I do understand your point, but this is N4G where that kind of sense seems to be lost amongst the populous.
We are constantly being reminded by the narrow-minded fanboys on this site what they consider the requirements for a AAA to be title yet these standards seem to somewhat change when it comes to an exclusive game on the opposite system.
At one time someone would consider above 9 the requisite to be called a AAA title, yet in an argument with another about qu...
calm down now

Ok so by your reckoning because Halo3:ODST has an average rating of about 8.5 then its not even a AAA title.
Even though games such as Uncharted, Infamous, Heavenly Sword, Wipeout HD, Flower, Resistance 1 & 2, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, R&C Tools of Destruction all have an average rating of below 9. So are none of these great titles AAA either?
Anybody that likes Halo enough will buy it or will have already bought it so some site that claims to be unbiased and reviews other platforms but calls itself Wiispace.com isn't going to dissuade any fans.
Just look at the amount of pre-orders at the minute, hardly a flop. Same as Halo 3? Funnily enough it has that in its title and its just an expansion pack (overpriced).
Not to mention that many people will be looking toward the main gaming sites for reviews an...
Lol, yeah I suppose I could see where the confusion may come from.
I swear I have sometimes seen the Pope & Obama posting on this site, though that still doesnt mean I want to launch a personal attack against them no matter my allegiance or any ill feelings I may hold toward them.
The generalisations dont seem to just lie in gaming on the site, there are some very angry people behind these avatars!
@ gaffyh - dont worry about it, sometimes I ju...
"The fact that you are bringing the BC issue up in this thread, kinda shows that you are a fanboy, so please STFU, we know you can't afford a PS3, but you really don't need to come here and cry about it, cry to your parents, maybe they'll by it for your 13th birthday"
Really now? Saying I dent have a PS3, that i'm crying about it to my parents because i'm a child? Is that how mature you are? When you can learn to have a discussion like an adult then I might respect yo...
Woah woah woah! Wait a minute here! What about all of these late PS3 adopters who had a PS2 and were waiting for the price cut & slim to jump to the next generation? Hardcore fans like yourselves may have been knowledgeable enough to go and get one of the early models with BC but what about all the casual gamers who were expecting it to come with the slim?
I have seen plenty of gamers on here and stories before the slim was released saying they wanted it to contain BC. When...
Fair enough, if thats how you feel. I'm not going to argue on price because as you said thats up to the individual if they want to spend their money on this or not, they have to decide whether its worth the money.
But you seem to be a bit graphic obsessed, Bungie have been working on a new engine for Reach since Halo 3 and this has been done as a side project hence why it was originally touted as an expansion pack. Why would they make a new engine just for that? Have you played...
A massive generalization there but ok.
Playstation fans were totally screwed when it came to backwards compatibility this generation, thats not exactly Sony giving you the best.
I do feel as though Sony has brought out its 'A' game at the minute leaving MS struggling to bring anything big to the table. If the 360 is running out of steam already then i'm very disappointed. Where are all the big announcements like they used to have at E3?
FIRST the government takes my hard earned money giving it to kids and lay-abouts! THEN my girlfriend takes more for "necessities" and now this happens!! I might as well just start giving money straight to the devil!!
You say the "same old graphics" but Half Life 2's graphics are looking very old now yet it doesn't stop the game from being anything but great! I didn't realize that 2007 was so long ago.
You say it has "same old gameplay" failing to understand that it is both a sequel and a FPS. How much different do you want it to be? Jumping high enough to hit blocks and obtain coins? Have the numerous Unreal Tournaments changed that much from each new addition to the ser...
I'm gonna go and say no they haven't played it, I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is a "review" for Duke Nukem Forever posted on that site.
I do have to say I am a sucker for some milk!
Yup, unfortunately these bunch of kids have given PS3 users on this site a bad reputation.
But the same can also be said for the 360 fanatics. They are both as bad as each other and make posting for everyone else a chore as we have to read through endless drivel to find a post worth reading.
Pity the mods and admins couldnt care less about what happens on this site.
I have to say I would prefer it much more if they poured all the money invested in ODST, into a Halo film done as well as the marketing they do for these games. That would be something definitely worth paying for.
Unfortunately these days 8 hours of gameplay is about the best your going to find which is sad really. I can remember the first Half Life took me ages to play.
That live action trailer was VERY good marketing by Bungie and Microsoft, and I couldnt sense any mind controlling or brainwashing coming from it at all!
Very well said
Lol, good try though. You just need to shorten it and simplify it a bit to make it a top Chuck Norris fact!
Maybe like, 'Chuck Norris is so tough he only looks at a 360 and it RROD's'
