i hope you read this as i have to say
WHAT THE F**K ? 1 ??!111 :confused:
Tomb Raider gets 8 out of 10 and gets game of the month but its NOT the highest score
Dark Chronicle gets a 9 out of then and nearly gets 10 out of 10 but doesn\'t even get any other reward.
TR : AoD gets FIVE bloody pages
DC : gets 1 page (well one page if your lucky its half a page of text)
so i ask whats the Beef ?
TR is from Core
DC is from Level 5 (Sony)
so it cant be a lets give the sony made game more lime light, in fatc they game the sub standard piece of crap that is TR more attention.
anyway if someone could give me a answer thats valid , well that would be ok.

A backhander from Eidos perhaps?

The new Tomb Raider sucks.
-
why did it get GOTM?

The Official PlayStation 2 Magazine sucks an incredible ammount there reviews are the bigest load of bs ever - they are completely bias and are obvioulsy paid by the game makers, the only good thing about it is the playable demos.
-
:rolleyes: LOL. The OPM2 Benelux ( Belgium - Netherlands - Luxembourg ) is very good imo. I haven\'t read their TR AOD
review though. Anyways, there\'s also the Power Unlimited
mag here in Holland (which is rather good since a year...)
and they really felt TR felt rushed and clunky.
-
Which OPM2 was it from? US, UK?
Apparently TR gets a 6 in the AUS version.

I felt fookin annoyed at this months magazine cause on the cover of the plastic wrapping it said there were loads of new exclusives and they weren\'t in cause E3 never delivered the info and the demo disk was piss poor.I was looking forward to playing the playable demo of Futurama but it wasn\'t on.

yeah and what happend to KillZone ?
hey that reminds me
/me goes off to set-up another thread.
-
TR:AoD is a good game IMO.. Like 3 of 5 good.
DC2 is TONS better than TR:AoD, hell even the first DC was.
-
It gets game of the month bacause people recognize Tomb Raider
More people will buy a mag with a highly anticipated game character on the cover over a lesser known game that is better
How this could be a surprise to anyone is beyond my ability to understand
99% of all decisions made are made for their monetary values, not what right or whats wrong
if this was the case the USA wouldn\'t spend billions on weapons of mass destruction and space travel instead of helathcare and Social Security
-
Socialist!
:p
-
Funny how that works
Talk about spending cash on real necessities instead of pledging blind support and people label you a commie.
:laughing:
-
Not funny ddaryl, just definition. Hey. You can be whatever you want, I just want to be clear.
The American Heritage Dictionary:
Socialized Medicine. The provision of medical and hospital care for the people at nominal cost by means of government regulation of health services and subsidies derived from taxation.
Socialist. A social system in which the producers (ie. Health care, and all other products that would normally be dealt with through private enterprise in a "Capitalistic" society) possess both political power and the means of producing and distributing goods.
In other words, the .gov has controll of production and distribution of goods and services (like who gets into hospitals). In a perfect Socialist society, the common people are sheep, and the gov controls all. No need for ma and pa to open that store, the gov will handle it.
I don\'t want that. If you want to go down that slope, so be it. Kudo\'s to you. Just understand, that government handouts, and health care is socialism.

Following your logic would mean we didn\'t have a government at all if it were to you! so think before you make such statements

What?!?
Here is the US we have the Constitution.
It outlines the rights of the Citizens and the role of the Government.
Some duties of the Government include; protection of enemies, both foreign and domestic, esablishing laws and regulations, and others.
Not running the medical system, not providing homes, not providing checks to stay home and pop out babies, etc..etc...
Just for starters.
politiepet, I know very well how different government structures work.
Maybe you and ddaryl could exchange notes and come up with...um.. still ignorant responses.
Don\'t rock my boat. I\'m not in this forum to argue with half clueless ranters, that\'s for the OT forum and thats why I don\'t go there.
ddaryl is the one who steered this puppy OT, I was merely pointing out what Socialism, and Socialist policies are.
You think I\'m mistaken?
You think I\'m incorrect in making "such statements".
Fine. I\'m not here to educate you dolts.
But maybe you should study different governmental forms before YOU spout off your ignorant statement.
Go check out the Socialist Party platform, and websites for starters. There\'s a world of (correct) info out there.
-
It shows great ignorance to think that a socialist automaticaly is 100 % socialistic, that\'s just stupid.
I consider myself socialist, because my opinions are mostly in that direction, but that doesn\'t mean I have a purely socialistic thougt pattern.
however the way you state it, a socialist has to be 100% socialistic.
which would mean, that a liberal (the opposite) which I think you consider yourself to be, would be purely liberal, thus wanting a country free of governments
-
and if you want to start offending me, then go screw yourself, I tried to be polite, but if you\'re going to start like that, you can have it!
-
Man.
Where did I say that if one has Socialistic ideas that they are 100% Socialist? I didn\'t. I was pointing out the ideal, and what would be under a "pure" Socialistic society. I never said anyone here was a pure socialist... just the specific IDEALS mentioned. So I displayed no ignorance there.
And it was tounge in cheek too... notice the ( :p )
And as far as insulting you goes. Calling you ignorant on the subject may have been a stretch considering you only wrote a couple lines on the issue, but your statement to me was at best a misconception of what I wrote.
Sorry if it offended, I just can\'t put up with people putting words in my mouth. How in the world did you get to the conclusion from my statement that I would be in favor of NO GOVERNMENT?? My statement was about Socialism, and what would happen in a purely Socialistic society, I make no mention of MY government preferences. Even if you infer, correctly, that I favor capitalism, there is still a role for government as outlined in the US constitution. So yeah. Your statement was ignorant, being that it lacked facts. Sorry if I call a spade a spade, but you put words in my mouth, and I don\'t appreciate that.
The "Dolts" remark was for the people in general in the OT forums, not you specifically:p So now they can all hate me too.
Regardless, I was in a pissy mood yesterday and while I am not using that as an excuse or justification to my harshness, it admittadly did temper my response.
We disagree. Fine.
*Commences screwing self*
:)

I have a feeling this argument is being fought over a misconception, I never meant to state you would be a pure capitalist, and I understand what you were trying to say. I have a hard time explaining my point of view. Let\'s just say, we both aren\'t wrong and it\'s a matter of opinion. No hard feelings!

You know the feeling of things in your mouth?

I agree politiepet, lets just drop it... and no Emp, I ain\'t talkin about "it" being pants:laughing:

Most of the OT Dolts support your views, Cygnus. I don\'t know how you got the idea that you\'re a voice in the wilderness. You should come back and hang with Tyrant, GigaShadow, Ace, Bozco, and many others would would agree with you. Sorry, but I\'m the exception.
Given the choice between allowing corporations to make profit-based decisions about what treatments I\'m allowed to have, placing my life in a cost/benefit analysis, charging unrealistic rates for simple medical coverage that becomes unaffordable for lower income individuals, in order to support obscene profit and growth rates,
and
Allowing our chosen government representatives to negotiate affordable rates for ALL US citizens regardless of their income, employment status, or medical history,
I would like to try the "socialistic" model for a change. :) I\'ve spoken with Canadians who have sampled both systems, and they LOVE the Canadian system. I don\'t think you\'re going to find too many people who have lived under a socialized healthcare system and were unhappy with it. You will of course find many spokespersons for healthcare corporations who will badmouth socialized medicine because it jeopardizes their profits. That\'s to be expected though... :D

HEEEEEYYY... Was that a shot? I think that was a shot!!
:laughing:
Eh? I may Core.. I do tend to prefer going to sites dedicated to political/world events rather than an OT forum for videogamers, but maybe I\'ll poke my head in again... :cool:
-
What was this thread about again?;)
-
I do know that one of the editors at Official PSX magazine is trying to promote Same sex couples to it\'s readers, therefore I discontinued reading a magazine whose editor(s) try to sway public opinion their way on controversial topics that have nothing to do with videogames.
-
Here here Clowd.
...and they also (PSM) made a point to say that Kharg, in the new Arc the Lad game was racist.
Racist videogame characters in an RPG!?!? (BTW, Kharg hates the Deimios-- Demon beigns) Too sad...
I\'m letting both PSM, and OPM subscribtions lax. They have become too PC (politically Correct) for me. I don\'t need thought police in my videogame world, I get enough in real life.
:)
Oh... I think this thread was about cloning or something ;)
-
/me kicks everyone who has posted in this thread in the bean bags for hi-jack\'n it ! :mad:
