Comment It makes sense... (Score 1) 330

Unfortunately, porting games these days is almost necessary considering the recent economy and downward spiral of the gaming environment.

That being said, it makes sense that some of the ports are poorly done â" a company is only going to put effort into a product they expect to do well. For example, an ultraviolent game would not, or should not expect to do particularly well in the Wii environment given the restrictions of the console (lower graphics) and the demographics of the people who use the said console.

Thus, I would expect the total effort on the developer and QA side would be focused on the platform where it WILL perform well and is why we have disparagements between platforms.

I tend to agree - I thought this movie was terrible.

It wasn't the production value or the acting, it was the general theme and overall distaste that the movie left in my mouth after witnessing a poor social commentary on how Humans are terrible.

First of all, if there were alien visitors on this planet, you really think that countries in the world would allow a slum to develop considering how important their presence could be? No. That should be enough to say the movie does not hold water in the sense of important allegory or self-realization.

I'm not going to tell you not to see the movie because I know there are people out there who want to see gore and destruction (which is why there are so many movies about the end of the world). But if you do see it, just realize you're not going to see it for a plot.
