Xbox360 lineup for 2009 seems great, maybe better than '08

Ahhh the edjumacated peoples of teh planet. lol

I'm in Canada, eh.

enygma500

Aside the cold, i guess it must be great there

That's what everyone says. But i dunno if the cold is worth it. alberta isn't that bad though, we get a lot of chinooks in my area. we did have a month or so of -40c this winter though...miserable month that was.

Well, -40c is a bit extreme, especially when i have experienced mostly -10c, but from an artistic poinbt of view Canada is a marvel for me

Of course living there is different than watching pics on the net

Its beautiful country. especially in the winter when everything is white. Plus white means snowboarding.

Just the cold sucks.

I used to live in northern canada and get even colder then -40. And they would MAKE us go outside during breaks at school. unlike BC where -5 means they get the day off school.

It's really depends where in canada you are. Great for a visit, banff or waterton are big tourist areas. Lots of nice mountains and such around those places. but watertons only an hour away from me. kinda ruins the appeal i guess. For me greece would be an awesome place to visit. haha, the grass is always greener

Indeed :), well i can't say i don't love it here, it has some places that you can do things i could never do in Canada for example and i am sure same goes for other over there, like the nice snow :)

For exmaple i can go river swimming in summer, i don't know if i could do that in Canada, what is the tempreture in summer ?

+35ish on a hot day. 27 ish average. right now it's getting around 20. ice just finished melting off the still lakes. rivers were moving a while ago. that's around here though. me and my folks go kayaking and canoeing and stuff in the summer.

Hm, it is high enough i guess, of course 39-40 is better :)

Love the water myself, especially rivers,i use canoe but in sea, it is still extreme excersise, if you speed on it

Would like to try a river some day, but i sadly don't have the time to get in all those activities

I used to work a 4 day on 4 day off schedule, so that gave me lots of time for travel and fun. but now im back onto weekends off.

as much as i liked 4 days off. it also gave me too much opportunity to spend all my money. boredom sets in real easy when you have 4 days with nothng planned. Now i have so many summer toys i dunno which 1 to use when the time comes up.

I can't say the battle pics excite me much either tbh, there was an older one though with a huge monster, so i guess they won't show us the best right away

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"][QUOTE="obamanian"]

But noone cares for the games label, call them what ever you feel like, they are still only on PC/360 and not PS3

No, i don't remember, i only called them exclusive to PC/360, which still stands

[QUOTE="enygma500"]

Once again, there is nothing grammatically incorrect about saying that games are exclusive to the PC and 360... The fact remains, the PS3 isn't getting these games. It's easy to cross develop for the 360 and PC, so why wouldn't developers want to do it?-GeordiLaForge-

THEY ARE COMPETEING PLATFORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's why they're not exclusive. As I said before. By YOUR logic I could say a game is exclusive because it's only on PS3/360 and not on the Wii or PC. Your arguement is just full of fail. So just stop.

But FF13 IS a PS3/360 exclusive

I think you have misunderstood the use of "exclusive" word, it is always exclusive to something, that something can be anything

If it's on more than one platform, then it is not an exclusive.

Simple as that. I can't believe you guys are actually having this discussion.

doesn't seem great at all. Can't believe you put N3 on that list, thats a serious downgrade man. 1/5 Great games, 2/5 Average, 1/5 below average,1/5 2010 or status unknown. Seems pretty mediocre to me. If your going to boast about 360s 09, then put solid titles down and leave out the rest.Adrian_Cloud

That is just your opinion, on games you have never played btw, so don't worry, it may not be as bad as you suggest for all of us

For me that lineup has 28+ huge games i will buy day one, and it is lineups like PS3 one with only one RPG i care about (Demon Soul) that will keep my busy for a week in 2009, the rest will be 360 gaming only

As it is, i'm looking at Ninety Nine Nights2 and Halo 3 ODST as must buys. Other then that, nothing at this point. Granted i'll buy some multiplats there. Namely Red Faction Guerilla if it's worth buying. They need a new Perfect Dark, Kameo, or Conker announced at E3 or something because the 360 lineup of exclusives pales in comparison to PS3's for the year IMO.

So, i did not know you are the official highest authority here, and can give punishment to those that do not agree with those "unritten" rules

I will ask a mod about that and get back to you, unless you give me a link to that official gamespot rule you are talking about

I hope there is a ban award for threats like yours

I use the word exclusive as it is supposed to be used from those that know to use the english language

Now if you have a problem with that, better find the dictionary that proves me wrong, because i can always say that Mass Effect is exclusive to PC and 360 systems and that is 100% correct by the actual definition of the exclusive word

Also i got a link to a random thread in gamespot, there is nothing "official" about it, sorry, unless you can prove it

To me looks more like a "we fanboys gather, and make some rules the slaves should obey in this damn forum" thread

BTW i can use ANY criteria i like, for anything, there is no rule here about what reviewes i will use for example to evaluate a game's worth or what exclusive should mean, are you even serious about that ?

Unless AGAIN you can find me a link to the OFFICIAL rules herethat state otherwise and honestly i very much doubt gamespot posted rules like "forget the english language", or "forget the 99% of the uses of the word exlusive" or "you will only read and talk about OUR reviewes in our forums"

As for your "suggestion" to go to another forum, well, you are probably the very last person on earth to tell me what to do about anything, so if you do not like reading my posts, why not just ignore them, than personally attacking me ?

Or if you do not like free forums, that everyone can post as they see fit, why not follow your very own advice ?

yet almost every poster here except a handful disagree with your definition of exclusive within the parameters of system wars. that's fine if you want to use purely your opinion, but it is just that, your opinion. and an opinion that is not followed by the majority of system wars users.clone01

I think you still have not got what i am saying, if there is no official rule, no number of fanboy posters can possibly tell me what i will post or how i will use terms here or what reviews i will go with

Hope that is perfectly clear, after all, using the english language in a wrong way or using a single review to judge a game, is just an opinion too, i will not accept anything like that myself, considering i find illogical why i should judge a game by just one review ???

So, in short, games like Mass Effect are exclusive to Xbox360/PC platforms

BTW, isn't that af free forum ? You mean that if most people here want someone banned, he must get banned, because they say so or something ? Each of us has his opinions, and we are all equally free to express them here, that is the point

If you mean that a group of people is actually runnign the forum, and mods - gamespot have no say in this, then you have a serious problem there

I never saw a rule in gamespot saying that everyone has to accept or follow what the "majority" say or at least the majority you have in your mind

So, until you bring me a linkthat this "majority" of fanboy gamers here is above all other gamers, gamespot and mods, i will simply use any world i like, the way i like it and any number of reviews i like, like you have the right to do so too

A game cannot be Exclusive to 2 platforms. The word simply cannot be used in this way.

Your understanding for the word 'Exclusive' is flawed.

In order to back up your weak arguments you can try to change the meaning of any word you like. However people with a proper grasp of the English language will know that your just making stuff up.

Ehm, nope, i have given the full dictionary offical definition of the word, and CAN be applied to a group of targets, like say excluisve to a certain group of systems etc etc

It is a rather simple concept as well, there is nothing to discuss really, aside the desire of fanboys to change the word use, so 360 lineup somehow looks worst

Well, the 2009 lineup hasn't been too phenomenal so far. We got RE5..but I played the demo & my impression of it didn't make me want to play it. I bought 3-4 JRPG 360 exclusives last year but haven't played them yet, so Star Ocean will look better after the price drop.

I have liked the Fallout 3 expansions & the GTA IV expansion. Also what seems to be missed is Watchmen: The End is Nigh & I like that game as well, although not an exclusive.

You made an exhaustive list of potential games for the 360. Excellent work. Please keep it up.

Indeed, it is funny that when ever anyone calls games exclusive to PC/360 or console exclusive or PC/360 games anyway, some fanboy will always come to say "but ... but ... they are NOT exclusive to 360"

I bet the problem is not me calling those games exclusives, but the fact that PS3 fanboys want me to call all those games ... multipltform, so a PS3 can always be implied behind the title, makes them feel so much better

Kitase: FFXIII will be the greatest FF ever

Speaking to VideoGamer.com in an interview to be published tomorrow, Kitase, who was in London to promote Dissidia: Final Fantasy, a PSP-exclusive fighting game set to mark the 20 year anniversary of the Final Fantasy franchise, said of Final Fantasy XIII: "I'm convinced it will be the best Final Fantasy game."

So, he thinks will be way better than FF13vs i guess.

After all it is the main FF title, i expected no less
