[QUOTE="FF-resevil-halo"]but ive read your posts and you are totally biased against all things sony so why the ef would we care what you say? :) by the way bioshock should prob win goty I beat it in 12-14 hours somwhere in there.

killzone looks incredible if its multiplayer is good quality then it should turn out well

i thought you used to be a big cow, its been awhile since ive posted here. doesn't it feel good to not feel inclined to defend some billion dollar company on a video games forum? hahaha. much better to focus on the games and just have fun with them

[QUOTE="whitetiger3521"]Without gameplay you have no game. whitetiger3521

Yes because interactivity is what makes our medium the way it is but what I am saying is that while gameplay should not go away people need to stop acting like it makes games great by itself... fun gameplay is nice but other elements are far more important...

So you are pretty much saying gameplay should be on the backburner because other elements are more important?

At the end of the day gameplay is just as imporant if not more than all the other aspects of a game. So to say gameplay is overrated is not right. Becauseif the gameplay is crapthen whats the funin it?

Dude fun is overrated. Entertainment maybe but fun no... fun is just satisfying gameplay and that is not good enough to make a game great. There are deeper subjects that games can achieve without fun... entertainment is a better word but still not good enough... only a few games have experimented with the limits of the medium and the concept of "fun" only holds these experiments back... look at super Columbine massacre RPG that is an amazing comment that uses bad gameplay to make a statement... you do not see that every day...

Fun is overrated now? :lol:

You really should just go play some interactive book video games that seems to be right up your alley.

[QUOTE="FlockofSpagheti"][QUOTE="whoisryanmack"]

but really, how can you say a story I like isn't a good one? EVERY story ever created hinges on the same few themes such as good vs. evil, the guy searching for a damsel in distress, etc.. They're all simple.

but my point is not really that God of War has a good story. It's that the story only made me like the game that much more, and I never would have been interested in that story if the game had sucked. If you're ok with suffering through awful gameplay just to see if the protagonist gets the girl, then that's fine. It's what you like. It just doesn't make any sense to me. I'd rather watch a movie that doesn't require me to worry about how the gameplay is.

whoisryanmack

If that is all you know about stories then i do not see why you are here... good vs. evil damsel in distress... try to find some more stories because that is just bs.

Ok...

omgz never thought i'd get it today but i did a couple hours ago!
k gonna tell u why i got it

i live with my brother (attending first year college) and so he decided that he wanted to buy an HDTV, so i go "ur gonna need an HD DVD player" then i thought up of ps3..... have a player that plays HD movies and has awsome games and can do many other things and so forthe

so anyway today i look at the best buy ad and it said that if u buy a ps3 u get 5 free blu ray discs so i go "wow what a great chance to get it now" so i went to the store got it (without any games cause none i wanted were out)
then i brought it home... set it up... now i have to wait for my brother to get an HDTV and some games lol so basically i just have the ps3 doing nothing but whatever.. i have a ps3 and its cool and sexy.....

well thats all

waiting on tekken 6 final fantasy 13 metal gear solid 4 killzone 2

BlueRacer

you gotta get at least one game. id go for resistance

[QUOTE="NickG1215"][QUOTE="Redfingers"][QUOTE="housy2008"]

Saying that uncharted has already "Dethroned" Gears is very cowish of you RedFingers, omg how to say it "SELF PWNED" yet again

Filonus

Saying that it hasn't is very "lemming-ish."

Saying that UT3 and Gears PC do not match up to Gears 360 is the most "lemming-ish" thing I've seen all my life. Read the commentary, watch the vid, read Mark Rein's lips, view the vids and pictures, STHU, please.

[QUOTE="NickG1215"][QUOTE="Filonus"][QUOTE="NickG1215"][QUOTE="housy2008"]

The thing that people forget when making graphic comparisons to GeoW, is that it was released back in november. So of course games are going to be looking better than it a year later, especially when creators get the PS3 figured out.

Oh and Gears got 9.6:)

Filonus

kz1 was extremely over-hyped and didn't deliver. it's funny how quickly people forget these things once there is new eye candy to slobber all over

jesus this is annoying now... hearing all the cricism they received for killzone 1 what the devs are gonna make the same game? i'm not saying this game will be the second coming imofor me that game will be FFXIII, but to think that killzone 2 will flop...is just nonsensically pessismistic.

i'm no where near as hyped for KZ2 as most of the sony camp right now. But people need to remember 1 that the Killzone team has grown i think 4 times or so as big. It's not exactly the same team. 2 kz 1 by their own admission didnt live up to the hype and its biggest draw back was thehardware it was on.Apparently they aimedto high for certain things and didnt just make a solid shooter. I don't think any shooter on ps2 could have equalled Halo. This is 07 and things have changed.

its the truth like it or not. guerrilla has yet to prove themselves as game makers. if i come off as pessimistic then thats your opinion, i think of it as being realistic. sure kz2 looks amazing, but until the final copy has been played and reviewed i think it'd be better off being forgotten for the moment. games like uncharted and ratchet come from two great development studios that truly know their craft, these are the games that deserve hype, not kz2

no its not the truth its your opinion. Guerilla has been VASTLY augumented.what your saying IS pessimistic. Killzone 2 could flop but to compare its development to the first game which was plagued by development problems and weak hardware is very stupid. More and more videos are gonna be released up until release; i think today harrison said its gonna be at TGS and Leipzig. Reporters will probably have a chance to test it out and give us their opinions.

In addition no one on this board should have to wait for it to come out F&*K that. You could apply that to any damn game.Hell capcom had a fantastic track record. Onimusha 3 and 4 sucked.DMC3 sucked. Many people say that quake4 sucked.If they wanna hype it let em hype it. That's what these boards, mags and blogs on gaming are about.

i also wouldn't consider these boards to be the source of any sort of reliable information whatsoever.

augumented as in the team has grown so comparing it to the killzone1 team fails riduculously. i dont think you know what augument means. The KILLZONE 1 team are to blame for killzone 1's faults. that team from around 40 or so is now at about 140. end that point there.

Dmc 3 was not great. It might have played better than dmc 2 but that does not make it a great game at all. Ignoring that. Quake 4 was apparently a failure to a lot of people. i haven't really played it, but i was trying to make a point. "talentled trustworthy" devs can make shoddy mistakes.You were saying because a guerilla screwed up kz1 why hype kz2. Well Square-enix made FFX and they also made dirge of cerberus. Konami made silent hill 1 and 2 but they also made 4; which apparently is the weakest? i'm not a fan of the franchise so i dont particularly care

[QUOTE="NickG1215"]it's your money. just fyi they have apparently fixed some crucial elements the the BR player and are discontinuing the emotion engine chip inside and going for software in the future. im not sure if you really care about something like that, but i know that i wouldn't want to throw down 500 bones when they fixed some bugs and are reworking the BC setup for future models. just my 2 cents, it probably won't matter though in the end.Kalias

actually no. the bc is now going to be software emulation. right now the 60 gig is using the emotion engine which is nearly 100percent compatible with your ps2 and ps1 library. so no. any bugs are updated through the firmware updates.
