Ok first of all, I can see no one read reviews.................... As far as I have heard the loading is not much, only between the 2 parts of the city and even that is pretty quick. I was going to read the full review on IGN but it was like over 6-7 pages long which in my opinion is a novel not a review but anywhooo.... All of the reviews gave it good numbers. As far as sales go tho I don't know, I don't keep up with those things.

Which of course makes you wonder why exactly they need to split an online document into multiple pages. The answer is obviously so they can put more ads in there.

I can't read those long reviews anymore.

IGN used to have reviews that were 2-3 pages long. Perhaps 4-5 on BIG games like Zelda OoT, Grand Theft Auto, and the Final Fantasy stories.

Now the Reviews are too long to read, and when you do take the time to read them you realize they are recycling information from their previews to make the reviews so long...sometimes they don't even rewrite that information.

A video game review should be short and sweet. Touching on everything you need to know but not going into extreme detail.

Agreed the other day i read a review on FF7 Advent Children and the guy practically wrote the whole plot of the movie. . . . . . . That was ridiculous you just need to touch base with the plot not retell the whole thing :/!

KDR_11k · « **Reply #304 on:** November 10, 2005, 04:45:05 AM »

Well, considering FFAC has a plot that'd fit on the back of a videogame box between the "Awesome graphics!" and "Choose from 6 Characters!" bulletpoints that really doesn't come as a surprise.

Darkheart · « **Reply #305 on:** November 10, 2005, 07:48:23 AM »

Ok let me reword that they practically wrote out the movie, rather than the plot point!

According to analysts PSP hardware sales in November were "surprisingly bad."

KDR_11k · « **Reply #307 on:** December 01, 2005, 03:50:19 AM »

They probably expected half a million units sold because of GTALCS.

Have you seen the new PSP commercial?

Badly hand drawn pencil sketch cartoon

Dustball 1 - :rolling across the carpet:
duh duhduh
:rolls up to dustball 2:
HEY!!! were gonna roll outside, wanna come?

Dustball 2 - I can't, I'm watching carpet.

Dustball 1 - Owww, but there is portable carpet.

Dustball 2 - You got to be kidding

Dustball 1 - Hey, hey, hey, have you ever heard of dustball kid?.

Dustball 2 - Not really.

Dustball 1 - Well believe me when I say there is carpet you can watch OUTside
:rolls away: Duh duhduh duhduhduhdun

Announcer - PSP, its like carpet, you can watch outside

-----------------------------

what the hell is that supposed to mean? Am I supposed to want a PSP after watching that or am I supposed to want to vacuum my carpet? I am confused...

KDR_11k · « **Reply #309 on:** December 15, 2005, 08:29:57 AM »

It's the perfect metaphor. The PSP is about as interesting as staring at your carpet. Except now you can do it anywhere.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #310 on:** December 15, 2005, 08:37:28 AM »

I just saw another one, same style as the first only this on was about 2 squirrels

S1 - "come out and play"

S2 - "I can't, I'm playing NUT"

S1 - " but theres portable NUT"

S2 - "WHAAAAAT"

S1 - "Yeaaah, it a NUT you can play with outside"

Announcer - "PSP, its like a NUT you can play with outside"

----------------

I wish I was making this up, but I've always thought my imagination was alot more creative than this...

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #312 on:** December 15, 2005, 11:49:55 AM »

They're showing THOSE commercials after Kurtagi has CLEARLY stated that the PSP is not a portable?

I'm shocked!

KDR_11k · « **Reply #313 on:** December 16, 2005, 05:15:51 AM »

SCEA doesn't agree with SCEJ. Not even on what button should do what.

I'm new to the forums side of PGC, so forgive my late reply, but that is hilarious. IGN was the first site I found when I got back into gaming and I love it to death, but the reviews were mind-boggling to me. I felt as if they used the manual as a checklist and reviewed every single aspect. I can only assume IGN writers get paid by the word.

I thought those commercials were funny. But I didn't want to buy the PSP after watching it. I didn't even know what the PSP did after watching it.

Sometimes advertisers get the idea that all they need is something catchy and funny, but its not true.

The Taco Bell dog never increased Taco Bell's sells at all while the commercials were running. Eventually Taco Bell decided to change advertising commercials because of it.

And now everyone and their flamboyant step-brother has a chiuaua. No one wins.

Actually Taco Bell got complaints from some of the Hispanic community that they were being stereotyped and pulled it. Perhaps that was a factor though.

Not to mention everyone went from thinking that it was rat meat in the food to dog meat.

I think they had to advertise it that way because they didn't have any actual games to show off on the system. They should continue to market the PSP to the crowd that thinks it plays regular PS1&2 games and DVD movies, that why so many people bought it in the first place.

^I can confirm that.

Now this is an interesting turn of events...

GTA Liberty City Stories to head to current gen platform.

Yeah, if you bought a PSP for it you'll be able to play it right now but man that sucks if that was the only reason you got it.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #321 on:** January 09, 2006, 01:04:27 PM »

Ahahaha, this is pretty much worse than PS2 getting RE4, except they at least waited until AFTER the game had launched to make the announcement.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #322 on:** January 10, 2006, 06:29:18 AM »

I don't think it's bad. After all, the PSP is a portable. If Nintendo made a graphically enhanced port of MKDS for the Rev would that hurt the DS? No. You can't play the Rev on a train.
