I have no idea, but considering the arcade unit is somewhat of a retail albatross, does it matter?
no!  just saying that psn users are the same assholes but without a soapbox.

why can't people on this forum take other member's posts for what they are instead of misconstruing them to fit their agenda?

it's one thing to not 'get' complex stories, for example.  but it's another when you just flat out can't comprehend simple comparisons.

This generation blows. Both the 360 and PS3 have their fair share of problems (mainly being shitty hardware and macrotransactions for the 360, shitty games library for the PS3). I am not even going to start on the Wii, which is probably the worst Nintendo system I have owned.

I don't see the point of taking part in this generation's console warz.

MAF, can you make console warz stuff permabannable?
I think MS' days of outselling the PS3 are over. With the price drop, they may get a small boost for a month or two, but when you look at the factors of,

-Most people that want a 360 already have one.
-RROD is still keeping people away.
-Multiplat games becoming more and more even with the 360.
-Lowered Price point.
-Its still a blu-ray player. (the best one you can get).

You can see why its outselling the 360.

I don't moderate the Gaming Forum usually, as a rule; mail lyte-edge about it.

Just for future reference: A stupid person will not be banned for being stupid. We will not ban someone for not agreeing with you. However, we can set the course for the general course gaming discussions, but then that would make us GRRR EVIL GAF MODS WHO CONTROL EVERYTHING.

The forum's members largely dictate the world they live and play in by deciding who they talk to.

The only question I have is why. Why argue over something so meaningless? I mean, I'm not going to act like I haven't done it (been there, done that, got old, etc). But come on. Some of yall have been system warriors for two or three generations now. And why? They're just video games. Xbots and Stards and Ninthings get all offended over stuff that shouldn't matter to anybody. It's not your hive, quit defending it.

I can see that, to an extent. The give-and-take can be fun. But I can't see how the system warriors enjoy any of this as they get way too upset and post for days and days defending whatever as if life and limb depended on it.

i'm enjoying mario galaxy right now, even though mario is a fat lazy wop who always has to ride some poor helpless animal on some ridiculous track like water floating in the air and that manta ray race is a bunch of goddamned stupid waggleshit always falling off fuck you mario

i'm sorry to go offtopic from whatever it is the topic, but this gen is as shitty as it gets. the ps3 failed in pretty much any aspect imaginable, while the xbox 360 has all the microsoft problems of too much for too little and a shitty library, just not as shitty as the rest.

i still remember when graw and oblivion came out, and everyone trying to justify their purchases. omg graw is awesome, omg oblivion, omg gears. now no one even remebers those games. bioshock, gta, mass effect and whatever else i'm forgetting just keep getting overrated and later on people realize what the games where after the hype. not that this didn't happen before, it just wasn't as bad.

and then there are the diminishing expectations. when the ps3 and x360 failed to live up to the tech demos, everyone was suddenly okay with the crappier graphics. when gta4 failed to live up to the hype/name, everyone started looking forward to saints row 2. when people realized there were like 5 next jrpgs coming out, they started hyping lost odyssey and infinite undiscovery.

half the games that get praised this gen wouldn't even get any attention if they were released alongside the good stuff of last gen. i guess everyone is too busy with the trolling to notice though.

Unless you own stock in Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo and not just a couple hundred bucks worth but several thousand, there is no reason for you to give a fuck about console sales.  It must suck for all the shills to be sucking the virtual cock and not get a single cent from it while actual Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo marketing employees are too busy spending their days flirting with the AA with the new fake tits.  You guys lose.

I disagree.  A Gaffot post would be "facepalm.gif" and "Wow, just wow."  We're not quite there...yet.

Although I do despise the martyr attitude adopted by so many Sfags.  Reminds me of Game Cube fans and Dreamcast fans of old.

... because you are already known to be a liar with an agenda?

The general ethic around here, joking aside, is that any game is open game and the "you are a fanboy" fall back bullshit has remained just that.

It would be a lot easier to give you slack if your opinion wasn't a simple black and white "SONY AWESOME/MS ALL SHIT". There are hardly any posters on here who are so clearly binary with their preference, who are unable to see any fault in their chosen platform, who will lie and spin bullshit to prop up their illinformed asshat agenda.

So that is why you are standing out like a big flashing distinguished mentally-challenged fellow becon, then your 2-3 hangers on flinging in with what amounts to "you go girl! Up the Sony!" just makes it all the more laughable that you are unable to "get" what is going on.

seriously.  with the last gen there was just a flood of great games coming out during most of the generation.  no matter what you liked there was always a big variety of quality titles to pick from.  nowadays it seems like we get to choose between overpriced rehashes of last gen's big titles and overpriced shallow flash games.  Two years in and the horizon just seems to have nothing but blandness, while in the here-and-now we sit around talking about digital shits like Lair and Too Human.  I HATE THIS GEN

I will also like to add that for as much shit that I will give the Wii, unless Nintendo really fucks up the 'core' gamer and release more shit like Wii Fit, that the Wii will probably have a better line up than the Gamecube.  Super Mario Galaxy is far better than Sunshine, and most of the other Wii made games are superior as well (we have yet to see an actual Wii Zelda).

Not to mention that the current portable gen has produced far better games than GBA.  Both DS and PSP have great line ups.

Really?  I thought the GBA had lots of great 2d games.

PSP is my first handheld and its library is mostly composed of ports that played better on the PS2.  

I can't say anything about the DS though, since I only owned for a few months (gave it to my sis).

closest thing i've done to 'lying' is that halo 3 incident back on GAF, which was ancient and i even apologized, despite the fact that i never really lied about anything.  

you're not the only one on bore or GAF who has convinced themself that differing opinions must be attributed to corporate or brand name fanboyism.  i'm not saying there aren't true fanboys who will stick with a company or game through any situation, but i'm not one of them.  i've been called a gamecube fanboy, a ps2 fanboy, a PC fanboy, and more recently a sony fanboy; it just depends on the current conversation and it can all be attributed to people like you who can't properly cope with differing opinions.  it's a matter of policy and game library for me (though, you may be too arrogant to think someone could possibly prefer different games legitimately without this described agenda  ::)).  sony and microsoft do have a difference in policy, and unless microsoft and sony decide to swap policies, i will trend toward siding with sony more often because their current policies are more agreeable with me.  but when microsoft does something that i think is great, like achievements or to allow installing games to the hdd, i have no problem praising those (yes, i've been an achievement proponent from the beginning).  and when sony pulls a qore, i speak against that, too.  but you conveniently decide to disregard these instances.  it's very convenient for you to reply with the same trolls over and over.  this is a phenomenon i've seen a few times on forums and it's quite amusing.  

you want an example of someone spinning bullshit?  how bout the OP of this thread, who claims i think MS is doomed with the last NPD -- even on Bore's own NPD thread, i was predicting MS would likely take back 2008 in the fall.  but according to you, what i really meant by "MS will likely take back 2008 in the fall" is "MS is DOOMED."  

this is a very common theme on bore and gaf.  i am accused of saying things i didn't say, i call them on it, and they reply with "we all know what you really meant!"  it is pathetic and amazingly immature.   

it doesn't get much more hypocritical than this.  you lie in the form of false accusations.  you're spinning my posts to fit your agenda under the justification that my posts are...  somehow not what they are and that i have some hidden agenda that you've decided exists  ::).  that it's okay to disregard what my posts actually say because apparently you already know what they really mean because of my secret agenda.  

it doesn't get much more sad than that.  well, until you fabricate another false persona to preach against.

Not to mention that the current portable gen has produced far better games than GBA.  Both DS and PSP have great line ups.

Really?  I thought the GBA had lots of great 2d games.

PSP is my first handheld and its library is mostly composed of ports that played better on the PS2. 

I can't say anything about the DS though, since I only owned for a few months (gave it to my sis). 

GBA was still great, but more than half of the great games were ports.  Seriously.  I don't know how many people even realize how lazy some of the games on GBA were.  There wasn't a single new Mario game on it, and instead you had ports of them all.  I still really liked that a lot of games were them going back to the SNES style, like with Mario Kart and F-Zero, and there were a bunch of other great original games, but compared to the amount of quality titles of both the PSP and DS combined, I don't think it stands up.

And I still do consider the Gameboy Micro the best 'portable' gaming device there is.

closest thing i've done to 'lying' is that halo 3 incident back on GAF, which was ancient and i even apologized, despite the fact that i never really lied about anything. 


lol - so why apologise if you didn't lie going to the extent of saying you didn't even know why you did it and enforcing a self ban on yourself? You're even lying about what went down - you flat out said you played Halo 3 and it was utter garbage, it later transpired you hadn't played it -at all- but your friend told you it was shit. smfh.
i said something to the extent of "halo 3 isn't AAA."  i was then asked for my gamertag, and i had said something to the extent of "i don't need to own a gamertag to play it" -- this is not, as you stated, "flat out saying I played Halo 3."  i apologized because i indirectly implied to have played it with that statement.  i took a vacation from GAF because i was wasting too much time and getting too wrapped into forum drama.  in my apology, i think my wording included the word "lie" -- mainly to avoid further drama, and hell, it was close enough to a lie and i didn't originally intend to mislead anyone.  if i was simply asked "did you play it?", i would have not hesitated to say no.  i was merely pointing out that it was possible for someone to have played it without owning a gamertag.  by any measure, it was a mistake, and i admitted to it.

sony and microsoft do have a difference in policy, and unless microsoft and sony decide to swap policies, i will trend toward siding with sony more often because of the similarities policy.

hahaha fuckoff, you know fuck all about either policy except what you chose to believe in your own bullshit filled head.
prime example of how weak and immature you are.  this is exactly the sort of bullshit i describe in the second half of my post -- you trying to tell me what i'm supposed to know and think :lol.  this is pathetic.

Dfyb, do you even have Orange Box for your PC? 

Otherwise, all you talk of being a PC gamer is just BS.

Most -normal- people usually try something before building an opinion on something.

Oh come on now, that's just plain not true. Granted that I wouldn't call any one of us here normal, but that's some pedestal that you're putting even genuinely normal people on. To use a recent example, do you really think everyone who have declared Haze crap actually played it before forming that very certain opinion of it?

so okay, tell me exactly what MS's and Sony's "policy" is for this gen because i have no idea on either of them?
there's obviously not a way to describe a singular policy that defines their entire approach.  it's a matter of individual policies.  play online for free vs play online for a fee.  have a proprietary size limit for digital downloads or let the developer decide.  there's countless examples.  right after what you quoted, i had given examples where i supported microsoft policy and voiced against sony policy.

Well, have you ever panned them before playing them? That's what I'm referring to. On second though, that might, however, not be what DCharlie is talking about. I'm unfamiliar with the backstory here.

If I ever saw you on the street...

If I ever saw that disgusting looking mug of yours walking down the street, I'd beat the living shit out of you. I'm dead serious. You make me sick. You're the most disgusting human being I've ever come across online. Never has an Internet persona made me sick to my stomach. That's how I feel when I read one of your totally incoherent posts.

You make me cringe. You're, bar none, the worst poster this community has ever had. It's no coincidence that you're also the dumbest motherfucker this community has ever had.

Every time I see that you're actively posting, I want to close this tab and take a fucking shower. I'm DEAD serious. That's how absolutely disgusting you are.

For my own safety and well-being, I ask that you please not respond to me anymore. Your illiteracy is contagious. You're an absolute abomination in every sense of the word.
