While we don't know for sure, if there's lag involved, it'll ruin the game. Sadly, a lot of fighters are hit by this problem...

Each to their own I suppose....

I however have to thank Nintendogs, it got my girlfriend into gaming along with the Pink DSL.

Because unless it got her into playing the types of games a real gamer would play (Half-Life, MGS, GTA, Zelda, etc.), then it's the latter. Which in my opinion, is the equivalent of fiddling around with minesweeper on your computer every other week.

The only thing I really didn't like about Doom 3 was that they insisted on calling it a Doom game. I guess it has the marine and hellspawn in common, but the gameplay was hugely different.

Serious Sam was a better Doom sequel than Doom 3. Having said that, Doom 3 was still fun, if tiresome in spots due to the incessant use of imps spawning in behind you and the need to flip back and forth between flashlight and gun. The shotgun wasn't terribly satisfying either, which is never a good sign (a game that has a wimpy shotgun is almost automatically garbage).

Still a pretty game in 1920x1200, though it is annoying that you have to dig through ini files to hack widescreen. And I think someone compared Doom 3's graphics to Far Cry's indoor levels...no. Just no. :P

Agreed. As far as gameplay goes, Serious Sam pays MUCH better homage to the original Doom games than Doom 3 could ever hope to.

It was still virtually the same in most ways though. Just run and gun, shoot first gameplay. In fact, most of the complaints you'll hear about Doom 3 are about it's archaic gameplay. It's a shooter in the purest sense just like Doom was. Not an action/adventure game that just so happens to be in the first person viewpoint, like most other "shooters" these days.

Ya I thought my head was going to explode back when GTA4 was still set for 2007. Thankfully, a lot has been pushed back since then.

Although I suppose you can't really have too much of a good thing. All this means is that when the drought comes along, I'll have a ton of AAA and AA titles to pick up at discount prices.

Granted, I've had some fun with games that scored in the 7s here in the past. I really enjoyed Crackdown. Although I can see why it scored what it did here. I imagine the case will be the same once I've played Ratchet. Have some fun with it but ultimately forgettable and not really worthy of the outstanding score some want to believe it is worth.

I don't really follow your logic. By your own admission you assume the GS review to be correct and therefore you've rendered judgment even before playing the game. That's a self-fulfilling prophecy, yes?

I'd be wary of giving any site or magazine that much leverage in regards to your gaming decisions. This site is a good resource for many things, reviews included, but GS, like every other site and magazine on the planet, has released some piss poor reviews.

And you should actually play a game like the new R&C before using adjectives like "forgettable" to describe it.

I've already mentioned that I've still had a lot of fun with games like Crackdown that did'nt even receive an 8 here, so my preconceptions regarding Tools of Destruction do not necessarily mean I think it will have no redeeming qualities. I just don't think it's any sort of "savior" or especially not a game of the year contender. Which, judging by the backlash, is what everyone was expecting or at least hoping it would be.

As for your last post, I agree with every word. The part about the score not affecting too many people does'nt really apply to me though, because had GS scored it a 9 or above, I would likely be only 2 or 3 more games away from breaking down and purchasing a PS3.

Don't worry, I'm not criticizing you guys. Just be careful because the mods tend to be very strict about heated arguments as I have unfortunately found out in the past :cry:

Anyways, I caught rragnarr's post on the matter in the "other" forums. So short and to the point that I nearly spat out my drink :lol:

[QUOTE="GodModeEnabled"]Doom 3 rox my sox, and you get +3 cool points for agreeing with me. Excellent graphics, immersion and horror. I loved the atmosphere and level of tension and fear the game provided.sonicare

I recommend it to anyone (PC version).

why would you wait? the PC version came out long before the console version. Were you waiting on a PC that could run it?
