Yes it did need posting. I conducted my own stress test. It's called 'My launch 360 died, my refurb was DOA, and 6 weeks later I don't have a replacement'. The stress test is to see how much stress MS can put me under.
This needs to be posted as it's just another example of value for your buck.
Gears was a fantastic title. I enjoyed it immensely and the Co-op with Dom was a blast.
What it got wrong:
1 - Checkpoints often occured right before a lengthy scene of Marcus chattering on the radio. Unlike other citscenes these could not be skipped and would occur right before locations where you were sure to die. This forced you to listen to his radio discussion time and again.
2 - Despite what Cliffy B wanted, too often you had to babysit Dom.

You can split hairs if you want slappie. A delay is a delay. I don't have an issue with it. I have an issue with this joke flailing over being attacked by fanboys when a 360 game is delayed. I could care less about the game per se as racing games don't mean a thing to me.
But he can't stand some ribbing. You also apparently are trying to justify his remarks which means you approve of the attacks on Sony (retarded) and his infantile remarks.
The problem is previews on various sites and one other review didn't have an issue with the controls. We aren't talking about fanboys disagreeing with EGM, though they certainly do, we are discussing other MORE REPUTABLE online sites than EGM/1up.
EGM themselves know there is an issue or else they would not have responded. It isn't like the magazine isn't in trouble financially...they are.
EGM is in the sweat box. If IGN's review winds up like their preview, if ...
There is the problem. PS3 fans hate HALO just like 360 fans hate Killzone 2. But gaming fans, well, gaming fans love both games.
Those with a modicum of maturity and intellect love gaming in all of it's incarnations and would rather experience the great fun of various titles than endure the experience of being a sheeple and a tool of some console manufacturer.
You are a dunce. I have a PS3 and love it. But my 360 is home to HALO and the 3rd iteration is set ot break a lot of new ground in the multiplayer deprtment. Single player? The graphics top anything Gears of War brough to the table.
You are one of those imbeciles that think more is better in the player number department. Sometimes there is such a thing as too many players. We found that out in SOCOM 3. It is about balance.
Very reasonable. Of course they know that and are undercutting it. Sony does the same thing. Then when you beat expectations you can pound the marketing drum. They deserve it. I enjoyed the hell out of the beta and am really looking forward to tanking the internet again.
Well Jokes on you, it looks like you can dish it but you can't take it. It was all fun and games when PS3 titles were delayed. Now the shoe is on the other foot and you are having a fit. I love it.
And pooray? Is that the best you can manage? How unoriginal. You have a forum open to the world and the best you can muster is pooray.
Since everyone knows these comments about the PS3 and AI are BS - the PS3 can use dedicated hardware - isn't this an indictment of Ubisoft Montreal and a way of saying 'Don't buy any PS3 games from us because we don't understand parallel processing and the games will be crap.'
Actully the guy is making a commentary about the incompetence of himself and the rest of Ubisoft Montreal. Other developers can do it, why not Ubisoft? I don't know if Ubisoft realizes this but he is maki...
The people trying to justify themeselves are the critics. Anytime that happens you know there is an issue. Usually critics do not respond to commentary about their review. The fact that they are, and are attempting to justify themselves means they are aware they screwed up and know full well their credibility is in the toilet.
But, it's EGM, wasn't their credibility always in the crapper?
It is precisely that - BS. The PS3 has hardware PPU capabilities for physics AND AI! Damn, how stupid can these people be? I love being a dual platform owner as each system has it's strengths but with hardware there for use, the PS3 could handle AI better. It amazes me how asinine these devs can be when they open their mouths.
If you have visited enough game studios, and some of us have worked in them, then you know a great deal of the time these trash talkers do not have dev k...
Idiots look at immediate price, whereas intelligent buyers look at value.
Take the 360, add the following:
HD DVD player - it's the only reason to have HDMI that MS is pushing
Larger HDD - I purchased a 250GB for less than the 360 120GB
wireless adapter
Play and Charge kit - PS3 uses a standard USB cable
Wireless Headset - PS3 uses any bluetooth cellphone headset

Computer to visit the website - PS3 can ...
PS3Fanboy's site may have a problem, but it isn't what most think. Because it is owned and linked by joystiq, it winds up seeing more 360 and Wii fans than PS3 fans.
