"Raise your hand if you think Lionhead should have designed the 360 Avatars instead of Rare.
*Raises Hand*
Remember that the Avatar has to be somewhat cartoonish for the casuals, but should also not alienate the core gamers by being too cute...
*Raises Hand Higher*"
"I like Prey's death system...
Gives you a little mini-game that will bring you back to life (right where you died) and also helps break up the monotony of whatever you're doing...
Games that take you back to "checkpoints" only to have to battle/run/climb/whatever before you get to the challenging part are annoying..."
"MS invested something like 10 Million into immersion as WELL as payed their settlement.
Immersion should have kept fighting with Sony, considering Sony made the most money money out of the 3 manufacturers being sued (at least it was that way when the complaints were filed)
If I remember correctly, the contract had set dollar amounts for what MS would get should Sony settle."
"Except that there haven't been many decent 360 games released lately, the problem was the rumored price cut across all models...
Last month, right after the 20GB clearance price cut, it leaked that all 360 models will be seeing a price cut in September...
So, say you were average Joe, and somehow learned of the impending price cut."
"we have trash-shoppers around here...
If you set something out that MIGHT be of some value a day early for trash pick-up, it will be gone before the sun goes down..."
"After skimming a few comments, I see there are people that still don't understand the difference between MS's numbers and Nintendo's numbers
Nintendo used numbers for the 3rd party games sales on the Xbox from the first 19 months of the 360's life...
MS used numbers for the 3rd party games sane for the LAST 19 months of it's life (since the release of the Wii)
I don't think either way is a fair representation, since there were many factors contributing to the sales that neither company seems to account for, but the fact is that RIGHT NOW, the 360 sell a ton more 3rd party titles than either of it's competitors.
An interesting way to look at it:
Wii has sold more than twice as many console as Xbox 360 (since wii's launch)."
