"The Xbox 720 reportedly stops functioning if an Internet connection drops for three minutes." So, if you have a crap internet, you're screwed. Yeah, not everyone can afford top notch internet, Microsoft.
I hope the rumours about requiring internet to work are false, it would be the biggest mistake they have made. Also, I hope that if the release the Kinect, it better be a good version, as in, it works how it's supposed to.
@hellangel_boy I agree.The story in the series seems to be starting to grow a bit stale, as though they are dragging out the story as much as possible. Which I'm sure they are doing. I've not got AC3 yet because I'm waiting for the price to drop more but I have heard about the story being nothing compared to the last few. I think I will get it eventually and probably all the rest too unless it gets really bad, I like to know what happened and just reading about it wouldn't be enough. The next one, Black Flag, does look really interesting to me so I'm more hopeful for that than I was for AC3.
If they start releasing the same series year after year it will suffer the same as call of duty. It will grow stale and despite the good story that they have now, they'll run out of ideas eventually and the games would just start being obvious filler mush that doesn't really compare to the previous games.
"Mallat explained that as long as each new entry is a quality product, gamers will continue to come back every year for more." This is true and as long as they can produce that quality product gamers will still be there but if the product is coming out every year it will not get the time and attention it deserves and will result in boring games.
Although, whether this happens or not people will still buy the game and they will make a **** ton of money which is, of course, what they really care about.
@Elann2008 I've been wanting that for a long time. Love the movies. I really wish that there would be some better Dinosaur games and movies lately. Maybe a Dinosaur RPG where you're on an island or something, a bit like the Rook Islands from Far Cry 3 but with dino's running around. Would be awesome.
@furrynic @Joutja Ah, now I understand you. Yeah, I suppose people were expecting higher due to the previous games and that the score of 7.5 would be low for the series. I still disagree that it's a low score altogether. A bit disappointing for the fans but in my opinion it still means it's a fairly decent game.
My main point before was just pointing out that I thought uproars about scores being lower than expected are a bit silly because it's just a score by someone else. It could be very different with other people, as people have mentioned with IGN. I wasn't adding to the discussions about why gears should get a lower score, I've not played this new one and I probably won't till it gets cheaper anyway, I rarely get games on release.
