According to Shawn Microsoft told him one thing and Mark Rein (Epic) said that it's not true. And it was not just once...

No way, a company lied? Alert the press! This must be the first major company ever to lie.. And I still don't even know what they lied about.

:lol: At least Nintendo never came out and actually said Nintendogs was for girls (even though we all knew it was). Bill lost so many Viva Pinata sales for that comment. Oh well, he could afford it.

Obviously not young girls but definately all those "macho" 360 owners (don't pretend like you don't know who I'm talking about).

Exposed? They've been known to be blatant liars for so long regarding their hyping of their software and defense of their various illegal/immoral actions its really par for the course. If anything thats why so few Microsoft fans are replying.

Nintendogs was initially created for children in Japan who either didn't have the money or didn't have the space for an actual pet. Seeing at Tamagochi was also initially created for that purpose and was/is very popular with girls theres some validity in your statement.

There have been statements by Microsoft that in order to not make certain DLC look like too good of a deal and undermine paid or more expensive content that they'll modify pricing (all the while denying that they modify pricing).

:D What's the word I'm looking for? Damage Control at it's best. Had this been Sony lying it would be flooding System Wars. Microsoft is messing up, expensive 360 Elite, Wii is for kids under 14, and now this. Don't try to deny it.

I would respond but i dont feel like sifting through a podcast just to see what you guys are talking about, if it was about the price modifying then yeah, thats pretty lame, but what are we gonna do. But i also just realized that if it was sony that did it i would probably go tell my cousin and we would began laughing bout how big a liar sony is, atleast i realized i'm kind of a lemming unlike some people.:)

 But i also plan to buy a ps3 during the fall or whenever final fantasy comes out, so i'm also not a lemming, p.s. neverplayed a FF game, except FFXI, so i'm kinda looking forward to it.

Didnt Mark Rein Lie about the party system in Gears. Another dev said that they were able to and they even said, they dont know what Epic are talking about. Mark switchies back and forth so fast. I wouldnt trust him 100%.

No, he didn't. He actually talked about that on the podcast. They couldn't get it to work because of time. He also said that the games in the near future will be using it.

Forget the podcast, Mark said this a while ago. Another 360 game came out with the party system. Then Mark used theHalo 2 compatbility issue to cover this. I like Epic, but their reaction to the noise made about Gears being broken isnt something to brag about. His reply was, well its the biggest selling game. He wasnt that bothered about fixing or admitting the problems with it. Too busy counting the money. I also think he is playing shift the blame game with Microsoft to keep them looking good in the public eye. Btw every other podcaster and their dog was complaining about it. I know they fixed some issues, but not the major. I know he said that they will make use of it in the future, but when is there next game due on the 360. It is also after other games have employed this system, without any problems. This company was also on the 1up and the crew make jokes about. So I see right through it.

You are imagining things. Cliffy B said the same thing as Mark. They were on a schedule to get the game done and there wasn't enough time.

There's always some validity to all of my statements, I just emphasize most of my points to exaggerated levels.
