I really don't like block pink consoles, i'd love it if they mixed pink with purple and black to make an interesting pattern, i can understand most guys not wanting a pink consoles, but doesn't mean all girl gamers would be taken in
I will honestly say MAG actually looks quite aesthetically pleasing, however i'm not into Squad based shooters, this one would be more for the Multiplayer gamer. Also i don't get why people come out with statements like "Upto 256 Live players compared to Gears, KZ2, MW2 etc...it must be better" In my eyes, this game has been designed from the ground up for MMO gameplay, so they've worked on the engine for that purpose, and so does the fact other games which don't support as many players make that game inferior?....of course not. MAG is purely multiplayer, and not everyone who uses their console/PC plays online, a lot do, but also a lot don't and prefer single player games like myself
this is what annoys me about these arguements, it's a 50/50 arguement, if you're gonna go with console vs console then don't bring the PC into this. If you're gonna say all platforms then by all means don't discredit the PC as being a dying format and being expensive to keep up with, this used to be the case but even a powerful pc will last you quite some years especially within the last year or so (atleast as far as the games are going) In regards to fanatics and these arguements, it's like bart simpson said "You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't" You bring up the PC, you'll get knocked down, however if you don't mention it someone will come out with a statement like "i can play that xbox game on the PC" "Oh really?....how you gonna manage that?....emulation?" "No, All 360 games are on PC" (Face palms)
In online games i would get pretty mad if someone cheats, but lets face it, it's a different story for single player games, when i've completed a game, i'd cheat a little to get a bit more enjoyment out of a title....c'mon....who remembers cheating in older games like quake (Impulse 9 anyone?) just to have a fragging spree! Actually....i used to practice playing doom and quake with cheats on just to get quite good and get used to the games about 12 years ago, (kinda like training wheels lol), now i don't really play using cheats....unless i really am bad at a game like i said, only for practice and fun
I Love heavy metal!! i just don't get why people call rock/metal music all screamo and shouty, i actually had a similar conversation with some girls i know and they seem to think you can't understand a single lyric in rock music....hmmm....funny, but i think they need to get their ears tested, oh and they were more into chart music like neyo, lady gaga and....whoever else they're into. IMO there's very little passion in music now that is mostly electronic (mostly sampler and drum machines used) especially if you don't craft the rhythm, melody and sounds yourself(which is why i think a lot of the pop chart music sounds so samey)....prolly why i like chip tunes from retro games, it is electronic but though there is a sense of passion in the songs which makes some chiptunes sound way ahead of their time considering the technology used
this could be a number of things: Heavy traffic on the download server Poor ISP speeds more than 1 download slowing it down From what i've seen of both networks(Live and PSN), both are actually pretty responsive, so it largely equates to your connection, so i really don't get this whole Xbox lag/ PSN is slow malarkey which fanatics constantly go on about
Hmmm....when all other console companies copy an idea it's plagarism, when sony copies an idea...its original is it? (i know i know, heard this arguement before) I really don't get that arguement. I liked the idea of the sixaxis when it actually worked in games, i liked the wiimote when it actually controlled games properly, just not sure if people will bite i can only really see Wii and casual gamers even remotely looking at this. Application of use permitting ofcourse (Thats if it works perfectly)
Ever tried or considered a powerline LAN? I came to the same conclusion about wireless after lots of disconnects, and opted for a powerline setup, and it's actually quite good for live and my PC
Biggest mistake? Hmmm.... Charging too much for certain accessories which in reality are standard PC components like the hard disk upgrades and the Wireless lan adapters, which have been customised to only work on the 360, those are my only complaints about MS. I don't really have a problem with XBLs gold service as the fees work out to mere pocket change per week I started reading that linked article and i personally disagree with the whole disillusioned statement of "Halo was the Xbox's saving grace" Halo was my 1st Xbox game, but after completing it i didn't go back to play it again. At the time, i wanted Malice over Halo but that wasn't out for ages, even then it wasn't what i hoped for. (After seeing tech demos of it) i've also tried Halo 2 and 3 and to be fair, i didn't like them, so i personally disagree with the halo statement, besides, my 1st retail game on the 360 was actually PDZ which i still would rather play than halo, sure the characters looked like plastic dolls but i enjoyed it
