.....that chances are for the next system they will make sure problems are negligible. I mean look at the first xbox, there were basically no major problems for the system and it WAS a sold system. So they screwed the pooch this go around. If nothing else, its a learning experience and they now know better for the next gen.
At the end of the day though, you cant let the roblems of this gen concern you for the next, if that were the case no one would have kept with sony after t...
...if Sony was ever in trouble, on a whim Bill Gates could alone buy SOny with how much money he has. I mean come on, these articles are all retarded to begin with but really, its not like if the XBOX starts to faulter that they will have to file for bankruptcy or face the possibility of closing its doors like companies past like Sega and 3DO and Atari.
You really think that, at the end of the day, Microsoft gives a flying FRACK about Sony? That would be like the steelers or pa...
Its bad enough to see that jackass on youtube now we have to see his ugly ass mug here.
Is what I was hoping to hear more about, I mean an MMOFPS title with up to 2 sides competing with 150 players on each side (300 total, take that MAG players) AND cross platform with the PC......that showing alone would have been great but, still more waiting.
Who cares if they drop the COD name? Most people who played 4 will know that it will be a sequel to that game and with so many people wating for it I doubt that sales will sffer just due to the name on the box. I mean really, who out here that is waiting for this game wont know that modern warfare 2 will be te sequel to part 4? Anyway, as long as the game kicks ass it could be called snot slingers 5 and I wouldnt reall care about that!
Bad press is better than no press. Even those saying they thought the trailer was lame are still talking about MW2 so, wether you liked it or not, it did its job, that is to get people to talking about MW2.
Had KZ2 sold more in its first 24 hours the H3, all those here saying sales dont matter and blah blah blah would be on here saying that itg would then be a proven halo killer since it sold more.
Now, does this go for everyone? No, but a majority.
And for the last time, much like movies SALES DO MATTER. Do you think like, with movies, there would be a transfomrers 2 coming out this summer if the first hadnt sold well? Look at Ironman, same thing. Now look at...
KZ2, while a good game, is FAR from one of the best FPS games of "our generation". All those complaining about 360 fanboys are JUST AS BAD AS THOSE YOU SAY YOU HATE!!!!
Once again, it doesnt matter how GOOD a game is in the end because it all comes down to numbers. Want proof? Well, have we seen or has a sequel been announced for wither Psychonauts or Shadow of the Colossus? I rest my case.
Also, yes, the NPD number only show TWO days of sales for KZ2 bu...
You want to know why the 360 fan boys are all over numbers? Well, as far as systems, the XBOX users had to hear it last gen how the PS2 was better and sold so many more consoles then the xbox and so on, when you have to hear that crap for 4 or 5 years, it gets to you (funny too how no xbox fan brought up that the only reason the ps2 outsold it was due to it being out 1 year before the xbox like you hear the PS3 fanboys saying the 360 is outselling PS3 due to a year head start).
...
....and saying a more mature crowd play it? I dunno bout you but when playig online you still get the same douchebags you get on ANY FPS game. Man, its as if those fanboys assume that since they pay big $$$ for a console they are automatically more "mature". I bet if more voice support was in the online games there would be as much crap as you hear on ANY 360 game.
Everyone, including in this article are making it sound like this game has been out for a couple of years when it hasnt even been out 18 months yet, jeez!!!
For the love of god, will some of you, like the hddvd dude please stop saying halo came out in 2006 because halo (3) came out september of 2007. GET IT RIGHT DAMNIT!!!
2006 was the year of Resistence 1, Gears 1, and the crap that wa COD 3!
Always amazing, a game stays exclusive, the system it does not come out on the fanboys say they dont care and the first sucked, if it goes multi, those same fanboys startin squirting j!zz all over the place and have nothing but joygasms.
Sad.
What the he!!? There have only been 3 proper Halo games so how are they mmilking it? Why do they get crap but square has released how many final fantasy games including spinoffs....20 or so (with 13 being proper sequels) and no one b1tches about that yet MS releases 3 games and everyone sztarts saing they are milking the franchise. Resdent Evil is on part 5 and no one b!tches even though there have been spin offs as well like code veronica as well remakes a plenty and a light gun game, and...
Nothing worse then when you come in here, say a game like KZ2 is a good game but you have some issues with it, and then a KZ2 fanboy jumps on you saying that what you found wrong is not wrong and that you have no choice but to say the game is the greatest ever. First off, I dont think a FPS can ever be considered best game ever since MOST (with exception like Bio Shock and Half Life) have very poor to super crappy SP stories and voice acting and I am sorry but, a game cant be called best ever...
Is even more important that realistic graphics. Case in point, Street FIghter 4. It takes an awesome direction in art and looks really good graphically, but not at all realistic (except maybe the backgrounds in some cases) since the characters are like hyper sized comic bbook looking but, its hard to find a more beautiful game. Hell, I think the stylized visuals in SF4 are far superior then the "realistic" looking world of KZ2. Why you ask? Well, if I want to see super realistic...
SOme of you people need to get a life. I mean no one here cant say they havent say talked to a friend and saying "hey, ive heard that game X that comes out later this year seems like it COULD be better than game y." I mean as the old saying goes, let he/she is without sin cast the first stone.
Judge a game on a game not what has come out before. No one is calling this a Ninja Gaiden killer or even a God of War killer because the gaemm is just trying to be itself. Noth...
the reason 360 fans are lauging at the numbers is because for 2 or so months they have been hearing how KZ2 will sink hal, gears, and the 360 itself which means, for it to do so, the only way to sink something is to outsell it. Now, though usually 1-2 mil in 2 weeks is great form a ton of games, when you have people hyping up something and say it will blow halo out o the water yet it doesnt even do half the number of halos sales in day 1, it will be hard for such game to sink another let alo...
...Rentals borrowing copies, used from gamestop. Think about it, even if 6 mil only were sold for 360, though it wouldnt make up 5 mil, you have people who rented it to play it, bought a used copy from gamestop, or (like i did to try before buy since i am a cheap bastard) borrow it from friends to try it out. Aso, you have people who being in guests to the online which register as a seperate user so, there are many reasons for it to be at 11 miil if you just stop to think about it.
One thing people tend to forget is that the rate at which compression is expanding (not meant as a pun) by the time the next consoles are out something that took a gig could possibly be compressed to like less than 100 megs and uncompressed on the fly. I mean the quality of compression as far as not loosing any of the original info is also on the rise.
One thing to also look at is flash drive tech. I mean you can get a 32 gig thumbdrive for less than or up to $50 now. If flash...
