I disagree. Uncharted 2 IS worth the money, and that wasn't the only game we got this year. inFamous and Killzone 2 were others. View

Divided up, this settlement is only going to give those that were named on the winning side a whopping 16 bucks. Hardly a victory...a pitiful one, at best.

And to think that this is what will await Microsoft if they continue to ban gamers' consoles from XBL if they so much as BREATH on their 360s. Sad thing is that many of those that use such tactics to "thwart piracy" only hurt legit customers, don't solve the problem, assume the "guilty until proven innocent" mentality, and just cause those that were loyal, paying customers to go to piracy because they cannot get past those that think that they are always right in how to deal with this issue. It's sadder that some of the general public will condone this and say "stick it to the pirates" without caring or seeing how this doesn't do a damn thing to those that they target. View

Within context. I love a hot babe in games as much as the next guy, but if you're putting a babe in there for the sake of it, then it's not fun. She'll be awesome to look at, but the game will still be sh!t. But if it's within context, then yeah, it'll sell.

The babe doesn't even have the be the focal point of the game to be successful. Look at Metroid. Samus is effin HOT, but she isn't the big breasted, slutty type you see. She's tough, no BS, and isn't one to really care about what people think about her looks (though it's obvious she's bangin'). Metroid, though, has always been sold as being a tough, non-linear game that, if someone was good enough, you could sequence-break and complete it within 20 minutes. Gameplay, not sex, has always sold Metroid. View

So every single 360 exclusive or multiplat game lived up to the hype, right? Only PS3 exclusives are capable of being overhyped, correct?

And I'm not saying you have no right to your own opinion (hell, if you didn't like KZ2, then so be it. You're missing out on a good FPS, but to each their own). But why do we have to agree with you or anything on the list to be viable?

And by the way, games like ODST and GTA Episodes WERE overhyped (and the only hype the latter really got was from fanboys fighting over whether or not the episodes would stay exclusive or not. No one else really CARED). I don't know about DJ Hero, and I haven't gotten to play Madworld yet, but if it was overhyped by sales only, then the game might be underrated from what I've heard about it (and that was a Wii exclusive, right? Care to explain why I, someone who's labeled as a PS3 fanboy all the time on this site, is saying that a WII game doesn't belong here?). View

That point was never made. He's talking about how games lose quality when being multiplat because they have the other system to think about. YOU'RE talking about how people complain about MS getting a LOT of PS3 third party exclusives to go multiplat.

Those are two completely different points. Hell, did you even READ his comment? View

It's going to take more than deep pockets now to get these developers on board for exclusive DLCs and that (look at how poorly the GTA4 ones did. They weren't exactly crashing servers). If MS wants them, they will have to convince them that the 360 is worth going exclusive for, and with Sony on their heels now, devs are going to wonder if it'll be worth it in the long run.

That's the problem MS's games division has, amongst everything else. View

They still could with THIS. When hearing about these low sales, I could assume Rockstar COULD at least TRY to have it available for the PS3. View

I get called a PS3 fanboy all the time on here , and sometimes it's deserved, but I do like some of the things that are on the 360 (Fable 2, for one). So yeah! View

Ahem...are we BLIND? Can we check this story out some?

Like, um, what interview was this? When was it conducted? What site did this? What site is telling us this on the same day another interview was conducted where the exact same guy dodged a question about the issue? We're supposed to believe THIS stuff against a more creditable site now?

Apparently, it's a creditable Wordpress blog only if there is something you WANT to hear! Oh, how I love how N4G works anymore.

Oh, and to "SDF Repellent", how can I take you seriously with a name like THAT (even though I can't wait for GOW3, either)? You seem to be just as bad as the imaginary group you're trying to "repel". View

F#CK YEAH!! View

It's Bioware that make these rumors start with opening their mouths about it in such a way that makes us speculate. It's not like anyone is trying to take them out of context. Remember that this is someone that is IN Bioware that had dodged the question and not just said NO to the question. Why would he not say no if it WASN'T at least being talked about?

And, like I've said countless times, Bioware continues to try to put the toothpaste back into the tube after spilling it all over the place every time they have loose lips saying something they don't want said. How many times has it been now that someone from Bioware hints at the possibility, only to try to cover their tracks just a day or so later? What else COULD this mean? View

Gamers have been using it for more than a year now, so they must be doing SOMETHING right. View

Why are you people always like that: all disagrees HAVE to be coming from fanboys. If he wants to get the 360 version, then fine. None of us really care about THAT.

He's getting disagrees because the trophy and achievement lists will have the exact same list of things you have to do to get them. I don't think there has been a list let that had completely different lists between each system (maybe one or two besides the PS3's Platinum trophy). He's saying that it would be easier to get the 1000Gs from the 360 version than getting the Plat from the PS3 version (when both lists will be exactly the same).

Now do you see where the disagrees (and lack of logic) have come from? Think about it. View

Exclusive DLC for the 360 version?

Hey, MS was addicted to it in 08, and they seem to think it worked for them, so why not now? View

BC won't be around as long as Sony keeps refusing to retire the PS2. The second they do that, I can guarantee you that we will see BC return. That's why you don't see the BC returning: people are still buying the PS2, so why cut off that source of income if they are still gettting a lot out of it?

@Soda: Wow, how that is not true. If that was, then why in the hell am I down to two bubbles when I haven't made that many comments lately? How long will it be until I'm down to one bubble? If Sony fanboys overpopulate this site (and many of the things I've said could very well be pleasing for them to read), then I would be at 9 bubbles by now. But I'm not. I wonder why that is for me and many of the other so-called "SDF" members you keep wanting to call out every time you troll a topic to claim that you can't make any comment that isn't to the "SDF"'s liking.

Yes, we all know what is going on on this site right now with the "bubble war" that a few people have waged on this site now. Pathetic that someone has felt the need to do such a thing. View

I wasn't giving any hate towards ND (in fact, I LOVE Uncharted 2 and love what they have tried to do for people that want to make a PS3 game). I said that because those that WOULD say that doesn't get the same "you're not a gamer because you said that" that one would get when talking about Valve's games.

I don't say that they've never made a good game at any point, either. Obviously, they have, or they wouldn't have gotten the good graces of gamers. What my problem is that some people deem them to be invincible from criticism coming from anyone. That's what I hate. My point is that as awesome as ND is, they aren't invincible from criticism. I'm not going to say anyone isn't a gamer if they don't like their games. I might say that they aren't thinking right or something, since UC2 is one of the best games of all time, but they have the right to say that (as long as they aren't acting like fanboys doing so, which not all of the critics of ND or Valve are).

Also, I do think that Valve hasn't been what they once were. That and I believe they've become lazy. From the cookie cutter games to the whole thing about them refusing to develop for the PS3 (and the forever changing reason as to why they don't), they haven't impressed me, though, for some reason, people gobble up every little thing they do and defend every little thing they say (and even Valve fans say that they need some PR skills, just make the games and just shut the f*ck up). It sickens me that people who criticize them get treated like they should be executed for their words by the fanboys. I've yet to see even 360 fanboys act like that, and that's saying something.

Don't buy a cell phone, or the 360 rechargeable battery pack, or anything else that has an ION battery in it.

Morons! View

Wow! So many people just came on to attack Dawn of Ashes personally for just saying that Valve games were crappy. Do any of you attackers actually think that we don't have any right to any opinion on their games? I mean, seriously, this is one of the reasons I hate Valve fanboys: they get so f*cking nasty towards anyone that says even one bad thing about Valve. No one else attacks anyone that bad for saying that, say, Naughty Dog's games are crappy, or that Epic Games can't make a good game, whether or not it would actually be true. News flash: not everyone in the world thinks that Valve is the godsend of game development, and Ashes has every right to call himself a gamer. Wanna attack ME? Go ahead, because it wouldn't be the first time some of you have came after me for MY opinions on Valve. Let me see if you can form a viable opinion (agree or disagree) without making a personal attack or a nasty comment that has nothing to do with the discussion at me. I bet you you cannot.

And, in fact, I agree with Dawn, and I'll GLADLY give him an agree...AND A BUBBLE! For one, because of the way YOU people are acting towards his comments (which you all sound like you're ten year old children who had their favorite toy taken away...and that's not a personal attack. You people really ARE acting like children), but he also has a point. Valve hasn't really moved the bar on game development. The Source engine hasn't even been updated in years, all of their games are cookie cutter and extremely overrated (look at Left 4 Dead), and Gabe seems content on keeping the status-quo on their games. Why do you think this woman (who looks like she wants me to get into her pants...I would gladly do that for her, by the way) left Valve?

Seriously, hearing some of you Valve defenders talk, it seems that Half Life and L4D are the only games you've ever PLAYED! GROW UP! View

How does it "show" that he typed it on his PS3? I'm wondering how posting on the PS3 would be any different than on the PC. Please inform me.

Maybe some of you should think before you post!

@Soda Popinsky: For the THIRD time? Do you...remember how every third party exclusive was on the PS2? That and...how did games like Uncharted 2, MGS4, and the upcoming Agent get made if it's "too hard to develop for"?

Or are you really Gabe Newell in disguise? View

I wasn't following the game that much here.

But two things are problematic here:

1. Tecmo didn't keep to their word, even when the game wasn't going to be a hit.
2. PS3's "lost exclusives" are released on same day on the 360, while all 360 lost ones are only released after timed exclusivity runs out, or they never get released on the PS3 at all. There's obviously something wrong with that. Either Microsoft is still being able to use their deep pockets to get these games to their system, or Sony still isn't securing these third party games enough (or both). It's a wonder why this kind of thing only happens to PS3 games while 360 games retain their exclusiveness. Maybe that's a question you could pose on the Warzone (if Sony is doing enough to secure third party exclusives so something like this doesn't happen, regardless of how good a game is looking to be).
