I'm still baffled how so many people are jumping to the defense of the used game industry. From what I've heard, MS wants to offer games cheaper online similar to Steam (I'll believe it when I see it, but that's the rumor). If that truly is the case, then I'm all for it. I can't fathom why anyone would want to continue to support a used game market that pays next to nothing for our games, and then sells them for a ridiculously huge profit. Now the entire gaming industr...
Great review.
I haven't read any of the Halo books. If I were to start, which one should I look for?
I never liked the Resistance games all that much. They just never impressed me and I agree with the article on that opinion. However, I can't agree that bundling the game with the system is in anyway showing a disdain for the game or a lack of trust in Insomniac. If anything, bundling a game with a console is a way of enticing people to buy the console. That's the way it's been since the NES and Mario/Duck hunt.
Glad to see this game getting some attention. It looks awesome.
This is a homerun for Microsoft. It's an easy, guaranteed mega hit for them and I for one will be right there in line, first day with everyone else. I know people like to hate on Halo, and a lot of them have pretty good points to make, especially with the later games. But the first Halo was a masterpiece and I, for one, am excited to get back into it.
I get annoyed when a game requires me to change discs, but considering you just have to do it once per disc during a playthrough, that isn't enough to make me decide to buy it on a different console. I think a game like this, with a strong multiplayer component, should be purchased on the system that you have the best contingent of friends on, whether that be the 360 or the PS3 or the Wii (lol, just joking about the Wii!)
I agree with you, as a gamer. That's the point of the article. From a gamer's point of view, Microsoft lost BAD. But from an investor's point of view they are taking a very sly, very smart approach to the current market. But yeah, you and every one else here are probably right to pass judgement on an article before actually reading it. That's a pretty smart way to do things. LOL.
Nope. In the article I said that Sony and Nintendo had the best conferences from the perspective of a gamer. The point of the article was not to debate that, but rather to look at which of the three companies is taking the least risk. If I had titled it, "Why is Microsoft Letting Nintendo and Sony Take All The Risks?" and then kept the text in the article the exact same as it is now, you would have been all for it.
Cut the inside of your thighs? What the hell does that even mean? So you agree that they made a decent grab at the youth market, yet you disagree that they are the more financially sound investment over the next year? As I stated in the article, I personally got more jazzed by Sony and Nintendo, but from a financial perspective they are taking some serious risks. I realize you are speaking from a perspective of someone tied to their personal feelings in the matter, but the debate here isn...
Again, Max. Did you read the article?
Did you actually READ it or are you just starting to scream because that's what you do?
Well what a shock - every comment I see posted by 'Yo Mama' is either a pro-Sony stance or a vehemently anti-MS one. Perhaps the corporate shill hat sits squarely on your head. Talkingship has been around for a long, long time. The site's never been a heavy videogame focused place, but more about having a good time and enjoying games, movies, music, or whatever. Perhaps before your next accusation about a site being a "generic, pro-microsoft" shill, you should take ten s...
