i haven't played this game and i really don't care much about reviews....if i want to play it i do. i pay attention to reviews and to player reviews, when i am not sure what am going for, and i need feedback. Honestly, 8.0 is a good score. Metal Gear: guns of patriots was given 10's and 9's and i really was bored to death with that game. So, just play....in the end IT'S JUST A GAME! Man, enjoy it rather than bash each other until you convince the other one, that you are right.

for all the dudes who are complaining about this game being different, come' on! it's 2012!! what did you expect?! and then, they complain about Call of Duty and Dynasty Warriors being repetitive

This game looks interesting.....just like "I know this is a really, bad movie, but can't make myself switch the channel" kinda feeling. Might try this out when it comes out.

really nice article....and like s_h_a_d_o wrote below, if gamers continue to bite this, the publisher's will keep on feeding. So basically right now, Max Payne 3 is around $90?!! game $60 and "exclusive" downloadable stuff (multiplayer, vest, clothing, hair, pants..blah blah blah) 30 more bucks?!! naahhh that's just far out. Oh, and wait and see how much it will be for the God of War: Ascension multiplayer, if Rockstar pulls this off at that price.....man, i would consider just not playing anymore. Period. Why can't they just justify $60 FIRST? give me all that stuff you are planning for the next 3 months NOW, and then let me know that 5 months down the road am gonna get something else...it's $60. Why FIFA right now is the most dominating sports game out there? you have so many things to do both OFFLINE and ONLINE to keep you busy for till the next installment. And they even throw in that soccer card game stuff like in the middle.....EA FIFA gives players a lot of reasons to justify $60 each year....but games like marvel vs capcom, battlefield, heck am gonna say it games like L.a. Noire (that gave only gave you new cases and dresses....nothing actually new like permission to run wild on the city or something) they should all be ashamed. Even if it's only $10...it's the principle of it, cuz now, see Max Payne wants $30! how much will the next want??

best wrestling game all time, wcw vs nwo and revenge. Those 2 games just blew it open...on the NES the best were Pro Wrestling and Tecmo World Wrestling, which had the referee, an announcer and it had the FIRST Finishing move Dramatic cut-scene once you performed them. Now, due to wwe owning everything, everthing is stale. no competion = boring. look at madden for example. If they made a game with the complete control controls you had on wcw vs nwo series, plus a very well made and lengthy career mode with a bunch of options and a ton of wrestlers (i don't care if they are bogus wrestlers), we would see a real good wrestling game...for now it's all bland and generic.

things are getting to personal in this thread....look what you have done Carolyn! now everyone will start to unveil there own infernal deep secrets.....interesting though, but yet disturbing. Why am i still in here is what am thinking....

if Mike Haggar was reading this he would piledrive you all to hell, while yelling "grriiiuuuuupppppp"

imagine if by the end of Final Fight, Mike Haggar's daughter is actually a he?? would that end this discussion? please tell it does!

question, does God approve Mayor Mike Haggar's "beat the crap out of the scum of the city by his own hands" political policy??

wow....sperm, eggs and God!!! gotta love how people LOVE to complicate their lives. Dudes, just let people be whomever they choose to be. That is NOT your problem. Even if they feel miserable about it. And please just leave dear ol' God out of this discussion. Is not his fault you guys can't get along. Probably right now he might be playing Atari basketball with Satan, while drinking beer and watching Jesus make a wooden table for Mary. Life is short enough, so enjoy the rest of the day!
