Why do people insist on putting Alan Wake and ME2 up there with GOW3 and U2?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Graphically I see you can be right about ME2, but Alan Wake is looking great.
Haven't seen too much of ME2.
U2 is the only decent looking game GoW3 is still just a simple hack n slash that looks pretty. No one cares about KZ2 anymore and even more so with COD:MW2 coming out.
Alan Wake looks neat and is worth a rent, and ME2 will be good I guess not in to those types of games and never played the first one by the people I know that did play it really liked it.
Why did you leave out Halo:ODST it's going to be better than U2, and KZ2
Why do people insist on putting games like Mass Effect 2 and Alan Wake up there with the likes of God of War 3, Uncharted 2, and Killzone 2? lol, if you have comcast digital cable, go to On Demand, go to G4TV, and watch the E3 videos of GOW3 and U2, then watch Alan Wake, and ME2, it literally looks as if you've descended a generation, especially ME2. if you don't believe me, go watch the videos on your TV Alan wake is starting to get way over hyped. people are starting to cling to the stigma Alan Wake got years ago, but with recent footage, the gameplay looks laughably booring, and the graphics are nothing compared to some of the PS3's best looking games. Lemmings love throwing around the word "Generic" very loosely at every title that comes there way, but just look at Alan Wake lol, that game REEKS of generic. it just looks so average. Its not even about PS3 being "the more powerful machine", its just that factually the 360 has no games that compare to Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, or GOW3, and lemmings are just so desperate for the 360 to have a game in the running for best graphics just to compete with cows on here. It is factual that the 360 doesnt have many high profile upcoming exclusives, and lemmings are just clinging to every one, even going as far as to call Halo: Reach graphics king. im just saying, GOW3 is an automatic AAA title and judging by Uncharted 2s critical acclaim so far, im pretty sure we can agree it is too, but alan wake? come on lemmings, I love the 360, hell im a cow and im still gonna get a 360 for of Splinter Cell: Conviction, and enjoy many 360 exclusives, but i just hate seeing people cling to the game just for the sake of saying "We have one too!". Not turning this into a 360 vs PS3 games catalog debate, but just stop with the unnecesarry hype already, your just setting yourself up for dissapointment. As for Mass Effect 2, I dont know anything about it, apperantly it is decently acclaimed, but stop hyping it for its graphics, GOW3 and U2 actually deserve their graphics hype. you are free to hype ME2 as AAA, as the first ones shown it can achieve it, but right now alan wake is looking like nothing more than an AA title.

I'm not entirely sure if this is a thread about graphics or the quality of the games. Certainly some games can be AAA titles and not the greatest at graphics.
Graphically, so far I haven't seen anything on Mass Effect 2 or Alan Wake that make them look as good as or better than Uncharted 2 or Killzone 2.
Overall, I expect Mass Effect 2 to be AAA and I expect Splinter Cell Conviction to be amazing as well. On the overall issue of what to think of Alan Wake I'm not sure what to expect ATM.
U2 is the only decent looking game GoW3 is still just a simple hack n slash that looks pretty. No one cares about KZ2 anymore and even more so with COD:MW2 coming out.

Halo ODST better then u2 and KZ2? Your gonna get slaughtered. Maybe Reach, but not ODST. I mean ODST is a purchase for me, but only because i havent bought Halo 3. Graphicly it wont even be close. And this is coming from a lemming.How does no one care about Killzone? People play it daily and it's a great game. Also, this is another graphics thread to my knowledge, otherwise the TC would have been eaten alive if he was talking about U2 and GOW3 being the better games.U2 is the only decent looking game GoW3 is still just a simple hack n slash that looks pretty. No one cares about KZ2 anymore and even more so with COD:MW2 coming out.

I haven't seen anything on Halo ODST that really excites me yet. What has you excited about it? Not trying to flame or say it will suck, just wondering where the hype is coming from. Is it just that it's got the Halo name or is there something more to it?
Oh and U2 is overhyped? They are all at the same level graphicaly for the most part. I think the mojority of SWs agree. U2 may be the best looking, but games such as SC:C are right behind, Not sure about Alan wake though, could be better or about the same.bronxxbombersU2 is getting all its hype from game critics and websites, Alan wake and mass effect are getting their graphics hype from lemmings. while mass effect may actually warrant some of its critical hype, the graphics are terribly overrated. Alan wake has done absolutely nothing to warrant the insane amount of hype its getting, the graphics are average, and the gameplay looks laughably booring (running around with a flashlight, woopee!). The game REEKS of generic in every area from gameplay, to graphics, to art direction, especially for a game thats been in development as long as it has. hell there are 360 games that look better, including SC:C like i mentioned. I think people are just holding onto the stigma Alan Wake got years ago. also im fully aware that graphics dont make a game, but it has average looking gameplay as well. GOW3 and U2 actually have excellent graphics and gameplay, so they deserve their hype.
ME2, U2 wii is better the both 2!!!! 'nuff said
Because they'll be better games with better narrative. Nuff said.

And, from the gameplay vids we'vet looks very, very nice graphicly. And to come back from that, you say Alan Wake looks boring, when GoW, you just run around, button mashing, and gorely decapacitating people. And, GoW, really, does not look to be nearly at the same level graphicaly as U2 and Alan Wake. Mass Effect isnt really being hyped for its graphics, not sure where that one came from.
I'm not talking about you specifically (so you can't mod me!!!!) but I think people who think the hype around ME2 is for it's graphics are total and complete clowns. The elements that ME2 is hyped for will blow the identical elements in GOW3 and U2 (I'd ague Alan Wake as well) totally out of the water.

I have watched videos for both uncharted 2 and splinter cell convictions back to back and i hate to break it to you but their practically on the same level, but how both game actually play interests me more.

Having played GOW, many call it the best game on ps2. onto Alan Wake, it looks generic because its art direction looks just like any other 360 game. nothing about it stands out. generic looking character, generic looking setting. and like I said, go look at the videos on your tv,(not your computer) of Alan Wake, and GOW3, and it looks almost like a generational difference (Much more so with Mass Effect 2)

Yeah, you shouldn't challenge the Godking Bioware. Hell, if we are talking about story, Remedy and Bioware are gods. And I am not saying that because ME2 and Alan Wake are not on the PS3, everyone that has been gaming since atleast last gen should know they know how to make great stories.[QUOTE="bronxxbombers"][QUOTE="mrarmyman48"] U2 is getting all its hype from game critics and websites, Alan wake and mass effect are getting their graphics hype from lemmings. while mass effect may actually warrant some of its critical hype, the graphics are terribly overrated.

and i can say with some certainty that almost all of the game critics and websites will dissagree with youQuestion:Why do people insist on putting Alan Wake and ME2 up there with GOW3 and U2?
Answer: Because they will probably turn out to be just as good.
And I can say with some certainty that I will enjoy all of them more than GOW 3.

That was my fault when i was talking about gameplay i meant alan wake, you have never played the game so how do you know the gameplay is generic, also you still have not shown me anything to disprove my point all you have shown me is awards for graphics,multiplayer and best action adventure game on the PS3.First off i never mentioned graphics, Secondly you havent addressed the issue of the games art direction and lastly all those awards do not stop the game from being generic it just means its' a really well done generic game.
[QUOTE="mrarmyman48"][QUOTE="bronxxbombers"] Alan Wake is not generic! The gameplay and plot are very different then anything we've seen before. The point I was making with GoW, is that calling Alan Wake boring is like calling GoW boring. I mean, its not like hteres not a ton of games very similar to GoW.bronxxbombersGOW has carved a deep enough niche in the gaming market as an iconic character. what other game character do you know of who has friggin swords chained to his arms that glow orange when he throws them? the gameplay has differentiated itself enough from all the other games in its genre. a guy with a flashlight isnt exactly that original Okay. Last time buddy. NAME A GAME THTAS JUST LIKE ALAN WAKE! Then you can say its not original. But alas, there are none, and Alan wake gets an A for originality. Games like GoW you say? Prince of Persia, Heavenly Sword, Ghost Rider, The Darksiders(i think thats the title) DMC, Ninja gaiden, must i go on even more? those games are all vastly different than GOW in both art direction, and gameplay. like I said no character has gameplay like kratos, that is the first character to have blades chained to his arms with which he can throw. with your logic mario is just like every other 2d platformer from the SNES (remember, almost all SNES games were 2d platformers) but he differentiated himself enough to create his own niche in the market. halo was not the first dual analog FPS, Timesplitters came first, but again, halo carved enough of its own niche in the market.
[QUOTE="heretrix"]I would never judge a game just from a demo and then brag about how other games are better from review scores.[QUOTE="mrarmyman48"] thats cool, your entitled to your opinion, just know that the majority dissagrees with you. hell i think LBP is boring as hell and just from playing the demo in the stores id rate it a 5.5. doesnt stop it from being the 2nd highest rated exclusive this gen on gamerankings now does it?mrarmyman48
I said I would enjoy all those other games more than GOW3, I don't need review scores or anyone else to validate that.
im not judging the game. i was proving a point that im allowed to have my opinion on a game (as are you) but that I was in the vast minority (as are you). its fine that you dont need a review score to validate your enjoyment of the game, but your just in the minority. the consensus is that GOW is better, and your opinion doesnt change thatyou aren't proving anything. And what is this VAST minority that you speak of? It is pretty much common knowledge that Mass Effect 2 and Alan Wake are 2 games made by Quality developers and will be just as good as Uncharted 2 or GOW 3.THere isn't a vast majority of people that will disagree with this.[QUOTE="bronxxbombers"][QUOTE="mrarmyman48"] GOW has carved a deep enough niche in the gaming market as an iconic character. what other game character do you know of who has friggin swords chained to his arms that glow orange when he throws them? the gameplay has differentiated itself enough from all the other games in its genre. a guy with a flashlight isnt exactly that originalmrarmyman48Okay.

He asked you a pretty simple question: name a game that's like Alan Wake. I have to wonder why you're being so evasive.
