I fail to see how this comparison makes sense.

If I feel like I look like an idiot I'm not having fur and I agree 100% with your opinion on motion controls in general. I have zero interest in getting off the couch or chair when I game. I game to relax after a long day of work and kids, not the other way around.

Metacritic isn't evil in itself. The information that it aggregates is. Review scores are for lazy readers that cant' formulate an opinion without a numerical quantity attached to a review. Metacritic perpetuates this laziness by averaging out the numerical data, further compounding the problem. Review scores need to go. Period. Gamers need to get back into the habit of playing games or reading reviews and filtering what is good or acceptable for themselves rather than relying on gaming journalist to do it for them. Then maybe gaming journalist could start writing more interesting articles that don't read like press releases.

I'll definitely be picking this one one.

Basketball people should already know that.

When the pieces fell, RDR won the duel and the other 3 titles were left for scraps. Blur was a fantastic as a beta, sorry to hear it didn't move any units.

So why repeat it? Just be honest and say you want to cash in on that non-gamer money and leave it at that. I also think the price point isn't appropriate for the target audience either. That's going to be a huge deturant.

When I was a kid and I got my first console (Colecovision) my parents threatened to confiscate it if they ever saw me getting worked up over a game. My consoles have never been confiscated and games were a lot harder back in the day than now.

On the flip I just consider myself a gamer. I prefer playing games to watching or reading them on screen any day of the week.

Plus, everything they've shown thus far looks EXACTLY like Modern Warfare. If it wasn't for the M16's and the paint jobs on the choppers I'd swear I was watching MW trailers. Not saying any of that is bad, just sayin'...

I think this is mostly towards more current sports and FPS titles. Basically the days of saving $5 to get a game used is over. You'll now spend $5 extra dollars to get the game used with online. I'm expecting game trade stores to reduce their prices on on said titles and this will all be a wash in the end. You're used onlne games will just be worth less in trade going forward.

Everyone else will complain and threaten boycotts just like they did the last time.

They aren't and obviously not being able to use flash hasnt' impacted sales with joe-cellphone-consumer. In fact I'd argue that only tech savvy people like you and me would even feature check an option like flash before buying a smartphone to begin with. We're a smal minority of smartphone consumers. On the flip side, most Apple gaming detractors hate the idea of non-tactile gaming so does it even matter if the iPhone/iPad can't play flash games to you? You probably wouldn't play them even if it they were available according to previous write-ups. Wed, 12 May 2010 18:07:42 +0000 http://ps3.kombo.com/article.php?artid=10533#IDComment75097900
