why do i even bother??

I come to this site alot, but why, i have been for years...

i come here for answers on certian things and for opinions..

yet everyone posts their opinions as facts... which is ignorant.. they forget fact from opinion, and obviously most people forget that perception is the main filter that everyone has between "reality" and what they view "reality" to be.

granted post your opinions. that i dont mind..

but do not confuse them for facts.

out of the thousands of posts i read in here.. only a handful can even remotely be considered as facts.

though everyone thinks they have a fact to state...

the power for the want of money seems to ellude them.. and the power to rebel just to rebel seems like a lost concept to them, even when they are doing it without even knowing.. or following the crowd, not to be an outcast.

then try to sound "intelligent by calling others stupid."

out of the 10 million people posting... 9.7 of them are insecure... to the point of bringing down others "if only in their mind" so they dont feel so alone..

well my opinion is not fact eg crysis is a technological advancement and new ideas in game play ai has its ideas but if you play it like outher fps, using guns only against ai you ll be amazed on how mediocre it looks in terms of shooter and thats my point that the combat in the game aint pretty as a firs person shooter and the toughness of you character the koreans the nano koreans and weapon damage plus the innacuracy dont make sesne in terms of proper fps you just cant decide if its realllistic or not , but it has its cool ideas like jump cloak throw blow up a vehicle by shooting a gas tank, those are some tactical ideas but if played normally with guns its not proper fps!

another example halo was not a great game but one of the first and superior xbox games with superior control so it became famous in xbox fans, later people start to claim its gay and say gears owns it, however gears is another x360 game that was one of the fisrt x360 games with superior graphics and control in x360 that just like halo meant nothing to pc fans when it came out, its not a great game you basicly move linear with no story no psychics its short and combat system about taking cover is dumb becasue you unload ammo to enemies and they unload at you, always shoot you and not your squad mates so you aim to someone who is taking cover waiting to stand up to nail him and you take hit before even stand up and guns are weak, and basically kinda dumb eg sniper rilfe with 1 shot in 200++ era and takes more than one usually, doesnt make sense, many games eg mass effect have done it better so gears doesnt have a proper combat system and in a few years people will call it gay just like halo

another example i said crysis warhead 5 hours, well ok at least ill got gta iv that has more replay value and the relply was this

RIDICULES POST

CRYSIS>>>>>>>>>GTA IV gtaiv was boring and i spent more than 1000 hours in crysis and fallout 3 can be completed in 40 minutes

ok now how fanboy was that how crysis got more replay value than gta iv and hot fallout 3 can be completed ib 40 miuntes but crysis warhead not? that was a total fanboy opinion not a fact or thos mgs4 1.0 crysis 10, sureeeee do i have to take those guys seriously cuz no matter what i say they stick with their own opinions like there are facts, i siply say to him open ended freeplay games got more replay value than fps and thats FACT not opinion, and he replied thats opinion not fact, users and critics dissagree world wide i said and he said stop postion your opinon as a fact, lol my opinion is not on my posts only facts are eg i hate riddick and thief 3 but there is nothing wrong with them unlikely the fact is that crysis bugs up and has bad ai desgin not bad ai sripting, but people keep saying no it has great ai, in what terms i ask, the reply was about realism and i dont uderstand how the strafing koreans with overattted buggy reactions look real or how the 10 miles acuuracy with machinegun is good ai and not just a script, since your shots land different thatn theirs, overall all fact and opinion differ

eg silent hill the game worth aboput 7- 7.5 nowadays but it was a huge advancement in psx but if you see it as a game it has proper beggining in story but the endings.. also could use some more weapons areas and monsters over all a good game, great in techmological advancment scary, but in terms of just being a game its not great, eg the bad controls, over all i give it an 8 consider both good and bad points depending on era the advancement the greatness of the game and all so all i got to say i always take everything in mad and not post my opinion by ignoring the rest

the point about crysis is how mediocre weapon based combat looks the advancement of this game is high and the tactical options it adds but if you give me a firearm and enemies only(basic formula for fps) i rahter play something else when it comes messing with the world its crysis allright, but people wanna simply decide for them selfs like dead space review, so the game is great, and i said i am confused the review is like the preview allright but the latest on the spot said different stuff and the fans dissagre, but am confused so tell me is it scary or not and why not a 9.5, lets go ign, ok the show some stuff answer my questions and show me some of letdowns of the game, reviews should not be opinions re- viewing what they promised us, and saw us the good point and bad points over all i do not accept awesome or sucks as a fact thats opinion i wanna seee the game deeply i suggest you look around for facts and not the opinions, cuz no matter how logical someone is he has its own bad points and good points and ignore the bad points in a game he doesnt like, that applies to everyone, but slightly no to me but people hear what they want to hear only to defend your opinions, well i dont wanna hear anymore 9.5 i want to see the flaws in the game reviews so i see some professional reviewing quality and when they show us the bad points am more prepared and i dont care anymore since they just tole me what the bad points are and not fake promise, eg stalker they say that efter 5 years the game will be huge with open ended world, well its short far form fallout 3 and the worlds is pretty moving forward, whats promised is to move to the dead city just like fallout and have quests but its a back forward fps and not fps rpg so it should be called like that survival fps and not rpg rps, plz if they prepare me ill react better, but in clear sky they said yes its buggy but people ignore that the new stalker has much bigger and believalbe areas and upgrade guns system with better story, how its worse? now that could be my opinion but i dont really know, eg they say grenades are too accurate, duh are they noobs? and i said know they just land alwasy at you and blow up at the time they land, ok thats a bad point!

see i kinda agree with what you say, and this blog was not about you, thenewau25, it was about all posters. i didnt even have you in mind lol.

but i agree about halo 3 things made halo a good game(to me).. first. console fps done right... so i agree there, 2. music, love the music, but i am a musician myself. 3. the story but only if you read all the books as well.

now im not a fan of crysis, i believe it is nothing more than a GPU selling tool, seriously the game came out almost a year ago, and not one computer can play it at 1680x1050 completely max settings, AA and AF full. at 60fps, not gonna happen. much less at 1900x1200.

next.. i hate gta, always have i believe it to be more overrated than any other franchise in gaming.. but thats just me..

i love the Metal gear series.. from the MSX all the way up to PS3, and MGS4 was one of the best next gen games i ever played, read my review of the game and you will see.

now silent hill... i dont agree with your post, silent hill is amazing..
completely destroys resident evil in my opinion. but what i like about silent hill, is the music, the story and the endings. the mood, the endings were fine, if you could understand them, though i am a musician and a poet so it isnt that difficult for me, but would be for the mass public.. lets not forget taht Akira Yamaoka the games musical composer for all the games. is also the story writer, and producer of the entire Silent Hill Series. so the games are created from a musical aspect unlike most games.

but alot of your posts make sense and if you look hard you will see that i have sided with you on most of it..
im not a crysis hater, but i see where it is more business than gaming. and gta is crap, but hey if you like it more power to you..

its not that i dont like open ended games. i liked morrowing and oblivion, and stalker, and looking forward to (the precursors) and (prototype) if you like open ended games you might like those.
but replay value is in the eyes of the gamer.. not the public in my opinion.. so crysis can have higher replay value than gta, to me it would but i hate gta, but lets say that to me silent hill has more replay value than crysis, simply because the mood and music in silent hill intoxicates me.
but you are not beating any fallout game in 40 minutes (fact) and crysis doesnt deserve 1000 hours on it (opinion) crysis is a status symbol, hear me out on this... people like crysis because they can say i can run crysis on high at such and such resolution.

but i feel you man, not many people can in here, but i do, although we may disagree on somethings.. like silent hill and gta, but mostly i agree with your posts.
Posted 10/14/2008 9:33am
well ill start by silent hill ofcourse the game beat resident evil series that aint even horor my complain is this a little more epic ending in story wouldnt hurt or a few explanations its survival its horor re 4 is an overated mixture of survival and action no horror with a FAR AWAY of the horror theme, just shoot the villagers with the dynamites and miniguns, buy guns..ouch it seemes more like kill the 998 zombies like an action game, next thing i know i run at blair witch the previous res alone in the dark and silent hill to find some paranormal horor, silent hill was a technological advancement horor and everything, and beats re series but not a 9.5 like "classic" more 9.5 like psx i just think it ends too soon it needed some more areas in it some epicness playing 2 now love the paranormal cretuares can open the safe box, lol anyway re4 get the ratings for the stuff you can do and how long is and the minigames sidequests that are in it and make it longer unlike most horor games what i mean is silent hill took me 5h 45m 1s well...

crysis for me is a terrible in terms of fps shoot koreans with guns but it has so many stuff like blow that track by shooting the gas tank kill em all has the story graphics but the problem is its unbalanced eg explosive weapons are more effective to soldiers that nano soldiers, in fact shootin with autos is better than using sniper against nanokoreans,(HOWEVER YOU CHARACTER IS WEAK) duh i tohugh they said cheap knock offs, so crysis is more like a guess on what you CAN do and CANT do eg can i shoot someones leg and make him fall down like cod4 , nope, but you can use a greande to blow up a vehicle and kill everyone on it, while you cant cook the grenades or blow up nanosoldiers with grenade lauchers, jsut spent ammo, also you can shoot tires and gas tanks but not climb up a damn boat and experiance crappy ai, the ai can do this that and being so stupid at times like scripted movements than make them ignore you and play unrealistically, what the point? they said play with the ai dont shoot them so i repeateadly threw a stick to a korean lying at the beach, i was going there cloacked pick it up and again, wtf? in the end i threw a rock to his head and he said ouch and not reacted, 3, 4 times... nice ai.... or they say have freedom, sure cant find another way into the village mostly the island is too fake like a level not lika a real island you jsut go to the paths so someone tell me whats so great about this game to blow upt everything that can be destroyed? just tell me that and ill expect it, i like the first e3 videos not the actual game also compared with far cry level are death boring!
Posted 10/15/2008 8:45am
for me halo gears they are both x360 like fable, cant fine much of fun in pc, just not for the pc fans

gta? i like a lot one of my favorite games vice city, why? the 80s the characters voice the music the style seemed more like just have fun than killing also i mod EVERYTHING the story the radios the music the vehicles the names the buildings the guns the people, its like creating your own car collection, well i was young then not much fun now, eg the city was small, mostly id say i loved racing around the nice looking areas, san andreas? well i hated the control and the gang wars but it has its parts like eating clothing dating gym, hold on am i playing grand normal borring life? so there was shooting but i hated pc control nothing to do with gta vc it had its points like HUGEEEEE game world so manty stuff in gta iv there not even villages and country side...and retard countryside or highway crashing... i kinda hate sa but it had its points that we dont see in gta iv, the only reason i wanna paly gta iv is cuz of the 10!!! well this game GOT to have quality allright...so i wanna try it but mostly i want bully something diffirent

metal gear is perfect story mostly the first was the bset in story gameplay needs some improvements to toadys standards thats why we got twin snakes, but in terms of story i didnt like 3 for one reason, what the hell does it have to do with the previous its like picking people and throw em in the mixer

what i wanted to see in stalker was fallout 3 but it was so simple not much of story or huge levels or some basic skills a dissapoitmnt for me but the second looks whats promised, well atleast it has real firearm ballistics, about oblivion i got to try it its not that amazing but i played morrrowind which was HUGGGGGEEEE and unique story areas universe creatures but too much rpg i got tired of reading and find the way to your quests, si i dropeed it but the map was huge alllright, eg just cause had huge map and very nice looking but the game wasnt that much, still better than todays crap, another awful but wide game boiling point, so alll i got to say far cry 2 and fallout 3 i hope they gonna be my redemption

prototype trailer was epic but gameplay reminded me the quality of spiderman, not much hype too

the precursors i am looking forwad for this game but "no more secrets no more lies" its low budget so its gonna hurt or take like 5 years like stalker and turn into something else!
Posted 10/15/2008 8:46am
yeah i feel ya, just we look at it a little differently.. but i am looking forward to huxley and precursors.. and i love games with great original music being a musician..
and i love a mood, the length of the game doesnt bother me as long as it was good.. but hey atleast we can talk about this unlike in the forums calling each other names and such.
Posted 10/15/2008 12:23pm
well i got some looping in sound issues in silent hill 2, compability? maybe but silent hill one run fine, i gave you the link right? so if they want they can make mgs4 run better in pc if they only willing too and not take our money, my info on huxley is outdated cuz of too much multilayer focus, fill me in, also ever heard of project offset?
Posted 10/15/2008 3:00pm
oh to help you for your looping issues, there is a patch for it... google silent hill 2 sound patch... and you will find it, had the same issue then it worked just fine after that.
and yes you gave me the link. thanks i got it bookmarked.

as for huxley, not much new info in the past 8 months, except that it is a mmo/fps/with rpg elents, and its inspired by the book, "A brave new world," by Aldous Huxley. 2 sides, 2 races for each sides. pvp-pve, both only major cities are no fire zones, and you can go into different battlefields.. up to like 50-150 (rumored 200+) in battlefield meets unreal meets style fps action, with mmo base.. with a rpg elements building weapons.. augmenting them, augmenting yourself. armor.

like there is this mod you can attach to your pulse and when you die it sends a signal to blow your body up, a few seconds after you die... kinda like marty dom, but cod4 has super small maps compared to this. so wont be near as annoying. build your characters stats and whatnot. different visions, starlight(nightvision), infra-red, thermal.. and whatnot. have high hopes think the setting could be very interesting.. im reading the book right now. trying to understand the base of the story, that way i can relate better to the game if it ever comes out, if not still a good book lol.
high hopes..

and yes, i almost forgot about project offset.. alot of people talk about crysis best graphics and whatnot, but i honestly think if done right this game can give it a run for the mill, and between you and me, prolly perfrom better while doing it.

i remember seeing several videos on it.. like running down those stair with the bow and arrow, that was clean... and that troll looking dude, that sword, the lighting the sound, although i know sound and that was awesome, i thought to myself after seeing the first vid of it for the first time, that it was a game i could lose myself in a fantasy realm in, i just hope it doesnt get cancelled, or anything like that.
Posted 10/15/2008 10:34pm
hey im not sure, but i believe this was the place that i got the sound patch for SH2.. http://www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=2054
Posted 10/15/2008 10:40pm
i havent tried the patch yet but huxley remains, will be sp? cmpaign or something? offset we better dont talk about it i dont want it turn like crap or canceled like tiberium, lol ea has standards, about cod4 well i loved the story and weapons ai was i miss i take cover am an extra in an action movie, so it was fine for a simple shoot em fps, hope quantum of solace is ok too... i hope... anyway it was linear and super small levels but could never get enough shooting legs and make them fall down ohh yeah, i also like the story, if it was as long a 2 will be awesome but "sigh" i gave it an 8.5 since its not that awesome after a while and seeked shelter in frontlines fuel of war sp that its kinda simmilar!
Posted 10/15/2008 11:09pm
no huxley i doubt will be single player if it is it will only be for the very begining. im sure you can go off and do your own thing, or whatever, but there will still be people around like wow, as far as the campaign they have let us know nothing about it,, but webzen NA north america, finally got right and have been hard pressed on getting this game finished and out, they say by end of 2008 but i doubt it. yeah i like the quantum of solace demo, you and download it but i dont remember where. but i just hope they take off the 30 fps cap in quantum of solace, it was there for the demo, might not be there for real full game so, hoping, i always loved james bond.. and the games too. so i want a good bond game..
Posted 10/15/2008 11:28pm
also i would love to play a good Aliens vs. Predator, mmo/fps/with rpg elements... that would be clean... picture a predator you could create from scratch, and over progression in the game becoming higher level. you get better stuff.. like clean helmets and visions, and bad ass equipment. and the aliens to sneak around like the preds.. but crawling/running up and down walls, and on the ceiling and whatnot. getting faster stronger as you increase your level. city and jungle massive levels, and on other planets..
not to mention the space marines as they fight for survival during all this... i would love to play this... if done right.
Posted 10/16/2008 10:19am
well i want epicness in any case there gonna be alien colonial marines and borderlands hope i find something there, good idea about predator, id go for a fallout mmo or a oblivion mmo,lol epic fights,i continue not to understand why every game evevn quantum of solace has better cover combat than gears of war... anyway x360 fanboys i guess, quantum of solace didnt even work for me broken file probably not impressive but hey it has guns cod4 engine and cover its ok in my book!
Posted 10/16/2008 1:56pm
that was quite a salvo lol. i do agree though im much of what you said. thous we should not agree too much, it creates little progress. hope you dont mind me tracking you
Posted 11/26/2008 2:07pm
This is hypocrisy at its best. Here you are stating your perception on how "everyone posts their opinions as facts." How "97% of posters are insecure." Where did you get these so called "facts"? Who are you to say what is fact and what is not? Do you speak for the majority, for the all? Do you really think you have the right to put a shameful label on everyone based on your own experience? Just listen to yourself talk (or "type" if you so prefer). You are your own object of disgust.

kaitanuvax

carry your own scewed senses elsewhere.
lol, i dont think you understand... or if you do your just mad cause i struck a nerve, cause this prolly labled you to a tee.

secondly there are no such things as rights... if you honestly believe there are, you have a lot of learning to do.
