I wouldn't really call that a missing feature exactly. Its more of an extra if you ask me. Anyway, SE generally does a pretty good job with their English VO's so its not really anything to be worried about unless you're one of those people who simply cannot stand English VO's whether good or bad.

Well if starting on the Xbox 360 version earlier than originally expected results in us gamers outside of Japan getting the game sooner then I'm perfectly okay with Square Enix workingon both versions simultaneously.

FFXIII wins in my opinion but LO still looks great which is really impressive considering its age.

I don't see how which console its being played on should matter.

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"][QUOTE="Keep-the-Faith"]

So?

you change a disk.

id take that over a mandatory install anyday.

-Oath

But you have to go back to this area so you change to the previous disk. OOPS now you made a mistake and don't really need to go there but where you were so you change the disk back. See that can get annoying.

Not if you have a HDD which majority of 360 owners have. Before you even start the game start the disk installation, grab a soda, sit back for maybe 12 minutes and your set to play.

Even with installation you still have to put the discs in. Otherwise people could just rent games from Blockbuster intall the game then take it back and you got yourself a $5 some dollar game.

[QUOTE="CAlNlAC"]Cuddlesofwar actually brings up a pretty good point. One of the benefits of p2p based online play which can really help older games is that so long as people are still playing it you can join their room. In like a game like say PDZ for example, a launch title on the 360. You can still find and join a game online pretty easy because its p2p and still a small number of players play it online. Now if on the other hand PDZ was using dedicated servers MS would have likely shut them down cause theres just not enough people playing to justify the expense of running the servers. So basically you're out of luck if that happens. Still though I would like to see more games using dedicated servers on XBL.dthach614

do me a favor... halo 2 was a very popular p2p online game for it time... go try to find a match and tell me how long it took.

go test out all the old p2p games

Umm it doesn't take long at all.

Yeah its true that more games on XBL should use dedicated servers but as far as I know MS leaves that decision up to the individual developers. So being that choosing to run dedicated servers would cost that developer money I'm guessing a lot opt out. As for why MS doesn't use them for their own games like Halo I dunno.

[QUOTE="speedsix"]

PS3 owners lose out big time in terms of console online;

Xbox Live = Best online implementation

Halo 3 = Best adverserial multiplayer

L4D = Best co-operative multiplayer

Not to mention exclusive DLC.

dthach614

Xbox live doesn't have dedicated servers.

Why don't lemmming never talk about the multiplayer aspect of XBL?

they always talk about the shopping entice dashboard, the messaging invite, the communication. but never the lack of dedicated servers. lets talk about the bullspit of p2p connections.

Umm thats not entirely true. Some games on XBL do in fact use dedicated servers like L4D for example and a few others. Its up to the developers to decide if they want to use dedicated severs or not. Also you make it sound like every online game over PSN uses dedicated servers which is also not true. It is true however that PS3 has more games than XBL using them though.
