If you're going to take the time to comment, at least read what you're about to bash first.
This article mentions GEARS OF WAR nowhere.
It specifically states "commenting on multiplayer lag issues on XBLA."

haha bill gates son has chosen to edit his post, nice, cmon billy boy, keep your kid in check

Firewire6147d ago

So now MS blames lag on developers!
What a load of crap! Those same dev's build games for PSN & PC with no lag!
Its called dedicated servers you little xbots!
Your paying $50 a year for garbage "live" and you don't even get dedicated servers! MS is in serious denial mode!
For shame xbots/MS, for shame!

AngryTypingGuy6147d ago

Hate to tell you "Bill Gates", but both Sony and Nintendo have a LONG way to go before they can rival the Xbox Live service. I'm not saying that they won't get there, because quality will come with time, but it's not going to happen over night.

"Bill Gate5" with a 5, you rule.

darkdoom30006147d ago

co-operating with/encouraging fanboys will probally mean you are a fanboy yourself...
All bill gates' is not cool...

He seems allright to me, from that snippet anyway, He didn't kick dirt on the competition. Whenever I hear about an interview with a Sony exec I get Mad nervous, praying that they don't say anything retarded.

I mean its bad enuff the PS3 costs a million dollars, don't need dumbass comments to make anything worse.

The Title is more exciting that the article. : (

Good one drtysouf21

Bloodmask6147d ago

that XBOX live is the number 1 online choice so far this generation. There will always be lag wether it be to a server or P2P.

Actually P2P is one of the biggest advantages bc as games get older they will be taken off of their respective servers for new ones to replace them.

This has already happened with EA games that are old. With XBOX live all you need is 2 people to have the same game and to get online. Whether it be a new game or a game that is 10 years old.

DJ6147d ago

suffers from lag. Makes me wonder where that $150 million a year is going towards, especially when compared to the reliable, free networks provided by Nintendo and Sony.

Boink6147d ago

he is saying that the bulk of the time, the lag is coming from bad/inneficient programming, not from the actual network.

I mean how can halo2 run flawlessly 95%+ most of the time on the same network, but contra that send's like 1/10th of the data oe less on the same network doesn't?

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos3h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto3h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger882h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis20h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast18h ago

It's worth a play through today.

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.

jznrpg1d 14h 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.

darthv721d 14h ago

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