You can't match the sales numbers from a perspective where everyone already has bought the instruments." Why would the sales be the same if people do not have to repurchase the same products they already have? Well, then they are just buying the software. And from a software stand point, those numbers are very good. Good debate! This needs to be talked about. Numbers are just numbers without context.

As I stated in the story, "I do need to separate the differences between what camping is versus legitimate stealth play. When I talk about playing stealthily, I'm referring to a proper form of play style that requires precision and skill. Posting up in a snipe position and quickly scattering about the map to stay undetected is very different than camp mode. It requires experience and knowledge of the maps at hand."

And sometimes even when I see them on the kill cam if I seek them out again they are waiting for me in a different section of the room and shoot me up as soon as I enter the entrance. I can camp too, but I'm playing a "video game." Not a real life war zone. I don't "really die" when shot and would rather have my action playing style back rather then camp and wait for unsuspecting players to walk by. Where did the action go? I can hide in a closet in real life and scare people too. It's just not fun. Or maybe it's my Gears of War multiplayer mentallity... This wasn't much of a problem there.

I want to play the DLC and just finished the story mode last week.

If that's your stance and debate you are missing the point completely.

I agree that this takes its form in many different ways. I dove into this topic though because I felt it hit a nerve in a very real way. The history of racism in our country is too deep for people to use such hateful words so casually.

Like an age gap that allows adults to play with only adults (18 and up) separated from the younger audience?

Sounds like a great extension of the story with change ups that keep it fresh - Nice!

But and this is a big BUT, I'm sure it has to also do with the price tag. I can't help but think this game became almost trendy to hate. I'm not an advocate and a 7 isn't really a quality score nowadays, but I just don't think it's THAT bad...

I talk about the problems the game does have, but overall I have fun going to back to it for a change up in my gaming experience. This is not real skateboarding and I reviewed it according to that mind set. But I appreciate your feedback.

And Razien, Dead Space got to me for some reason. I played it on a harder difficulty and always felt on my toes. I guess to each his own... Something about feeling confined in an environment with creatures in the walls that brought me back to the ALIEN movies.

That's like asking who's still playing baseball after the season's over.

I can understand how the limitations can add to the overwhelming experience, but what I found was a lot of fustration. I think if I was given just a bit more movement control I would have had a better experience. I guess I'm being so hard on the series because I have love for it and don't want it to get left behind. Tough love so to speak. Wed, 9 Dec 2009 20:09:48 +0000 http://www.kombo.com/article.php?artid=13866#IDComment46425513
