[QUOTE="Ilived"]What irony? You expect the game to be out now? What are you?Pariah_001

I'm complicated.

What I would expect is for Microsoft to be prepared for 08 and not have their Killer app come out so late in an eventless 360 year. Espeically after its fanbase as made a point of plastering the Sony crowd for waiting for Sony's exclusives.

XBOX 360 already has its killer apps. Gears of War 2 is a sequal to a killer app. Ninja Gaiden 2 can be considered a Killer App. Eventless? It's more eventful than the PS3's '07 year:

- Ninja Gaiden 2

- Fable 2

- Halo Wars

- Banjo Threeie

- Allen Wake

- Left 4 Dead

- Cry On

- Lost Oddyssy

- Infinite Undiscovery [I still don't understand the title -- it's like this just kept adding crap to it]

- Too Human

Those are exclusives from the top of my head. I didn't even need to mention multiplats. But thanks for commenting on the quality of software available to a console you hate.

You realize if it was the other way around Gears of War 2 would be released on the PS3 in late 09 or something with constant delays. It was expected to wait two years for a sequel, they don't just pop games out of nowhere you know. I don't think you are smart enough to understand the concept of work.

Just wait November. Almost a year away.

Ah, the irony.

Pariah_001

That made no sense, and the 360 has to wait for nothing. Just a "possible" unconfirmed release date for a sequel that demolished the 06 holiday season.

He's trying to reconcile an almost eventless year for the 360 by saying to just wait for November--Which pretty much negates all the 360 criticism towards PS3 owners.

You fanboys are priceless,

Ninja Gaiden 2, Lost Odyssey, Banjo-Kazooie, Fable 2, Halo Wars, Too Human, and now Gears of War 2 before the year is out?

The lemmings have just as much to be stoked about as the cows do, the difference is 360 delivered on their hype in 2007 while PS3 did not,

dude, there are plenty of games coming out in 08, DMC4, Soul Calibur 4, Fable 2, MC4, GTA4, Turning point etc.

You do know you can actually PLAY the multiplat games right? Sometimes it just seems that people only talk about the very FEW exclusives each system manages to keep. Is your enjoyment of a game really dependant on exclusivity or not?

My thoughts exaclty.

People this gen focus so much on ''exclusivity'' that they forget that there are many great(If not better) multiplats outthere.

Plus, they have to fix the problems the first one had, add weapons, characters, online modes etc.

And that takes time....Alot of time.

Wait a whole year for a 360 exclusive I'd actually play.

- Even then I'd only play it if they fixed the glaring problems in the original GeoW.

Now that UT3 flopped on the PC with less then half predicted in actual sales and UT3 flopped on Ps3 last week with less then 70,000 units, MArk Rein can officially STHU.EPIC would be wise to hurry up with that X360 version to try to get a few sales to make back that dev cost, then they need to get Gears of War 2 out the door. Let this be a lesson for you Mr. Rein don't bite the hand that feeds you and don't blow off Microsoft gamers like you don't need them.

oh and I don't want to hear it was supply constrained......bs, I preordered it at Gamespot the day before release and got a copy the next day it came in. Shopping at Wal-Mart last weekend they had about 15 copies in the case.

Pariah_001

ugh, its completely different for the lemmings

lemmigns don't have to wait for anything. they have plenty of AAA exclusives to play.

cows on the other hand have a grand total of ZERO AAA exclusives, and are in dead last in the console market by a wide margin.

hence the "just wait" slogan cows have created for themselves. it doesn't apply to lemmings at all.
