I agree with you Kimbo. All my friends are boycotting it, and i find it incredibly stupid. I know they will buy it, there just following the crowd. COD4 is still around £30 in stores after 2 years(?) after release. They know people will buy it, so they increase the price. It's business baby. When it comes down to it, no game company care about the people, only about the money in there pocket (although i admit some take it to an extreme i.e. Microsoft)

I still dont understand why nobody is pointing fingers at Nintendo when it comes to leeching off our pockets. The only difference between Microsoft's theft and Nintendo's theft is the people who they are ripping off. Its as simple as that.
Most probably because the generalisation of Wii buyers are parents buying for there children. Like most parents, they have absolutely no clue what is a good deal with video games, so the fact their paying for a last gen console with motion controls is irrelevant when there kids are moaning and nagging at them to buy the next instalment of Wii play. Xbox 360 owners are normally more adult, so know that they are getting ripped off...this is my opinion of course, do not take it as a fact.

I can get a good idea of how I would like the game just by looking at gameplay footage. When I look at someone else playing, I can imagine myself playing the game and get a good idea of how it would feel if I was controlling the character. My prediction was spot on for Batman AA: it wasn't very good, too linear with combat that was repetitive, unsatisfying button mashing.

Yeah i gave the example of Batman: AA. The gameplay trailer was exactly how i thought the demo played (which was brilliant i am so hyped for that game).
You can but you should not let it hold too much weight. Its truly insane how different something feels when you actually play it yourself. Also, if the person playing in the vid isn't skilled or proficient then all it leads to is a game looking less impressive than it actually is. Take a look at Muramasa the demon blade or Vagrant story for instance.

My friend pretty much said exactly what you said. Except he wouldn't acknowledge the fact that you can a judge a game a little. At all. I know its hard to show the feel of a game but imo you adjust to the feel for the game. Just how you adjust to any new game.
I'm not a fed up Xbox 360 owner. Xbox is my primary console, i am an extremely happy xbox 360 owner :) I have had my Elite since 2007. No problems at all. Its probably because i look after my xbox 360, people dont understand how much care it needs ;)
