Even though i said in my earlier post theyre a waste of money,the games i play dont tend to need them much as i dont really play rpgs,except ones like Fallout 3 etc,the more accessible ones.

I can understand people wanting to collect guides too,i collect marvel graphic novels and anything marvel related.

Personally though i wouldnt get the use out of a gide.

My opinion? Waste of money!

I like to figure things out in games myself and even if i do get stuck there plenty of walkthroughs and guides for free online.

Each to their own though.

Id have to say Spider-man 3 for the 360.

That game was such a waste. The most heartbreaking thing is the webslinging is,in my opinion,the best of all the spidey games,its just such a shame the combat is terrible.

I gave up about 5 missions from the end and im in no rush to go back and finish with so many great unplayed games in my collection. I HATE leaving games unfinshed though,allways feels like its beaten me lol.

Cheers for all the response and input! I do know what one of the first posters meant about it not being the biggest leap. I was playing streets of rage 2 one week and the next resident evil 2 and i waa blown away. But this last gen still feels to me like a massive leap,especially with things like psn and dlc. Plus the graphics no longer look like blocks. Its wierd how most ps2 games look awful now and back then it was "wow!"

All this talk of the next "next" gen consoles is making me nervous. I know itll happen eventually of course but to me it seems any kind of announcement like the new xbox being revealed in january is a little premature.

Ive been a game fan since i had a spectrum computer with a black and white tv and there never been a bigger leap in tech than the xbox to 360 or ps2 to ps3. I think weve got so much more to come on the present consoles now theyve got the hang of programming for the ps3 finally i cant see the next gen ones offering anything new. I have both a ps3 and 360 by the way,i was just using that as an example. Games like RAGE look gorgeous compared with the earlier games so it that proof we dont need new consoles yet?

Maybe in 2 or 3 years ill be ready to hear about the new consoles but what do you guys think?

I know theres probably been 1000s of topics like this already but hey ho!

Ive just played through sly 2 on the ps3 collection and i normally play through my games with the y axis inverted,however due to the constant shifting of the camera and aiming that game was easier with the y axis set to normal.

That got me thinking that i allwys played my games with the y axis inverted but not inverted its actually more accurate. Its kind of odd really that im now playing through another game with the y axis set to normal. Jeez i hope this is coming across how i meant it to.

What do you guys have you y axis set to in game? And do any games through you out that dont offer this feature?

Bit of a pointless topic i guess but it got me thinking that ive been put off a few games like tenchu z and the new splinter cell collection cause they dont offer an inverted y axis.

That should have said throw you out.not through you out,duh!

...these games won't be released in disc format outside of Japan?

I know I am. At first, I was more than happy to just download them via Xbox Live Arcade, but when I heard about Japan getting a disc version (and everywhere else not), I kind of didn't want it anymore. I just feel (personally) that we are getting ripped off.So what I am going to do is wait a few months and see if it released in discformat over here via demand from people, and thenif not,I MIGHT considergetting them... but, I am not so sure.

Personally, I don't see why Capcom hasn't just gone ahead and done thisalready, because it would have definately been on my Christmas list (thereare too manynew games to want them right now, such as Gears ofWar 3, which I am getting thisTuesday, andArcade games such as Burnout Crash! and BloodRayne Betrayal).It is high on my list, however, but with the lack of a disc and package, I'm not completely sure I still want it as some people are getting the discs. I keep repeating myself now, and so I am wondering if anybody else is upset about this decision by Capcom? just curious, that's all :).

If it was released just like Metal Gear Solid HD Trilogy, I would get it for Christmas, which would strangely be a classic game-fuelled Christmas (kinda).

Im in the same boat,thosr resi games are ace,especially 4 but i want them on disc.

Capcom be capcom will allmost with no doubt release it on disc a month after launch,theyre so tight and will do anything for money these days!

Cheers for all the input guys.

I wish id have said more in my first post now but it was late last night when i typed it out (hence the dodgy typing and spelling mistakes).

Firstly i do think digital downloading games can be good and gives us chance to play the smaller games that wouldnt justify a disc release like young thor,microbot and the alien breed remakes.

Its just annoying to me how some bigger games like the ones i mentioned are be said to be download ONLY when they would justify a disc release for people who would prefer one,like me and others on this thread alone. Its just not giving us the chance to get a good deal on the game if buying new.

I do respect how some people love downloading the bigger games and thats 100% upto them but i still think choice is important.

Also i do try to support the devs whenever i can,i normally buy 12 or so new releases every year and the odd collectors edition,i know im a hypocrite. It just does annoy me when they get greedy and try to fleece us at every turn,some are worse than others though.........capcom!!!

Dont get me wrong,i LOVE videogames,allways have and allways will!

Im not annoyed at the amount or type of quality games coming out as the technology now is incredible compared to the PS2/XBOX era and those gameswere great anyway!

Im more concerned with the way theyre introducing games to the market in this "digital" era.

It annoying how so many great games are announced to be "download" only. Examples are Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica HD. The original Crysis is due to be release next month but only on xbla/psn. And the new Infamous 2:Festival of Blood will be only available to download.

Im not sure about you guys but i like to collect games,i like them on my shelf with the artwork etc on a disc that i know will last years after xbox live or psn has closed down!!

This is just a way for tight devs (which ive supported since the spectrum days) to ensure they make maximum profit as they can charge what they like for each game if they have no competition from retail game shops whether its specialist or from a supermarket etc.

Im also getting sick of these "pre order" bonuses or collectors editions! I love getting the collectors editions but noone can argue that they get expensive.

Id rather they gave just physical collectible items and soundtracks with them and let all the gamers who buy the game experience the extra levels,costumes and in game extras. Not everyone can afford to get the special editions then they miss out on ingame content. Admittedly most of it is available to download soon after anyway and the quality of extra content can be pretty rubbish at times but still!

The online pass system has been causing alot of debate lately but personally i dont mind it,the way i see it is that online adds tonnes of extra hours onto a game so why not buy it new anyway and youll still get your moneys worth? Even if you wait for a price drop.

Also DLC can be really cool but its SO annoying how i buy a new game and 1 or 2 weeks later theres an extra campaign to buy online. No one can tell me that the campaign was made in 2 weeks!!! It was obviously produced along side the game and the devs then expect fans to cough up extra to complete the story and experience. Why should we if weve bought the game to support them?

In the days of the Megadrive and Snes you bought a game and that was it,end of! The industry still thrived back then without ripping the fans off. But then i guess games worked out alot mor expensive back then but do you see my point?

What do the rest of you guys think?
