"And I don't recall buying American being a republican or democrat thing, but I do recall it being an American thing."
Please read what I said again before trying to put words into my mouth. I said that you're sounding like someone that is from the right that is saying that I need to AGREE with you on what you believe to be called American, not that you have to buy anything from a certain country to be considered one party or another.
And I'm sorry, but thi...
You DO know that Sony has offices and factories in America, right?
And by the way, did you catch Obama's speech last night about unifying the country? Maybe you didn't catch that because you're rhetoric does nothing but divide a country.
Again, I'm unsure as to why that would disqualify anyone from being a Democrat or being an Obama supporter (Bob Casey is pro-life, and yet no one is b!tching at that position from him. He's an Obama supporter, too, so even if you HAD...
Don't fall for it, Doshey (AND EDITING THIS @ Action Bastard, as well). He still thinks there is a SDF/SPG conspiracy on this site and uses it ALL THE TIME when a PS3 story is on N4G. Just put him on ignore and be done with it. He's only flame-baiting so he can get someone else reported.
And by the way, there IS an option to show individual comments from those in your ignore list, so you can still opt to see those if you're really curious. I decided to look at this because you re...
Here's another question I brought up in another article that was posted about the DLC (and for some reason, this issue is beginning to get steam again, as there are a lot of articles about this lately): Could Rockstar pull a Square-Enix and make the exclusive DLC multiplatform? I have my reasons posted at http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-... (please read them. Contrary to popular belief, I rea...
Okay, GP REALLY needs to fix their site, because EVERYTHING went out of whack when they just sprung that new design on us (which I knew was coming, but the site was stable until the new design was installed). The design and whatever they are using to post news was not ready for prime time right now, so why did they think it was?
Something tells me that if this delaying BS continues, we'll see this DLC go multiplatform for a few reasons:
1. MS may begin to think that it wasn't worth it and just say "do whatever you want with it, we have no more interest", which would be pretty cool for PS3 owners. We don't know how this contract (if any) was written out, but this could be a bad sign for MS keeping its exclusivity.
2. Rockstar, and for that matter, T2, will be losing money (even that allege...
Well, again, nothing happens if you DO nothing, right.
In any corporation's mind, the competition is the "evil" (in competition-like ways, although when we see some of the crap that MS has pulled to "compete" this gen, one may have their doubts), and they are the "good" that are "doing nothing". It's a good quote and it did seem appropriate given the type of competitive behavior Sony has shown so far.
I, then, disagree with th...
...read my blog again and look up my many posts. I DO support Obama and hate that piece of crap that is running our country right now, and think that McCain is Bush-lite (4,000 dead in Iraq for f#cking oil so we can jack up gas prices. What a f#cking waste of a reason). Basically, on that, you're agreeing with me and thinking you're disagreeing with me.
And what does "Sony-worshiping" have to do with any of this?
This will be yet ANOTHER thing that 360 fanboys will go to as "proof" that the PS3 "doesn't perform well". I can almost guarantee they will pounce on this one and ignore any other details.
>> 1) Is this deal a "timed exclusive", meaning, does Microsoft have the rights to this add on content only temporarily, sticking Rockstar with a gag-order on speaking of any future plans for said content? (I.E. "Bioshock")<<
I have noticed that unless you are owned by the party that has made the console, no game is "married until death" to any one console for as long of a time as being told by a few people. Especially with Rockstar's gam...
I can see Microsoft getting about a million NDA's and a trillion dollars in cash to try to protect their Tecmo-published 360 exclusives just that.
EDIT: All that are thinking about the Tecmo multiplat possibilities now, don't be too excited just yet:
1. Remember that SE has been giving the 360 a good bit of exclusives and their only PS3 exclusive went multi a few months ago. It seems like, right now, SE IS siding with the 360 more and not giving Sony too much to get...
1. It's a damn PORT!! Why in the hell would people think that changing code and medium would make any difference.
2. It's not just the Blu-Ray that makes the PS3 exclusives what they are. It's also the processors and that. There is a reason why Kojima said that MGS4 was optimized for the PS3. There are more differences between the 360 and the PS3 than just the medium that the games are stored upon.
...go and force Valve to fix the PS3 Orange Box.
Well, I just write what I believe is true, and this is something I feel very strongly about in the gaming world. No one can win a war of attrition if they are not willing to fight as hard. I'm not even a Sony fanboy per se (I do not regret my decision about buying a PS3 in the least bit, and I don't like what MS has been doing and their mistakes this generation). Somehow, to these MS fanboys, all you have to do is to OWN a PS3 to be labeled, no matter what (and that wasn't directed at you, it...
So I criticize Sony for constantly acting like they are on the defensive and I'm still labeled as a fanboy?
I'm really not sure how some of you guys operate.
I don't disagree with you in the notion that it was overhyped. I only will disagree with you on two points:
1. I think it was partly Rockstar's fault for not putting in more things that gave GTA it's own flare for all those years. In short, they took out too much of what brought the GTA franchise to the dance. Give any reason you find appropriate as to why that happened (to which there will be, or already are, many), but that is the bottom line of it all.
2. I don't think t...
It has to do with social networking. I know how people will react to that, but look how much more vast the landscape of competitive gaming is because of the internets, and look how much more vast the entire world is now in making new friends. As much as the real world is, the internet IS the real world. It's only making your real world much bigger and is letting you reach places that you wouldn't otherwise be able to reach.
You would be able to meet those people you compete with...
Yeah, actually, EC was what I was meaning. EC would have to be DOWNLOADED (meaning that it WOULD be DLC). I do equate the two together in some way.
But yeah, it was episodic content that I was talking about, and it is something that we should really consider at this point. I do keep thinking that:
- Rockstar never said they wouldn't make episodes for the PS3, and has even said that it was very likely and to expect such. They want the game to last for years, and it's ...
The game was gimped on the 360, and at that point in time, the install base difference was much larger. By the time something like GTA5 came to pass (assuming that IS what it would be), the PS3 would have surpassed the 360 in install base difference if the continued monthly sales favor the PS3 like they did with the July figures. This would mean that by that point, the PS3 would have to be heavily considered to get exclusives. Did we forget, also, how many consoles Metal Gear Solid 4 moved, a...
Yeah, of course we'll get to gaming....
