Its because its impossible to tell a deep, engrossing story in a videogame in the 20-40 hours most games take.
If you spend to much time on the story, people get angry that it took to much focus away from gameplay.
If you spend to much time on the gameplay, people say it is weak on story.
Solution? Make more epic narratives and tell them over a series of games.
I *like* an engrossing story, and the medium has proven that this method...
Hatchet job as usual from this site. Snore.
Yeah, because its not like MS is going to release any software this year or anything.
*rolls eyes*
Reported as spam for writing "M$". Take that fanboy stuff to >
NO, not "gamers" but Sony zealots.
What else do you expect Sony to say? Frankly, Im not suprised at how arrogant they are, this is a pretty bold and disrespectful statement.
If Microsoft were so disrespectful of its peers, you'd be here screaming about it.
There isnt anything wrong with Xbox 360's 2008 plans. The reality is, you'd never admit to anything different.
Take it to the open zone, both of you.
What "vista blunder"? The only blunder that MS made was to allow its detractors and competitors dominate the narrative.
That was a marketing failure, not an engineering one. They need to fire their Advertising/PR/Marketing people and get in the fight, the media has changed, and the old-guard of editorially responsible journalism is dead, its all about blogs and such these days.
They need to get into the trenches and fight their case.

What a hatchet job. I read guardian's newspaper religiously, and this is a pretty terrible article, it would never make the print edition.
Can we just skip ahead to Winter '08 and get BK3 in our drives please. M'kay thx.
Ewwww. That poor cute animal who has his face ripped off by the falling plank.
Hehe.
Props to Bethesda for giving Xbox 360 owners the final Oblivion expansion for free.
Props to Epic for giving the Gears of War mappack for free.
Props to Microsoft/Bungie for giving the Halo 3 mappack for free.
Its ridiculous spam, some kind of drug-induced nonsense.
sarcastic gamer == garbage.
...a bit of malarkey. BUT, at least that song is awesome. Anyone know who it is?
Eurogamer gave it 8/10, they didnt have any of the "problems" IGN mentions.

What is the malfunction @ IGN?
Oh, I'm sorry, it was $500 Million:
"Warner Swayed By $500 Million From The BDA"

But, if you spend too much time on the sony-zealot heavy N4G, you wouldnt know that. Why?
Well, look how it was "submitted" by "TANOD" (a bad submission to destroy the story) here, with th...
Snore. I predict 5-6/10 average on Metacritic.
Its gonna have a tough time giving Ace Combat 6 a run for its money, but Blazing Angels sure has a lot of gamer-cred.
This is a fantastic suprise.
Wildly underappreciated game IMHO. It does have a very respectable 7.5/10 on Metacritic.
Its very innovative and wildly fun to play.
Nice flame-bait title you created there;
The article's proper title is:
"Hands-On: New hands-on with Metal Gear Solid 4"
How did this one get approved:
"Metal Gear Solid 4 Hands-On: 'You thought Gears of War Looked Amazing? Think Again'- GamePro"
If you like a game with depth and character development, you should play this. Best console RPG I've ever played (I'm a sucker for SciFi (but not as much as I am for post-apocalypse stories, I'm looking at you Fallout 3)).
