I just got through Alpha Protocol. I really enjoyed it. Encountered some bug, but I enjoyed the modern day setting and story a lot. The dialog options and choices you make really influence the games outcome.
Pachter is right. There is simply no incentive for Sony/MS to release a new console. Sony is still trying to recoup the losses that the PS3 brought the company. Each PS3 still loses Sony money, a new console would be even worse. MS is still selling a ton of consoles every month which (I believe) actually make MS money. Until the competition is truly pumping out next gen graphics, MS is in a fine position to ride the Xbox 360 as long as it can.
EDIT: Also, a large install base is profitable cause MS/Sony get a cut of whatever games are sold on their systems. A new generation would abolish that.
On a personal note, I have no desire to spend another 600-800$ upgrading my consoles.
Well I've watching the Bad Company 2 Battlefield moments and realise that the sounds in the game are excellent. Does it really sound like that when your in-game?
mhofever
HDR sound man. Good sound design is a completely underrated aspect of games.
It wouldn't have been nearly as bad if they just put some sorta respawn timer on those damn outposts. Like a week (ingame time) or something. I was really looking forward to FC2..too...
Still I wish they would stop comparing EVERY FPS to MW2! Its getting annoying and Battlefield is a completely different game!Hekynn
That's what happens when you're the king of the FPS world (whether or not you agree). I personally think BC2 will poop over MW2 in terms of campaign and MP (I loved the betas/demos and the MW2 campaign stunk so that should be easy).
I still don't understand how sites can review games so heavily focused on MP a week early. Did the guy even play all the maps? Was it like 2v2 over LAN?
You serious? CS:S is the still the 2nd most played game on Steam and on Xfire I think it's still #1. It's a great game but it's old news now dude. If it were released as is today it would have a hard time getting a 7.5. A lot of ppl play it cause it's a good competitive game that'll run on a weak ass pc, which means theres a HUGE install base for it. I'm not hating on CS but the MW2 hate is getting kind of pathetic.
Yeah, it probably would get a 7.5 because it doesn't have a carrot dangling in front of gamers 24/7. It also has a plethora is meticulously balanced guns and recoil. Peeps just can't handle that stuff now.
I would say yes, but I would have to put Blizzard on another level though. They release a game every 100 years, but I'm pretty sure all their games are AAA (Diablo is still the highest scoring PC game here).
