you guys are really missing the point.
this article isn't about ghostbusters. and it's not about saying sony is worse than microsoft. you are all so busy being fanboys you can never read anything without some silly bias, corporate-slave filter.
the article is saying that actions like this set a precedent (which is exactly the word he uses). if it becomes okay to take timed exclusivity at the very last minute, then we can start seeing all 3 companies doing it. and...
this must have taken months to create
bottom line is this:
If you are big into gaming...Windows
If you are big into video editing...Mac
If you are into programming and open source...Linux
actual 'news' and no one comments...
guess they should have called this "10 reasons why quake live is better than [something related to a console fps]"
i used to be a member of gamefly. til i realized it's actually a really bad deal.
unless prices have increased, i was paying 24.99 a month for 2 games which comes out to about 300 bucks a year. now lets say each month you're lucky enough to rent one really good game, that means you'll probably keep it for a month. so now you're paying 24.99 for one game that you can't keep. at the end of the year, you've spent 300 dollars with nothing to show for it but a few cool experiences...
here we have an article about 360 and the moron at the top has over 100 agrees and less than 20 disagrees.
so there's the proof that everyone who's not a ps3 fanboy already knew. illogical, trolling, ps3 fanboys dominate N4G. and the admins do nothing about it as long as the spam favors Sony.
and by the way. 360 and ps3 are both crappy, dated technology.
and blu ray isn't "next gen." it's a disc medium. which is over 20 years old. it's ex...
while i do agree, i have had times where steam also wouldn't let me play games til my internet was on.
even steam could use some tweaking.
and even if you get a game through steam, that game still could be a windows live game. DOW 2 is actually a perfect example of that.
so we have an article about why the japanese don't support 360. and instead of speaking any kind of fact, we have a buncha white dudes speaking for the japanese as if they have a clue. just because you play video games doesn't mean you understand japanese culture.
how about everyone stops speculating and quits worrying about it.
i like both my systems. i don't need to convince myself a system i like is good cuz a buncha ppl 9000 miles away like it. i don't care a...
i am so sorry for you.
you have taken fanboyism to a whole new level.
the only way i could take any of what you said seriously is if i thought you were intending to be sarcastic or ironic.
but after reading more carefully, there's no questions. you're beyond fanboy..you're a slave.
how do you have any bubbles? let alone that many
you know i'm so tired of this console "war"
first of all, why the hell is this a top article?
week after week 360 comes out on top on these software sales reports and what do ps3 fanboys constantly troll on the forums? "sales don't matter!!"
suddenly we hear ps3 came out on top for ubisoft and now the ps3 fanboys won't stfu.
i'm sorry ps3 guys, i don't mean to say you're ALL complete hypocrites, but lets be honest: it d...
"IF YOU GUYS WERE TRUE GAMERS YOU WOULD KNOW WHY."
so if you don't like killzone 2, you're not a "true gamer?"
we're discussing things that go far over your head cookie. let the big boys talk.
@jake the muss. you're one of the few who i agree with here. and you are basically reiterating my point. i am not defending any type of fanboyism. i am saying that there is a strong imbalance. it may appear that some ppl come off as apologists like 'i did not murder him' or myself. but it's actually a reaction...not an action. because there are so many more ps3 fanboys, there will be a much ...
most devs live by that policy. fortunately there are a few companies, like crytek, that still push the hardware.
if it weren't for companies like them, we'd have consoles lasting 10-20 years cuz the rest of the peons are willing to develop for inferior hardware as long as ppl are willing to buy.
we need some programmers who like to push and progress technology.
actually if you do a search in google for 'budget pc crysis' you'll find that ppl not only configure a system that can run it very well, but provide links to newegg and various sites for the cheapest ways to build them.
i've seen a crysis capable PC configuration for as little as 800 bucks.
i've been watching i did not murder him and he is applying the same policy i have. we don't hate ps3...we hate ps3 fanboys. and the reason for this is they spend all their time pushing an agenda and talking about their opinions as if they are facts.
and just because you can name a few 360 fanboys doesn't change the ratio. of course there are 360 fanboys. nobody is denying that. we are just saying that ps3 fanboys are overwhelming. they troll 360 news articles just to bash i...
sprud, i'm full 7.5 and i think most of the 8.0 is a side grade.
it's a 4 player co-op game.
it's not supposed to be scary...it's supposed to be intense.
and when you have guys who can make you a target for a horde of zombies (boomer) or a guy that can lunge at you and kill you in a matter of seconds (hunter), it keeps everyone tight and working together.
and if you think there isn't anything scary about it. i say put it on expert and separate yourself from your group by going to look for health or ammo. then tell m...
you just copied the title and said right. did you even read the article?
i said i'd gladly pay the price of a fast food meal each month to get a MUCH BETTER service.
you say it should be free based on a vastly inferior service. i have both systems and i hate psn. it's slow and clunky and the interface isn't nearly as user friendly.
and i didn't say i go around sniffing out deals. i said that when you factor in total costs, it's really more of a wash. and since live a more enjoyable experience, that makes it the winner.
my...
