Well I am not saying I dont like quality games, but from my view is different than others...so form my view some cettain games are quality but for others its not.

Thats why we are individuals with different mindset, and mine is very different.

If the gameplay is fun and it is keeping my happy and not pissed off (Killzone PS2 for example) then its someting good.

But then I always look at the setting, theme, music, characters, art style...if it is something I can relate to, something I like about those, I like it then.

For example, I like how the gameplay of COD4 seems, the intesnity and all that, but its modern warfare, and I am not a fan of it.

I am all about sci-fi twists to pure sci-fi such as Mass Effect, or these type of ancient ones like Assassins Creed or fantasy type games like NG, DMC, God of War..etc.

But in short, I have played hundreds of games, and there have been games I just said "damn its boring, even if it had sci-fi to it or whatever...the gameplay wasent there.

I guess I am considering myself fortunate that I have a different good mindset about games, I know what I am looking forward into a game and that is what matters for me.

I said my piece, so I wont go into this type of thing again, doesn't have anything to do with Uncharted.

Full of win

I dont dissagree with you Simon, but I at some points I do.

Like I said, we all have our taste in games, of how we see the game we play.

I am just happy I am not the type of guy who goes on reviews or what others say about a certain game.

I like the way I am about how I see my games, pays off really.

good post man. either that or i was sold by the tits metaphor =P

Yeah, but Simon you have to admit that there are people out there who are never satisfied or impressed with anything they see. I dont think either extreme is good to have. Its important to be critical of games, and demand quality as you said, but there comes a point when there's no joy or excitement in anticipating the release for a game, and all people see are flaws and things wrong with it. And I dont think that's really fair to developers.

Haha, i listened to all of the above using opera speak.

Couldn't be bothered to read a lot of the comments anymore, better to hear them (especially the "BLOWN AWAAAY")

Haha made me have a great vision and the wish of a real ones :D
Hate him for that, damn it ;)Agreed.

There are definitely people out there who are never satisfied with games, but don't confuse those with people who genuinely are not impressed or do not enjoy a game and then give valid reasons why not.

I don't. I am aware of the difference.

REALLY loving the game, played the demo god knows how many times. im not gonna go into details since most people have covered what i think works great. the cover system, the gun-play, the AI is fantastic, the graphics obviously. etc etc blah blah blah.

couple things i dont like much are the sixaxis intergration, it works, and it works well, but i just dont like having to think about controlling this virtual guy and the buttons that control him....while remembering i have to wobble my controller about when i throw a grenade....

and secondly animations, while i think 95% is flawless, theres are times when he will say, climb on a log, where there is an uncomfortable slide where he floats along while getting into place to loop his next animation. it looks strange, and even more obvious when the rest of the animation looks fantastic.

overall i love it. and will be buying it. its tomb raider meets gears of war, without feeling like a rip off which you've played a thousand times

and quite importantly for me. its an action game that isnt various shades of grey or brown (gears of war, resistance, killzone etc etc) its a pretty refreshing change.

Strange I thought it felt exactly like that.

different strokes

after playing more, i've noticed a few little touches that while dont effect gameplay do increase immersion and belivability, as you mentioned the animations are the obvious one. little things like the way he jogs around during platforming/exploration sections to conserve energy, then when badguys are around he goes into full sprint when he runs. or the different animations when he's in water, or the way dead bodies are actually physical things in the world, that you can actually walk on...or the way his animations alters slightly when you push up against walls just to keep things looking new, unlike gears where the "pushed up against wall" animation is the same for EVERYONE, whether it be marcus, dom, locust etc etc

then theres the enemies, who have a pretty big range of animations...ducking out of the way of your fire, lying down to shoot while prone. they really add to the game imo.

but as i was saying, its the little things that i've only just noticed like the way his shirt creases differently as he runs/walks making his shirt look like a shirt, not a textured solid model.

and i really love the texturing, not so much the resolution (which is high anyway) but more the surfaces they seem to have nailed. a wall might be shiney due to the moisture (its a rainforest afterall) but then the moss growning on it will have a mat finish...it all adds to the belivability. i dont think any game really matches this one at least in terms of detail. both texturally, but mainly the little effects.

it has a few jarring moments with the animations but thats mainly down to the fact the overall animations are second to non atm. it makes issues stand out more then a game like tomb raider, becasue they're so good 95% of the time.

and while it 'technically' might not have a better cover system as gears or a better platforming mechanic as something like tomb raider or prince of persia, i think on the whole its better then both of those becasue of all the other components of the game, from the graphics, art style, animation, voice action, setting, colour pallet etc etc. but thats just me, as i said in my previous post, different strokes.

heh, I was more than sold(already was) from watching videos of the demo. Grabbing the game for sure when I get a PS3.

I am Acert, and Acert is me!

*looks at average posts length*

actually, no that's not true.


Anyway, sometimes you got to make the hard decisions. Spend $200-300 on clothes so I can look nice and gets the compliments, or spend $400 on a Dreamcas...I mean PS3. I'm just plagued with these types of things.

I'd like to bring the debate back on to tits if you guys are cool with that.

I like big round ones myself.

wierd but ok

Its wierd that he likes big boobs ?
