+++1like Uncharted Drakes Fortune, big disappointment
I guess so, but personally, I think Uncharted is an absolutely brilliant game, and sets so many new next gen standards for that genre of game, and in some cases, game development in general!I guess every game has the few that don't like it.
+1If anyone gets PAIN, please share your experience. $10 is still $10.
It looks liek it can be great or horrible, and I am not betting $10 on it.I was only mildly interested from the first couple trailers, but that last couple have been very amusing! I especially cracked up over the Spank the Monkey mode... and the new add-on skins look fun as well. Had it been around $5, or I hadn't just bought a bunch of PSN games lately I would have snagged it up in a heart beat.
Because casinos don't let you sit at a table by yourself wearing just your boxer shorts?I'm still wondering why I bought the High Stakes Poker game.
Now, the question is do I keep downloading these things in order to try and increase the perceived popularity of downloadable movies and TV shows, or save myself the time and trouble? I tried watching the first two episodes and had to quit a few minutes in.As far as downloads go... if you are into that Asian MTV style show, HiTV HD, there is another two part episode available for download in the Korean PSN Store... this time the girls are racing Go-Karts.... again, pretty boring, and not my kind of thing... but like games, opinions will vary.
I just fast forwarded at 30x speed just so I could at least have an idea what each one was about.Now, the question is do I keep downloading these things in order to try and increase the perceived popularity of downloadable movies and TV shows, or save myself the time and trouble?

Kane and Lynch demo? Didn't see it. Europe only?
It's all speculation and taking either side in this is a disservice. Yes, the situation around this is suspicious, but at the same time Cnet (parent company) has a history of telling advertisers to screw off in order to preserve their integrity.Beat to death Gerstmann story
Read some of the story here.. and see the un-edited video review...

I summarized it.Where did I say 'beat to death gerstmann story' in my previous post?
Having had to fire some people before I can tell you right now that there are many, many reasons this can happen and look suspicious. Whenever I see something like this with no other proof than speculation I just shrug and move on. You will never get an honest answer because, despite every blog site acting like it is a cop out, they cannot say what the reasons were by law. They can't even tell his next potential employer the reasons, nor can his next potential employer even ask. And if you want to get really picky about it his immediate supervisors and HR person can't even tell other supervisors within their own company. For all you know he was visiting naughty Web sites on his work PC.Its still doesn't change the fact that someone got fired! I think Jeff did quite a good job on shows like on the spot and his reviews are usually well balanced but I have always been unhappy with Gamespots 360 bias. A guy with 11 years of experience doesn't just disappear for no reason! I believe his K & L review was 100% the reason.
I'm also guessing you missed blackout Monday then?I visit Gamespot quite a lot for pictures and release dates and the occasional review but I will always see what people here feel about the game and take that as a review because dur, the people here know what they are talking about and they are the real consumers.
Are we playing the same demos? I think maybe two or three actually made me think the game seems great.Also thankgod we are now in the age of downloadable demos so you can just find out what its like for yourself!
I sigh each and every time I see someone post a review of a game based on a demo!Also thankgod we are now in the age of downloadable demos so you can just find out what its like for yourself!
In a moment of weakness I downloaded PAIN. It's fun getting combos bouncing off of stuff. You can grab onto passing object, effect the direction of you bouncing off of stuff, everything seem responsive to the rag doll physics. It's too early to say if it was a good choice or not to get it, but it is fun seeing your character flailing through the air. Oh yeah, there's also different posses you can do...in one of his posses, he sticks his butt in the air and farts.
TMIHave you spanked the monkey already, Pako?
what's 'tmi'?
I'd gladly pay $30, just to have a game with farting!
Well, not really. But I downloaded the trailer yesterday and it seems like a fun game. I liked the part where we had to spank the monkey, that was cool.
Have you spanked the monkey already, Pako?
I can't wait for the Burnout Paradise demo this week. It has online play too!
