Nintendo is a business, so they are first and foremost interested in the accumulation of wealth. They saw what happened with the last generation in which they fought in the technological battle, and lost out, despite being close to the most powerful console on the market. To avoid such losses this time, they decided to pursue a different business strategy, aiming for new markets, saving money by not making a 500 dollar system, which is pretty much unavoidable if you want the next-gen edge, etc.

Clearly so far it has worked.

In my opinion, they didn't go for HD gaming because they didn't need to. The graphics during the last gen were really enough by a lot of peoples' standards (you can't argue with sales), myself included. I just don't need hyper realistic graphics, although I do appreciate them. In particular, Assassin's Creed I was concerned about missing out on, but thats why I have a PC.

[QUOTE="Xerlaoth"]People who think the only games worth playing are those reviewed 8 or higher need to realize anything above a six is usually fun. And maybe check their grades in school, what if your parents kicked you out for anything below a B lol.the_offical_jim

that's my point, your definition of feces is a bit high. for a game to be really that bad, scores need to be 5.5 or below, anything higher and its just a matter of "you can find better games", not "this game is unplayably bad".

See, if you had a choice between no game and a game that scored a 7, you'd love the 7 game. just not when your dollars could be going toward an "8+" game, but the mainstream games that get those scores most often don't fulfill everones needs all the time

shotgun, i like shotguns in any game they are decent in. so not CoD games, lol

oh and sniper rifle. and i hate the machine gun, TMP thing, i never even kept it (waste of precious egg-space imo)

This is just publicity, I think the game will sell well. You gotta remember, its also coming out for the system with the largest install base ever, ps2. plenty of adults have that system to buy the game on.

Also, the rockstar name sells games to an extent, that helps. don't be worried about the game's future. and the 16 year olds who want it, they usually find ways to get it, i think

I've disagreed with every gamespot review for such a long time, i just don't understand why they're so picky. oh well..

that said, the controls do take some getting used to, but once you get the feel for them the game is fun, and very in-depth. and if you like the world of the movie, tony himself is very well done. that alone is worth playing it imo.
