Proof that Sony aims at casual gamers and Cows are generally worse at games....

June 4, 2007 - As further proof of their infinite rockingness, Team Ninja and Tecmo have announced a way to extend the life of the Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo that's now available for download via the PlayStation Store.

The final version of the game will be able to detect how much of the demo you've played, and will reward you with an appropriate amount of Yellow Essence. This in-game form of currency can be used to purchase items and power-up your weapons, possibly making your first play-through of the full game a bit easier. Given the difficulty level we've come to expect from a Team Ninja title, this sounds like a good deal.

Those who want to get a head start on their fellow players prior to Sigma's release in a few weeks should start by downloading the free demo.

This is clearly Team Ninja giving the cows a crutch, thus acknowledging the fact that Cows simply aren't as good as other gamers.

Theres pleny other evidence supporting this idea. Sony is usually the last developer to integrate advances in controls.


N64 had analog, PS1 was still using a dpad
GC had triggers, PS2 had shoulder buttons
Wii has motion senson, PS3 still has a controller

If a Sheep were to face a cow in a gaming competition I think we all know who would win.

But who do we blame for this ? Do we blame Sony for being overprotective of their young cattle and not allowing them to develop fast enough, or are cows truly behind other gamers in skill ?

id love to sit and argue with you but it looks like your mommie is waiting outside to bring you day care, because she clearly doesnt love you and needs to get rid of you for the day. which, ironically is what WE need here at SW.PSBox3SixWi

Have you played DBZ on the Wii :|.

And I hope you realize SF2 is the primary SF used in competitions.

Okay, that's not funny.

I hate it when people use categorizing and generalizing statements.  Its kinda like racism. ignorant.

Hello sony_casual, should I just go ahead and report you for ban dodging?miss_kitt3n

TC. I'll take you in DBZ, Street Fighter, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Melee, DOA, Mortal Kombat, Samurai Showdown, Marvel vs. Capcom, you name it.

I'll win though :twisted:

EDIT: and I'll throw in Children of the Atom :)

:lol: Come online in a Socom game and play against the Cows and me. Show us how bad we are at games. ;) majadamus

I don't buy it.  All they are doing is giving sony gamers more incentive to buy the game. I'm pretty damn sure companies like microsoft and nintendo, or those that work for their consoles, have done the same thing.

And you don't sound unbiased at all, to be honest. This accusation of sony seems to make you a fanboy considering its mere speculation and for some reason, I get the feeling you're trying to act intelligent simply to get a kick out of this.

Well, you talking to the right person to gain knowledge on SF. The reason for that is "hit-confirm", "secondary guessing", and meaty attacks. No, by no means these are button mashing, but a way to have a "safe gaurd" in doing a certain move. We call it "triple tapping". Novice players would only press the button 1 time to confirm a hit. A Veteran would hit 3 buttons in the given time frame to confirm a super, meaty, or a special move. Simple, the odds are in your favor for a move to happen 3:1.

[QUOTE="miss_kitt3n"]Hello sony_casual, should I just go ahead and report you for ban dodging?OlDirtyMiyamoto

Sony_casual was a wu-tang clan fan too, and he had that "ol' dirty miyamoto" crap in is sig.

Oh and that IP ban thing on Gamespot is a silly myth.

I think they put this in there because too many xbox owners and reviewers complained about the difficulty. 

To the thread starter...

In my opinion, you are over-analyzing something simple. Every person is unique in skill. Perhaps some are good at fighting games whereas others can dominate FPS games. Control style does not give any one player an extreme advantage/disadvantage over the other.

Another facet to look at is the game itself. In this fandom, game difficulty spans a broad spectrum. Some are obviously more easy than others. Take this example: I am absolutely terrible at Devil May Cry 3, but can defeat nearly anyone at FEAR. Does that mean FPS games are easy? No. Does that mean all games from the Sony universe are hard? No.

My point is that we all have differences and preferences. It is unfair to label an entire group for something so simple.

...haha, I don't like FPS's that much. And Counterstrike and Socom aren't FPS. They're tactical shooters, n4b.

No, it's an old Arcade thing to do. This has nothing to do with console. Notice I said "triple tapping". You can't do that with a joypad.
