MLB 09: The Show 9.0 AAA - Gamespot Review Discussion

I think this would an appropriate time to post this.

Not exclusive ay? Oh well this thread was fun while it lasted.

[QUOTE="Lionheart08"]

Seriously it's not an exclusive time to move on and get over it. Hype Infamous are the next big exclusive gamel. Or better yet, actually buy MLB The Show since you guys cared so much about it. :P

I have a friend that doesn't follow baseball at all yet bought The Show and loves it. He's super addicted to Road to the Show...you should either buy it now or wait til you can get a deal for it, either way I think its a must buy.

Cows still win because you have to have a "Sony System" to play MLB the show 09.

:shock:

So, what have you guys been talking about for the last 1,000 posts?

Why are you PS3 fanboys bragging about a baseball game?? Baseball is boring to watch, i bet its also boring to play...

So out of this debate and discussion: MLB wasn't granted exclusivity on PS3, and Dead Rising was demoted as an exclusive for the 360.Episode_Eve

Not sure why some people still claimed its exclusivity though.carlisledavid79

I have to decide between these: MLB 09, RE5, or Valkyria Chronicles! That's a tough one :(.Episode_Eve

Dude, Valkyria Chronicles support the sells of a niche game. :P

The whole Dead Rising thing was more of a bargain chip so that cows wouldn't revolt. I still think that a specific thread should be made about it. LOL the only evidence I saw was a Wikipedia page of CTYD stating that it is the same game, and a list of changes.

What just happened in the last 46 pages? :P Wow, goose score :)JIT93

The same pattern continued and the poll waas eventually taken down sine cows would just vote yes regardless. :P

I think it can boil down to Dead Rising. As long as DR is an exclusive MLB 09 should be right? I just watched some Dead Rising Wii video reviews and nothing changes the core gameplay, yet it's still exclusive to Wii and 360 separately.

Edit: I just checked the spreadsheet and DR is no longer exclusive.

So no more camera element to the gameplay, a different title, different save system, and many other tweaks don't constitute it being a different game? While the Dead Rising franchise is no longer an exclusive one, the original title still remains exclusive.

EDIT: I disagree with the conclusion made. I believe Dead Rising is still an exclusive title while MLB 09 is multiplatform. The differences between the two are too vast to consider them linked in the "if game X is multiplat, then so is game Y".

In the end, the decision doesn't bother me. To me, people on both sides fought long and hard for something that will not effect the world outside this board.

Time to make a DR thread, fox. Hell, once I get Dead Rising:CTYD in the mail from Gamefly, and play it through and though, I'd gladly add to your previous points.Stevo_the_gamer

[QUOTE="Episode_Eve"][QUOTE="bdum_pshhh"] Not really, this is System wars, not company wars. Even if they're made by one company, it's each system for itself in SW.Soulja_West

Good. That is the most important thing in this kind of debates, feedback from people who actually played the games in dispute.

[QUOTE="Soulja_West"][QUOTE="Episode_Eve"] Both of you are right in a way. It's "system" wars, but fanboys usually categorize companies as targets of dislike.Episode_Eve

Like someone suggested I looked on Metacritic and I found that IGN reviewed the 3 versions.

It's the same review!!!!!!!!!!

They just added some comentary on some parts to state the technical inferiority of the PS2 version, it's full arsenal of bugs and glitches, and it's obvious inferior PS2 ****online.

It's the same game.

Edit: LOL the debate is already over, its not exclusive.
