The media are biased against the 360. Sony paid the magazines off to give Halo Wars average scores. See what I did there?
I like the Multiplayer Report, this critique on reviews had some good points.
Well I'm not suprised they're planning a K3 right away after the cliffhanger left at the end of Killzone 2. That's all I'm saying.
Well Alan Wake might make a good survival horror.
MS not EA just published the recently released Platinum Edition. I think that settles who owns the rights.
What I think MS did was give up the rights so EA could publish the PC version in exchange for EA leaving Mass Effect2-3 as 360/PC only.
I'm sure Robot and the other Bonfire Studios will continue to make the RTS' we know and love.
I plan to support Halo Wars and show my appreciation to Ensemble. The demo sold me on the game and even though it isn't as complex as other RTS' I play it's still good fun.
I can't wait to read the string of "flops" that will be written in the open zone.
Playing Killer Instinct 2 as Fulgore was my favorite.
And they say Halo Wars milks the franchise........
And people say Halo Wars is milking the franchise............
Have you played the original Fallout's? This is supposed to be a post-nuclear wasteland yet you find raiders and cities along everywhere. A wasteland is supposed to be desolate.
Eden wanted to purify the water in a different way not the Enclave. The Enclave like the Brotherhood both wanted release pure water into the Wasteland, yet the duke it out over rights to push the button. I mean you have two groups killing each other on who releases pure water.
Really? The data affects how you look and the choices you made. Did you let the Rachni Queen live or die? Did you kill wrex? Did you sacrifice Ashley or Kaiden? Where you renegade or paragon? Did you do Ashley or Liara. And the biggest impact of the story is: did you let the council die making humanity the leading leaders or did you save them making them equal partners with humanity.
What I'm wondering is if the Geth is standing over the body Shepherd or is wearing his armor. It's hard to tell.
MS published the original ME, if by some off chance the PS3 gets a port, they will get a gimped version because they won't have the saved data transfer. Furthermore, this story is a trilogy with an integrated arc, its not a standalone story with each installment. Do you really want an incomplete story?

"Epic stories and convoluted plot twists are sacrificed for character customization and grittiness. "
Ya, that's what I felt about Fallout 3. It had one of the worst stories I had the pleasure of playing.
So 1.6 million by January 2008 is bad now?

"Crytek=PC developer. they dont have resources for console games ATM"
360 hardware is very similar to the PC.
"Epic=MS had a two game deal with Epic (Gears 1 and 2)"
Why make a deal when they can make more money on a multiplatform which happens to be a common fanbiy argument.
"Level 5=LOL, Sony is publishing WKC genuis"
MS published Mass Effect genius. Lol you can't even spell genius right and you question my int...
If only everyone had a crystal ball like you.
How could Crytek ignore the entire console market in favor of releasing Crysis only on PC? How could Epic ignore the PS3 by making Gears an exclusive? How could level 5 ignore the 360 by making WKS an exclusive? How could SE ignore the 360 by making FF13 Vs an exclusive? How could SE ignore the PS3 by making SO4 an exclusive?
I agree with you. I would rather play a game developed on the lead console over a port. Lets face it unreal engine 3 ports to the PS3 are crap. That said, when I do buy a PS3 I'll get FF13 on it.
If you PS fanboys really want Mass Effect invest in a 360 or a PC. If I want a game that's on the PS3 I'll buy one so I can get games such as KZ2, GOW3, and MGS4. And I plan to buy a PS3 to do just that. If you guys so desperately crave our games buy a 360. Plus if Bioware had to make a PS3 port the game would inevitabley get delayed. Unreal Engine 3 + PS3 = months of hard work. Bioware has no prior experience with PS3 architechture, be happy they're learning with Dragon Age Origins.
You know I don't have a problem with Gamespot's review of Halo Wars as it is their opinion but rather their inconsistency with their other console RTS reviews.
Red Alert 3 360: 7.0
Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars 360: 8.7
LOTR Battle for Middle-Earth 2 360: 8.3
Halo Wars 360: 6.5
And no one sees anything wrong with this?
