"
I just don't see how anyone really gains by MS exclusivi-ing (a word I just made up) Facebook and Twitter to gold accounts."
I dont see MS thinking there gonna convert many if any Silver (non paying) users into GOLD (paying users)
For me I will use these new features when I am logged into my GOLD account (6 years and counting)
What I feel MS is doing is adding 2 of the MOST popular social networking services onto the dashboard. I am sur...
"Well if its userbase wants to pay for two services that are otherwise free.
Then let them pay. Its their stupidity. Let them lose their money. they're not wasting our money, in-fact They're entertaining us!"
The userbase as you stated would be me...I am a GOLD member goin on 6 years!!! I have alot of friends who are in the same boat.
I pay no more then 35-40 bux for 13 months of live. Having added features (twitter/FB/last FM) I have not gotten a no...
No one is going to get a 360 to PAY for LIVE to use Twitter or Facebook.
Are you SLOW!!??? Is everyone who is making these comments SLOW.
Its a ADDED feature for existing GOLD memebers and new incoming GOLD members.
Its an extra PLUS feature that you will have access to as well as the other features..
Do you really think they are gonna MAKE any substantial amount of money from twitter/FB on the 360??
At the moment twitter and FB...
Its amazing how PS3 owners ...say they wouldnt use the feature..thats cool. But its real easy to say you dont need or wouldnt use a feature that YOU at the moment DONT have the option to use because it doesnt exist.
"Its like a condom..id rather have one and not need then to need one and not have it"
I own a 360 and will eventually get a PS3 so for me .... I would like the PSN to have everything Live has. Only can go by what I read but some games NOT having...
I agree with your comments.
Ppl ...on N4G and in general get so caught up in what a game LOOKS like and forget that it comes down to fun factor.
The replay theater in Halo 3 is hands down the best feature I have seen in ANY FPS let alone any games REPLAY system.
Name ONE game on a console that can top what you can do in HALO 3s replay theater.
I have used the replay theater to study yother players tactics (im not that good lol) and I will ha...
"The problem with Killzone 2 is that it has no personality. It's just the same tired ole war shooter. Nothing innovative about it. Same ole boring stock weapons with same ole dark war torn streets. The enemy is also pretty boring. If I told an 8 year old to draw up a bad guy he would probably draw up the bad guys in Killzone 2. A dude with a black outfit and red eyes. Killzone 2 is full of cliches. On the other hand Halo 3 has something that Killzone 2 doesn't have and that is imaginatio...
BINGO!!!!
I am in the same boat. I havent played H3 in awhile..but when i do....its a hell of a FUN game.
Ppl tend to lose focus on N4g that its a GAME. And games are intended to be FUN!!!
HALO 3 is a FUN exciting game and that is WHY it sold 10 million ..and COUNTING!!
I was wondering when someone was gonna bring up the advertising for the game. The adverts certainly helped halo3 break records when it released.
But if it was that simple all companies would pay out the whazzoo to advert there games.
Halo has a following and hype will help it sell EVEN more then it already would have.
The game released 2 years ago..the adverts are LONG gone and the game still sells over 20k a week.
I myself am not a halo f...
BINGO!!!
Its the same SIM game with an option for ppl who want too jump in and not be overwhelmed.
Hell I can let some female friends play it now.
It opens the game to more users. HARDCORE and CASUAL = MORE money
"Don't think your a sim if you have a rewind feature."
The REWIND feature is OPTIONAL! It doesnt activate unless you press the button LOL!
So playing GT5 or any racer on EASY. Does that also make GT and all other games NOT sim if you have an option too make the game easy ?
Answer...no game can be a true SIMULATION. If that was the case shouldnt we get hurt also when we crash LOL. Its a game...have FUN playing it the way you want.
Cheating??
Really??
Thats your opinion and I wont try and change how you feel abnout the REWIND Feature.
Its OPTIONAL. Its there for people lke me who would rather rewind 10 secs or so VERSUS restarting the entire race.
Let me ask you...if your running a 6-10 lap race and make a mistake or get bumped from behind halfway in the race....would you restart the whole race over...(if you had the option to rewind a fix your mistake)
i...

"The ground looks terrible"
How old are you?? I hope you like 12 years old or something because that has to be the dumbest comment I have seen all day.
Based on your LBP pic I will assume you most likely DONT even own a 360!
So I always wonder why comment and nitpick on a game your not even getting. (im jus assuming..I could be wrong and you do own a 360 and only want the BEST from F3!)
I dont own a PS3... ...
Its amazing how I could predict after reading this article that some ppl (PS3 pwners) will say this feature is lame or stupid etc. LMAO
I can bet a years salary if GT5 announced this feature in there game you would sing a different tune. But hey I COULD be wrong and you truly believe REWIND (a feature you can TURN OFF and cant use in online racing) is really lame!
I WELCOME "REWIND"!!!!
The reason I welcome it is....when I am racing I am doing ...
Yeah I feel you on that....
The question I have is...WHY 256 players??
Wouldnt it be as good with a lower number say 60 or so??
Im real curious about the details like do you have to WAIT in a lobby until it feels up to 256 ppl??
And say you only get 100 ppl in a lobby (if there using lobbies) will the game play as intended with 100 as opposed to 256?
WE SHALL SEE !!
I am also curious as to how this will all pan out. its BAD enough when you have 16 players NOT TALKING. let alone a larger amount.
I know its broken up into groups of teams. But I just see alot of matches not working out the way they intend it based on idiots just doin dumb stuff.
But we shall see....its one of the games I may get when I eventually get a PS3. I actually WANT it to be awesome as too make me WANT a PS3!!
I just LOVE how some ppl can call a very attractive woman average. Are you kidding me!??
Im not saying Olivia is the hottest chcick on the planet but compared to what I see on a daily bases she is above average.
And you know if you were out somewhere and she walked into a room you would be SCARED to talk to her...PERIOD!!
I was excited for L4D and played it..not as much as I thought I would.
I look forward to the sequel.
I feel ppl have the right to boycott...but IMO it wont make a difference. The game will be a hit and most of the 30k will eventually get the game.
Has there EVER been a boycott to a sequel to a very good game??
I wish there was a way we could track how many of the 30,000 did or didnt get the game come release...now THAT would be interesting ...
I have been sayon this from the beginning.
PPl are all caught up in the $50 million thinking it was just for DLC and too make a profit!!
QUESTION
1. HOW MANY MORE PS3s WOULD HAVE SOLD IF GTA4 WAS A TIMED EXCLUSIE LIKE IN THE PAST??
2. HOW MUCH SMALLER WOULD THE GAP BETWEEN THE PS3 AND 360 BE RIGHT NOW IF IT WAS A TIMED EXCLUSIVE??
3. HOW MANY PPL WHO OWN A 360 ONLY WOULD HAVE PURCHASED A PS3 for GTA4????
I can say...
....In my opinion which of course isnt FACT. LOL
MS did a great thing for them buy first off gettin GTA4 day and date as the PS3 (Sony REALLY dropped the ball in letting this one get away)
If MS wanted to pay $50 Million for excluse DLC and didnt make a dime of profit from it...who cares?
And also dont you think they had MORE in mind when they secured the DLC??
1. It keeps it OFF the PS3 (meaning some ppl will have chosen the 360 version ove...
Its not aimed at SILVER members to try and get them to upgrade. If the other features that GOLD offers didnt get you to go GOLD I doubt twitter/FB will push you to upgrade.
Scroll up and read my comments. Its much more then what your thinking...think BIG my friend!!
Its about having BIG names on your box. And at the moment Twitter and FB are HUGE in terms of name recognition!!
