Im loving MGS peace walker, but they really fucked up when it came to the online. The boss battles are long and hard….. for a single player. SuperTom why the hate for GTA4? The story was decent and you didn’t have to run over grandmas if you didn’t want to. You sounded like an angry parent who doesn’t get it. I would love to get Brain’s opinion on the game. On to E3 the playstation move is getting good reviews but i think you guys are right, the kinetic might have a chance to be a hit. I know i wouldnt want to buy a $80 controller(1player) $40 playstation eye and a $40-$60 game.
I totally agree. It took me 25 min to take down that damn tank. Though if you just load up with rocket launchers it makes things a bit quicker.
As for my hate of GTA4. I just think the GTA series played out. Rockstar continues to get away with shitty controls, sub-par graphics, and repetitive mission structure only because they have a decent story and they’re controversial. I played about 6 hours of GTA4. Couldnt stand the driving, none of the characters were likable and failed a mission because some guy ran off and the game didnt even tell me what I was suppose to do. All that said, I’m absolutely loving Red Dead. The game is still plagued with bugs and control issues but the characters are great and the gameplay is addictive.
The good news about Playstation Move is that the games are all budget priced around $30-$40. And you can use the 6-axis instead of buying the navigation control. It still get’s up there in price, but it’s basically exactly what the Wii has been doing all along.
