I dunno I kind of found it interesting that amongst ALL THOSE FREE PAY ads on the site, one of them was for a free xbox 360. That kind of made me snicker a bit.
Interesting that this topic gets brought up right now though because I have an interesting personal note for tomorrow's podcast and that's all I'm going to say for now
Amature Ad-Whore trying to make a quick buck.
Too bad the site looks like trash... By the way: mcziggz@anti360.com Thanks for using our forum to advertise. I appreciate it.
Same goes for the PS2 and Gamecube. Not for the N-gage though.
Too bad that's half true. Microsoft distinctly said the system was upgradeable. You can upgrade the DVD drive to HD-DVD.
Isn't this supposed to be "episodic content"? Meaning, you can buy a piece of game for drastically a lot less than a normally-priced game and if you do like what you're playing, you can purchase future parts for a few dollars apiece? This isn't as costly BUT it is incredibly risky. The future portions could take a huge dip in terms of quality.
Quake 4?
I can't believe this is one of the more smarter things said there yet.
Hmm, I'd say this sounds quite true.
Uh, yeah? That thing is BULKY. AS. HELL. And FPSs are not meant for stupid controllers. THEY ARE FUCKING KEYBOARD AND MOUSE AND NOTHING ELSE. [quote]
Well, keyboard being the best fps controller is more of an opinion. I'm not much of an FPS fan, but I'd much rather use a controller when I do play one. It just depends on what you're used to.
The new Revolution controller seems to have a lot of FPS fans thinking it'll be brilliant for those types of games too.
Well neither has the PS2 but it's time to move on.
For starters even if there was an HD-DVD drive Microsoft has said they wouldn't use the format for games, only movies. Also the way things are looking now Blu-ray will probably end up dominating the market.
Well they do have a better online gaming system as well as a matching system. Content downloads, add-ons, etc.
Yes it is stupid and nobody is forcing you to buy them. But a lot of people buy stuff so they can customize it (ie. stupid iMACS, iPODS, Gameboy Micros, multi-colored game systems, etc.)
Total speculation and comepletely unsubstanciated
Granted there will be games that do not take the full advantage of the hardware, just like any console launch. But there will be games that truely shine on the console. PGR3, DOA 4, Kameo, Call Of Duty 2, are some pretty good games that look great on the console. Others like Gun, King Kong, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, do not use upgraded character models, just enhanced textures.
In a couple of weeks you'll put Halo 2 in and see that the game emulation has the game running smoother with higher-res graphics (720i). Just because you buy a new console doesn't mean you should throw your old games away.
So far this is just speculation. But that could be true that it's for hype. Of course we don't know how short the stores will be because nobody has been shipped their allocations yet.
Once again, since the market is heading towards Blu-ray, you probably won't be buying an upgrade for your system. Also once again Microsoft will not be using HD-DVD for it's games.
The original XBOX used the hard drive for saves and downloadable content. The PS2 didn't come with a memory card but games support memory card saves. Nobody is saying game publishers couldn't make a game requiring a hard drive.
OK this is just a retarded argument. The first controller design isn't even used anymore. They were too big. The new controller is almost the same as the current controllers except with the black and white buttons becoming new trigger buttons.
Well seeing as most publishers haven't even announced most of their 1st quarter titles yet I don't see how you can even claim that. Sure there will be more games coming out for existing systems but that's not a reason not to buy a system.
Right. Because you know those triple core 3.2 gHz based PCs out there are a dime a dozen.
True, the games at launch will not take full advantage of all the 360 has to offer. But that doesn't mean they'll suck. That's like saying "Stay out of the movie theatres until every movie is being shot on digital." Specs do not make a great game system. The games do.
Wow, what an original idea. I'm sure a website like gamespot would never come up with that one. You know it's funny, the last time I checked it was the Microsoft XBOX 360, not the Microsoft Dreamcast 2 or the Sega XBOX 360.
You know there's othergames out there other than Halo.
I think what they've done with the backwards compatability is pretty good so far. 200 games at launch with more being added each week isn't bad. Plus the added enhancements are nice. OK, for starters, if you're going to make claims like this at least back them up with facts. Also the website looks like crap, and a bad attempt to get some click-throughs. I'm sure there are people who agree that buying a 360 at launch is a bad idea. But the reasons you gave are not really valid. Also, thanks for spamming.
Somebody hasn't been reading the news . Just curious, didn't you make a similar statement on a podcast not to far back? Not to say you don't make a perfectly valid point right now too.
Actually I have been reading the news. Just because Microsoft is saying they're shipping X number of units doesn't mean more will arrive than stated. I have a feeling that will be the case as I stated on this week's podcast.
Point taken. (Again) *listens* Oh, I see. Only time shall tell .
