... the frat boy test?... are you kidding me?
MS makes you pay out the yang for the most mundane of things and excessive prices and you all find ways to justify it nonsensically.
An online gaming magazine has ONE demo for it's members and you turn your noses up like tulips but conveniently forget that Qore only brings out 0-1 demos a month while Sony's PSN brings out 7-15 FREE demos a month.
Yet you'll over look the massive amount of FREE demos EVERY PS3 owner gets (which isn't the case for Live) and focus in on...
#1 Editorial gaming sites e.g IGN etc
PS2 - 50 Million in NA
Xbox - 15 Million in NA(less than actually)
PWNED!
And you say NA is xbox country? pffft, HA!
I'm BUYING this outright; No pre-order stuff. Just put down full amount and wait in bushes for feb27
I've kept from watching ANY game footage on the net or even reading about it for the past 4 months now. I want my experience with this game to be the purest it can be once I get it in my hands.
This will be glorious!
This is console gaming not PC gaming. You want M/K? get the PC version.
LAIR is still selling at a $49 rate at Best buy
Look, over 90% of "100 issues" are just tiny technical things that a vast majority of gamers didn't even know existed. You all are trying to make it seem like every step you take in the game is a glitch or problem.
100s of thousands of gamers are playing this game, in NA alone, on a consistent basis while you all just stand looking for some kind of exclusive to enjoy outside of Geow.
When you have people soaking up over 100hrs easy on this game (a shooter) ...
And this is just 2month of open beta. Can you imagine the stuff we'll be doing on HOME 2,3,4,5 years down the line? Yeah, where all the haters now.
Keep on hating haters, we'll just keep on PS3 gaming. Wait 'till you see what they've got in store for E3 HOME space. When I told people last year HOME was going to be a system seller I was laughed at; just keep watching.
A miles stone?... are you kidding me?
So over 50mill with franchises like Mario, Grand Turismo, GTA etc etc are what then? Oh I get it, iz teh halo so it's the first FPS, first online MP & first ever video game >.>
Halo1&2 sold 15mill combined... how did that help the xbox compete with less than 25mill on the market? Question is, how will halo3 help the 360 this gen even with 10mill sold?
What the hell are you talking about?! BFMEII was built round a controller; Endwars was built round a controller AND specifically for consoles; Midway Battlestations was built round a controller
This isn't the first to "build" round a controller and quite honestly does nothing new for console controlling RTS games that hasn't already been done.
That's just hype talk, dont' foolishly fall for that stuff.
If not for them we likely won't have had Killzone II in this form that we see now. Their support of KZ1 made this possible. Gosh, scares me to think how NA editorial reviewers could have so easily robbed the gaming community of this master piece.
... I wonder how many other incredible games we could be gotten as sequels to first showings of some games that were dogged to hell by NA reviewers. Uhmmm..
No, you just give MS an extra $250 on top of the money you already gave them for their console EVERY GEN.
millions will just like they did the first one. Hate all you want, this game's predecessor sold in buckets and this one will too. Not a fan of the game cause I never played it but hey, it is what it is
I HAVE NO CLUE HOW YOU CAN DISAGREE!! ARE YOU GUYS KIDDING ME!?! roflmao.
DUDE! that's like saying "hey, last year I got a U grade but this year.. I GOT AN F! YAY for me!!!" -.-
Did you do better? Yes. Did you still bloody fail? yes. Is this really that hard to see?
... YOU'RE MATCHING YOURSELF AGAINST A FAILED PRODUCT! Is this so hard to comprehend?! REALLY?!
This is how MS stays in business with it's crap products and shoddy services; People like this keep supporting them. Wow is all I can say.
The 360 is only outselling the xbox at 3mill at the end of year 3 with the xbox doing 25mill at the end of year 4.
HOW THE HELL IS THAT A SUCCESS?! Have people's standards really gone to pot since MS entered this industry?
Hell, when the PSP was selling at 25mill with the DS ahead with 55mill, these same people were talking about it being a failure even though NO handheld had ever managed to get even 10mill goin up against Nintendo's hand held but this is considered ...
... so video games are an art but you shouldn't get "too artsy"? The stuff we consume from columnists etc in the past 5 years has become nothing but vomit.
