What are you 2 dunces talking about?

Did I make a comment somewhere saying that the PS3 hardware was holding something back?

I'd love to read it otherwise both of you seem to be confused.

You think I am king 360 fanboy or something and have to account for every comment every made against the PS3?

I'll be waiting for that link.

yeah, me too! @Crab, now you're talking dev's fault ha? you're such a double standard douche! you only are thinking that 360 will only get good games all the way, don't you? you can stop dreaming now! and FYI there's a lot of games in your so call 'larger library' for 360 are rubbish as well!!

@although in fact, no console in history ever lacking of rubbish title. this gen, maybe the Wii is leading the pack but what ever! these devs are trying to make money but maybe they have limited resources! there's always rooms for a shot even the cheap one! however, this proves that more and more small scale devs are willing to take their attemps on this gen's consoles and that's a good sign for a lot more games coming to both PS3 and 360.

I see what your saying...

Fanboys are idiots
They disagree with you since you own a 360
And 360 owners made fun of PS3 when there was a lazy Dev

Now, to these fanboys, 1 word, DISCRIMINATION

Just because he owns a 360 (pause) does NOT mean he is a fanboy or atleast that he ever blamed ps3 hardware over Lazy Developers

UNLESS
Someone can provide proof of such material (link)

////////////////EDIT///////// /

Never mind the proof is found
Wow i was just killed by below, nice finding bubbles for you
but i will give human kind the benefit of the doubt and will accept (hesitates) that people can change although GiantEnemyCrab, hmmmmm

Thats not even a valid comment considering that skilled devs get the superior product on the console(360) 98% of the time lol. That only makes sense if the PS3 version of this game got higher scores if there were one lol.

What the PS3 fans are saying is pure foolsihness trying to use reverse cycology trying to justify PS3's limitations.

Did you even think before you typed that?.

The seemingly comprehension skills of some of these people amaze me.

Top notch developing teams with advanced gaming engines seemingly working better on the 360's hardware for whatever reason is not comparable to this turd of a game. Trying to use shoddy work as an excuse for PS3's performance with: advanced engines that test both consoles current limits or understandings when PS3 usually fall short doesn't even make sense lol.

Devs are not struggling to bring the 360 versions of games to the PS3's level this is simply a trash game it is so simple a child can grasp this.

@PoG

Your point is entirely reasonable but when your own spelling (cycology!) and grammar (seemingly?) is in need of a polish and a need to "think before you typed that", it's a bit rich to attack others for their "seemingly comprehension skills"!

^^ Thats nice... seems to be a comprehension issue with people in here playing their reverse psychology tricks. All we need now is some polish for HD and I Make Stuff Up's intelligence.

The grammer in my post is as bad as their thoughts.

"Before you attack others' lol

Below: I'm embarrassed myself for even trying to understand where you are comming from are those even thoughts?. Where did you get

"I really think that the dev got the wrong console for this game"

and tell me why the game should be on console "A" vs console "B" then tell me why it would not have flopped. lol

You make my day when you sit at your keyboard and think to yourself I have to go in that thread and troll the 360 section due to a game no one has heard of flopping paying more attention to MSFT's platform than you do your own.

just 2 things. from where did you get that 98% you were talking about? and will this game ever get to PS3? you want to join Crab on this? I noticed that he's no longer in here after being kicked in the @ss big time by Homi. I think he should had gone hiding somewhere.

donator - 540 days ago

First of all, your name already proves whose side you are on so we shouldn't take you comment seriously. But secondly, credibility is a big issue, whether you're writing a forum post, a book, or a speech.

Credibility is everything. Look at what happens to flip flops and hypocrites: John Kerry, Mitt Romney, George Bush, Vice President (I can't type out his first name, lol) Cheney, Colin Powell. How can people take you seriously if you have no credibility?

It's muckrakers like Homicide that expose the fanboys who pretend to be fair and balanced. This should be a partisan issue. I don't care if you're an xbox fanboy or a ps3 fanboy, you should care about credibility and hate flip floppers who lie and spin just to blindly support their console.

But you probably won't understand what I'm saying anyway because judging by your comment, you're too immature to fully appreciate the situation.

GiantEnemyCrab - 539 days 23 hours ago

That post is in response to ports on the PS3 and why they are inferior due to the cell processor and the dev tools Sony provide. Which is the fault of the Playstation!

This Operation Darkness game was written exclusively for the 360 and with the devtools MS provides there is no excuse for a game as crappy as this.

But ok fine, you went back 88 days(wow) and found something I guess.. so I am owned! OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!

donator: Credibility is everything on N4G? Excuse me? A place where people tongue fvck consoles and argue like little children(most of them are). This place and everybody on it has no credibility and if you think you do then allow me to say wake up and smell the coffee. The hypocrisy and bias on this site is so out of control and ridiculous this whole place is a joke. You must be new here.

You say completely stupid things like this:

"It's muckrakers like Homicide that expose the fanboys who pretend to be fair and balanced."

What planet do you come from where fanboys are fair and balanced? This is war not some popularity contest of anonymous user's on a comment site.

Agree(3) | Disagree(5) | Report

donator - 539 days 22 hours ago

Funny how you avoided this until I called you out on the other news post. But it's sad how you resulted to insults and ad hominem just because someone found evidence against you. Maybe Homicide isn't truly an unbiased person, I don't know, I haven't been at N4G that long.

But what I do know is that you said something hypocritical, challenged someone to find evidence of it, and he did. And credibility does count here at N4G. There's a lot of fanboys on both sides of the aisle, but there are some people here that try to be fair and balanced. It's important that we distinguish these people and give them the respect that they deserve. I take their comments more seriously and give them more merit than fanboy comments. Even at N4G, it's possible to have a civilized discussion.

Edit: I just read your bio..
"I will do whatever I can to stop Sony fishheads from spreading their lies about what many know as the best gaming console today the Xbox 360."

I don't even know why I should bother. I just noticed that I have my second person ignoring my posts. Is that you?

And your point is?...I don't follow. A bad game is a bad game, plain and simple. Just because someone owns a 360 doesn't mean they have to buy it. This game won't sell period. No one needs bad games and thankfully there are people paid to play bad games so we don't have to.

Judge not a console on crappy developers and Shovelware.
PS2 had a TON of titles that were lame like this one, and it was still one of the greatest Consoles of all time.

As Stated above, a bad game is a bad game. A Bad came could be on PS3, or on 360 or on wii.. hell, A bad game could be a nasa Super Computer.

Superfragilistic - 540 days 14 hours ago

@blindfromthesun & iamtehpwn

Completely agree. Bad games are bad games regardless of platform. And all gamers should hate them and hide their money from such developers to kill this disgraceful shovelware.

You couldn't pay me to play PS3 exclusives Lair, Haze or Gundam.
You couldn't pay me to play 360 exclusives Operation Darkness, Bomberman: Act Zero or Vampire Rain (avoid it at all costs if it does turn up on PS3 in August)
And don't get me started about the Wii! That system has multiples more shovelware than quality titles...

And yes if previous generational leaders such as the PS2, PS1 & N64, SNES, and NES are any indication, there's unfortunately plenty more to come in the future for all gamers. :(

I've not even heard of this game. Isn't this the same dev that is doing Disagea 3 on the PS3?? Atlus?

Anyway, this game needs to be put into a plastic bag and wrapped up tight and taken out to the trash because it is a stinker.

@Sonarus: Ok, man unless you really want to start losing bubbles you need to ease up on that because it doesn't fit you. Funny how you wanting to be a fanboy what side you chose.

That's what happen when you make rpg for the 360. I bet Altus didn't even allocate enough resouces for the game, since 360 fans have a strong distaste toward jrpg. Altus, stick with making jrpg for the ps2 and the ps3 ;).
