If you didn't like the previous games i kind of have a feeling you won't like GoW3. I mean...you can certainly tell that it looks to play a LOT like the first 3 games :P

apparently it plays a lot differently once you pick up hermes boots, since you can essentially air dash and move around uber fast. combined with an as yet unanounced weapon, it's ment to feel quite a bit different. i can't imagine it'll change the mind of a non beliver, but it's worth noting.

You couldn't have missed the point more if you tried. We aren't saying we are upset b/c we don't have other options. We are saying it's insulting that they would charge for something like simple game videos. It's the principle of the business practice that is at issue, not the actual circumstances of the event as you insist on describing.

Everyone is well aware that you can get the vids by other means, but does that make Sony any less guilty for charging for something like this???
No. Fuck no.

You are arguing about whether it's a big deal in terms of the consumer's position. We are arguing that the principle of the business practice is, while not a huge deal overall, still a pretty cheap kick in the nuts. If only b/c of the idea behind charging for something of this nature.

If you cannot understand why some would/should be upset or annoyed by that then your not so subtle blindness for Sony products is far worse than I had ever thought.

but what i'm saying is that the issue people have with sony charging are surely nagated by the fact you can find the same footage elsewhere without any hastle.

if paying for the footage on PSN was the only option to watch the footage, i'd be right there with you guys bitching about it. since it would be completely out of order, but the fact i'm NOT forced to pay for it, and can watch it easily via other means makes it a complete and utter non-issue.

oh, and you realise accusing people of being a fanboy generally places you pretty high within that label yourself. if you wasnt you wouldnt give 2 shits what i or anyone else thought about whatever system. so please, grow the fuck up.

That'd at least make sense though. If you offer the only means of viewing said videos, then you might as well charge because people will have to pay if they want to see them. It just doesn't seem like good business practice otherwise.

That's some faulty logic and a fairly weak attempt at deflecting.

Your comment comes as if you are only want to discuss things for the sake of it,we are in a game forum of course I want to know what game, I mean I have to word by word say what Im talking about? we are in a freaking games forum talking about action games although GoW cant be named that but whatever.

Dude, you can't ask one question then complain when an answer isn't given to a question you didn't even ask. That's just fucking ridiculous.

But you know what forget it either way he is wrong and so as you concerning complicated gameplay if that means NG or Bayonetta,so I will leave that argument alone.

Tell me, how am I wrong? What did I say that could be considered wrong? For that matter, how is he wrong? Seriously, explain why complicated gameplay is definitely better than perfectly adequate gameplay in a completely epic setting with fantastic graphics....taking into account that not everyone enjoys the former.

tried out the demo last night, dunno if it was because of the E3 build, but I wasn't amazed, it's a rent for me now at best.

Bayonetta really did raise this particular bar for me. Didn't buy Dantes Inferno either ...

I decided not to get Bad Company 2.

The more I think about the more I know modern realistic type of games isnt for me, has to be supernatural elements (for example RE, Uncharted, Prototype, Alan Wake, Bioshock or sci-fi/futuristic or fantasy in games for me to get interested for starters.

This is pretty much my way of tought too,thats whay I find nathan Drake boring,if aint somothing out of this world or something fantastical I find it boring,Ryu gets a pass cause he is the Super Ninja :P

I dont find Drake boring IMO, but the idea of he is a modern and more funnier Indiana Jones with Tomb Raider style saves it (being in ancient sites, treasures, supernatural twists like creatures...etc.).

And everything about NG is supernatural, yes even Ryu.
Since when can ninjas do ninpos? carve a solid circle of rock and hover it up a few feet...etc. I see Ryu as a demigod but yet have to be showned fully what he can do (Near the end of NG1 was a sneak peak).

But you know, I have to Thursday on me if I am going to buy BC2 or not, who knows maybe I will change my mind the last second and buy it. Anythings possible ;)

jesus christ, after all i wrote you STILL missed my point???

everyone is well aware of it being avialable elsewhere, HAVING to pay for it is NOT the point. The PRINCIPLE behind the idea of charging for vids IS the point. It not being the only option has NOTHING to do with it still being a shit move on Sony's part. options aren't why anyone got pissed, business practice is why people got pissed.

As for the attack on my maturity level, trying to say that being annoyed by blatant brand loyalty is somehow immature or being a fanboy itself is probably the worst logic you have used so far. I could give a shit about the PSP or DS, i hate handhelds, but I still get really annoyed if someone says all PSP or DS games are somehow better/worse than the competition.

It's the PRINCIPLE of the idea that matters here agian. Starting to notice a pattern?

lol i guess so. But I still love my PS3 (probably more than the 360 ever since 2009) and Sony's ability to push proper huge budgets at their titles. I just get really annoyed at the uber-hype and brand loyalty stuff. Too much sometimes I'm aware lol.

This is what I needed, a proper combat footage from the latest built and as I expected its pretty decent.
I kept seeing 3-4 hits though, barely any of them more than 5 hits and non of them looked cool. The hit detection was too soft and bad, the bigger enemies didnt even react unless it was the heavy ground attack or non at all. Basically random hit detection, especially when the blades itself goes further than were the enemies are and the hit doesnt make any sense.

Scale, visuals, music is good but rest is decent.

But, IMO, I wont buy it because the combat will bore me quickly and the scale and visuals are something you watch anyways so I will check it out on youtube when people with proper quality footage has it up.

Agreed on everything the only good stuff are the grapchics and scale and like you said that stuff you only see it so a youtube watch is a nice way of doing it,combat on the other hand well.......what you said is pretty accurate so I will not add anything meaningfull at this point.
