is there xbox live just like their crappy console?...

power of Green 5961d ago (Edited 5961d ago )

Dumb ass fanboys shouldn't worry about a service they do not have why are you in here?.

Come back and talk sh*t when other game console services are half as complex as XBL is and has the fanbase size of XBL(or has as much to offer).

What does a console have to do with service based issues?. Why are Sony fanboys so stupid, do they do it on purpose?.

athlon7705961d ago

you are one to talk when you yourself go into PS3 sections and wise crack about how solid the XBL is compaired to Sony and go on for days about the quality of service you pay $50.00 a year for, what is the matter, you can dish it out but can't take it?

Poor guy, you must be very high strung. Why don't you put down that Mountain Dew Red and have a nice glass of Sprite or 7up?

Droynas5961d ago

But but but.. You are PAYING for it. Live should be better then that free crappy PSN right? They get money so they can fix a perfect Live right?
but but PSN doesn't lag... dammit!!
PSN support many players on Warhawk... dammit!!
Must. Find. Something. To. Whine. On...
Well.. At least you pay for Live so it's better in some way.. Right?

You are absolutely right. Live IS better than Psn. This is why so many people choose to pay for it rather than use a free service. Just because you are paying for something doesn't mean it will be perfect 100% of the time. 99.9% is good enough, save for a few hours here and there during the holiday week, when a few million new users jammed the servers.

That's great about warhawk supporting many players. XBL does too. Did you think that every game has a 16-player limit just like Halo?

PSN never lags, huh? Is that a scientific assessment?

Hmmm, what does this have to do with the PSN? They should not be compared right now. I did not have problems this time around and the last time this was reported. None of my XBL buds had issues, well one did last time, but it is becuase he had pirated games and a modded system, so they banned his XBL account.

People are always comparing how great XBL is compared to the PSN or how the PSN is free and you have to pay for XBL. IMO, XBL is like $4.50 a month, whch is the price of a value meal at McDonalds or almost a gallon of gas, mere chump change for most. PSN is free and will be for quite a while, I do think they will charge for features when HOME arrives (furniture, clothes, etc). XBL live has been around for over 5 years and has had the time tweak the network. PSN is new. Honestly I do not use PSN that much; at first I did with WarHawk, but I do not play it much that more, plus I started getting lag. So yes, there is lag on the PSN. I have a T1 connection, so it is not on my end. I would also pay for PSN was it makes some improvements, which will happen in 2008. I have all three current systems and I have to say that XBL adds tht extra element of excitement. I was playing Cyberball and listening to some Music and chatting to an old XBL bud and downloading the Fuels for War demo all at once and all on the 360 and XBL, then I got a game invite from another XBL bud to play a game of Gears of War with just one clcik of a button I was playing that match in under 20 seconds. My download stopped, but I was still chatting to the person. For these grear experiences I do not mind some small bumps in the roads occasionally.

Not being a fanboy but what is so bad about the console?

power of Green 5961d ago

Nah its probably just 3 or 4(connected to XBL) million people joining all at once or in a few days.

I guess on the PS3 not enough people buy games(or consoles) to over come any one devs severs. lol

gamesR4fun5961d ago

nah its just Sony servers arnt run by M$

POG its kinda funny watching you bots defend your pay for crap service by trying to bash Sony's superior free service.

vgn245961d ago

And you embarrass the rest of us by calling people bots when you attack 360 owners. You're no better. Your actions show that you're defending your purchase by attacking those who purchase something else. Your attempt at looking smooth = fail. Both systems have pros and cons. Stop acting like either one is perfect.

gamesR4fun5961d ago

meh a bot's a bot and a sony droid is a droid

nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade imo

ElementX5961d ago

Great comment. Bubbles to you. I hate it when people defend their purchase by talking sh!t about the competition. Gamers are the only ones who do this. Look at manufacturers, they never say "our competition sucks balls" or athletes saying "yeah, our competition sucked last night, ya know, they just suck and did I mention they really suck?"

crck5961d ago

Oh wait, never mind. BTW It don't matter if its 200 million people trying to get on at the same time. MS collects $50 from each one of them so the frickin' service better work.

OOG FunK5961d ago

kudos man good to see some people on this site still have half a brain......everyday I start to hate this site more and more...and I know im not the only one....sooner or later the people who are trying to help make this site big...are gonna be its biggest downfall

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg3h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv723h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast5h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood4h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

gold_drake34m ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.
