Here I am. I think most shooter games' stories are very generic and simplistic.

The characters for games like Halo and Gears of War and Crysis and Half Life 2 and Killzone and Resistance are all one-dimensional. Where are there back-stories?

Where's Sev's backstory, where's Visari's backstory, where's Rico's backstory?

Does anything happen in the game that gives us some idea of the Helghast culture? Where are ...

Yeah, the inflation rate only accounts for the exta 89 bucks. The other 211 bucks is what shocked people.

If you never cared for the 360, then why did you buy 6 of them?

Are you mentally retarded?

The guy made Ninja Gaiden. He is a legend whether you like it or not.

You are more smarter than anyone else here.

Hey, you want to download some more RAM for your computer? I know a website that will help.

They spent a great deal of money on Natal and will spend a great deal more on marketing. It seems to me that they really think it has potential. They had plenty of opportunities to fund exclusive games for the 360. That's why I'm trying to be optimistic. Either Natal will be really good or it will be a very horrible mistake.

Doesn't V-syncing cause the frame tears? If the game is locked at 30 frames per second, then every time one frame stays on screen while the next screen is being rendered it creates a tear. And doesn't this happen more often when the game is V-synced?

It's probably Tomonobu Itagaki.

Hopefully they won't make a movie game the way Ubisoft made a Prince of Persia to match the theatrical film.

Lame.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you just another zealot?

Isn't it likely that your bias against the 360 would affect the information your mind retains?

And if both Microsoft and Sony have lost at least 4 billion this gen on their console business, why would Sony's past success have any part to play in their current position?

If both companies are both just about equal in marketshare and losses, why would you still count Mic...

Microsoft can afford the losses. They've had a stable stock throughout the economic downturn. The investors are pissed because there hasn't been strong growth. They bought there stocks at a certain price and the value hasn't gone down but it hasn't gone up either.

It's not really about the money, so much as it's about Microsoft dragging its feet when it comes to actually being in it for the long haul, as they said they would be. If they are going...

a friend of mine says they are going to show off the Source 2 engine.

I don't want people to spin this the wrong way. Microsoft's entrance into the gaming industry was guaranteed to bring them losses. If they're investors are hoping they will back out, then tough shit to them.

It's actually more endearing that Microsoft is continuing in the gaming industry rather than listening to shareholders. They have been accused many times of only caring about their stockholders and not the gaming community.

If Microso...

How do you know it's not fixed? When you hang around this site it's always going to be mentioned as a problem whether it has been fixed or not. No doubt some third party source will do a reliability survey on newer 360 units and hopefully if no biased people lie to sabotage it we will get an accurate figure of the reliability rate of new 360 units.

The only way you can be tired of shooters is if you're the one who keeps playing them rather than including variety into your gaming routine.

Yes, the market is flooded with shooters, but there are plenty of games that have been released that aren't FPS and if you don't like it that much then why have you been playing them so much?

My shit is going to smell much better than anyone elses.

That's what they all say.

It's funny because Valve can make games on PC that otherwise could not run on the PS3.

Half Life Episode 2 on Max Settings looks gorgeous and don't even get me started on the mods.
