[quote name='zewone']"Reward" is not what I would call that. "Rape".[/QUOTE]

Now you're bitching about the price? Why the shift all of a sudden? :lol: We were talking about the adding and removing of features and who got screwed more. :razz:
 
Because you said "rewarded" which I can't just let you slide with.

Yes, let's praise Sony for removing features, but bitch about MS adding features.

Giving us a full BC PS3 and removing it for those who bitched about price, or the 360 adding a feature that was constantly slammed as not being important and screwing those who bought it first... :whistle2:k Hmm...

How about we bitch about MS screwing over early adopters? Those who actually bought the thing and supported them despite the 'success' of the original Xbox.

yep
 
Adding a video port and removing a PS2 or not even close to the same level.

HDMI vs. component is not that huge.

PS2 vs. no PS2 is a huge difference.

We weren't talking about the significance of the additions and removal of features, yet again, we were talking about who got screwed over more.

I was talking about the significance this entire time.

I was talking about who got screwed over more, it's obvious that the addition of HDMI doesn't compare to the removal of BC.

Adding something that you said wasn't important and screwing over early adopters is worse than removing something leaving the early adopters with a better model.

Both are bad... but one's slightly worse ... that was the entire point of my arguement.
 
[quote name='zewone']Similar to Sony's "BC is super important" stance.[/QUOTE]

I don't think MS cares all that much either anymore. They haven't updated it in a while. My Xbox DVD drive is a Thompson piece of shit that barely works. So I'd appreciate being able to play all of my Xbox games on my 360. Whatever though, I should just go find a replacement drive.

I don't play PS1 or PS2 games on my PS3. I've complained about the input lag, granted, most shit it doesn't even matter with, but the bigger factor now is DVDs and CDs causing Blu-ray drives to fail faster. Besides, my PS2 works just fine for that, and I can't play imports on my PS3.

And I agree, HDMI isn't as significant as taking out BC. Component does a fine job, I'd just like to have HDMI because I'd use it with my receiver. Adding it after they said it wasn't necessary irks me, but whatever. Like I said, that's the price you pay for early adoption. How many people have old iPods that don't have shit compared to new ones?
 
[quote name='ninja dog']Not the best game, but one of the better gaming experiences I've had.

Mass Effect is shaping up nicely too. I didn't do a whole lot of side missions, so my playthrough is around 21 hours, but I feel like starting up New Game+ immediately after finishing. Also had lesbian sex twice, which is two more times than any other game has offered.[/quote]


yeah, I still strongly know Mass Effect was a better GotY than Bioshock.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']yeah, I still strongly know Mass Effect was a better GotY than Bioshock.[/QUOTE]

Naw, Bioshock got what it deserved ... may not be my GOTY but it deserved it over Mass Effect.
 
Bioshock sucks. /opinion

It's hard for me to ignore anything about Bioshock without taking a shot at it. :)

Damn, I need to play something after I eat. Maybe SFIV?

SFIV su- ah, who am I kidding, it doesn't. *clicks GT* ... RE5 sucks.

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']Still disagree.

If anything I'd say it's more dead even. Mass Effect would have definitely been better if it wasn't as glitchy as it was. The PC version is proof.[/QUOTE]

Meh, we can only agree to disagree.

But atleast we knew that M$ didn't care much about BC from the start.

Also, watching DVDs makes the drive fail faster? thats the first I heard of it. Not that it's a big deal since I'm planning to get a Blu-ray player soon enough. I've already had a few problems with watching anime DVDs on my PS3.
 
I'm not sure if I'm selling my handhelds gunm.
I just never really use either, and to be honest I think I'd be better off without them.
They just seem...boring to me.
It's more to see if I'll get some nice offers...
If the offer is right, off they go :)

Oh, and L4D=GOTY '08?
Maybe.
 
[quote name='distgfx']Except early adopters actually got rewarded for once.[/QUOTE]

Indeed. I love the BC, and would be disappointed if my PS3 wasn't.


As far as being screwed over by price...nah. I use my PS3 almost every day so it was worth it. Also it has yet to break.

*clicks GT* Castle Crashers sucks. And Ninja Bladen? :lol: How is that one?

True on MS not caring from the start. But it would be nice to have all of my Xbox games BC on my 360. /dreaming

It's any DVD medium, PS2 game, DVD movie, etc. It apparently has to do with the laser having to change focus, and after a while it'll stop reading any discs. My friend's 80 GB lasted 4 months because he watched movies on it and played PS3 games on it all the time. All that focusing took the drive out. Not saying that's always the case, but I've heard other reports of this happening.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']*clicks GT* Castle Crashers sucks. And Ninja Bladen? :lol: How is that one?[/QUOTE]

Hah, you picked the wrong ones to pick on. :razz:

Ninja Blade is ... average I guess, very meh.
 
[quote name='tiredfornow']L4D is definitely GOTY 08.[/quote]

[quote name='distgfx']L4D's good, but not GOTY material...[/quote]


I'm with you fellas.
 
So what was everybody's GOTY?
Fallout 3 seems to be the main one. I played the first 1.5 hours and thought it was ok.
I'll obviously have to play through it.
I guess mine right now is GOW:Chains Of Olympus. 2008 had NOTHING on 2007, IMO.
 
[quote name='distgfx']Conflicting opinions? :whistle2:s[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Azumangaman']Yeah Jest, I think you're confused....[/QUOTE]

Guess some people haven't seen Oh Brother Where Art Thou? :D

I should have L4D from Goozex any day (maybe in the mail at the office already).

Does it have local co-op play or just online? Hoping the former so I can play with my roommate.


As for GOTY, too many I haven't played yet. I'm always behind since I don't play a ton and wait for stuff on Goozex so it's usually the following summer or fall before I can pick a firm GOTY for the prior year.

Gears 2 has that spot now for the campaign (have beaten in 3 times--casual by myself then hardcore and insane with my roommate in co-op). I love the Gears games, so I doubt anything will surpass it. Fallout 3 (which I have on the shelf waiting more free time, probably has the best chance. Playing Fable 2 and like it a lot, but not as much, and I don't see myself like L4D more. And that's probably all the 2008 games I'll play that I haven't yet unless something is slipping my mind.

My personal GOTY? Ninja Gaiden 2, I enjoyed that game more than any other 2008 game.

[quote name='dmaul1114']Guess some people haven't seen Oh Brother Where Art Thou? :D.[/QUOTE]

Nope ... is that a movie? I very rarely watch movies.
 
[quote name='refusedchaos']2 player local, 4 online[/QUOTE]

Awesome.

[quote name='distgfx']

Yep, one of my favorites, and that was a funny line from the beginning.
 
My most played game in 2008 was Soul Calibur IV, 200 hours of the PS3 version to date, don't know how many of the 360 version, but probably less than 20.

As far as GOTY '08 goes, I really liked DMC4, Fallout 3 was good, I haven't played all of Gears 2 campaign, and MGS4 was good, but I wanted more of the first 2 acts. So, I don't know what I'd pick.
 
Wait until Alien Hominid HD hits 400 points and get that. It's either tomorrow or next week (pretty sure it's next week).

Seriously? Sold. Wait until then Puma.

Sweet, I've been wanting to get that for forever but not for ten bucks.
