er, if I recall correctly, actually, Morganfell has been involved in the industry, first hand, though I don't recall if it was necessarily programming.

"What you said is the equivalent of saying 'If it's so much easier to make a bike than a car, why do cars go faster?' "
^^^^^
Um, the bike is the 360 and the PS3 is the car, and the speed is the power, if I'm getting the analogy?...so, what's t...
if you're speaking about me, seeing as how it's clearly in my bio that I'm into bodybuilding and have been working out for 6 years.
I never once said I don't like their games, and many people haven't (yes a few have, but most are commenting on their employees, not their work). I have the Orange Box for the PC, and I have GotY L4D 1 for the PC, I also have Steam with the complete HL 1 collection...so what's your point?
None of that answers Valve's comments, there's so...
@ Mindboggle...you can't tell me you missed Kotick shooting his mouth off and talking smack about the PS3 and Sony, and then pouring salt on the wounds by coming up with an overpriced Tony Hawk Wii-style skateboard, then the PC issues, then raising the prices (subject to territory on how much or if), then saying he wishes all games could cost even more...he's douche-primero and many people are speaking w/ their wallets. Not to mention that IW practically carried over a duplicate engine for MW...
it's the 360 fans, Valve didn't insult you, and any PS3 fans didn't speak about you, yet you are demanding relevance, so just sit down and shut up. At NO point were you brought into the equation, and PS3 fans aren't whining, all I see is them showing disgust AFTER BEING TALKED ABOUT. If people/consumers want to refute Valve's claims regarding the community they fall into, let them, I think they're a prime authority on THEMSELVES. Holy crap.
And another thing, how is it you are pu...
Are Turn 10 and Valve still doing that competition for the biggest d0uchebags in the industry? Who's winning now?
yes, I'm fully briefed on how you over the pond use an "s" in place of a "z" in many words. I could list literally hundreds of differences I've noticed in writings, literature, and slang, but this "abbreviation" slipped by. I've never been to Europe, let alone England, and conversely, I'm betting you over there couldn't pick out every nuance in our "bastardized" language. I'm sure it's a forgivable transgression.
I know I'm not stupid (as Hoggy likes to PM about), uninitiated about EVERY single characteristic of "British English" perhaps, but definitely not stupid. Trust me, I'm more educated on it than many of my fellow Americans, and I am man enough to admit a wrong, so I guess I stand corrected. Doesn't mean anything to me that I'm not perfect, I knew that, no eye-opening revelation there. Exposure is different from intelligence, and anyone here who truly is intelligent will know that. <...
it's odd that you cannot understand simple English: "maths" is not a word. I agree with the concept purported, that 100.4 % is attainable in statistical breakdowns, though, so whatever, like I said, no disrespect meant, but you kinda nullified your own intelligence-based argument (though I'll admit English may be your second language). Can't you admit that Kotick is a Sony-hating A-hole, though, he did kind of ask for it, if that does happen to be the reason, know what I mean? He's ...
IMO, and it explains everything considering, as he said, the attach rates...sheesh, there may be many gamers who have only so much money to spend, and with like half a dozen exclusives this year that were easily must buys, it makes sense, how else would you explain the nearly identical attach rates when calculating the time each console has spent on the market? You can't, that's how. Variety.
to allude to why I'm delaying getting this game: Activision are a bunch of a-holes and Bobby Kotick is their supreme commander, he's a douche amongst douches, and doesn't deserve a dollar from me just yet, I'm waiting for a bit before I consider that game. As to why PS3 pre-orders aren't up? I can only guess, but perhaps more PS3 gamers are either spending money on other games as has been noted, are a different kind of gamer (which is true), or the install base is a reasoning. This doesn't ev...
why this is # 3...there was SC, then Pandora Tomorrow, then Chaos Theory (all on Gamecube, btw, and I thought on PS2 also) and then there was Double Agent, so, if you're keeping track, this is #5, actually, but I know many devs/publishers count certain ones as an alternate in the series, not a true sequel. This was the case in GTA, you had GTA 3, you had Vice City, and you had San Andreas, and THEN came #4...so, whatever.
I am very eager to see how Conviction turns out, I've usua...
except that Sony isn't making Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream is, therefore, your analogy holds not one ounce of water. Move along.
is frustrated he's paying $4 a month for cross game voice chat and a good sleep at night.
Seriously, I don't see ANYTHING that justifies $4 monthly just to have cross game chat (and Netflix requires an extra monthly subscription, so you can't throw that in the bag), and, X-game voice chat's on its way for PS3. When you factor in the cost, PSN is MORE than comparable, you have no choice but to justify the price for Live for 2 things: "but all my friends are there" and vo...
before this article: $10 dollars I wouldn't have planned on spending, and knowledge that greedy b@stard will get another pair of silk underwear. I really like the CoD legacy, and it's games, but it is sad it has deteriorated into what it is now, a bunch of controversy and moral decision-making. The game was originally such a fun and engaging romp through virtual worlds of war and mayhem, and now look what Kotick has done.
this site because you're what now? WTF?
and there's your absolute fallacy and where you veer off the course of logic: You are so obsessed and so wound up tight in supporting ONE console or the other, all or nothing, to Halo or not to Halo...you think every 360 owner will either give up their 360 for a PS3, or get the add on...GEE, WHAT NICE OPTIONS YOU LEAVE. How rigid do you see this world, how black and white do you feel most consumers are? You literally aren't seeing past your own nose.
You do realize there are mult...
isn't he usually negative towards the PS3? Really, just come out with crap like "why water really isn't wet" just to start arguments...Really.
I'd never be naive enough to assume a game is flawless, just some games are swamped with them, and others are nearly void of them, and everything in between.
any entity, leave my preferences and respect opinions, but I have to say, after a long 22 months on this site, 360 fanboys are the most disconnected from reality and logic, the most unhinged and "broken" people, bar none. PS3 fanboys can get overzealous about something at times, become just as disrespectful at times, or bring up RRoD when it's not relevant to the topic at hand just to be funny, but then you get the Why Dis', Rampant's and Evrfighter's of the world who think up is do...
this is the second game of the IP ever, and there haven't been spin-offs. That's different than 3 Halo's, an expansion, an RTS, and yet another game scheduled for next year that isn't called Halo 4. Some people want more innovation out of Halo as time goes on, some people are sick of the IP, some never got into it. I actually like it, though, to be honest. It's subjective, but they're apples and oranges IMO.
some people are hurting Activision by not buying the game, they are getting a major cut after all, being the publisher. So yes, it has to do with the game quite a bit. IW may be hurt in the process, and that may or may not be sad, only because as I said, they're riding a 2 year old engine into this new release without major changes or upgrades, as if they're not worried about raising the bar, like they're riding their successes of the last game with minimal effort. That is how many people fee...
