Sorry:

4 AAA's = 90 - 95 % overall

1 AAAA = 100%

100% > 90 - 95%

Sooshy

Halo 3 = 9.5

GRAW = 9.2

PDZ = 9.0

Forza 2 = 9.2

Average that and you get about 92% or so?

Top four PS3 exclusives:

MGS4: 10

Resistance: 8.6

Tekken 5: 8.3

Uncharted 8.0

Average: 87%?

92% > 87%.

Based on Gamespot Scores - MGS4: 100% > 92.25% [(95% + 92% + 90% + 92%) / 4]

That would be the statistical proof that you would need to support that one AAAAE (MGS4) beats the four AAAE that you mentioned in your support.

Here's what you should have said:

In a TRUE comparison between the top 4 exclusives for the Xbox 360 and PS3 (based on metacritic aggregate scoring) it would actually look like this:

Xbox 360*:

• Halo 3: 94
• Forza Motorsport 2: 90
• Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter: 90
• Project Gotham Racing 3: 85

Average: 89.75%

* You can't add Gears of War to this list because it is not exclusive to the Xbox 360 console, neither is Bioshock nor Mass Effect.

PS3:

• Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: 94
• Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction: 89
• Uncharted: Drake's Fortune: 88
• Resistance: Fall of Man: 86

Average: 81.75%

This would have been a much smarter argument for superiority of the Xbox 360's library to date. However, given the year gap between launches, I really don't think that this gap will exist much longer nor do I feel that it's significant. And, one could argue that in no way has MGS4 been properly rated by those who gave it less than a 95. But that's a matter of opinion and not statistical fact.

In the end this tread is just damage control. You say: "Why do you say it's damage control?" I say this for several reasons:

1. You are posting this as a response to gamers across the country being captivated by MGS4.
2. You feel that people shouldn't feel that MGS4 makes the PS3 better than the Xbox 360 (when that's just opinion).
3. You have ignored facts and instead presented your opinions as counter argument.

Thanks for your time and effort. However, your DC skills are lacking.

Edit: Forgot the grammar check.

[QUOTE="vash47"]Lol at Halo 3 and Gears of War.Pro_wrestler

Considering we have games that are already copying aspects of Halo 3s online, its no surprise. Its hands down the most well built and solid game this generation, your opinions of it aside.

1. Gears of War- First game to make you go "wow" this gen, made PC games cry for a short while.
2. Assassins Creed- (Looks as good as Gears of War but the amount of people on screen while doing so is what blew me away.)
3. Halo 3- Raised the bar for online gaming.
4. Bioshock- Most atmospheric game to date?
5. Prolouge- Because those cars can't get any more real looking.

If GT5 manages to look like GT5P with damange modeling, abit better enviornments and hundreds of cars then it would have the potential to be number 1 on my list.

I feel bad for you. You obviously haven't played MGS4 yet. Your sig says you are anticipating LBP... that mean you have a PS3? If so, where's the MGS4?

Why do you feel bad for me? I don't even like MGS as a series, I say that in every thread. I enjoyed Snake Eater but its not my cup-o-tea.

See that's the thing. I know several people that could say the same thing as you and they have all said that MGS4 was different for them. It allowed them to play the game the way they wanted and they weren't penalized for it. I just feel that everyone who has an opportunity to play MGS4 should do so. That's it. And to respond to one of your blog post. There isn't a single cutscene that's over an hour in the whole game.

5. Super Mario Galaxy

TC said "technically" impressive, not artistically impressive, but I can see now that you might be comparing gameplay as a technical aspect.

Overall, I'd have to say MGS4 and Crysis are right at the top and believe me I've played the hell out of both games already. Its interesting that both games had an online that I could consider mediocre and single player campaigns where you could choose to be stealthy or attempt to be Rambo. But overall, Crysis is the best on PC and MGS4 on any console.

If you would like my 5 current console games it would be (the ones I've played): Gears, Bioshock, MGS4, Uncharted, and COD4 *gasp*, yeah I said it. I was comparing the overall gameplay and graphics combination that all pushed their genre forward.

[QUOTE="DeadToFall"]are the people that are voting mgs4 retarded? uncharted and gears both look better then thatPolaris_choice

No like me they probaly actually played the games. I challenge anyone to prove to me they played MGS4 and then tell me it doesnt look better then Gears of War or Mass Effect. Prove it to me by telling me your gamerstag and well see if you own both. Mine is TheSterls on both my PS3 and 360. And yes I own Gears of War, Mass Effect , Uncharted and MGS4 . If you want to talk about visuals MGS4 is simply far ahead of any game on console right now.

Honestly, I don't own an Xbox 360 or Gears or Mass Effect, but from what I've read and heard in video reviews from both IGN and Gamespot, MGS4 is the best looking game currently out. I've already beaten MGS4...

***Spoiler Alert***

When you fight Liquid Ocelot on top of Outer Haven it was as if you were playing a CG movie. This was compounded by the fact that you had contextual sensitive actions along with free fighting.

P.S. Can someone tell me how you make the spoiler tab so I can hide stuff in the future? Just PM.

Single Player: MGS4

Multiplayer: COD4

Since I have only experimented with MGO a little, I'll have to say "dido" there. You could argue that right now the multiplayer portion of MGS4 is just a trial and therefore not actually part of the game. Good idea at first glance but could end up rubbing people the wrong way. Honestly though, until you beat MGS4 on "The Boss: Exteme" with a "perfect" playthrough (read: no Alerts, no kills, no continues/health items, under 5 hrs) you could always go back and play more. I'm on my second play through right now.

[QUOTE="GUNpoint_"]the X360 has four AAAE's? where? all i count is 2. PD0 & Halo 3. both of which are garbage. Gears & all those others are on PC...manny280

Ya Halo 3 is garbage. :roll:

No, not at all, and I know that was sarcasm, but it is overly similar to the first two entries in the series with what, an added 'forge mode'? Please, there has to be something in the review tha says 'sorry, its just more of the same' which is alright, but I dont think it should be AAA on it's thrid run-through.

its a ***** series of course its similar thats like saying HL 2 is **** b/c iits to similar to HL, or SMG to any mario, or Zelda Tp,Oot, GTA 4 to San Andreas and even MGS 4 to MGS 3 the majority of these games are very similar to their predecessors and added some new things to an already AAA franchise how can that be worse than the games before it or only alright :roll:

Your analogy fails hard. SMG revolutionized Mario games in it's use of gravity and solid use of the Wii's controllers. OOT was the first 3D Zelda adventure (Read: First of it's kind--TP was more of the same... you have that there), GTA4 was the refinement of the series and added a lot to what had arleady made the GTA franchise great, not to mention the massive headway made in online; Halo 2 was very similar to Halo 3 except for tweaks in a few weapons and the change in First-Person view (more visor appearance), sure the graphics got better but in no way was their a leap in gameplay (only thing worth bothering would be the ability to reload weapons seperately) as there was with all the other examples you tired to use as a bad counter-arguement. And I would have to use the massive number of Halo 3 fans that moved over to COD4 after holding out a week as an example of Halo 3's "lasting appeal". And I agree with Sacred-Snow, you buy a shooter to shoot; not to run around and take pictures of yourself doing stupid physics tricks (read: Gmod).
