Companies never report how much units shipped either.
Lol is this what the video game industry is resorting to? No longer are real sales figures important, it's all about the amount of units shipped to retailers? I couldn't care less how many units are in the shops nor do I care too much about the sale figures, profit margins is what is important and quite frankly i'm sure microsoft are still recouping their advertising budget. By the time that's all recouped, the buzz for kinect will be over and most people will realize that it&...
As an early adopter of the 360 I say there is very little reason to be excited about microsoft's console in 2011. Gears of War 3 should itself be early runner for GOTY contender but with that being the exception, there is very little else worth getting excited about that's announced yet. Microsoft seem to be putting all their eggs in their kinect basket.. just look at the first quarter exclusives of the 360 and compare it to those of the ps3... ps3 wins completely hands down.

MR FLIBBLE!!!!!! God that picture just left me on the floor in stitches just remembering the episode.. bubbles for you good sir!
SOE promising monthly updates isn't a good thing tbh.. I remember back in the good old SWG days when there was monthly updates.. they'd release the content regardless if it was buggy/broken with some content never getting fixed.
Having said that though.. in the past SOE have really added stuff to their games unlike say blizzard where they just throw the epic hungry dungeon raiders a new dungeon bone every 4 months.
No offense to Guerilla games but isn't that what every respective fps developer claims with a new IP? Same old milked formula with a twist. Why don't they make something unique and original instead of continuing to clog up the games market with yet another fps game.
Why can't Activision just accept the facts.. the biggest helper in EA's ability to take the IW guys was in fact Activision itself.
It's Sakaguchi plus with Uematsu on board, it's going to be EPIC. I'll probably buy a wii in the January sales just so I can play this.
Why are activision being so stubborn and arrogant? They're like a crazy ex gf who just can't get over you. If they took their time to keep their most gifted developers happy, EA wouldn't have been able to poach them.
It also wouldn't surprise me that IW would want to sabotage Treyarch's games seeing as Treyarch take a nice big dump on IW every other year in the form of their craptastic MW knockoffs.
Still I can't wait for this lawsui...
To be honest it's a better game purely from the gameplay angle however the maps are pretty crap. Maybe they just look bad next to MW2 but it's clearly obvious Treyarch's map designers are nowhere near on par with IWs. Good example is just look at nuke town.. it's awful.
Why would he want to? It's essentially tweaked gameplay done on terrible maps. I went back to mw2 two weeks after Black Ops came out and haven't looked back.
The smartest thing they could have done. I've not played the game so can't really comment but how can the producer still be in a job with them? It's not nice to call for the job of anybody but seriously, he dun goofed up big time and from what i've read,the guy shouldn't ever work on another MMO again. At the end of the day a game should be FUN and this Tanaka guy doesn't really seem to envision or understand what it means to have fun playing a game.
Are you joking? I'd take a rock band approach if the game mechanics are top notch but ultimately halo reach was a step back for the halo series. The slow pace, the random bloom the one shot dmr, the crouch to increase accuracy.. none of these belong in a halo game.
A halo 1 remake add on for reach would be welcome though.. say it runs on the reach's engine but is essentially a straight up halo remake.. kind of like what treyarch does with their cod games where they j...
Why would people want to buy this? I loved Halo Reach on day one but after a week I was getting bored and not once did I feel the need to have a late night energy drink so I could take my gaming into stupid o clock in the morning.
A large part of the blame for me would be the dreadful maps that came with the game.. quite frankly they SUCKED. So many of them just looked ugly in their design (looking at you boardwalk) and don't even get me started on the crappy forge maps a...
It's alright i'll import one for half price from Japan or better yet i'll wait until January and get it el cheapo second hand!
When they said finished I thought they meant they cancelled the development.. going off by what i've read about the pc version and if the game has already reached gold, i'd have said they'd have been better off cancelling it.
Sad thing is I was looking forward to playing this however i've been totally put off by it.
It's a stupid amateurish map tbh.. two houses seperated by a school bus and a few other things.. it's hardly an AAA quality designed map is it? Then again the only good map I find on black ops was Launch.
£235 is a cut price? Jeez i'd be surprised if kinect sells 5m with a launch lineup like it has with such a high price tag for the bundle.
Dunno how halo reach won this.. I mean sure it's a great game and the gameplay is fun BUT the mp maps S-U-C-K hard. Possibly the worst set of mp maps from a AAA titled game i've ever played and the forge maps they added were an even bigger joke.
Tbh it's not the case of microsoft being "cagey" with their games.. simply put there is nothing there for microsoft to show. Also mentioned about convincing the hardcore crowd that they're microsoft's main focus.. well sadly they're not the main focus and providing microsoft can keep getting their yearly xbox live fee from them, they couldn't care less about them anymore.
Then to mention E3.. please just why? This year they'll probably invite...
