Well, that would be a lot to be upset about. And one of the reasons I think the Japanese as a whole are scared of American products (well besides the iPod).

I'm not taking his side or anything, but I see where he's coming from (as insensitive and stupid as that was)

Well apparently, the way some Americans as himself make those comments against the Japanese, it seems someone is still pissed about a certain other event in history.....

The comment wasn't needed. I might just hit up a mod that I've been making friends with and see what he can do.

...for telling someone "Screw You" on the 360 boards. Here was his post:
[QUOTE="malibulouis"]

Listen. I have owned this thing since release, and am the proud owner of a shiny Toshiba plasma. And you know what? I have given the 360 ample opportunity to impress me....and frankly it just hasn't.

Now I know I'm begging for fanbois to come crawling out of the wood work with sticky paged Xbox magazines in hand, but I dont care. I was so ready for this to be the revolutionary industry changing system everyone hoped. But other than oblivion and COD2, this thing has failed time and again to impress me. So, as of today, it becomes store credit towards my PS3.

Yes. The graphics are nice. But are they unfreakingbelievable? Not really. Not on most titles any how. Not so much nicer than Xbox and PS2 that should warrant spending 400 dollars on a new system.

Now. Don't give me this tap dance about "It's a launch!" and "Give it time!". I did, Msoft failed, and I am a much bigger Msoft supporter than sony. I am so sick of the excuse that 1st year games are always crap. Hey, guess what....WORK HARDER! Every "anticipated game" turns out to be a waste of time and money. God bless renting.

Sorry Bill....but you will get no more out of me.....THAT'LL SHOW YOU!

Hey, Do you know anything. THe developers, THE DEVELOPERS. There the ones taking there sweet time. Japanese developers are taking there sweet time. Maybe there still upset that two nukes were droped.



It was in reply to the last sentence.

[QUOTE="Derangal"][QUOTE="-Zaku-"][QUOTE="Derangal"][QUOTE="-Zaku-"][QUOTE="Derangal"][QUOTE="-Zaku-"][QUOTE="Derangal"][QUOTE="PeeEsPee"]I just watched half the review and turned it off, I can see why developers hate reviewers. The story being uninsteresting.. and having to fight to stay awake during cutscenes? WTF. Also that the dungeons are boring to go through.. seriously.. if you want DMC or Ninja Gaiden, go play those, don't review an RPG thats MEANT to be the way that it is. A real Reviewer who enjoys RPGs, wold have given it an easy 8.5, and a 9 to the original (just because it is just a port, even though the 3D cutscenes are really sick). Gamespot fails me..

Edit: Also, he talked about how most of the game concepts you won't understand for over half the game.. within an hour at most it should all become very obvious. Now we know he sucks at RPGs like GregK sucks at action games.

Its just like the artical I put up a short while ago. GS keeps giving games to people who aren't fans of that genre. Greg doesn't like JRPGs, Jeff only likes blood and boobs games. Stop giving them games that they don't like. GS' reviews have gone down the crapper since the redesign.

It's apparent with Greg. I'm sure he's still spoiled with Oblivion (which after the first few hours of awing me, it started to wear off and I lost interest in the game; IMO, not deserving of the 9.6. An 8-8.7 is my range; looking to sell it now.) They really need to fix the reviews though. What is the point of giving the duty of reviewing a game to someone who doesn't enjoy the genre?

How much are ya selling it for?

Whatever I can get for it. I'm having my bro take some 360 games into EB and whatever I get is going towards VP and preordering FFXII CE. From there, I'm saving for PS3 and will probably only pick up 1 or 2 more 360 titles (360 games have mostly been "miss" for me so far.) and the rest will be PS2 titles (sig) and 2-3 PS3 launch/around launch games. That's the rest of my year pretty much. Christmas is the recovery period (or if I don't have the money/can't find a PS3 on launch, then X-Mas money will be a big help) I need to see about setting up a eBay account.....

Well I wouldn't mind buying it from ya as I havn't seen the 360 version in town anywhere and next week I'm prolly gonna put a 360 on layaway.

I'd be happy to. How much? Cause I'll have to get it back before my bro takes it in. I told him to trade in Oblivion, GRAW, FNR3, and X-Men (Obl. and GRAW are going for $32ea + $10 bonus for 2 360 games = $74 and whatever the other 2 + $10.) and to preorder FFXII CE and pick up VP with what he gets.

Hmm, thats actually not a bad price at all, considering Gamestops usual. What are you willing to sell it for? My computer can't run the PC version anymore so my brother bought it from me.

~ same would be nice. (Don't ask....)

[QUOTE="GAT-XZero"]Xbox fanboys are out there.....I've been on the 360 boards in a similar thread where they are calling BS just because GoW3 (which has been hinted at by the dev recently to be a trilogy) and KZ3 (see earlier) are on the list.Derangal

Well, when you go to the Xbox 360 boards...

You gotta expect this kind of thing.



Some of the responses are just....yeah:

(Look at the 2 that got suspended :lol: What's funny is a mod was in there and didn't lock it.)

I had a good laugh at the person who said NG started on the Xbox. Some people just don't know their video game history.

Yep, I laughed to. I also laugh at the people who say MGS started on NES :lol:

Next thing you know people will be saying DOA started on the Xbox or Shinobi started on the playstation. Or wait, maybe in a number of years tthey'll say Sonic started on the PS3, X360, and NWii.

Actually, some fans think DOA is a Xbox franchise when it's been on Saturn, PS1, DC and PS2.

I agree with a lot in that article. Developers positively hate it when their game isn't reviewed, but the game genre is. & Developers hate game reviewers because they don't understand games that are targeted for a specific audience "Game reviewers want every game to be Zelda." That's what one developer told me. He said that the reality of game development is that most developers make games for a very specific target audience and the developers do their best to find and meet the needs of those specific gamers. It's a frustration then, when game reviewers complain that the game is too "kiddie" or too "redneck" or too targeted to one group. That, after all, was the entire purpose of the game. Developers of kid-friendly games pull out their hair over these kinds of reviews. Making games that are easy enough for kids to play without frustration is incredibly difficult. When a 30-year-old reviewer, honed with one-quarter Contra-level skills, calls the game too-easy and too-short, game developers go crazy. In defense of the game reviewers, developers must understand that reviewers are writing for a target audience as well. They have to target their content accordingly and that occasionally means making fun of kids' games. Their core readers don't care anyway. Still, good reviewers will always keep a game's target audience in mind when writing the review. This target audience will be one ultimately playing the game, and if a review shortchanges its interests unfairly, this audience will lose a degree respect for that publication.

Just to name a few....
