You get an extended warranty on consoles sent back from M$ service.
refuted.
Except it's not true. Whether or not there are multiple RROD's doesn't matter for crap, the warranty info he gives is completely wrong. REturned systems have a new warranty (6 months if I remember correctly) on all hardware issues. It's bullshit that he says otherwise.
It wasn't sarcasm. Look up the definition. It might have been an exageration, but it was a poorly founded one as almost every good original xbox title was online capable.
You might not think it's a big deal, but once other PS2 servers start going down, servers for cult games with no planned sequels and a small core group of fans, it'll start to be a little more upsetting.
It would be nice if some of the developers issued patches to allow P2P play. You might not l...
Your question looks at it from one side only. I'm sure most gamers (read: not casual) have at least one game that wasn't huge last gen that they loved playing. I still play mine from time to time, and love it, and guess what else? In 10 years, if I want to go back with some friends I have back home I'll still be able to play it. It's a small thing, but it still sucks not to have it.
Are they sure he means a new windows, or could it be just a large update to vista?
From what the answer said, it sounds like it could have gone either way. I'm sure if it is an entirely new version they'll figure out some way of doing upgrades without it being to costly to early adopters of vista. They'd lose a shat load of business for making people ugrade again so quickly.
Are starting to show their downside.
Cmon peoples. I'd rather have some destructability than none atall. Chances are even with limited destructibility (read: more than every other game released) it'll still add a lot to the game.
It might not be as fancy as say Force unleashed, but it's still a great leap forward from more conventional fps's
Personally, I don't care how much a company spends as long as it keeps making more.
How did the Wii drop 67%? I am confizzled.
I never trusted VGChartz for more than a general estimate, but still.
Also, I'd wait on NPD for 360vPS3 sales. I'd imagine they're pretty close, of course a game console has never been a cheap alternative to a media player before.
1 Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (PSP) 277,653 277,653 [NEW]
PSP: 71,042 (-18%) [86,635]
I find it hilarious that the game can sell so well and the hardware still goes down.
Also, handhelds break the top a lot mroe than you'd think. They're just so darn many of them
There are 2 viable options for DD to enter the media market. The first competes directly with physical media, and will be cheaper. The second competes with rentals, and would be absolutely brilliant once it hit.
1.) The first type involves downloading the media to collect onto a thumb drive/similar device from a retailer or just downloading from the internet. It would be stored on HardDrives at your house, rather than in cabinets at your house. The only major issue is whether o...
There are times it crosses the lines like when you are charged for content the developers already have produced when the game launches, but the rest of the article is just him whining to hear himself whine.
You quit after the tutorial levels. of course you found it boring.
Also, you want to know what else that list didn't include? 9/10ths of the games coming for 360 in 09.
but the story doesn't affect my argument at all.
I was talking gameplay. They both have decent stories, though they are completely different.
Both games play essentially the same. If MGS played just like GoW and kept the same story, feel free to compare them, but they play completely differently. NG and GoW do not other than the fact that the combos are different and the characters have abilities that correspond to the type of person they are. They are both still hack n slash games with changable weapons, upgradable abilities...
THEIR LIKE THE EXACT SAME THING! The only reason GoW sold so much better last gen (aside from marketing) is that there were more than 5 times as many PS2s in the world.
horizons had better crafting as well as community impact on the global world.
Realm/community triggered events and being able to build cities was awesome.
It had issues, but it was way better than WoW in that regard.
Asherons call was a sweet game too in a whole lot of regards. Tons of dungeons to help avoid tedious grinding (though still grinding), and a good party system for it too.
Also death penalties. It was hell running to get ...
He tosses out Ninja Gaiden (Hack n Slash), Too Human (Hack n Slash with heavy RPG elements), Fable (RPG with Hack n Slash combat), Halo Wars (RTS), and Halo Chronicles (???). Then, he continues to keep 5 shooters (only 2 of which he thinks he'll buy), and a hack n slash game on the PS3 side.
What a BS article. I clicked this thinking I'd see something explaining how PS3's list includes 2-3 WHOLE years, while 360's includes this holiday and maybe early next year (Halo chronicles...
When did people start hating on the wii? Has the writer heard some of the stuff being said about PS3's and 360s?
edit: let me clarify. All the "wii bashing" isn't really bashing. It's valid complaints with the console's staying power/Nintendo's view on what gamers want. They are very valid concerns for a lot of people. I wouldn't call any of it bashing, because I've never seen anyone rant or flame about the Wii. I've only ever heard people rationally voice concerns....
