Glitches? This makes me worry a little.
As long as the gameplay is that trademark Halo gameplay, I'll be happy.
For those saying "Wait for ODST", it's not like it will sell consoles. Halo 3 didn't even sell consoles in the immediate aftermath of it's launch. All the console sales influenced by the Halo 3 or ODST launch were sold 6 months or more ahead of Halo 3... same way people bought the PS3 because they felt like they were investing in FF13.
You know what? When it comes out what model of 250 gig drive they are using, people will be able to clone their current drive into a new drive, expand the partition, and boom... 250.
Money is the root of all evil, huh?
They earned their money. It's Microsoft's to do with as they please. You don't think Sony did the exact same thing by buying up first-party studios? It doesn't matter if the police commandeered your car or a joyrider stole it... regardless of your bias, your car is still gone...
Learn what, jut420? That strategy is what put them where they are.
As an Xbox owner, I don't feel bad. I really don't care about what's exclusive and what's not. I have all 6 platforms (3 consoles, 2 handhelds, and a sweet PC). I play whatever I want.
I'm glad to see more gamers get access to games. I'm glad to see companies able to profit from multiplatform games. I'm glad to see continuing competition in the market.
But you have to recognize that...
I participated in a Goldeneye tournament at PAX and I realized just how poorly that game aged. I mean... seriously. I won't argue it was an important milestone in gaming history... but not FPS at its best by a long shot.
I'd trade Medal for Battlefield in a heartbeat.
And honestly, anyone who challenges Halo's place in this list has no clue. That's like saying Dragon Quest isn't in the list of all time top RPGs. Or Battlestar Galactica isn't in the list of top sci-fi TV shows. Or Lasagna isn't in the list of top Italian food. SURE you can find something "better" and even have a defensible position, but you're in denial if you think it's not a highly significant development in the hi...
I don't want to call MAG a Halo-killer because it doesn't deserve that pressure. I have high expectations and I honestly hope it does well. I was impressed with the solid controls from my time with it at PAX, and that was the one thing that Killzone 2 was missing the most.
I have no reason to doubt MAG, unless the fanbase starts doing something stupid.
Oh, and I have my code already. And I have one extra code to be given away tomorrow...
Vegas lives off people who think minor victories are significant. You put $10 into a slot machine and get $1 back. At least you made the little light blink and the bell ring... right?
Either way, I'm happy that PS3-only users are getting the chance to play these games... but don't think this is where the console war is won and lost.
Sorry to crap on the parade of "Sony Rulez" and "pwnt" comments, but is selling even more consoles at even more of a loss really the best thing for Sony, financially? (on the other hand, do they really have any other choice?)
And on top of that, comparing sales the weeks before a well publicized price drop with the weeks after... of course, the percentage change is going to be huge.
I honestly expect the PS3 to sell "well" now, but up t...
Honestly, anyone can justify the cash for XBL. The question I would ask is if you could improve your internet connection by taking what you pay for Xbox Live and paying for a faster connection from your ISP. I'd be hard pressed to do something with an extra $4.16 a month at my ISP, but it's possible.
But at the same these comparisons try to pigeon-hole one aspect of XBL and suggest PSN offers something comparable. Honestly, there are too many variables to really make a valid, ...
A list of released games? Is that the best they can do? I've learned by getting burned. And unreleased games are highly volatile.
And @PS3PCFTW: Hey, turns out you CAN use the argument that PS3 is selling better than 360 when you ignore their first year. Because the PS3 multiplatform games lag behind by a year, too. Why don't you sit on that and show it a good time...
Being a lawyer requires a flexible sense of the truth. The lawyer that took this case is a man I do not respect.
360: Official Antichrist of the Church of Obama. Condemning children to entertaining games since 2005.
PS3: No longer the go to brand of gaming.
No, seriously. PS3 has lost ground if "the playstation" is no longer synonymous with gaming.
And Obama can keep his universal health care. I'm sure he wouldn't have to use it...
I'm looking for as many disagrees as I can get. And I know how....
I like Halo 3: ODST and I'm in the Open Zone!!!
Sigma 2. Really? A half-assed port of a 360 game? A Team Ninja game with the blood nerfed out? Can you really consider that a contender?
I really don't care what the PS3 fanboys want to say. I'd replace Beatles or any of the driving games with ODST.
You masochistic driving sim fans can kiss my buttes.
And where is Heavy Rain? Too non-traditional for you?
360 doesn't need a stinking web browser. The PS3 and Wii browsers are BARELY functional. A browser on a console is nothing more than a novelty.
Why do you children insist Microsoft waste their time on such a useless addition? Too scared your mom will find your porn links on the family computer?
No. Wii cannot compete with FPS games. I don't care how much you want to marry Samus... using the pointer to turn is NOT an acceptable solution.
