Now that's funny, because I feel this is a pretty good game overall, definitely deserves at least an 8 in my books. Much, much better than the original version from what I heard. Not even going to bother getting the original version to compare either, as I heard it was truly a broken game.
Eh, I don't even have a 360 anymore, so this doesn't affect me in any way, shape, or form. I just didn't see the point in having a system that has virtually zero exclusives to call it's own anymore, nothing on the horizon excited me in the slightest and most of the games I can get on the PS3 and Wii U (which I will own) anyway. So what's the point?
@Sonic_fan21xx I am sure in due time, like Ninja Gaiden 3, there will be an enhanced Wii U edition of DoA5, of late Nintendo seems to be buddy-buddy with TK.
@zequex well said, I am sure that in due time a Far Cry and Resident Evil game will end up on the Wii U. Or they'll make enhanced versions of the games for the Wii U sometime down the line. I am willing to bet within a year's time, Resident Evil 6, Dead or Alive 5, and FarCry 3 will all end up on the Wii U.
Here's the funny thing, people are almost constantly trying to say that Nintendo is doomed, recall the 3DS bashing before the Vita actually came out in Japan? Look at how the Vita is doing now, and look at the sales of the 3DS. 'Nuff said. It all comes down to price, and if I would have to blow 500 bucks on a console again? No thanks, I'll wait a few years before I get a PS4 or a 720, especially if they continue pushing for an all DDL future. The day any console developer goes all DDL only, is the day they lose any sales from me, period. As for Sony with their plans? They already lost a Vita sale. Mine. I won't be getting one. And if Microsoft goes all digital and removes any physical media? Same thing, forget it.
I could put one of these badboys on layaway at my local Sears if I desired, but I am gonna wait until they come out with the second incarnation of it beforehand. I'll probably end up getting a couple games after launch, as I like to get games before I get the system so I have something to play.
@TheApd_Returns, I beg to differ over Android being "inferior" to iOS. I have plenty of applications that I use on my HTC EVO almost day in and day out. Customization is a major must for me, I hate the fact that whenever you get an Apple product that isn't an Apple computer, you're stuck with what you have, and that's the end of it. Android still has tons of apps, and graphically from what I've seen, alot of the games are on par with iOS, N.O.V.A. runs smoothly on my EVO, nary a thing of slowdown. I completely disagree about customization being purely "aesthetic" as you put it, it goes beyond the software to the hardware. Being able to add memory via a microSD card or a standard SD card, is certainly NOT a bad thing. The fact that I could switch out my microSD card for one that is 32 gig is not a bad thing at all. With Apple, you're stuck with what you have, and that's it. Plus, if your battery dies, and you replace it yourself? Guess what, warranty voided. At least it's alot more easily done on most other smartphones, and there are even batteries that extend that life, makes your point completely moot. If Apple would just allow you to much more easily replace the batteries, and upgrade your memory via flash for their smartphones, and not be ridiculously proprietary and tied to ONE provider that sucks so much ass (around my neck of the woods, reception on AT&T's lines is a joke) then yes, I'd absolutely go get an iPhone no questions asked.
Okay, Android is the weakest you say? Yeah right! I have an HTC EVO 4G with Sprint, and I couldn't be happier with the thing. To me it's quite comparable to the iPhone and even has some advantages over it. Including the ability to exchange out the flash memory card and upgrade it to 32 Gigs, possibly more in the future with an update, who knows. The scalability in this thing is unmatched so far. N.O.V.A. which is also on the iOS, looks quite comparable and runs very smoothly too. It also does a great job of running Angry Birds, the update MUCH improved the frame rate for me. It helps that the firmware released seems to stabilize alot of the issues that were there before. My question is though, how is it purportedly lagging behind WM7 when WM7 was JUST released a few months ago? Seriously, what the hell I says, that just reeks of fish. While I certainly will consent that it isn't up to par with iOS yet, and probably won't be for a while, Android is a fantastic OS in and of itself, and the scalability of the hardware and software puts it over the edge for a guy like me who likes flexibility. iOS is stuck to one device, and while it's rock solid, the static-ness of being forced to one handset is a massive turn-off, especially when you can't add or subtract memory as needed. You're stuck with what you get, and that's it.
As an owner of both a 360 and PS3, I honestly feel the differences in graphics are miniscule with multi-plats for the most part, however, the PS3 really has come into it's own in terms of graphical capabilities, with some exclusives that look downright amazing, I can honestly say I am glad I own both systems, and get the chance to play the exclusives, and go with the multi-plat that is the better version to get, I get the feeling the PS3 version of Dragon Age will stabilize, and eventually have the smoothness and stability of the 360 version, along with the much superior textures that it's own version already has. Making it the version to get, I am gonna wait for a while though before I consider getting it. Don't want to blow money on expansion packs, would rather wait for the Game of the Year Edition.
