Strofan7 commented on Review: MLB 12 The Show (PlayStation 3):

MVP 2005 was my favorite of all time too, and if EA could have continued making that game I have no doubt it would be the best available. But with the graphical strides and how many new modes and updates The Show provides I definitely have more fun with it now than the outdated MVP 05. (Even though 05 was also the last year my Astros were any good haha)

Strofan7 commented on This MLB Bobblehead Game Really Should Support...:

Ah this looks amazing!!!! Darnit Japan. I can't believe they licensed the American players for a release in Japan but not America?? Odd.

@hamispink it almost has to support Move. Last year they pretty much perfected every thing they already had, so they'll have to add something pretty big this year for most people to be interested. Move integration and an overhauled franchise mode seem to be the most logical additions to me, as franchice mode hasn't seen much change in years.

Strofan7 commented on Rumour: PlayStation 4 with Kinect-Style Contro...:

A new console in 2012 would be wack... I can't help but think Microsoft is gearing up for a new one as well since they are giving them away when you buy a new computer.

I'd be cool with a PS3 for another 5 years at least!!

Strofan7 commented on Sony Offers US Members a Year of Identity Prot...:

I disagree. Sony is shelling out the $$ big time to get this for everyone. I was a little worried about my info being out there but this definitely quells the fear for me.

I feel Sony users are going to make out pretty well once this is all said and done. Free identity protection for a year, free month of PSN plus, and I'd imagine some sort of free PSN game. All I lost was spending a few weeks of my time being angry at COD. I ended up going outside a few times haha

Strofan7 commented on Just When Is Child of Eden Coming to PS3?:

This game LOOKS fantastic, but in terms of a game I don't know how much fun it will be to me. So far it's looking like a bargain bin game.

Luckily they have given themselves plenty of time to convince me otherwise! haha

Strofan7 commented on Review: Yoostar 2 (PlayStation 3):

Man the ideas of this game all sound so solid. Shame the technology is a little off. If I had kinect I feel like I'd buy it, but for Move it just sounds like too much of a chore/buzzkill to play.

Yoostar 3?? haha

Strofan7 commented on Review: MLB 11 The Show (PlayStation 3):

Thanks man!

"It sounds like Move support was implemented to test the water to see how well it's received. Hopefully next season will be fully Move integrated; what else can they possibly improve outside presentation?"

My thoughts exactly! I still don't think Move will work well making a player actually throw every pitch, but I'm curious to see where it goes from here. And you're right, there is honestly not much to improve on at all. MLB 10 made the big jump, and MLB 11 finished it off.

Pheonix I'm sure you won't be disappointed if you do! My only words of caution are to do a little tweaking with the control settings before diving headfirst into the game to see which modes and difficulties work for you. There's enough variety to them that you could either love or hate the game based on your configurations.

Personally, I use the new analog pitching controls, but stick to the old ones for hitting and fielding. Also,when doing a franchise I like controlling every minute detail of it, whereas this would probably drive many insane. The options are all there!

Strofan7 commented on Talking Point: Should Move Controls Become the...:

I think it should be standard for all to have it, but to still have dualshock controls as well.

Oh, and here's what Insomniac really meant: "We are going to let Killzone 3 do the dirty work and see how it sells before making a decision."

Strofan7 commented on Heavy Rain Falls to Low Price on Greatest Hits...:

@zez same...i despise buying the red boxes. Luckily as the price drops in retail it is joined in secondhand sales. I'm sure you'll be able to find a used copy with the black label for around $20 very soon.

I'm curious as to this extra 45 min though...maybe have to try this version out!

Strofan7 commented on Shape Up with DLC for The Fight: Lights Out:

Yeah this is genius DLC. If you just want to dive in and fight with the 1:1 precision they advertise rather than spending all the time to get there, good for you. Games are for whoever owns them and I'm sure some people wouldn't like leveling up slowly like I assume you do.

Personally, I'd like to earn my way there but I don't have any issue with it being offered. And the other DLC for $5 seems worthwhile, I may go for it this weekend.

Strofan7 commented on MLB 11 The Show Only Supports Move in Home Run...:

Forget where I read it, but the developers hinted at adding more robust Move support in the future. For now I agree with GiggleFish, I'd rather have one mode with it well implemented than poor implementation elsewhere.

I think Move could work with baseball, but it could also trash a game if implemented poorly. And besides, everyone's first thought with motion controls is swinging the bat.

Strofan7 commented on Why Does Amazon Say PlayStation Move is Discon...:

Yeah this is just silly, Killzone 3 is right around the corner so they're going to do everything they can to get move into people's hands with that. If somehow Killzone 3 tanks (almost zero chance I'd say) then MAYBE we could have a discontinued talk.

Strofan7 commented on Features: PlayStation Move Buyer's Guide:

I have no issues with this list or the criteria for games, as the movemodo guys have explained all of their reasonings solidly. However, I am intrigued by the idea of giving games two ratings-overall and move controls. Any chance we see something along those lines?

Also maybe make another list of games that best utilize Move? I think that would be a nice compliment to this buyers guide.

Strofan7 commented on Talking Point: Why PlayStation Move Needs Unch...:

My immediate reaction is as long as I'm playing a new Uncharted game I really could care less.

However, I could definitely see Move working incredibly well with the game. I'm assuming it would be a late patch rather than incorporated into the game though. Sort of like a new life like Heavy Rain

Strofan7 commented on Sony Could Update Move to be More Accurate, Bu...:

Depends on the game. I feel The Fight would suffer from increased accuracy whereas a sports game such as Baseball would definitely need more accuracy to be realistic.

All in all, it doesn't seem necessary. The Wii on the other hand...

Strofan7 commented on The Fight to Get Patched with Transparency and...:

I wish people would edit reviews when major patches like this come out. This game has mostly poor reviews and sounds like this will clear up most of the issues.

MAG is a completely different game from when everyone reviewed it and seems to deserve much better reviews now.

Strofan7 commented on Kinect Control is "Cumbersome", says Creator o...:

I think this is going to prove dead on, kinect will wear off quickly. I don't really see any "must have" releases for it yet either.

That being said, I think it is going to be absolutely huge. Kind of like the Wii fad, everyone will be really excited for this and it will be what parents buy their kids...etc.
