I preordered FF XIII-2 from Amazon UK because it had the "lowest price before shipping" deal. At the end I saved an extra 5 pounds. Since I know I will buy all FF games no matter what, it is good for me. Others do the same with Assassin's Creed. Personally I'll buy it but I'll wait for the price drop. And forget the PSN digital distributions!! At least in Italy the price is simply CRAZY. Up to 70 euro for a game? Are they out of mind?
@ Looiook Oh, I see. The conversation ends when you decide so. Not to mention that someone has been so lame to report my message about shooting virtual characters in a videogame as offensive. Next time please exercise your comprehension skills before to accuse someone.
I can't believe i've got a warning for a comment I made previously!!! Gamespot, go to hell. I clearly wrote that I want the option INGAME to shoot whom I consider a molester! If that was offensive for anyone, those people should stop playing videogames being so sensitive. In any case it's interesting to notice that this gay thing in ME3 isn't much popular, at least judging from the Metacritic users reviews. It has been flooded with zeros.
@Looiook I clearly stated in the game. What's wrong with it? We can massacre thousands of Africans in RE5, stalk the Haitians or any other ethnic group in GTA, but I can't shoot in the game a gay that harasses my male character? Get lost. Videogames are fake reality, we are allowed to express our darkest feelings.
Who needs the next-gen consoles now when the games that sell the most are CoD, not exactly known for their brilliant graphics and performances. Once the next-gen consoles will run 3D games, with 1080p @60 fps it will be over. That may as well be achieved soon by the new Nintendo console. With the next-gen it won't be a matter of hardware anymore, which is already here, but software (and costs). The new IPs and services will make the difference.
"PlayStation 3 owners can finally play shooters in a way that mimics the Xbox 360 controller", What's this non sense? Now one controller is better than another for the (ugly) FPS? Not to mention that there are fan.boys claiming that the DS3 is the best for shooters. The best controller is the one people are used to.
Good one Thomas!! Now please explain why a broken game like Skyrim still got a 9/10 in GS, not to mention a GOTY. To be objective with art can be ridiculous indeed but quality is instead very much measurable. And Skyrim is a mess, so much that the whole experience gets totally frustrating with time. On the other side the technically perfect Final Fantasy games can get a score as low as 7.5. Is FF XIII-2 too easy? it could be. At least one doesn't slice air as in Skyrim. From that point of view another great one, Dark Souls, deserves a perfect 10. Not because it is hard, because the fighting is incredibly well implemented. Because of the story? Huh? Again, did you play Skyrim? The main story is a joke. Where is the objectivity? Following your meter for 6/10 games skyrim doesn't deserve more than a 7. But it could well fit in the 6 area as well. So what's going on?
