I just love how you are all over the place. It proves you don't have a point.

That's why I said "NEXT!" because I knew you were going to change the subject. And you did.

You need to stop embarrasing the hermits.Even the most annoying ones that post here at least have a point. (mostly)

Tney give feed back to their fans

XBL has a huge community/developer rapport.

lol I knew my title sounded funny, btw for someone who is complaining about my grammar sure forgot about his spelling, lol.

Anyway back to topic. 360 is just the PC , MS felt threatened by Sony and Nintendo so they joined the GI to direct it the way of PC gaming. If MS wins we ALL lose, MS will turn console gaming like PC gaming, always buying additional accessories, always upgrading hardware in 3 years, games only complete with DLC, online cost rising. Madness I tell you madness !!!

ok I'm good :P

Judging by Microsofts actions this gen I don't think they care about the GI, they would go to extreme lengths to come out on top, paying huge amounts of money to gain exclusives or steal excluives, making crappy hardware to get a head start, consoles to become more like PC's, thinking they can get any game they want etc etc. MS is really trying to criple the games industry, I don't believe gaming being like this in the 90's. Sure Sega, Nintendo and Sony were fighting for 1st place but they weren't cheap like MS is this gen.

Honestly if MS ever leads the Games industry then its the end of gaming as we know it, Microsoft is trying to stear gaming in a direction which will destroy it while Sony and Nintendo are the true gamers who want good for the industry. Sony and Nintendo have contributed greatly to gaming with their superb 1st party titles while MS hasn't really done anyhting. online gaming was 1st done by Sega and even PS2 had it before the Xbox. MS is trying to turn console like PC's, with ongoing costs and emphasis on downloadable content. Seriously if MS leads then expect games to never be complete on day 1 but with DLC.

Almost all 360 games can be found on PC, MS are not talented they just shell out money to get games, Sony and Nintendo use their brains to actually make top quality games that really appeal to the consumer. Don't get me wrong I don't hate MS, after all I use their OS but I will not support MS forray into gaming since I know they plan to get a monopoly on gaming.

I know 360 gamers wont agree, but the fact is MS would ditch you guys in a heart beat if they had wanted to, remember the xbox fans.

I could have told you that.dream431ca
But you would be just as wrong as the TC is. :wink:

Microsoft is no different than Sony or Nintendo, and there would be no motivation for MS to destroy the game industry anyway. By shoehorning themselves into console market last gen, they aimed for achieving a nice profitable slice of the industry pie. What good would it do them to drive the industry that they are trying to profit from into the ground?

They have done certain things to move the industry forward whether you like it or not.

My main issue with Microsoft is they are too damn greedy; one of these days they are going to gorge themselves so fat they are going to suffocate in their own neck!

They were in a perfect position to become the PC gaming leader; it was a perfect fit as they owned the gaming OS, controlled several different API standards, had influence over hardware standards and so on. But that's the thing, they might as well be the owners of PC gaming, since they already own it why bother even looking at it again? It is a dominated market and Microsoft is all about taking over everything that talks to a circuit board, like some sort of cybernetic cancer.

So being greedy bastards instead of improving their existing product range they decide they want to monopolize something else. So they abandon their existing gaming market to place a stake in the console market, were despite losing billions they are buying their way into success.

The day they announced the Xbox they ruined their position within PC gaming. They cannot champion PC gaming anymore; because how can you convince others to become PC gamers when you are trying to sell a console? In the brief moments they have to spare for a word on their 'gaming' OS and Games for Windows Live no one cares, no one cares because they don't care enough to put the resources into making these things good; all they care about is taking over the console market right now.

Microsoft's pathetic display of trying to hang on to everything their greedy little hands can get hold of is a joke among PC gamers, they majorly dropped the ball. They are one of the biggest companies on the planet and they cannot even perform at the same level as a tiny little service called Steam, they have seemingly limitless resources at hand and Steam is superior to everything they can make. PC gamers make fun of them, PC gamer podcasts make fun of them, Apple is making fun of them because despite being so big they are performing so crappy.

They are trying to support a console while maintaining their existing monopoly. They are hurting PC by trying to turn it into a console; which in the process they are hurting Xbox because many of its games and services also appear on PC.

As a PC gamer it is hard to take Microsoft seriously anymore, has any of their PC gaming products/services been successful in the last couple of years? Vista the 'gaming' OS is too much of a hardware hog to be an effective mainstream gaming OS, Windows Live is doing badly as can be seen by the drop of fees, DirectX10 was a joke to gamers and they are already trying to hype DX11... OpenGL 3.0 has been under fine tuning for so long god knows what that is going to be like when it is released; compared to the Vista only DX10.

Seriously they should have never entered the console market, in trying to take over a new market they are losing ground in their existing one AND the new one.

I laught at people who consider MGS4 morE of a movie then a game when they clearly haven't played it, I guess it must still hurt that the game got AAAA. 360 gamers are still waiting for MGS4 :lol:

Stevo_the_gamer

PS2 hardware failure was not nearly as worse as 360's, like 3/4 of the 360's userbase are most likely on their 3rd 360 console. The RROD is so widespread that MS had to extend its warranty, Sony didn't need to do that with the PS2. Say if the PS2's hardware failure was bad, Sony learnt from this while oddly MS were doomed to repeat it but a 1000 times worse, lol

A: That Interplay was ruined because of bad mangement?

In 2004, the company was given an eviction notice by its landlord for non-payment of rent, and was briefly shut down by the California government for non-payment of workers' paychecks. This, combined with sketchy and sporadic information from Interplay representatives, led many in the game industry to speculate that Interplay had shut down. In fact, the company relocated to a small office and continued to operate, issuing occasional press releases about new publishing deals or the sale of an IP to another publisher. The company's web site shut down around this time.

In Summer 2005, the Interplay website re-launched with a logo and three links: "About Interplay", "SEC Filings/Financial", "Investor Relations".

In Interplay's 10-K SEC filing made on June 3, 2005, it was revealed under the "Internal Product Development" section that in May 2004, Interplay was forced to close all of their internal development studios due to their inability to meet their payroll obligations in a timely manner. All internally-developed titles were canceled and there are no internally-developed titles being developed. However, under "External Product Development" it was revealed that on December 31, 2004, Interplay had one title being developed by an unnamed third party developer. The title is tentatively being called Ballerium.[3]Majorem, the apparent developer of the title, has since revealed that development of Ballerium (which was intended to be a MMO-RTS) has been suspended as the agreement that was to provide Majorem with the means to launch the title in the summer of 2005 could not be realized. Majorem also noted that this was "apparently due to Interplay's inability to raise the required funding to turn Majorem's technology into a game."[4]Majorem is currently accepting new offers for the licensing of its MMO-RTS technology as well as its almost finished game.

In Interplay's 10-Q SEC filing made on June 21, 2005, it was revealed that under "Commitments and Contingencies" that Interplay Productions has multiple legal proceedings filed against it and has nearly USD$11 million in debt. Of interest is that Interplay received a notice from the IRS stating that they owe approximately $117,000 in payroll tax penalties and that Interplay was fined by the California Labor Board $10,000 for failure to meet payroll obligations and that an August 2005 trial date was set, and that Interplay's "general liability, auto, fiduciary liability, workers compensation and employment practices liability, have been canceled, however Interplay has entered into a new workers compensation insurance plan, Interplay is appealing a separate California Board of Labor fine of $79,000 for having lost their workers compensation plan for a period of time". Under "Contractual Obligations" it is revealed that Interplay does not have a headquarters at present because Interplay, in 2004, forfeited its lease and vacated its office space in Irvine, California.[5]

B:That XBL has community support?

C: Or the fact that you can't spell credible let alone know what it is? Especially since you've been proven wrong :|

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]

"making crappy hardware"

So I guess Sony didn't care about the gaming industry either with the PS2, right?

Swift_Boss_A

PS2 hardware failure was not nearly as worse as 360's, like 3/4 of the 360's userbase are most likely on their 3rd 360 console. The RROD is so widespread that MS had to extend its warranty, Sony didn't need to do that with the PS2. Say if the PS2's hardware failure was bad, Sony learnt from this while oddly MS were doomed to repeat it but a 1000 times worse, lol

"Like 3/4 of the 360s userbase..." Oh, just like I make trillions upon trillions of dollars by stealing every country's GNP? Don't spout such non-sense - millions upon millions of PS2s are affected, leaps and boudns more than the Xbox 360(Since there are 100+ million PS2s, duh).

Funny how Sony MADE you pay 150 dollars to FIX it, and until a class action lawsuit was filed and won - you were forced to pay for an issue in which they knew they shipped with.

Nice try though.

That is true, but it has nothing to do with them going under OR it being MS's fault that they went under like he said earlier.

I laught at people who consider MGS4 morE of a movie then a game when they clearly haven't played it, I guess it must still hurt that the game got AAAA. 360 gamers are still waiting for MGS4 :lol:

Swift_Boss_A

I've played through MGS4 on my PS3 and yeah,I consider it more of a movie than a game. I took my time playing through it and I still managed to get a damn near 1:1 cutscene to gameplay ratio.

PS2 hardware failure was not nearly as worse as 360's, like 3/4 of the 360's userbase are most likely on their 3rd 360 console. The RROD is so widespread that MS had to extend its warranty, Sony didn't need to do that with the PS2. Say if the PS2's hardware failure was bad, Sony learnt from this while oddly MS were doomed to repeat it but a 1000 times worse, lol

Swift_Boss_A

Yeah, Sony only had to be sued before they'd agree to fix the DRE for free. They sure were doing right by their consumers eh? :wink:

Oh and :lol: at you for thinking 3/4 of the 360's userbase is on their 3rd 360. If the failure rates were anywhere near that high, the government would have stepped in and forced a mandatory recall on the system. Oh and I guess you haven't heard that the RROD has virtually been eliminated in newer consoles. So much for that 1000 times worse figure of yours.

Damn dude, please, for your own sake, quit while you're behind. I'm almost feeling sorry for you at this point.
