"This, among other things like Health Regeneration and global melee is why people say Halo innovated the genre... because it did. "
Uh, halo wasn't the first one to do this. How old are you? Halo simply made it popular, that's why YOU think Halo made it first. As somebody said above, Halo did for FPS on consoles what FF7 did for JRPGs in the West.
Probably. Whenever troll titles like that come out, I never hit the link and don't bother. But hey, at least you have to give them credit. It's harder being a troll than actually being creative by making worthy articles. Oh wait.
Oh god I just remember this is the same guy that ranted against sony fanboys, "tordavis". For some reason it reminded me about "HipHop gamer". See a pattern?
Next time, save it and report it as SPAM...
"360: Left 4 Dead, Gears 2, Fable 2 (viva pinata just misses 85% by one point) "
"PS3: LBP, MGS4, and Resistance 2 "
You missed Valkyria Chronicles, pumpkinpunktard. I bet you are not even interested in Viva Piñata, but whatever.
"Sony fanboys don't read"
Is this news? Is this an article? Or is this GARBAGE? I mean I could say the same about Xbox fanboys and Wii fanboys, but no, it's *exclusively* Sony fanboys, because everyone knows that Sony fanboys grew up in some other land and were born in different cirumnstances. Also, Sony fanboys are extremely different to Wii and Xbox fanboys. NOT the same. NOT fanboys. Because you know, not all FANBOYS are equal.

It became so cliched, that's what I hated about Gears of War. The first resistance managed to not fall into the realm of predictability, and seemed like a story inspired in some of Carl Sagan's ideas. However, R2 delved deep into the realm of pre-packaged market researched bullsh1t in order to appeal to the masses instead, just like Gears.
I expect the next Resistance to talk about how the primitive chimera or whatever constructed those towers millions of years ago is somehow r...
"what I said was that there already existed games that used them all, they just didn't use them as best as they could. "
And I gave you the chance to prove it yet you didn't. Where are the games that "already existed and used them all"? You fail.
"9.4 - im with K

If you did, you'd know that the port of the Orange Box on PS3 only runs on the PPU and the RSX, unoptimized. I.E. they "are not using as much" of the CPU as they can, they treated the PS3 as if it was a PC. That's why the game sucked ass on PS3. So yeah, they didn't use the processor as they should have, not because they couldn't get as much as they tried, but because they didn't use as much. That's what happens in multi-core computing.

Gamers want a good game. If it sells, then good. If it's good and it doesn't sell, can't you enjoy it? I wish I knew what happens with fanboys these days. It's like they enjoy games that sell because they sell and can't enjoy games that don't sell because they don't. Foxgod are you still alive? Well, is your brain alive?
Go to bloggingstocks.com if you wanna talk about sales.
I mean anyone that finds Halo appealing is because they don't know anything else. I know some dipsh1t who is one of my best friends (oh the irony I know) and he buys Xbox because of "FIFA" (multiplatform) and "Halo" (but only to play online, and he sucks). Also, the only other FPS he played before Halo was Golden Eye, and that's it.
That's your average/typical Halo fan. He's awesome and a good friend of mine but he fails at gaming.
Microsoft published Conker.
Microsoft publishes Gears, but they don't own the IP, and that's because publishing doesn't mean owning. Epic can do whatever they want when the contract expires. Same for any other game. Why would EA pay 600 million? Grow a brain, pog.
It's not on Wii, what a waste of time.
How many accounts does Nasim have? I tend to spot him immediately, but I lost count already. Why isn't he tired? Why does he keep making new e-mails? (Is that even needed?)
Tanod, larry007, tidus007, zimbo007 (I guess Nasim loves James Bond), etcetera. How old are you?
Does that not make it "AAA"? What is "AAA" anyway?
My favorite PS2 games aren't even "AAA", they are more like niche games that didn't sell sh1t.
Stop this non-sense, enjoy Killzone because it is the most intense experience to ever grace any console in terms of gameplay, physics, graphics and sound (as far as Shooters go), not because it got "AAA scores" that mean nothing
You guys know jack sh1t, this isn't news. How much do "hydrolex", "hip-hop gamer" and "Tordavis" know about hardware and game development? Wrong question. The right question is: Do they know ANYTHING?
Hey POG, Bioware hates money too? Anyway, you're saying Mass Effect's engine is not "your average Engine", which is funny considering your average engine (or should I say "typical"?) this generation is Unreal Engine. Bioware aren't garbage devs now are they? If Bioshock ran almost as good as the 360 version on PS3 with UE, then Mass Effect should have as few issues on PS3 as Bioshock had.
Then again, ME on 360 was a glitchfest so I don't have my hopes high i...
Tordavis, why don't you just admit that you're a 360 fanboy. Seriously, you're such a douch that you, like LaChance, think PS3 fanboys are somehow different from 360 fanboys. I've never heard such a big load of hockey before. By watching you go on and on about game sales for 10 minutes and 5 minutes of stupid bullsh1t I can only conlude you wasted 15 minutes of everyone's time. That's a lot of money there.
Anyway, 3rd party publisher financial statements have been published sev...
So suddenly "Metascores" are the ultimate metric for measuring games' quality and how a game should sell itself and the platform it is on?
Go back to school, Maybe you'll realize how judging a work of art or craftmanship by the summary of subjective numeric scores is ridiculous.
So the Wii doesn't suck then? Oh wait wait wait..
"BUT TEH SALES..!!!"
LMAO
Some people fail to realize that the fact that PS3 winning in Europe in terms of game sales (especially 3rd party game sales) is HUGE considering the value of the Euro against the dollar. Only Xbox fanboys will always fail to realize that, whether because they chose to or because they just can't by nature.
Xbox 360 may have sold more units and may have a higher attach rate, but strategically speaking, Sony has played their cards right. As you said, PS3 is speaking louder than ...
