is this all you got MS? Common you stepped inside the gaming industry to end up like this milking games? go back to where you belong!

GWAVE5278d ago

Great idea.

As we step into 2010, let's bundle a game from 2008.

Game13a13y5278d ago (Edited 5278d ago )

nice try, MS. i bought the MW 2 limited edition. and i totally think PS3 is a much better machine overall.

i was opening the box and like, what? the controller has no rechargeable battery? then like what? that is the power brick? and then like, what? the disc tray is plastic? and like when i turned it on, then i'm like, what? that is the loud airplane noise people were talking about?

man, i'm so spoiled by the PS3.

StanLee5278d ago

LOL. Look at all the fanboy hate. SMH!

Sitdown5278d ago (Edited 5278d ago )

in looking at the comments above, its quite obvious that no matter what Microsoft does, ps3 fans will find a reason to hate on it. Did Microsoft abuse you when you were little? Its like they sit around waiting for any pro-360 headline, so that they can pounce on it. Seriously, are you really complaining because Microsoft is giving gamers another bundle?...

@Game13a13y
What are your disc trays usually made out of? Every disc tray in my house is made from plastic in some shape, form or fashion.

Blacktric5278d ago

Sony has bizillion of PS3 bundles but when it comes to Microsoft it makes them stupid isn't it? PS3 fanboyism reached an unbeliavble level these days. At launch to the early 2008's it was 360 which had most fanboys and now it's the PS3. I mean what is your problem? Is Sony or Microsoft giving you money for defending the system you like most like a blind idiot? What is the point? Yes 360 has a plastic disc tray. You were expecting it to be platinum? Stop with this stupid fanboyism acts cause you're making a fool out of yourselves...

Game13a13y5278d ago (Edited 5278d ago )

why do i keep getting blamed for being a fanboy when i just don't like the 360. come on, i've even spent money on it and planning to buy couple 360 games. how about u 360 people huh? did you ever plan on getting a ps3?

bottom line, i'm no fanboy, i'm just pointing out the weakness of the 360 comparing to the PS3, don't blame me, meh.

oh, and the disc tray of the PS3 is like my car, it just sucks the disc in, no tray, which makes it way better when i put my console vertically. and thats because i don't want my 360 to RROD, well, but what do i know, i'm just a fanboy, meh.

Blacktric5278d ago

If you have a Jasper 360, then there's no need to worry about getting RROD. Just install the games on HDD (you're even saying that you're going to buy COUPLE of games so space shouldn't be a problem). I've got 5 games and all of them installed to my 60 gig 360 HDD. Yes 360 has a poor built quality but software wise it has good games. BTW I already have a PS3. It was my first next gen console and I bought it just to play MGS 4. I love both of my consoles and all I'm saying is there's no need to defend your console blindly...

GWAVE5278d ago

@ blacktric

Care to elaborate on the "bazillions" of Sony bundles? If I recall, it was Microsoft, not Sony, who had a Modern Warfare 2 bundle, a Resident Evil 5 bundle, a "Holiday" bundle every year, a Halo 3 bundle, not to mention all the different SKUs for the 360 models....the list goes on.

Noctis Aftermath5278d ago

His comments are in no way blind fanboy comments, he has both consoles, and is simply stating his dislike of the poor build quality of the 360 compared to the ps3.
This is a fact, stating otherwise with comments like "if you got a jasper it won't RRoD" is just full of sh1t, jasper chip upgrade done little to solve the 360s hardware issues.

saint_john_paul_ii5278d ago

Sadly, im not a friend of gambling...

BLuKhaos5278d ago

How much will it cost, when will it be available, what regions will it be available for, and what stores will carry this bundle?I can't enter the site.

edgeofblade5278d ago (Edited 5278d ago )

Geez, what's with all the hate? It's plain as day that you people are looking for any old wedge you can drive into 360. Meanwhile, I'm playing the game and enjoying it.

Looking at the content I'm getting on GTA IV episodes, I would be happy with just the Episodes disk. Seriously, GTA IV and Episodes is a great value no matter how you slice it (and I know you will try hard to make it look bad). A GTA console with the complete GTA IV collection? Sounds like a prime idea for a bundle to me.

@Game13a13y: I'll tell you why everyone thinks your a PS3 fanboy. You're complaining about the friggin disk tray and power brick. You're picking the most nitpicky things you can pick about the system. You are quite transparently a fanboy of the PS persuasion.

Let me see if I can do the same for the PS3: "I hate the capacitance switches on the PS3. My cats keep turning it on. And PSN doesn't let me redownload videos. I much rather prefer 360."

Triella5278d ago (Edited 5278d ago )

Seeing how Modern Warfare bundle is priced 399$ and Resident Evil bundle is over 500$ this bundle will probably cost around 450$.

who in their right mind would buy this ?

Ninji5278d ago

A faulty console with a year old game & some DLC. This bundle will just give the PS3 more sales. lmao

4point7BillionLoss5278d ago

The highest scoring game this Gen, can you only get the full version on xbox .... Sony has Lost $4.7 Billion by losing this exclusive franchise ....

Rocco Siffredi5278d ago

The only think that will give SOny more sales, is that MS has already banned 600k users from xbox live. And MS told that there will be 1 Million gamers banned.. wow 1 Million! I dont think these ppl would buy a xbox360 again this holiday.

4point7BillionLoss5278d ago

They're Pirates, They'd be happy to let them go to Sony where they will pirate PS3 games .... and guess what ... Sony will lose more money ... and sony developers will move to 360 development because Microsoft Stands up for them by banning pirates...

You're stupid if you can't see the logic in banning pirates ... unless you are one of them .... dumbass

Elven65278d ago

Pirates don't give back to Microsoft or the developers/publishers, the console producers make most of their money on software. If these pirates are bypassing the traditional form of payment to get things for free why let them go on?

I also have to question the sanity of someone who defends software pirates by putting some ridiculous conspiracy theory over it.

Grand Theft Auto 4 Anniversary: The Beginning of the Age of RAGE

Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.

Wasn’t the Table Tennis game the first to use RAGE?

isarai358d ago

Was about to say the same, but they do say first "in the franchise" so 🤷

Fifteen Years On, 'Grand Theft Auto IV' Is Still the Series’ Best

There’s never a bad time to relive its magic, and with rumours of a potential Grand Theft Auto IV remaster making the rounds, why wouldn’t you?

The series' most overhyped and overrated (especially by critics) more like.

Number1TailzFan360d ago

Not sure tbh.. I'd say 3 was the most overrated. It's pretty rough to go back to, it was quite rough even trying it just after Vice City. Lack of humour and vehicles that had the weight of polystyrene with top speeds to match.

VC & the stories games (even LCS) were all fun. I remember there being a lot of praise for GTA 3 on TV and in game mags, saying it was a Dreamcast killer of a game or words to that effect, and honestly after playing it on PC I didn't think it was that special and kind of dull, had the odd moment of fun but hardly anything. I heard they cut online multiplayer at the last moment for PC, shame because it could've made all the difference.

Would've loved to have seen what kind of cartoony GTA style game they could've done on Dreamcast as a competitor, I bet something along the lines of Simpsons Hit & Run would've worked well.

BlackTar187360d ago

@numberz How can the game that defined a generation and was copied by everyone be overrated? Was a asinine comment

seanpitt23359d ago

For me 4 was better than 5 was more realistic and the physics was on another level! 5 was a major let down in that department!

Number1TailzFan359d ago

@blacktar you have your opinion i have mine. I found the game dull, and it is for the most part. It set the foundation for the much superior SA and VC however.

KwietStorm_BLM359d ago

You say GTA III is overrated because it's rough to go back to and rough to play after Vice City. Your entire opinion is in hindsight. Of course it's rough going back to it today. It came out over 20 years ago. That doesn't take away from the fact that it pioneered a lot and was a paradigm shift for a lot of trends in game development today. Vice City in a lot of ways is just a more refined version of III. It was San Andreas that took the big leap forward from a design perspective. If III doesn't release, who knows if the open world genre would be what it is now. How can that be overrated?

1nsomniac360d ago (Edited 360d ago )

Not at all. My most played game of all time. Truly stunning accomplishment in gaming and with PC graphics mods it just took it to levels beyond anything that came before and possibly even after.

People who moan about it generally tend to be people who played it on under powered consoles and couldn’t handle the more realistic car physics. It was the slightly more realistic approach that made it stand out more. Absolutely love it. In fact I always said Vice city was my favourite of all time. But after going back to the remaster I realised 4 was actually the best.

Profchaos360d ago (Edited 360d ago )

I'm no critic and I consider it the best games in the franchise after recently replaying every entry it's story when paired in conjunction with it's DLC was and still is amazing.

shinoff2183359d ago

Lol. Fun fact. That dlc cost a certain green colored console 50 million for exclusiveness. Un heard of back then. Just to point out the hypocrisy of the 3rd party exclusive agenda going on.

Anyway how the dlc better then the base game by a mile. Lol imo

DigitallyAfflicted359d ago

I've enjoyed gta4 the most from all the others too.

DarXyde359d ago

San Andreas holds a special place in my heart. Honestly, I couldn't get into IV at all. Didn't even finish it. I had some pride in playing it at first because I'm originally a New Yorker, but it just didn't do it for me.

To each their own.

shinoff2183359d ago (Edited 359d ago )

Gta sa for sure. To this day my favorite. My least fav is gta 4 easily. Gta 4 made me feel like the dude in next friday trying to take the cd back talking about i cant get jiggy wit this.

Maybe looking back it would be 3 but 3 did so damn much for gaming in general. . My first gta was of course the top downs so the series has came a long way.

notachance359d ago

Yeah I remembered falling asleep playing the last mission in GTA4.. the most boring protagonist (out of all the voiced protag), and the town is too small.

-Foxtrot360d ago

Not really

Overrated

Boring

Liberty City despite being a reimagined version for the HD era lacked any variety

Lacked the GTA fun charm overall

Niko was bland compared to past protagonists like Tommy, CJ or Victor

blackblades359d ago (Edited 359d ago )

GTA 2 was the best, lol my only owned GTA game. Vice city was alright when I rented it back then. I cant really say which is the best cause those the only 2 games i played but GTA 2 was fun on PC back in the day. Closes game to it that I enjoyed was SR3 and I dont care what people say. That none serious tone was fun enjoyable.

banger88360d ago

Like hell it is. San Andreas was far better, much more fun and a better game overall.

isarai360d ago

Nah, it's a masterpiece in attention to detail and the amount of immersive systems at play. But it really isn't very fun, ESPECIALLY when compared to the previous games in the series. Like tons of things are just wonky and actively kneecap lots of experimentation, or is just lame. Like why do I take huge damage when falling into water, why can I only stand in very specific large trucks when they are moving but not smaller trucks and vehicles, why is the melee combat such a massive down grade from GTA SA and GTA IV, why is the euphoria nowhere near as reactive, why is being drunk using a rasterized animation of staggering rather than the far more entertaining euphoria GTAIV and RDR used when you were drunk, why do npc vehicles barely react to you popping there tires even at high speed, etc etc.

I've always loved playing around in GTA games world. Like the campaigns are great but the majority of my time was always spent just playing in the open world. Yet GTAV is the only game in the series I never really returned to after beating it, it just lacks that fun factor the others have, I spent more time in GTA SA remastered than GTAV

chicken_in_the_corn360d ago

It's one of my least favourite GTA games. It's clunky, the ai is exploitable, it's far too long and the writing is absolutely awful.
