I own two launch-360's and have always made sure that both are kept in the horizontal position. I have yet to have any problems with either one. I've always trusted all of my hardware more in a horizontal position, as vertical hardware just seems unnatural, and so far it seems to be paying off.
GH2 = fun. GH3= torture. GH3 is way too demanding and next to impossible on some songs.extremmotocross
It's odd how some people find GH3 to be significantly harder, yet, other find GH2 to be harder. I found GH2 to be way more challenging. The timing on GH3 seemed to be a lot more loose, especially the hammer-ons and pull-offs... it seemed like I could pull those puppies off with my eyes closed.
I would say, hands down, GHII. Although, obviously, it all has to do with song preference. For me, it was a much better game... and a much less emphasis on three-chord combinations and more on scaling up and down the frets. My kind of style.
So you are saying we should have 4/5 games that are shooters in GOTY contender? It still doesn't have RPG like Mass Effect in there.magicalclick
So you are saying that if a console has 5 terrific games that all belong to the same genre, that go above-and-beyond all-other releases across seperate genres, that only a couple of those 5 games should be chosen? Just because they're of the same genre?
The point of "Game of the Year" awards (whether it spans all platforms, or a specific platform) are to select the best game released on that platform across all genres, not the best game from each individual genre. That's the point. If action-adventure games can't continue to evolve and innovate at the rate of FPS's, then that shouldn't come at a cost to FPS developers who benefit from receiving these awards.
I can honestly say that I never expected BioShock to not be included as an Xbox 360 GoTY contender. I mean, it was GameSpot's "Most Promising" game of last year's E3, and it ended up being one of the highest-rated games of the 360. Now, obviously Forza 2 got a higher score, but I believe that Forza only improved the basic mechanics of it's predacessor, which was already a pretty sold game. Whereas BioShock was a much more innovative title, as well as an original IP.
Sorry, it's a little off-topic as I don't own the game and therefor don't have an answer to your question, but, can you tell me what you think of the game? I haven't liked RPG's for years.. but I tried the demo just for the heck of it and thought that it might be something that I'd really enjpy. What are your thoughts? Is it long, are there any major flaws in it?
It only takes one book to make you realize that reading can actually be something enjoyable. For me, that book was "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"; it's a little abstract, but it's a great read. There's a movie as well.
The second- and third-largest game publishing companies in the world announced that they merged this morning to form the largest video game publisher in the world; thus, knocking Electronic Arts to the #2 position.
