ME is one of the defining games of the decade, so those SOny fans have to CLING to whatever negative piece of news they can regarding it, even if it is questionable, at best.Verge_6

I think it's flattering that they talk more about 360 games than the games on their own platform... all 3 of them, anyway.

I have and it's unfortunatley true what theyr'e saying. kingyotoX

Yet in your signature you're playing everything but an Xbox360 ? Right.

Because for the past fortnight there has been Mass Damage Control.

The pinnacle of this are the endless streams of Cows citing 1up as the WHO'S WHO of videogaming, claiming that Mass Effect is "12 hours long". Anyone who is playing the game would know instantly that this is a load of rubbish.

[QUOTE="Verge_6"]

...You aren't making ANY sense.

King_of_Sorrow

Well, 1up said it took 12 hours to beat? Are you saying they didn't or are you saying they did, but didn't get the full experience of the game?

If 1up gave Uncharted 3.5/10 you wouldn't be quoting them endlessly now, would you :roll:

If that's how 1up plays games, then I'd rather not take notice of their reviews.

It seems that all the most popular games reviewed and listed on this website are listed as either being on the XBOX platform, Wii, or PC even if they exist on the PS3. Often you would have to search the PS3 database to see if they are even offered on the PS3, and in many instances they are available but seemed to be ignored. Why is it this way?

For example, the VERY popular "Orange Box" which has been out for a couple of months on other platforms and is coming to the PS3 on 12/11 isn't even listed in the coming soon list for the PS3 while a few going out as far as the second quarter of 2008 are shown. Could it be that no one is interested in it on the PS3? Do the PS3 titles not deserve equal time and space on this website? Is the PS3 less capable, less entertaining?

Clearly there are more XBOX systems out in the hands of gamers as they had a headstart in getting their next gen console out into the marketplace, but does that mean that more than a year later the PS3 can be ignored as a platform of worth?

Perhaps this is the fault of Sony for losing a grip on it's exclusive titles? Perhaps the flow of games is not as strong on the PS3 more than a year after it's release due to Sony's lack of attention at the developer level?

Tell me PS3 owners, am I alone in my perspective or is there some validity to my rant? Is there a lack of PS3 showing? If so who is to blame?

BTW, I posted this exact question in the PS3 section of this forum and it was locked by moderators, and followed by a warning that it belonged in this system wars section...how long before they close it here I wonder? If this posting is locked my subscription will certainly not be renewed...

I left some of the (FUN) sidequests half-way through for later because I was eager to get to the galaxy, like I said, there is still much to do there that I have yet to complete, and I will be going back next time I boot up the 360. You see ? Mass Effect gives you many, many choices outside of the conversation system.

Please, instead of dissing a great game that you haven't even played, you owe it to yourself to save up the pocket money that mother and father give you each week and putting it towards a 360, so you can enjoy the game too.

I swear to God, if this game was on the PS3 there'd be endless Bovine threads about it being the Secong Comming of Jesus :roll:

King_of_Sorrow

Pocket change from mommy and daddy? Well, I hate to debate with someone who doesn't have the respect for others. My lastresponse to you.I didn't likeKOTOR, so Mass Effect doesn't appeal to me either. I swear to God, if this game was made by Sony there'd be endless Bovine threads about it being the Anti-Christ.

I thought KOTOR was aboslute RUBBISH, got about 2 hours into it and gave it to a friend - didn't help that I hate Star Wars. Yet here I am enjoying the hell out of Mass Effect, like I said, you owe it to yourself to give it a go, it's fantastic

JUST got off of the Citadel after eight hours of play. I guess there's onlytwo planets or so before I beat the game.

Seriously folks, this just confirms that 1up is just a massive joke.

King_of_Sorrow

QFT.

I only left the Citadel after 4 hours because I wanted to explore the galaxy! There's still much I've yet to do on there!

I can't believe people (mostly Cows, naturally) actually believe an RPG of this magnitude would only be 12 hours long... hilarious.

DID YOU SEE IT!!! He left the Citadel in 8 you left it in 4. That's a 4 hour gap there. Whoses to say you could have left it in 2?

Because he didn't do every side-quest? See this part of his post? Seriously, stop. It's just getting sad.

Isn't the whole point of saying it's 12 hours from 1up was not doing the side quests? Now how's is that sad?

You'd have to be incredibly stupid to pay ($100.00 here) to speed run through a game like Mass Effect and miss out on 3 quarters of the experience. Without continuous level grinding and continuous diversions of the FF series, how long would those games be ? Probably about 10 hours, 4 of those cut-scenes.

The graphics are amazing on PGR4, but when GT5 comes out, your eyes will pop out of your head.

Vorserider2

Have you noticed that nobody but Cows actually care about GT5 ?

If graphics are the only thing worth talking endlessly about a racing sim then it isn't really worth playing.
