Why the Rockstar bashing?

Hey long time since i did one of these but here you go, I just wanted to talk a little bit about the bashing Rockstar is getting. I have felt for a while now that Rockstar isn't doing themselves any favours by creating these games.

But still i enjoy games like gta because there fun and i have the sense to know that its not real and killing people wont go un-punished. So why cant all the politicians and groups agasint pretty much nothing shut the hell up and realise what the games demographic is.

For example Bully or dog eat dog or whatever it will be called, I dont think is a harmful game to anyone what so ever. All i see is a game that is letting the kid being bullied be the bully. And yes there will be violence in it, but kids shouldn't be playing these games and Rockstar know this, but still the politicians and groups still say they are making these games to make a impression on kids. Which is ridiculous because if that were true, why is there a huge 18 label on the front of the box?

I just find it sad that Rockstar get all the bad press and bull crap just because there games aren't dealing with subjects or topics that havent or dont get doven into because of the hassle that comes with it. And for this i praise Rockstar because they always stick with the idea and create good games, and in the end thats all that matters.

If games were only supposed to have storys of islands with a evil demonto be destroyed or a person who saves the world, then the games market could never tap into what sells and thats giving someone a different reality to there own and that is why gta is such a success and why i think bully if good should do exactly the same thing and be a top seller to shut these idiots up.

Maybe one day games like this will just come out with no hassle at all, and if a kid trys to start fights at school on bullies then thats the parents problem and if that does happen why is the kid playing the game in the first place? Also hopefully that Thompson dude can be out of a job.... Ahh we can only dream....

Will Nintendo have a spaceworld type event this year?

Hey there i havent wrote in my blog for a while but i thought i would write about a thought that popped into my head about 10 seconds before i started writing this.

Will Nintendo have a spaceworld type of event this year? I think it would be a very good idea for Nintendo to show more people new games, or tell a release date and price maybe? Because they had a event specifically for the DS when that was coming out so it seems only right for Nintendo to do a event showing off the Wii using final hardware and stuff and reveal some details before its release.

But yeah i just thought i would write that because from the intial blog idea im kinda thinking that if they do announce a event specifically for the Wii, I guarantee they will tell everyone the release and price and everthing about the Wii. You heard it here first people. But does anyone else think it would be a good chance for Nintendo to reveal information? Or was this type of of event a certainty in your minds that it was going to happen anyway? Comments always appreciated :).

Oh and before i go, I was playing table tennis yesterday trying to win the first part of the pro circuit to realise I was in for a very annoying and frusrating time. Jesper kept hittin shots at me in every direction sending me running left to right :evil:, with the force of a elephant on speed, and i had nothing to do against him but try and scrape some points or make that punk run for the ball! But i finally defeated him today :). But now i am putting a price on his head for anyone who knows the anger i suffered i will give them £50,000 (Money will never be payed due to reasons i cannot explain) to hurt, I mean HURT Jesper with the hardest shot you could ever do with a ping pong ball. Lets see him make random grunting noices when a ping pong ball is impedded into his face!

Soz about the rant but god that dude is annoying!!!!

Cya laters people.

Yeah Right Sony keep dreaming!

Now i know people will have already read this remark that Phil Harrison made but i will post the worst line or sentence of all.

"We believe that the PS3 will be the place where our users play games, watch films, browse the Web, and use other [home] computer functions," said Harrison. "The PlayStation 3 is a computer. We do not need the PC."

This is the quote to end all quotes of stupidity! Now I use a PC to view websites and create Word documents for college work and so on. But how the hell can a PS3 make a PC not even needed? Exactly it doesn't, its a ludicrous remark that will go down in the histroy books as being a very stupid thing to say. Right now if Sony is such an amazing company why cant they concentrate on making a great games console?

You know why Phil shouldn't have said said it will make a PC seem obselite or not needed or whatever? Because they are two different things. A game console plays games and maybe the odd DVD but "the" feature is the games, but i dont want to have a folder called saves where i have to move the analouge stick onto the folder and press the x button to view the space on my PS3 HDD lol. I dont want to make Word documents on my PS3. Why cant Sony see that people want to play new and exciting games and have good game related services and features for the PS3. Not PC related features because there not neccesary.

The term game console seems pretty self explanitory, a game console plays games and should be known and used to play games and do it well. A PC has multiple uses and things like searching the Web and creating documents or whatever features are suited to a PC.  Why try and combine the two? Its so stupid.

It seems now that more and more people are getting annoyed and irratated with each and every statement Phil Harrison makes. I know I am and that is because hes trying to create hype but he doesn't know who he is creating hype for anymore and is trying to create a PC/games console but people want a game console so why say it will make PC's obselite? Its stupid . So I will say this, Phil Harrison the audience you are trying to create hype for people who play games. Did you hear that? Games! I will use my PC to do tons of stuff, but i dont want to use a PS3 for PC like features. And no the PS3 will not make me not need a PC, it will not change my use for my PC at all but your comments are making me not want your PC i mean PS3 anymore.

Send the right message to the audience you should be appeasing and that's people who play games.They want things thats going to make playing games on your system better, making a PC plus game console isn't what people want. So if the PS3 doesn't have great game related features whats the point of even calling it a games console?

So there you go, a little rant i suppose you can say but i hope you enjoyed reading my little rant about Phil harrison's comment, There was a comment made on the news story itself too, but i still had more to say so i thought i would make a blog :). Thanks for reading.

Supreme commander looks cool!!!

I looked at Carrie Gouskos blog today and saw a link to supreme commander a RTS that made Carrie willing to have surgery to have more arms. But i dont like RTS's really so i just thought "hey its just like every other game".

But then i watched the trailer and i knew what Carrie meant that game is so chaotic and makes those games seem exciting and fun more than any other i have basically ever seen. And that spider looking thing looked so cool but it got destroyed!!! The whole game seemed great and the effects looked great and made the game look and feel more chaotic. Every body should watch it if you like RTs games or not, so i just thought i would tell everybody what i felt about the game.

Heres the link to the awesome trailer

I heard more features that are not included with PS3....

The controllers are not wireless i have heard when you buy the 20GB version of PS3 and you will never be able to have wireless controllers with that console at all it seems? That seems pretty terrible because wireless should be happening and to force someone to have those controllers is pretty hilarious. the link at the bottom of this blog says this story but im not sure if its true by the way but im just hoping its not. Because i only thought the HD support was not there and you could not upgrade the unavailable wireless controllers just adds more bullcrap to the cheaper system.

Also you cannot upgrade the console with a larger HD so that sucks quite alot. And they have been ranting on about true HD for a while and you cant even get it with the 20 GB version of the PS3. I had accepted the price already but it seems even more exstorstion to have the price of £500 for a blatently less capable machine that doesn't do what Sony promised. At  least with the 360 you could upgrade the core version and have all the other features that the console promised.

It seems quite dissapointing especially when the price is a $100 difference (Im still wondering how muhc it will cost in £). Just imagine playing singstar and buying tons of songs and if they take up lots of HD space what do you do? I would firstly sell singstar and delete every song i bought off my HD lol

I just find it kind of dissapointing that all the features that are actually new with PS3 like having the oppurtunity to putting your memory stick duo into the PS3 and not having wireless controllers with the 20 GB version of PS3 feels to me that your not even getting a new system really... and you cant even upgrade it! So my advice to everyone you probably knwo this already, but do not buy thr 20 GB version of PS3 when it is released wait until you can get the better version.

E3: PS3, Wii and lots of badass games! Best E3 ever?

Well it’s happening. Later today E3 officially starts because all of the information and news that everybody will talking about will start coming out from today (Sony press conference) and then again on Tuesday because of Nintendo and Microsoft. Is everyone excited? You all should be! This is the most I have looked forward to E3 because of two systems and two systems alone. The Wii and PS3.

For the PS3 the time has come for us to find out how the much the PS3 will cost, what games will look like, what the controller looks like (will it be changed or wont it?). Or will everyone know a final release date in all territories of the PS3 by the end of today? We will have to wait and see.

But then we have Nintendo and the Wii now this has only had a few snippets of information (quite alot of the past few days like a tennis game is in the works and Warioware is too). But up until now nobody has really know what that machine will be like and how games will be played or even what games will be coming out for it and it will be really exciting to see all the information and videos and games unfold at E3 But I am sure like everyone else we want a release date for this thing and I am hoping on Tuesday the dates on which the console will be released in all territories will be revealed so i can start saving money! :P

I am also looking forward to E3 because of many games that will be released for consoles other than the PS3 and Wii so i thought i would list some of the games I am most looking forward to seeing videos of or whatever. But this E3 to me has to have the best list of games coming out this year and beyond and all the games i have listed should be on peoples list of most anticipated games but that’s just me.

Games I am looking forward to at E3

Zelda twilight princess (final release date please?)

Okami

F.E.A.R for the 360

Ninety-Nine Nights

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom hourglass

Dead Rising

Lost Planet

Guitar hero II

Gears of war

And there’s some other games that i cant think of right now but i will be looking out for coverage of all those games which I am sure i will get from Gamespot, But what do you think of my list is there any i missed? Post your comments and I’ll see if they should be on that list too.

Completed God of war feeling very satisfied.

Of my first blog entry i thought i would talk about the game i just completed which from the tilte gives you a hint that it was God of war. Now after playing it and defeating aries in one of the most annoying boss battles ever that took me quite a while to get right, i am glad i bought that game.

I had a ps2 quite a while ago but it broke on me and then i got used to not having onne until i heard of guitar hero, but i cant just buy one game so i decided to buy all of the games that interested for the ps2 and God of war was the first game i bought. I had watched the video review for the game last year and i thought it was very cool but i accepted that i wouldnt play it until i had a ps2 again lol. But im very glad i bought that game because the puzzles are very good and challenging but can be quite annoying but that makes you want to get past them and the comabt is cool. But in God of war II i would like to see more adeventure type moments compared to combat because that was cool and all, but i just thought that some more adventure sequences would have made the game more equal and not just feel like a combat game with a bit of adventure, and actually make it a action adventure game.

So im definately going to buy God of war II just to see what happens next for Kratos but until then i will still be playing God of war but just in God mode to find out the extra material that i have heard is available if you complete the game on god mode. So i know i might be quite far behind but for anyone who has played or own that game should buy it because its very cool and very cheap right now to (platinum for £15). So the game is totally worth it.

Well thats it for my first blog entry and for my second blog entry im definately going to talk about E3 because its going to be great. Thanks for reading.
