MS has gone in some aspects leaps above Sony but fails to mention what the hell they plan to do about quality control for the most part. Sony priced themselves too high for this generation and got hit with this awful recession. The Wii continues to sell because Nintendo knows how to market.....and thats marketing to kids cus parents will buy almost anything their kid wants.
Bleh if people pre-order just to get the gun theyre just plain lame......if i remember correctly in COD4 an M16A4 which is a starter weapon pretty much decimates people a lot better than the MP 44 which is unlocked at a higher ranking. Oh yeah and i have to agree with people here saying do not pre-order at Gamestop. Gamestop sucks ass they short changed my girlfriend from her plush chicken for the Harvestmoon Island of Happiness i went back to the store to find out that an employee took home the rest and sold them off.. FUCK GAMESTOP
I see nothing wrong about advertising to teens about the Army or for any branch of the DOD. Someone has to take up the rifle and defend this country since like 95% of the adult population is not willing to do so. Catch them at their late teens early twenties. Youth in the battlefield is good since im not too fond of the idea of old gramps humping 15k with a full load. War unfortunately will follow us humans till we disappear from this universe till then we need our troops.
All these war games are supposed to be unreal because if its not it would suck. I dont see any fun in cleaning shitters, fixing up busted up equipment, cleaning your weapon every damn day, getting shot, killed, worrying about your family back home, dealing with shitty weather, starving, going nuts, etc etc etc. Take these games with a grain of salt they are there for entertainment and to perk the interest in mainly the action and weapon systems in the game not to recruit and brainwash kids.
Good move for Square on going multiplat heavy. Now only if they would make a propper PE sequel or a FM3 remake or heck why not throw in a Xenogears and top it off with a Brave Fencer Musashi.
@Silver_Back: Eh no hard feelings man. I must admit that sometimes contractors act like cowboys in the O-K Coralle and now we have an oversight committee looking into their actions which is outstanding. Theyve been running without much accountability which is bad, but the idea of having experienced mercs take care of some dangerous not so important to the troops job sounds good. Hey make sure you send care packages to your cousin, out there it make a world of difference to know that people care for you back home. Even if its a package full of bubblegum.
@Silver_Back: Uh I served with the 1st Marine Division from 2002-2006 you tell me who i support. @_@ . Listen just because a few men shot up civies doesn't mean the whole company is bad. If you look at all the atrocities committed in war everyone has some taint on their record shit even 1st Mar Div isnt all clean. You remember the Haditha incident? Shit happens but I still say Blackwater is good to go. They take the job of escorting muckity mucks throughout town so the troops dont have to. They provide intel for the coalition also since they can get into areas were not authorized or cleared to be in. And they also help provide security on some firmbases throughout the area of operation. There now your turn......
Blah Merc groups have been out there since civilization started. Quit bitchin about Blackwater people. You forget they are US citizens who picked a job that NONE OF YOU would even think about doing and thats protecting dignitaries out in a combat environment even though its for cash, then again who works for free??? Give them some props since 99% of them were or still are service men and women.
Glad that PS3 users can partake in the greatness that is Bioshock. I just hope they do not try and use the motion control for anything since that method was implemented with UTIII and it sucked.
Will it have an issue with the tiny text in SD. And hows the frame rate going to be?!? Screen shots are nice and all but i want to see the bastard in motion. Oh and Alan Brody youre a fucking fanboy and a half its sickening.
After playing MGS4 for oh 10 plus hours I can safely say that MGS4 can run on the 360 given it will be multi disk. The game engine is wonderful and all but the occasional dirty muddy texture come out especially on vehicles like the one Drebin drives. An IBM tricore thats in the 360 is more than capable to run the said game. This whole "it cant run on this system" is just pr talk. They said the same thing about Dead Rising comming to PS3 and the devs said its not possible and that right there i call bull. Same with the rest of the trolls here saying the 360 or ps3 cant run this game or that. They are (the systems) at this point on the same performance level if a lil bit on the 360 due to the extra chip for 4xfsaa side of perfomance.
An fps on the Japanese perspective of WWII.......sooo in the Philippine campaign you get to torture prisoners rape women and bayonet babies and participate in the Bataan Death March.........egh?!?
