[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="rawr89"]no because no matter how great the story of Mass Effect is, it's still have guns and bullets flying. hey, Dragon Age was Bioware's epic RPG, and it didnt sell well simply because it's not a shooter. that's all there is to it. had they made Mass Effect not a shooter but same characters, story, etc., do you really think it'd be enjoyed by the 360 fanbase? highly doubt it. Dragon Age was mutliplat and it sold three million so it doesn't fit your argument at all. i mean it didnt sell as well as Mass Effect 2 on the 360, given Dragon Age having the better story, bigger universe, deeper RPG elements, and longer game hours, and more intricate dialogue/choice system. so what doesnt fit my argument?

what made me not like GoW3 were the puzzles. too easy unlike GoW1 and GoW2 puzzles. i mean, the Labyrinth thingy where the box/room would rotate so that you can move the little box around was just plain stupid. it's like Uncharted 2 puzzles stupid. okay, the Gardens puzzle had me thinking, but that was it. bleh. also, WTF NO TRAPS?! timed traps were the best. why did they exclude it?! they're not annoying, they're challenging. i remember in GoW1 in Pandora's temple where there's this big wheel in this circular room, etc. that was even better than most GoW3 puzzles.
and now i will wait for M$ to ban third-party USB drives. LOL. just as how you can only upgrade your harddrive through that overpriced M$ HDD and not through third-party HDD like the PS3. i mean, a 250GB for $130??? lol. i can buy a 1TB HDD for my ps3 for the same price, or maybe even cheaper. or how you cant back up all your data on a 3rd party external HDD. hahahahaahaaaaa....
it depends. if im already familiar with a game, i play on Hard. if the game is new to me (and a lengthy game at that), then i always choose Normal to give way for familiarization. for example, my GoW1 playthrough was on Hard (God Mode) and completed it. that meant a Hard start for both GoW2 and GoW3. and since i was part of the September 2009 Beta for Battlefield Bad Company 2, i started on Hard with the campaign. and just how i played Hard on Uncharted 2. but for new games that im not familiar with i.e. the first Uncharted, i always start on Normal. not because i cant take the challenge, but because i want to enjoy the first experience first and foremost. and then if im already familiar with it, i will start on Hard for the sequel.
dont listen to shawty. he got it all wrong. first off, if the game supports 720p, 1080i & 1080p, it means you can upscale the res from 1280x720(progressive) to 1920x1080(interlace) and 1920x1080(progressive), just like how you can change the resolution of your desktop/pc games. you'll notice in most pc games that if you up the res, there will be less jagged edges/clearer images. now, as for the TV, it will NOT upscale it to 1080p IF you set your ps3 to output it in 720p. that means, all the res stuff will be controlled through your ps3 and NOT through your TV. shawty does not understand the difference between upscaling the res and scaling the res to fit your tv screen. if my 13.3-inch laptop can output movies in 1080p resolution and my 60" HDTV can do the same, then why arent they the same in size?? it's because the 1080p image needs to fill out your screen, BUT, they are still 1080p. so, in shorter terms, no matter what the res you're playing, your TV will scale the image to fill your screen i.e. it will not increase the resolution. so if you're playing a 720p game, your 1080p HDTV will let the 720p image fill out the 1080p screen. meaning, it will stretch the image, like how standard cable television looks stretched out when watching in widescreen. it does not mean that standard cable tv shows have higher resolution because they dont get sharper or clearer when stretched out, it's just that they fill the whole tv screen. what im trying to say is, if you change the resolution of your desktop from 1280x720 (720p) to 800x600, then the icons get bigger, and their edges will get rougher, right?? that is what the ps3 does when upscaling 720p games to 1080p. in turn, the monitor still displays your desktop in fullscreen, right? that's how your 1080p HDTV works. it will 'scale' the image to fill your screen. if it doesnt do that, the desktop will be displayed like a small box on the center of your screen with black borders. both 800x600, the difference is that one is 'scaled' to fill your monitor screen, and one is literally downscaled to 800x600. on a side note, you can not tell the difference of 720p games to 1080p on a 32". you need at least a 50" to tell the difference. also, there's no point in purchasing a 1080p tv because most games run on 720p native, and even if you up the resolution, it's not that big of a leap because only the resolution will be affected i.e. no change in texture detail, etc. that is, if you have to budget your money. but if money isnt an issue, then buy the 1080p since the PS4 will definitely be 1080p native (hope so). :D
