[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]PC gaems have, say it with me now, SETTINGS that can be changed. :oVandalvideo

This would have been a valid point if this was not an official video which would obviously use the highest settings to advertise their games. Try again.

Can't prove what? That's an official video? Did you watch it, or am I talking to a blind defender of a game they've never played?

You guys are taking the review way too seriously. All great games will get poor reviews from a few places. Halo 3, for example, got a 7 from Gamecritics, despite whatcould be called "unanimous AAA status" from "every other" reviewer. Enjoy R&C and forget about the stupid review, just like people love Halo 3 despite what Gamecritics had to say about it. It's not that big of a deal.

You're right, they are all just opinions and should not put us off playing games we like but they do invoke doubt in you that you might prevent you from buying that game.

Did Gamecritics 7/10 stop me (or the masses) from wanting to buy Halo 3? I think not.It's foolish to take reviews seriously and it's foolish to think that a 7.5 from Gamespot will have such a large influence on people that it will hurt sales of the game.

[QUOTE="jasontakhar"]GTA IV. So it would be optimized for the ps3 using the full potential of the Blu-ray disk.Zeliard9

It would also be in 4D.

And run in 1080p at 120 fps.

@ strike 3: So Metroid Prime 3 has outsold Halo 3? Thanks for clearing that up.

Nobody in this thread is comparing Metroid Prime to Halo, they're comparing MP3 to Halo 3. Which scored higher on Gamespot again (Gamespot forums = only Gamespot matters)? Stop bringing up "ZOMG THIRD RANKED GAME OF ALL TIME." It doesn't matter in this thread.

Someone like a video game, they must be a fanboy. Someone said a game was good, they have no idea what a good game is- but I do. Whatever game they like sucks compared to the games I like. This person is talentless and must be employed by the company they are supporting because they are such a fanboy.That's the only logical explanation.

4.5 vs. 9.5

Go PS3!

You honestly think any of those will put a dent in pockets as much as Final Fantasy/Metal Gear/Ratchet and Clank/Gran Turismo/Little BIg Planet will? and have been PROVEN to in the past? Its over dude.

Since when is Little Big Planet a proven franchise?

You don't remember the first game in that series? IT WAS AWESOME.

Another example of cows being so desperate for good titles that they forget how much they contradict themselves.

I find it funny that people like Koalakommande feel that someone has to be "a hardcore WRPG" fan to buy Mass Effect. Or that if someone buys Gears of War 2 (if and when it does come out) they MUST already own the first one. This argument is flawed because of hype. To take a look outside of the video game industry, how about Shrek 2? It broke records for sales (and held them for quite awhile). If you had said "Only people who saw Shrek will see Shrek 2" you would have obviously been mistaken.

The same applies to Gears of War 2. Everyone has seen how successful and awesome the first game is, and this will cause previously skeptic people to buy the second one. Since Mass Effect is the first of its series (if there is to be one) I can't use the same argument, but I think it's obvious that you don't need to be a "hardcore WRPG fan" to buy a good game, as Mass Effect is sure to be. I'm not a "hardcore JRPG fan" but I bought FF7 because I heard how awesome it was, and I loved it.

There are no set in stone rules about who will buy certain games, and how those games will affect console sales. Stop trying to argue about the future just because the PS3 sucks in the present.
