Every year on the 360 has been great for me. Not sure what everyone around here is complaining about.
i dont think it was a "bad" year for the 360
abysmal, embarrassing, laughable. I think those are more accurate adjectives
No it doesn't.Halo Anniversary has a shot at AAE as well, but yeah very disappointing. Luckily I'm PS360

No it doesn't. In the metagame by which we cling to - yes it does. Game has been essentially re-done, and looks like a current gen title, with the addition of MP. Whereas other HD collections merely apply a lick of paint. Although yes, they could count too due to the lists solely comparing PS3/Wii/360/PC and other current gen libraries. And yeah not a terrible year at all - Didn't XBLA produce a 9.5 also?[QUOTE="hockeyruler12"]

No, it's not considered an exclusive here. Unless you're just talking about 360's overall game count. Are we still counting the exclusives of PS2/Xbox etc.? As far as I'm aware we begin each generation anew - thus why PC games only count from the start of this generation.Chutebox

Okay then, they can count. I have no agenda particularly (heck, I'm playing Ico Collection as we speak) - although my point was that CE is running on an entirely new engine.Exactly, and if you don't like Kinect, than it is only 1 AAAE and 1 AAE, which is pretty weak

Actually if you don't like Kinect or racing or sport games(which I despise) it is only 1AAAE. GEOW3 is a good game but definitely not enough for a whole year for exclusive games.

I heard it doesn't have online MP, don't know if its true or not, but that would be a pretty piss poor deal.

It does have Online Co-op and MP (but it's more or less Reach's MP)

This.
I really don't care about scores or exclusives, I just care about 1 thing: having fun with videogames.

I think ninja gaiden sigma is like this too, but it's not considered an exclusive.[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]No it doesn't. yeah it does.Cool. I guess someone made a thread detailing why it should count as exclusive, like was done for Graw and MLB10/11 that was compelling enough to change its status. I must've missed it. Can someone link it for me?[QUOTE="hockeyruler12"]

I have no agenda particularly (heck, I'm playing Ico Collection as we speak) - although my point was that CE is running on an entirely new engine.Apparently, it's only running the graphics portion of the nwe engine, while everything else is the old engine. That's pretty much a paint job.
I'm sure it will be fun, but I can't see any reason to buy it if you have the original, especially if you have the oriiginal on PC.

It's not an exclusive. PS3 collections are not exclusives either. It's really amazing how hard this is for some people to accept. "XBLA/PSN games that are only available on one system? Screw em, different standards. Upscaled ports of games that came out last gen? Yeah no prob." :|
gears and halo is all i need. other than uncharted and maybe LBP2 nothing from the ps3 side interests me. plus with all the great multiplats coming out who cares about exclusives???
mems_1224
same here. nothing on the ps3 side interests me either except uncharted and gran turismo (which i have, and it sucked by the way). you take away Uncharted from their lineup and it looks rather weak IMO.
This has been the best year ever for 360 imo, tied with 2007:
Got a couple of top exclusives in Gears and Forza.
Got PS3/360 only games like Dark Souls, Mortal Kombat, Marvel Vs Capcom 3, Catherine and Shadows of the Damned.
Got PS3/360/PC games like Dragon Age 2, Crysis 1 and 2, Rage, Assassin's Creed Revelations, Deus Ex, Arkham City, Skyrim and LA Noire.
Got PC/360 only games like Tropico 4 and the Witcher 2.
Got XBLA games like Outland, Ms Splosion Man, Bastion, Dishwasher, Toy Soldiers, etc.
Hell, it even got the first Kinect games that look remotely interesting to me, Child Of Eden and Gunstringer!And it's getting platformer games in Rayman and Sonic... Platformers on teh 360!!! That aren't arcade games!!! JESUS!!!
In the metagame of "Only exclusives count! But also, no Kinect!" 360 had a poor year.
But in the reality of "not every multiplat comes out everywhere, aka 360 is the only platform that will get both Dark Souls and The Witcher 2" then it's an amazing year. I actually can't handle being parted from my 360 right now. (Hence why I'm on here raving instead of playing all these games, as some smart alec might point out :P)
Thats the big question though right, and it boggles my mind to be honest. Exclusives are why you buy one console over the other. So if Gears and Halo are basically all you want to play, then a 360 is for you. If, like me, you dont care about them, then a 360 is redundant. Why buy a 360 just to play the same games you can play on other platforms that actually do have exclusives your interested in? Guys at work are always telling me to buy a 360. Well what are they playing? Black Ops, Battlefield, and other multiplats I already own and play for PS3. lol And then they look at me funny when I tell them I already own those for PS3 and also play games like Uncharted, Infamous and Motorstorm. Its like how dare I play COD on another platform :lol: I honestly have no idea how 360 cleans up in America the way it does. Its completely carrying 360 right now. The rest of the world has seen the Kinect direction and doesnt like it. My theory is the lemmings move East to West in the US, but get distracted by the beach and babes...only to get beat up by the Juice Monsters on Muscle beach, tossed on a Greyhound heading East, and start it all over again. This time they come back with friends because of how much fun they say they had but cant remember like a bad hangover :lol:gears and halo is all i need. other than uncharted and maybe LBP2 nothing from the ps3 side interests me. plus with all the great multiplats coming out who cares about exclusives???
