@Codester_41 Totally agreed. Almost embarrassing that this "Story So Far" link exists in the highlighted crawl. This came could have been easily summed up in one video -- with commentary. Part one of five? Really?
I loved this game. However, if I had never played it but was considering to do so, this hack-job-of-a-recap, "Part One" story summary just killed my desire to load up this shooter
No specific comments about the game as of yet ... primarily because it's the only Halo franchise game I don't yet have. Times are tough when the holidays come rolling in, you know what I mean?
However, I gotta say that this reviewer is awesome. Just as sharp witted as Watters. Well reviewed, Sir, well reviewed!
Who are these fools? Have they ever seen any of the Batman movies other than the 1960's-era Adam West version? If you're going to broadcast any type of feature entertainment story (thank God these guys don't work on any hard-news pieces), at least know what the hell you're talking about -- no matter what you happen to be talking about.
A very interesting bit of feature reporting. Having had a reconstructive knee surgery after dropping approx. 30 feet during a skiing outing (I was good, but not good enough to take that jump haha), I have a donor's ACL attached within my knee via a titanium pin. Since it's in the functional joint of my knee, I suppose I'm a cyborg LOL. All kidding aside, though, I'm still quite "real" but, on moral and ethical principles (and do not confuse that with religious beliefs -- religion plays no part in viewpoint) I am opposed to by-and-large cybernetic entities. Don't get me wrong, if medically necessary (loss of a limb, blindness, deafness, catastrophic organ failure, etc.), I find it extremely difficult to not support such implants or augmentations. However, should the augmentations ever allow us to be more than human, especially in regards to performance/function/intelligence??? I don't believe so, and I sincerely hope that that does not happen. Will it happen, though? Quite likely ... but not in my lifetime, as relatively young as I may be. And, I am fully aware that much of what I have written above is, in itself, a mishmash of contradictions. And, it's because of these inherent contradictions that the all questions regarding the ethics of such cybernetic enhancements and one’s own humanity, stems from. Just how much humanity can be lost before one is no longer truly human? The soul (oops, here we go ... religion, no matter what creed, has just crept into my diatribe) is lost at what point? Well, enough of the human ramblings from one who studied English literature and aspects of the human condition while he attended college. Oh yeah, by the way, I wear contact lenses.
So says a corporate senior executive who's company's only ability to flourish relies upon purely digital transmission transactions of an intangible product -- yes, it's still a product, albeit a service-oriented one.
It's in his best interest, as well of that of Codemasters, to make such a statement.
Consoles will remain around for some time, especially as console-specific apps. continue to flourish. Also, people like the feeling of having something tangible, something physical, to call their own -- both in regards to consoles as well as games.
Digital will continue to grow. However, will it ever fully replace a product -- a console? I think not. Digital is only on half of the equation.
Sounds sweet. However, I really would have thought that it would have gotten a 720p screen given the graphics capabilities of the HD graphics engine. HDMI should have been a given, though. Nonetheless, sounds like a solid beast, and these features were most likely left out to keep it more affordable ... if one truly can call a $300 hand-held gaming system an affordable device in this economy.
Getting both, and both for the Xbox 360. As far as paying for MW3's Elite subscription, though -- Activision can go to hell! I already pay $60/year for Xbox Live and $50/year for Playstation Plus. Enough with all the extra costs after one has purchased the game! Did I hear more pay-for DLC is on the way, too?!
