Talking about how much the 360 sucks doesn't do anything to resolve the current issue with this game. It may make you feel better, but that's about it.
That's a thoughtful and insightful post. Especially compared with the tempers and emotion floating around now.
I don't care what the scores are, really. And I don't see why Gamespot should be considered the Holy Grail of gaming websites. I played the demo and I liked it, so I'll get the game. It's also something that my kids can play.
Can you point to the page in the video game rules of engagement where that little tidbit is written?
I'm not really anticipating Uncharted all that much. Assassins Creed is probably the one I'm most looking forward to.
I'm really not interested in what the top selling PS3 game is. That doesn't factor into what's going on with the 360 in any way. My post wasn't intended to be a PS3 vs. 360 comment. I have both systems, there's no need for me to take sides.
Vavoom, there was no reason for you to go on your anti-PS3 tirade there. In all of that you didn't make a compelling statement contrary to what I said. All you did was bash on the PS3. Aside from Halo 3 and Mass Effect, what games are going ...
I'm for completely ignoring this fool. Responding to his self-inflicted rage and butthurt only empowers him. When we quit caring about him he stops mattering.
After playing the demo I don't care what the reviews say. I'm getting this game.
I'm sure that there will be a rumble version once they get a Sony-branded controller to reverse engineer.
I downloaded the demo forever ago, but I still haven't played it.
I hope that this never happens. Competition is what makes for better games, and as it is games don't really compete head-to-head because the tastes of the consumer is so diverse. We need technological innovation to drive game innovation and a single, unified platform is just not going to provide that.
Only one of those games you mention is exclusive. The 360 needs NEW first-party games because a library of year-old software isn't going to carry the system. Sorry. I love my 360, but Microsoft really hasn't announced anything new and exciting.
It looks to me like the Xbox 360 needs more games. I know that the PS3 has gotten a bad rap for not having the software support that it needs, but the 360's holiday lineup isn't exactly looking pristine, either. I have Halo 3, and it is a good game. I'm looking forward to Mass Effect, too. But what else is there?
Microsoft needs to step it up. They need to cut the price even further considering the box is now two years old and they need to put out some killer software. And it ...
Good article. I think a lot of what she's saying makes sense. The Xbox 360 is in Sony's crosshairs right now, and when the $399 PS3 hits it is going to cause waves in the video game market. I honestly believe that a lot of people have been waiting on a price cut to buy the PS3, and now that there are games like Heavenly Sword and Ratchet and Clank available we're going to see the PS3 start to flourish.
I do believe that Microsoft could pull out the stops and keep the lead, thou...
Does it really matter what a video game protagonist's sexual preference is?
It should be reported out the wazoo. Unverifiable forum posts as news? Give me a break...
I would have gotten Transformers on Blu-ray if it were available. But it wasn't, so DVD for me.
That's too bad, really. Online multiplayer would be cool.
It's funny you mention that, considering most of the trailers for both GTA4 and Assassins Creed are shown running on the 360.
But if that's what you want to believe, go right ahead.
In my experience the PS3 is only good as a DVD player over HDMI. Over component the 360 is a better movie machine. When it comes to HDMI and upscaled DVD content, the PS3 absolutely rocks.
Losing $1.5 billion, huh? It would appear that those losses are now a thing of the past. And the 360's hardware is going through revisions. The CPU and GPU are moving to the new 65nm manufacturing process and they are including HDMI on all models to consolidate costs. And we're hearing less and less about RROD, so that problem is coming under control, too.
I don't know why people disparage Microsoft. Spending that $1 billion to own up to the RROD issue is the best investment th...
