People stop being fanboys for one second. I believe anyone whos played PD64 and PDZ can see why its such a bad game. Theres no reason the why 64 version is superior to the 360 one. It doesnt make sense.

I am and have always thought GS was biased towards 360 ever since they gave it AAA. I mean that review made me feel warranted in my purchase....up untill I played the game that is.

I bought a xbox 1 because of PD. When it was delayed I got a 360 because PDZ.

Im a huge PD fan, I still have it for N64. PDzero was a disgrace. Rare changed it to make it more approchable to the Japanese market. That really pissed me off. Joanna has a anime look which is lame.

The game sucks bad. Its a 6.5. Definately a horrible game. The only good thing it has is textures. The shooting feels like a chore rather than fun. And it really pisses me off because I have the limited edition.

Hopefully the next one will return to its roots.

Super Smash Bros for me.

After seeing the horrible (3D) art design SF is going for Im not excited anymore. Personally SFIV should have been just like Third Strike. Im pretty sure capcom is ruining their crowning franchise.

[QUOTE="-RPGamer-"]

I find it rather amusing Gonzo blows 1mill an episode for this series. Nothing I've seen makes me think it's work it in all honesty. Avenge father get headband... stop the presses let's blow a mill per episode on this ground breaking direction.

The problem I have with it is that it's just far too unimaginative. I mean yes I know someone is going to quote this and say "Are you kidding they mix future and modern tech. in a Samurai setting. But when I say this I'm referring more so to the stylle and structure. There is a reason why the West has such a hard time making appealing action cartoons for teens and adults while Japan does it effortlessly. This is because Japan understands what animation can do better then what live-action can do and mostly focus's on that. This involves art-stylle, plot, emotion, tone, mood, etc. What the West tends to do is just simply think of an idea for a cool action film an make it into a cartoon (and yes before you say I am aware that this show is from Japan). If you don't understand me then think of it this way. Think of The Simpsons or Family Guy, these are very funny shows. Now take all the scenes from those shows and replace it with live-action real life characters yet keep the jokes, puns, mood, and tone the same.......yeah it's stupid and doesn't make sense. This is pretty much my gripe with Afro Samurai it misses the mark of what makes anime....well anime and when it does try it ends up feeling like a Saturday morning cartoon more so then a show for adults.

Thank you for wasting 1 minute of my life because that was one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Every anime, or cartoon basically can be simplified. Naruto is trying to bring back Sasuke. Fullmetal is trying to find the philosophers stone. Deathnote is simply about power corrupting. Avatar (??) is trying to save the world. And lord knows how many animes/cartoons where the protagonist is trying to save the world (ugh).

Its the encounters, the characters, and the reactions in between that, that make a story a good story, NOT per se the main summary. Becuase like I said ANY story can be over simplified. And while Afro Samurai may be simplicity at its best it still has a few branching interesting tales. (his best friend he had to kill...sounds like most animes out there too...)

Also the animation is TOP NOTCH. Better than most out there. Better than Death Note, Naruto, Bleach, Fullmetal....perhaps even champloo.

Its seems most people dont like afro samurai simply because they are not used to a black protagonist, let alone in an anime. I guarantee if this cartoon was exactly the same, sans a black dude... then people would be raving how amazing the fighting, animation and production values the cartoon had.

The only negative that I could see from the cartoon was its shortness and SLJ doing TWO voices.

Meh. It was alright. It didnt feel as fun as KOTOR did though. I beat it with only about 16 hours. I did like 5 or 6 sidequest at most.

The main problem for me was the load times. THEY WERE EVERYWHERE! Even in your own ship, you had to take a 10 minute elevator ride (while it secretly loads) just to go to the lower deck. Lame.

I really didnt mind the slow loading textures though, not a big deal as long as Im playing.....

I did however miss the fact that (like in KOTOR) I could do more fiendish things. I only got a few opportunities to do evil acts. In Kotor they were EVERYWHERE! It will utterly suprise me to see a high level Renagade.

Also, how can you tout having a 40+ hour game if the character walks as slow as a snail and runs into enormous loading times EVERYWHERE? Mini-games are bound to be 40+ hours if they use the same crappy mechanics as Mass Effect! Even the planets are pointlessly large. Theres like 3-4 things on a planet to explore and most of your time is spent driving from one part of the planet to get to the "anomaly" or "debris" and only about 5 minutes of fighting.

Perhaps the saddest thing is when you press A to run (excluding while in combat) the camera just zooms in close ala RE4 and tries to trick you into thinking you're actually going faster. BLAH I SAY! BLAH!

That irks me. That irks me real bad. I give the game an 8.0

[QUOTE="II-FBIsniper-II"][QUOTE="Erkidu"][QUOTE="Gunraidan"]

[QUOTE="HolyHandGrenad3"]What are all these Wii owners playing? This is the best game for the system, it is a must have.Erkidu

It's the best first week selling game on the system of all-time and the best selling mario premiere week of all-time....

Seriously people a game doesn't have to sell as much as Halo to be considered "great".

Exactly. Casual games will always outsell hardcore games - but that doesn't make them better.

What casual 360 or PS3 game has outsold a hardcore game?

Halo is casual. And this is coming from someone that owns and loves Halo 1, 2 and 3.

I agree. I own all of em. And its about as casual as a game can be. Thats not really a bad thing, buts its def. not a good thing.

I'm a gamer.

The sales matter less to me than the content.

Even though I dislike the PS3....the game Uncharted is amazing.

So why should I care about these sales fellow Lem? We aren't Sheep...lets not tred this path we actually ENJOY games...not sales.
