[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"][QUOTE="NubTub_of_Win"]Kind of like killswitch had cover but gears gets most of the credit because it made it popular right? Ohhh burn. That's my point. MS made it widespread, they proved how easy it was to take our money. NubTub_of_Winkind of like killswitch has lame cover, was ineffective and it was just as easy to just run around never in cover or just hide behind a few objects to reload...where as cover is essential in gears of war, and its near impossible even on easy difficulty to get through the entire game without using cover alot. Lol you just sort of owned yourself because that's exactly my point. MS did it better too... lol. I owned my self. So your original statement is that Microsoft ripped off Killswitch with gears of war as though its some sort of bad thing... My statement was that Killswitch was a lame game, its cover system was useless and uneeded at even harder difficulties you could go around running and gunning, with the majority of time when you did cover being just to reload and thats it.... gears of war actually had a working, worthwhile needed cover system, you had to use it even on easy difficulty to beat the game.
By Next Gen Even 360 Fans will Have Seen MS for What They Really Are.

Ok..
First, I dislike paying for XBL. There's no getting around that. Having said that I can't gripe at $50 a year as oppose to say $10 a month which is what they could be charging. Plus they offer a few services I enjoy like Netflicks and Zune Marketplace.. (no it's not the best way to view movies but it's convenient). I experience very little lag with games and everything is connected to one another. Having said that I believe this will be the last year I support Live.
Second, I have more software for my 360 than last gen, and I owned ALL THREE SYSTEMS! M$ wisely courted 3rd party devs and built relationships that netted them great software. All the fanboys caught up with this "exclusive" talk are missing out on a lot of great software. Sure it'd be nice if M$ concentrated on 1st party games but I believe a lot of you are forgetting the dismal software 1st party lineup of the XB.
Do you really want another sequel to this guy??? :?
M$ is a BUSINESS like all the other companies and they're in this BUSINESS to make money.. Not give fanboys everything under the flipping sun something for nothing.

OhSnapitz
:| that was actually a pretty awsome and inventive game, did you even play it? By the way there was a sequal and that game was kinda bad, but the original was pretty amazing for a last gen game and original to boot.
[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="NubTub_of_Win"]You guys need better ammo. The 600$ launch price was selling for a 200$ loss at least. NubTub_of_WinSelling at a loss or not, it was by a considerable margin the most expensive console on the market, with no other exclusive to compete with the 360 than RFoM. And only because Sony wanted to win a format war. So? That's completly irrelevant to the post you originally quoted about the primary goal being profits, and that reflecting on the quality and cost etc. Those are terrible arguements... Like I said there needs to be a balance, it being expensive doesn't translate into being greedy.
I guess that means sony is the greediest company

oh look... I guess that means Microsoft is the less greedy of the 3
Them being failures doesn't excuse them from being greedy.So you finally agree that the PS3 is a faliure and that sony is greedy? good for you

Them being failures doesn't excuse them from being greedy. They're not really 'failures' - they're the biggest tech company in the world. You still haven't given me compelling evidence as to why they're greedy. And if it's such an issue, why did you buy a 360 and pay for Gold? You're only encouraging this 'greediness' that you speak of. So technically, you're they're excuse for being 'greedy'. (although they aren't really any more so than any other big business).
