  • U2 keen to appear in own Rock Band game

  • KrissAkabusi 08/10/2009

    U2 are arseholes, but they do have a really good catalogue of music, right up to the current day. Sad as fuck that they want to do it now cus they see how much the Beatles one has coined in though. Reply +4

  • PSPgo now available for under 200 quid

  • KrissAkabusi 06/10/2009

    There's smoke and mirrors going on with this thing. There's no way Sony could bring this to the market at that price and expected it to succeed. There is an alternative aim to having this thing out there, and among the reasons that spring to mind for me are making the existing PSP and the PS3 more attractive purchases. Reply 0

    NiGHTS in HD too please, with only the flying bits, none of the other bollocks that ended up in the Wii-make. Sega are insane though. They fuck everything up. Reply +4

    I got Orangebox when it came out, loved Portal, but really didn't get why the Half-Life games were so widely praised, very dull in my opinion. Reply +2

    'I have played World of Warcraft for 1,532 hours, 3 minutes and 25 seconds. That's not counting time logged on beta servers for the expansions, and a couple of low-level characters I deleted. I have played my main character for over 795 hours.'

    1,532 hours - that's around ten months of work for the average person. TEN MONTHS!!! I feel bad for you man. I really do.

    As for the list, not to my taste, but didn't expect it to be anyway. I would say GTA3 is one of the flimsiest gaming experiences I've ever had. The sequels were far more solid experiences.     Reply +1

    "lot of devs are getting away with selling huge numbers of bad titles because the average Wii owner doesn't sit around reading the likes of Eurogamer all day".

    A bad title to you or eurogamer could be the best game ever to someone else. Try to get your head round that you arrogant, arrogant boy. You're a games fascist.

    It's not about what you like. Your stance was that a chunk of the wii market is there cus they don't know better.

    ".......how far gaming has evolved in the last 30 years. And these consumers (whether shopping for themselves or their 9 year old loved ones) are more easily duped........."

    These consumers see the same games on the shelf as the rest of us. They decide not to buy 360 and PS3 because it doesn't interest them. Simple. There is no duping. Is it hard to accept that some people are happy with waggle and novelty? Just because someone enjoys Wii Sports or Wii Fit doesn't mean they are going to enjoy GTA, MGS, Halo, Gears, or even Mario Galaxy.     Reply +1

    "b) the marketing attracts a new type of consumer that doesn't really know better."

    No no nooooo. It's nothing to do with not knowing better. My nine-year-old sister knows exactly what she likes and it's not phucking FPSes. She would be bored out of her t'ts with a 360. I love the 360, it is my console of choice, but the arrogance of those who think the Wii is targeted to gaming retards is disgusting. The Wii works because it has provided a large chunk of the demographic with what they want in their life - fun, colourful games that you can dive in and out of.

    I own all three consoles and find Natal interesting tech, but really don't understand its market yet. I've yet to see anything that would convince casuals to choose it over the Wii, or would get a significant chunk of core have it supplement their current set-up.     Reply +2

  • KrissAkabusi 22/08/2009

    I'm very confused by Natal. I don't understand who the target market really is, nor how this specific approach benefits the gamer. Only the voice control really spikes my interest. Reply 0

    I'm certainly not an achievement-hater, I do like seeing my gamerscore go up, just wanted to make the point that a lot of achievements in a lot of games are really inane and certainly not worth the effort just to see a game finished 100 percent. Thinking things like the 1 point for playing 50 hours in FIFA 09 or that 50 point one for killing a billion in Gears of War 2. No way do I have the time to invest in that. Reply 0

  • KrissAkabusi 19/08/2009

    Is getting a 100 percent achievements really considered "completing" a game now? Surely the general consensus on completion is getting through the story/single player mode. So many achievements are so inane that you really do have to be a sad barsteward to go for them.

    The Engadget pics made me realise how attractive I find the original version. Okay it's a big girl, but big girls are beautiful too. The slim looks soooo cheap and nasty. It's like a Mega Drive!! Reply +2
