Modern Warfare 2 Navigates A Sea Of Second-Guessers

MadMinstrel — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:46:05 MST

If they don't care about this small, but vocal minority of PC users, why bother to release the game for PC at all? While I do not care about the underlying technology all that much, all would be well if I could have my low-ping 50 player battles with my friends, as I had with CoD4. I they're stripping that out, I'll just have to put my wallet back in the pocket. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

@electroshockwave: Nintendo has shit all over us "hard core" fans lately, only doling out little bits and pieces while flooding us with extremely shitty 3rd party party games. #wii

@Noodle-Works: Apparently you weren't around when Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time came out. Wind Waker was a different kind of shock so Twilight Princess was naturally a much safer return to form. #wii

@mwjw696: I played GOW 1 & 2 on the PS3 and they both play excellently. My PS3 has partial HW backwards compatibility and aside from a few graphical glitches in the early days it has played flawlessly for me. #godofwarcollection

God Of War PS2 vs God Of War PS3

DrXym — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:42:04 MST

It's not so much God of War remastered, as God of War recompiled. I bet very little was done in the way of retexturing for the re-releease. Perhaps the start screen, the Kratos model and some of the more offensively lo-res bitmap textures were improved, but other than that I doubt much was modified. #godofwarcollection

@sits: because then it potentially would really look bad and take a lot of work to rectify: textures would stretch uncomfortably and hit detection would be off. They probably said that #godofwarcollection

Why Do You Think Some Games Are Hard?

ZenGaijin — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:40:09 MST

Hard now and hard back in the day are two different things. The last time I felt a game really gave you a good old school Challenge was in the original DMC3 yet that game was attacked for its difficulty rather than praised for it.

Old school games like NES Ninja Gaiden, Contra, Castlevania, Battletoads hell even Metroid were completely unforgiving when it comes to difficulty and those are some amazing titles still beloved by millions. Completing games back in the day was never a sure thing so, when you actually did finish one the level of accomplishment you felt was unmatched.

Nowadays made are made to be completed by everyone so the difficulty is scaled back so that more people are able to complete the game. #nightnote

@AtticusSP: True, but if that's the case, why pirate it? . If a million people pirate it, it suggests there is still massive demand for the game. If nobody bothered, well imagine the shock to see the drop off in sales AND players. That'd be a real 'back to the drawing board' rather than "ah they still want to play it? Turn the DRM up to 11". #modernwarfare2

Halo 3 ODST Motorcyle Helmet Perfect For Headshot Protection

bog_god — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:39:38 MST

If they made it available to the public, I'm pretty sure it would only be used by scooterists, not motorcyclists. (Yes its a goddamn word!) #halo3odst

God Of War PS2 vs God Of War PS3

mariospants — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:38:41 MST

Well, it's about as good as you could expect, definitely a noticeable improvement however it exposes the seams a little (notice how his hands - which used to look more convincingly like they were holding things or climbin ladders - now see to "float" in space a bit). Also, the brighter, less saturatued colors can be compensated for by adjusting your TV. #godofwarcollection

Modern Warfare 2 Navigates A Sea Of Second-Guessers

Gnarkiller — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:32:29 MST

Quick question about the night vision goggles. Whats going to happen when someone using them stares at a bright light (like headlights ,for instance) while wearing them? If they are real night vision goggles they will intensify the light a thousand fold.. That's how night vision goggles work. They intensify light in dark, near blackout conditions. Military applications have a sensor that when it detects sudden change in light deploys shutters faster than the light can damage the human eye.

I bought a night vision monoscope for playing paintball at night about 10 years ago that cost about $600.00. It did not have a shutter. It strictly stated in the instructions to not use it where it can come into contact with bright lights as the user can have permanent retina damage from that.

What exactly do the goggles included in the game do? I really haven't seen too much info on them. They are probally just a set of cheap binoculars with a green plastic film on the inside of the lens.

Does anyone have a link describing the goggles? #callofdutymodernwarfare2

@peacefuloutrage: It's not only lack of advertising they complain about. More important is how indie games on XBL are crippled. You can't play them offline, demos have to be max 7 minutes long(which kills some games), I don't think I could download any of the indie games before downloading some strange file that I didn't even know existed.

Futhermore once you play any normal game it gets bumped up on the list of recently plated. Not so for indie games. It always sticks there with the time of the download, so after few days you can't run it quickly and confortably. I have one nice and simple game from XBL Indie games that I would like to run for few minutes of fun every day. Unfortunatelly sometimes Xbox takes 5 minutes just to populate the list on quick launch-all games menu... 3 core system...

Well, it would be nice if Indie games would get exposure from time to time on the insider, but it would be nice if indie games had less of massage simulators... I guess one can always take promotion in his own hands. #trials

Rock Band 3 Will Teach You How To Play Proper Music

Eastwing — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:27:51 MST

So essentially we're being told that the next rock band is going to be exactly the same as those god awful "learn to play the guitar" DVDs, except with reasonable music?

Sounds good to me, plus with the price of a real guitar, this should be cheaper too (though the advantage is that you can actually play REAL MUSIC with a guitar once you've learned to use it...) #rockband
