What a surprise, a blatant console fanboy ripping on an amazing game he's almost certainly never played.
I'm not saying he made it up, I just think he was very, very stupid if he decided to spend another $350 rather than speak to the, admittedly terrible, Microsoft support team.
Notice this part of his post:
"I just remembered I looked at my email last week and saw 3 emails.
-I have sent out a box to you [I dont remember getting a box]
-We have received you xbox 360 and is in repair center
-We have sent out your 360"
Did anyone consider the postal service could be at fault, rather than Microsoft? That almost sounds like MS *just* got ahold of the console. Maybe when he sent the 2nd one off for repair, th...
Doesn't matter if your points are right or wrong - I happen to think you are, for the most part, right - but terms like "Failbox 360" do not belong in the Gamer Zone.
Also, regarding point #3, he was saying he doesn't care if the PS3 shows the XMB in PS2/PS1 games, but that it SHOULD show up during movie playback. Which, for the record, the 360 does do.
I'd prefer not to talk about WoW.
Yeah, because the online gaming media is so incredibly honest and reliable, they'd never post an article with a controversial headline and subject just to up their hits.
Right?
"MGS7 has got to be the worst game I've played in the last 18 years, the NDA is against my human rights after the amount of mental anguish having to play this pos has caused me so I'm going to speak out and warn you all to cancel pre-orders while you still can.
Seriously, finished it in two sittings, two sittings of repetitive combat, painful story and graphics which wouldn't of looked out of place on a last gen PS5. And don't get me started on the animations which I can o...
Standard fanboy tactic 101.
Invent outrageous claim supposedly made by other side.
Shoot down outrageous claim with basic logic.
Claim "victory" in an internet flame war, impress imaginary friends/girlfriend.
Both sides do it, but post 1.1 is a classic example.
Really? We're going to trust a news article that links to a forum post as its source, now?
Don't get me wrong, Too Human many very well suck, but someone claiming to have played the game and hating it is not news. If this had been posted about MGS4, it would've been torn apart. Instead, it's being treated as truly legitimate.
Even if he HAS played the game, it's one guy's opinion on a forum. This is NOT news.
Sad.
...it's Diablo. The game isn't exactly a graphics powerhouse.
Also, where did you get RTS? Diablo isn't a RTS...maybe you're thinking of Starcraft...
And you want MORE MMO's? Personally I wish the PC exclusive market would go back to more single player games...the market is already swamped with MMO's.
Yeah, the author's logic reads something like this.
If A then B.
A is true, so Z must be true as well.
I can't stand WoW, or any MMO that uses auto-attack, really.
AoC has its flaws, but I can see the potential. I'll stick it out as long as my guild does, and I think most of us are in for the long-haul.
Totally. I mean, SC2 was the only game coming out for PC this year, right?
And console games are never, ever, ever delayed, right?
The only justification they have left is the unified architecture used to ensure most 360 games have some online component, because it's very easy for developers to add multiplayer functionality to their games. Hence why even a free, intern-created XBLA game has online co-op.
However, it's much, much harder to use that as a "selling point" for a monthly fee. People want to see actual physical differences to justify the cost, and 2.40 is going to remove that long-held ...
In Microsoft's defense, it is easier to imitate than innovate. Sony isn't being particularly creative, they're just taking what Microsoft did and made it better.
Which, of course, is what Microsoft does to Apple, except Microsoft takes it and makes it worse.
Sounds pretty cool. Microsoft is going to have a much harder time justifying the cost behind XBL once 2.40 comes out, and it sounds like it's only the beginning of their PSN strategy.
As the game industry consistently proves - when you have a chance to copy someone else's ideas, it also means you can more easily improve upon them. In that regard, Trophies seem cooler than Achievements. I always thought Achievements were cool, but Gamerscore was crap.
Sony just ba...
Heard from who, exactly?
Some magical unknown source that must remain nameless?
Or the voice coming directly out your own rear?
I'm happy with a Diablo 3 announcement. Really curious what direction they'll take the series in.
I imagine a sort-of MMO ala Hellgate or Guild Wars. Like Diablo 2, but with even more MMO qualities, yet remaining subscription-fee-less like Guild Wars.
In fact, I predict it will be very, very much like a 3D - but still locked isometric - perespective Guild Wars-style game, but with the uber Blizzard polish.
Man - only Blizzard could generate hype ...
That's more of a question for Rockstar, not Microsoft.
