I don't like DLC with every game I play. if an item is free and I play that game I'll get it but if I don't play a game that often regardless of if it's free I won't touch it. I don't like the trend of reserving a game and either having content [weapons, armor or characters] on day one, it's tacky but if the developer is trying to entice people to buy their game with a freebee at launch what's the harm? seriously, what's the harm in that?? My issue is how every major retailer gets special content WTF, just throw it all in one pack and be done with it. I think if people are going to complain about Mafia II and it's "adding the rest of the game later" I think I should do the same to GTA's episodes after all they released the rest of GTA IV later didn't they?? I don't like paying $60.00 for games only to be gouged later by pathetic DLC [Mass Effect 2] I was very lucky to have bought Fallout 3 GOTY and it's DLC was awesome.
In my eyes Avatar was a major success not because of 3D but because of it's story and what the film was trying to say. I saw it in 2D and I still thought it was great. I have never forked over any extra credits to see a film in 3D when I could spend less to see the same thing unhindered. I don't need objects flying out of the screen or guys with pitchforks in their backs moving so that the handle is directly sticking out of the screen [Jason 3] I don't need to see Indy ride the mine cart in Temple Of Doom in 3D, I was just fine in normal headache free vision.
The water on Reach looks pretty, all of the outdoor locales look wonderful. Reach was a pretty planet indeed. Mostly in campaign I'm just moving forward and I do take not of some things like how the squad moves or how a building interior is set up, in previous games most of the interiors all looked good but they never looked that disturbed or lived in but with Reach all the places you go to look like they should......like a wrecking crew came through and started killing people and smashing the place up nice......
Sony's PS3 may be the only system pushing 3D tech but until the cost of the tech comes down and we can eliminate the glasses I don't see it going beyond a test bed. Even when and if it becomes successful I'll never be sold on it because I see it as a crutch and a gimmick.
For me any option I choose I should just buy a new system entirely, that breaks my bank. I have a less than last gen PC, it's good enough to surf the net and I can play original Starcraft. I kinda wish I had a powerhouse rig it would make life a ton easier.
Social network games have their place but can never take the place of games developed for a console or PC. I still have a Myspace account but I'm never on it long enough to do anything, I just post pics or see what's coming up with one of my favorite bands. I certainly am not interested in signing onto another site just to be ignored or to play chinsey games that don't matter.......
I remember the first time I played Zelda, I played for months but never did beat the game, when Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past came out that was the first Zelda I beat...... Zelda is one of the best game franchises in the history of gaming, right next to Mario, Metroid and Metal Gear.....
When Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation first launched I was actually more interested in the Saturn but as the first few months came and went the games released was kinda underwhelming then where I lived the video store ended up renting the Playstation so I rented it one day, Nuclear Strike and Tomb Raider 2 were the 2 games I rented, I liked them both and later bought a PSX and never looked back lol
The PS2 launch was kinda whatever, I ended up getting my first PS2 just after launch in the second wave of systems. Most all the launch lineup games kinda sucked except Smugglers Run and Midnight Club. It wasn't until later when GTA III came out a whole new era of games was ushered in..... The PS2 was the best, the last great game I played on the system was Onimusha: Dawn Of Dreams After that there are a few standout titles that came up but that game for me signaled the end of PS2 because after that Microsoft came out with XBOX 360.......
