I really think that sadly the only major difference between GAF and here is a simple matter of size. If the Bore had like 7000 active members at any given time it'd be just as distinguished mentally-challenged as GAF. Instead of one Methodis, there would be one hundred. Instead of one salesfag, there would be one hundred. Instead of a couple of scattered Nintards, there would be a thousand. It's all very frightening stuff.

Don't forget the draconian moderation.

The first 6 months of Xbox 360 were awesome. Dead Rising. Oblivion. PDZ. Kameo. Condemned. Others I know I've forgotten. But those specifically I played quite a bit. I spent ungodly amounts of time on Oblivion and Dead Rising.

NFS Most Wanted was fucking awesome too (I think it is way better than the 2012 Most Wanted game). I had a Japanese 360 (since the American 360s were next to impossible to find) and played a lot of Dynasty Warriors 5 Special as well.

The first GRAW came out in the first few months too. The 360 had a great start.
Oh man, I forgot about GRAW. That game was awesome. I still go back and play it sometimes. Yep. Definitely an awesome start.

Quote from: Don Flamenco on May 13, 2013, 09:32:33 AM
Dead Rising was the following August.

I know because I didn't like Oblivion or GRAW and had to wait a very long time for a new game, with a SF2 Turbo port to tide me over. I tried to get really excited about Table Tennis and it was good, but that didn't hold my attention for very long.
Oops. Yeah, you're right. It did come out in August.

I guess it just means the entire first year was awesome. I remember GAF going nuts for the table tennis game and I just didn't see the appeal.

Uno was pretty big for XBLA in the early months at GAF for some reason.

that's the game where dudes show each other their junk, right? makes sense.

However, i suspect most people thinking the games "looked shit" didn't get beyond Wallguy for PDZ or some of the early shots of Kameo.

yep. PDZ looked fantastic especially for the time, you really felt like it was a giant leap forward from the first xbox. The bright sun drenched rooftops of that first level and then going inside to that blue lit factory or whatever was looked great. The people saying the game was shit probably didn't even play it, they just looked at early screens on Neogaf or wherever and just wanted to chime in on group think orgies.

Lot of early xbox games suffered on forums because playstation fanboys downplayed them as xbox 1.5 stuff, which was just silly if you ever played them.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #3426 on:** May 13, 2013, 04:20:11 PM »

The early 360 stuff suffered on internets message boards because there was nothing to compare it to side by side; it was first out of the gate and was getting compared to what turned out to be a bunch of bullshit from Sony. Not gonna be the case this time, although I expect the durango and PS4 to be pretty much comparable. The fun will be in comparing weeeeeeeeoooooooooo games to either of them.

Himu · « **Reply #3427 on:** May 13, 2013, 04:30:18 PM »

Haha GRAW and Oblivion were the first next gen games I saw? I played them at Mups house.

Dead Rising, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey

early 360.

cool breeze · « **Reply #3428 on:** May 13, 2013, 04:30:44 PM »

Both looked uneven to me. I thought Conker had a more cohesive look to it than Kameo, even though parts of Kameo was clearly more impressive. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case for early PS4 and xbox3 games too; although, Killzone 4 looked like it has Resistance's problem of being consistently blah.

PDZ had great multiplayer, once you got past how badly it controlled. I didn't and still don't like Kameo. First played it on a friend's 360 and thought it was almost as bad as rare's star fox game; tried it again a month or two ago and still didn't like it. From there Rare's games got better with the Viva Pinata series and Banjo Nuts and Bolts. Nuts and Bolts is still my favorite 360 game.

Gears was THE big jump this gen.

Himu · « **Reply #3430 on:** May 13, 2013, 04:32:25 PM »

I think Oblivion was the first "wow, impressive game" this gen, while Gears of War was the first mind blowing game. GRAW was up there too.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #3431 on:** May 13, 2013, 04:44:52 PM »

Some PS3 games dont get the props either, like Resistance and Motorstorm. When I first got a ps3 after already owning a 360 I was still impressed by both, maybe mainly due to the fact my expectations where sat low by 360 fans dismissing both.

Now that I think of it I wasnt too hyped for last gen either before it hit, only after getting a 360 I was like woooow gaming is good again.

mjemirzian · « **Reply #3432 on:** May 13, 2013, 04:47:24 PM »

How does God of War 3 and Ascension compare graphicswise to other console exclusives? Those are the best looking current gen console games I've seen.

EA is doing away with its Online Pass program from this point forward, a decision the video game publisher says is partially based on player response.
“Yes, we’re discontinuing Online Pass,” EA senior director of corporate communications John Reseburg confirmed to GamesBeat in an e-mail. “None of our new EA titles will include that feature.”

...next gen consoles have very easy and publishers friendly used game block systems

As far as Rango goes,I expect a system that is fully under real-time publisher control.Internet required for blocking used sales--one time activation or always connected,time limit can be chosen.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3455 on:** May 16, 2013, 08:17:46 AM »

all EA's games will be always online. Which may explain the Sony absence.

expecting this for most publishers. EA clearly like the always online model even if they're not using it for the Sims 4

jeez don, you're over in the gaf thread telling radiohead americans aren't all gullible and you're over here believing vita's going to have a big show of unannounced titles at e3 and ea's cutting online passes has nothing to do with another method of blocking used

you can't have it both ways, my man

I'm not playing the declarative insider. I said that just because there isn't much announced for Vita, doesn't mean there's nothing to announce for it at E3, because that's where games get announced (so it's kinda dumb to say they have nothing to show at E3.) is anyone gonna disagree with that? and I was just positing something about this because everyone always jumps to the worst conclusion.

Valve changed their DLC terms a few years back so that any game on Steam with DLC has to have the ability, but not necessarily exclustivity, to purchase it on the Steam store. i.e. A Mass Effect suit can be bought in game, but you have to have a Steam version available too.

EA said nope.avi and removed all games like that.

They still put out 'complete' and GOTY versions of games (and The Sims for whatever reason)
