I bought District 9 on blu ray, so i got to play the God of War 3 demo today. GOW3 has some more details in the graphics and lighting, but i cant say that is a good thing because the picture seemed muddy and dark. I actually like the way the older games look better than the new one...they seem cleaner and more colorful. But even if the new game ends up looking better than the demo, i really hope they add some new game play elements because it is a little too much like the old game...nothing is fresh about it. Its like they just just took the easy road followig the exact same formula. With everyone copying the GOW formula to the tee lately, it would be nice if Sony raised the bar again like they did with the original. Were you happy with what the demo showed?

God of War 2 barely changed anything in comparison to GoW1, yet it was an even better experience than the first. I think it will be the same case here. As for games copying GoW, if they plan to add new elements to the game they'd better do it discreetly. Not only does the Dante's Inferno demo copy just about EVERY element from GoW, it even has enemies that ride larger beat enemies, a new element introduced in one of the GoW3 demos. Devs are even copying elements of the series that are brand new. Which is another reason why even if Dante's Inferno turns out to be good, I probably won't buy it, just on principle. I'll stick to GoW3.
Demon's Souls is definitely a great game, but it will not appeal to a large general audience due to the hardcore nature of the game. Good news for Atlus because their game will get more publicity and sales, probably. Bad news for the casual or semi-casual gamers who pick it up thinking it'll be a cakewalk.
Resident Evil 5. It was ok, but... it was like RE4 in a new setting with better graphics, with an antiquated control scheme. I had little motivation to beat the game other than to get it out of the way. FEAR 2 wasn't great either... but I got it on clearance for 10 bucks, so I felt it was worth about that much :p
It's doable. MW2 took me 3 days, but I played on veteran and had school each day. The first time I played MGS4 it probably took me 2-3 days on hard, played over the summer of 2008 for hours on end each day haha
I didn't skip it. It was part of the campaign and intended to be played. I shot some of them, in fact I thought if you didn't pull the trigger the terrorists would be on to you and you would fail haha. I think the scene gets across the point it intends to: it makes you feel bad when you do it.
I mean such exclusives such as LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, and perhaps future games. These games deserve to sell more than what they get. Especially Killzone (looks cool) and Uncharted (looks great).

I thik a lot of people here have the games you mention... I have all of them and lots more. If you're going to talk underrated PS3 exclusives, don't leave out Valkyria Chronicles and Demon's Souls, possibly the 2 most underrated games on the PS3, considering that they are both masterpieces in their own right.
That's just what happens when you make such a huge WRPG. Fallout 3 has many of the same bugs Oblivion has, which makes even more sense considering they both use the same engine. Dragon Age also has quite a few bugs and glitches, some of them similar to Oblivion. It sucks, but games still have a long way to go.
