One of the greatest.

Please check your facts, before posting. You are wrong. Ive already proven that critics/reviewers gave HS great reviews.

Sure, and HS is doing quite better than Lair, because from all accounts, unlike Lair, its actually playable more than frustrating. But by and large, there is near unanimous agreement, including the OP, that HS is shallow and simplistic, and I've read several reviews that say "Just rent it". That doesnt make it a bad game, but rather a bad purchase.

You miss the point entirely.

 

[CasioTech]

no I didn't. It was stated that games are where movies were 10 years ago, in special effects. It is you who missed the point.

Sony sent out a Lair's Reviewer's Guide ( http://ps3.ign.com/articles/818/818597p1.html )full of helpful hints for reviewers on how to play Lair.

Then either I'm blind, or you're delusional, because I dont see anyone who said that, anywhere.

Haha, god I hate Marketing people..

 

[BD2003]

Yeah, that "404 - file not found" sure was a hoot. Damn marketers!

Wait.. what ? You are comparing special effects in movies to games ? That doesn't even make sense.

Even comparing movies created on computer, games are still a long way off from this little flick that came out in 1995.

 

[CasioTech]

yeah, but considering it's real time and doesn't take hours to watch a second. We are light years ahead.

 

[CasioTech]

edit, there are tons of equally/better looking games than toy story out right now.

The OP doesnt have the game, nor does anyone here. You cant review a game, with a 5 minute demo.

Feel free to show me the "several reviews" that say to "just rent it". Ive already linked more than a dozen reviews that gave it very high scores.

Uh... There isnt one single game that looks better. Has the animations, etc. Carmack may be a very good programmer, but he is way off when he said we'd have graphics like Toy Story in ten years. He even admitted it.

 

[CasioTech]

fight night round 3 pwns toy story. Maybe not in animations (small things that can only be tweaked in a movie) but damn that games looks real from far. Not far from real.

 

[CasioTech]

what makes you think I don't have the game?

If it was as easy for me to link those reviews that say you should rent it as it is to link the entire lot, I'd do it, but I just dont care enough about the topic to bother.

Toy story was never intended to look real.

Negative. You cant, because there are not several.

Once more, someone saying something to help their agenda, and cant back it up.

 

[CasioTech]

HAH. Not that they could make anything look real back then. IT's easier to work with animations that look like that.

Well, can you please explain to me what my agenda is then?

I thought I was just posting out of boredom on a message board, but apparently my lack of inclination to deeply research a post made in passing is giving you the impression that I'm a subversive agent sent to destroy something you hold dear to your heart.

I assure you thats not the case. You wanna claim victory or something? Be my guest. Theres just no need to be such a dick about it.

Terminator 2's CG looked pretty damn good and it came out in 1991..

 

[CasioTech]

not really. It was pretty tacky. Also, there wasn't any special effects except the metal of T1000 which just looked like shinny goop.

Pretty easy to see your agenda was so put down the game.

I dont care about "victory", its not about that. But dont go slandering a title, or just in general making false statements when you have no facts to back them up with. You claimed several reviews said it was a "rent only title", when in fact, you never read these alleged reviews. There was really no need to say it, when its not true.
