I've got the CE on preorder. I'm a sucker for MMO extras, not sure what I'm going to do with the box though, my others already take up quite a bit of space.

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"][QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"][QUOTE="ninjaxams"]

way overated. I've honostly NEVER enjoyed any gta game due to the teenage humar and shat gameplay mechanics but this title at least improves on the gameplay aspect of it. however, the game is incredibly buggy and I'll be getting rid of it as soon as haze drops.

which brings me to another point. why do titles like mass effect get blasted for performance issues when gta4 doesn't. seriously, the game in borderline broken right now....

What are you talking about? I havent run into any bugs so far. I am 26 hours in.

Yup, this game performs rather well for me. Mass Effect had the worst framerate issues and texture loading.

I hardley had any problems with masseffect, maybe you should have cleared your cache. Maybe I have the best 360 ever made but the framerate issues were not a problem for me.

Wow, are your eyes ok? ME ran worse than anything else I've played on the 360. It was a great game no doubt, but it was riddled with bugs and technical issues and wasn't nearly the scope of GTAIV. And the 360 doesn't cache anything, everything is taken off the disk, that's what caused the terrible texture pop-in.

The main thing stated in just about every GTAIV review is that the game is FLAWED, but everything else comes together so well, that those flaws don't matter. I've been having a blast with the game, some of the most fun I've had just exploring since I first picked up WoW. I've come across a couple of problems, but I've overlooked them because I've enjoyed playing the game so much. I havn't finished the game, but right now, it's the most fun I've had in quite some time so definitely a 10/10 for me. I hope the PS3 version keeps it's 100% meta score on metacritic, it's definitely deserving of having the highest game score, Rockstar deserves it as well.

I played it on my PC and loved it. The atmosphere and big daddy fights got me hooked, not sure why so many people didn't like it. I played through it twice and probably won't touch it again. It really got outshined last year, but I definetly enjoyed it more than Assassin's Creed which reviewed about the same and was one of the most boring games I've ever played, barely even finished it.

Yeah, they're turning conventional wisdom on it's ear, apparently the 4th time is the charm nowadays.

Yes, it does really well with Blu-rays, but after it's been playing for a while the fan will kick up to high and it has annoyed me on a couple of quiet films, but most of the time I don't notice it. For being a Blu-ray player and game system combined, I'd say it's a steal.

I played through on the medium difficulty (normal?) and my last save clocks in at 6h37m. That being said, I died A LOT, so unless you're really good with a gamepad (I'm not) you'll probably have to go through some of the larger fights a time or two more. Probably got 9-10 hours of playtime out of it from all my restarts so a decent weekend would probably do it.

I hate motion controls, the sixaxis pisses me off and feels tacked on in every game I've ever used it in, even Heavenly Sword which everyone seems to think it's great in. If every console in the next gen has games based on or around motion controls I'll be back to PC gaming for another decade.

If anything I expect Sony and Microsoft to strike a deal with each other since technology at the top end won't support two consoles that come out at the same time as is the case right now with everyone in a dead heat as to what actually differentiates the PS3 from the 360; for me, motion controls detract from it more than they add to it, and having a blu-ray player in my game console doesn't do a whole lot for me, although I have come to appreciate the added feature.

In the end, if everyone jumps on the bandwagon of motion controls and casual gaming, a lot of the "hardcore" gamers are going to be put-off by it and it will wind up costing Sony and MS a lot more than they would gain. I like my games fine the way they are now and there's been nothing that I've played on the Wii that has given me anything to match what I've played on my PS3 and 360. Guess Super Mario just isn't for me anymore.

Dead Rising, it's actually the only game that makes me wish I had a 360, yet I'm kind of over it now, played it loads at friends houses.

And yet to be released, who knows, there are games not even announced/we have hardly any info on that could kick ass, like Sadness, Timesplitters 4, and some games from last gen franchises that don't have a sequel yet.

Totally forgot about Dead Rising, it's the reason I purchased my 360, probably one of the more interesting games this generation has seen.
