for. Wii elbow? Broken Tv's, Broken windows? Broken friends?
The part I bolded invalidates your ignorant statement about the Wii.
Again.
LaBounti, go to a GameStop and try out the Wii before making any more ridiculous judgments. You're just as bad as Solid Lifters saying "Resistance sucks" when he hasn't played the game.
I'm gonna have to say the 360 pad and the Dual Shock are a toss-up in egronomics. The 360 pad fits better, but the d-pad is in the wrong place and sucks. The Dual-Shock has better button placement and a few better buttons, but the controller isn't shaped as well (and I can't imagine th SA feeling radically different shape wise).
Agreed. Though IMHO the better shape trumps the better button placements. If you're going to do a 5 hour gaming session you don't want your hands to be hurtin' afterwards.
