Well, of course. Yahtzee's videos do all the complaining for them.ccesarano said:
I dunno what the problem is with 360 Bioshock. I've got yet to see a freeze or get stuck in the geometry. Maybe I'm just lucky, but that's generally the golden internet rule- the complacent and happy rarely speak up where the scorned and angered tread.
From the rumors/complaits/ect I have seen seems more a issue with the poorly built 360s, also seems there are some frimware issues with it, the 360 issues are a known problem and 2K is working on it, even if only 25% have bugs thats still acouple million people will have issues.
With the way the 360 is built sometimes its hard to tell what game is poorly made and whats not.
The PC version is worse off audio issues, video issues, random crashing above the normal fair of issues PC games have ,whats worse yet the mouse is broken they riped the 360 analog code straight to the mouse this game is such a port job its not even funny.
Also just because you don't have troubles with it dose not mean there are none,I have also seen the 360 cache issues first hand, with the way PCs and even the 360 is built problems are going to come up, however I feel the game just needed more polish time these issues would have gone up during that and would have been fixed at launch but publishers rarely do that.

they dropped it because they wouldn't get their 6X profit off of it if they spent more than 40-60mill, it needs a good 80-100 for effects and story that of coarse wont happen, well get something like DOOM *goes into fetal position*unabomberman said:
This is just stupid buck passing. First of all, I'm sure ALL forms of media lost a little bit due to Halo 3. Besides, movies all around suck right now. Seriously, it's all remakes and sequels, there's nothing original about it.
...Okay, so video games are kinda doing the same thing. Still, at least they try to innovate the product every time out and make vast improvements. Video game sequels on average get better over time, unlike movies, especially when the first movie was bad.
Besides, where does the movie industry get off blaming video games for it's problems? When a major movie is released, chances are it comes with it's own video game to go with it. On the other side of the coin, movies based on video games always seem to be the biggest draws at the box office. The movie industry should be thanking video games instead of blaming them.

Doom 3 fail(sold well)Lance Icarus said:
Quake 4 fail(didnt sell well)
Dues ex 2....(its dues ex 2,fail ail fail)
Dont even get em started on final fantasy theres been zero innovation in it for the last 2 or 3 games, the last fun one was FF9.
Games do tend to do better than movie seqaules,unless tis a movie like POTC or LOTRs a prupose built 2-3 film deal where quality dose not down the toilet(spider man and Xmen do not count, they suck seqaule wise LOL).
Point taken, but it is true that the games live on innovation. For Doom 3, that was it's immersive levels complete with some of the most atmospheric gaming of it's day. Quake 4 was...well...Quake. Not a lot of innovation there, huh? Also, I think the argument can be made for PoTC's crappy third movie. Face it, it really did suck. Movies can usually only go only about three before it's pointless. See Rocky and Star Wars.ZippyDSMlee said:
Also, I think we can all agree Final Fantasy is a freak that can be a jar of mayo for 40 hours and people will still buy the next game. It's like Madden for RPGs.
ZOMG! someone agrees wif me *hug*Lance Icarus said:
but really Doom 3 as devoured by its setting the level design so cramped the weapons so un fun, Alpha Prime is better.
I would not say Star wars is pointless the prequles are about as good as normal hollywood can make,POTC/LOTR is probably the best they can make for a action series, writing,swagger setting all very nice.
Games right now live on that same amount of consumer attention I am siting here doubting why I bought a 400$ video card, Bioshock is weak,MP fps are ultra realistic and not fun, Jericho is iffy at best, HL2 is like BS weak compared to what it should be, raven has closed its doors to fans and fu designs, ID died years ago so they virtually suck as a design team, epic s last good game the past I dunno 6 years is Gears I am just so disenfranchised with it all and don;t even get me started on console games, I have been enjoying gathering Saturn and DC games tho 0-o
with MS and sony playing so many games with the consumer I have turned off to them, the WII is nice but not worth over 300, same the the 360 really... I'd be happy to get a PS3 for 400-450 if they didn't rape features from it.
All. i'm saying is this is brilliant for the us. The Hollywood wants its money so it realises it needs to make better films, which is good for us. The game industry sure as hell dont want to lose money either so they make better games, so then we get good films AND good games.Its like Tesco Vs. Sainsbury's
