That's the only way to get a developers attention. They are making the game to make money, and if enough people cancel their pre-orders, then the company needs to make changes in order to obtain their primary goal, e.g. make more money.

I can imagine the gnashing of teeth and return of games when PS3 users get hopelessly owned, Keyboard and mouse support isn't like PC support your using generic drivers so those fancy dpi settings, high accuracy and such on that pc mouse? yep only basics are supported on the ps3 its not like you can plug in a 24 button mouse and all the buttons work on the ps3.

your getting generic usb drivers even if you use a mouse and keyboard high precision mice users on the PC will be owning you.

you're quite the person, putting a spin on PS3 owners getting more features as a bad thing. You don't know the first thing about Counter Strike. The best players or "pros" as they're called, commonly use a 600 dpi microsoft intellimouse. No fancy drivers.

While I do like JRPGs, no console manufacturer should center their console around one genre. Sony's got a good balance, where as Microsoft loves their shooters and Nintendo their platformers.

CGI cutscenes. Why do Developers bother with showing them? No one is going to get hyped by them...either show gameplay or show nothing. Every single trailer seems to just be showing fancy looking CGI, yet we have no idea what it will play like. Haven't they learned from E3 05 with Sony's BS?

GEEEZUS!

I'd be highly surprised if it were AAA as well. The reviews are pretty mixed. I'll be getting it down the line but the GamePro review swayed me from a day 1 purchase.

I honestly think that people choose to play games on their TV in a living room, instead of on a PC, for the same reason why they prefer to watch movies on their TV, instead of on a PC. The world will never entirely switch from consoles to the PC for the same reason why the world isnt going to give up watching movies on the TV so that they can watch them on their PC. True, millions of people watch movies on their PCs, but it will never phase out TVs, because of the experience they offer. I think the same thing applies to consoles. You are never going to have a world where nobody plays games on their TVs and youre not going to have a world where nobody watches movies on their TVs.

Is this the first RPG you've ever played ? If so you're in for a lot of "locked door" surprisies.

I just went back and played Modern Warfare 2 recently and to be honest, it wasn't that bad. It had been almost a year since I touched the game, I had no expectations and rather enjoyed it. It claims to have this "cinematic experience" you speak of, and I believe it made it quite enjoyable.

So why are games trying to be like movies ? Because it makes the game entertaining ? Because it gets them to sell ? There doesn't seem to a downside to it on the developers end if they pull it off. Take your pick.
