Biggest Disappointment So Far?

[Manny Calavera]

Vote and post and stuff.
For me, the biggest disappointment so far has been Shadowrun. Now, the game they showed at E3 is supposed to be incredibly fun, and it's getting major improvements in a lot of areas....but it's still a crappy CS knockoff instead of an RPG, or even just an action adventure with RPG elements, ANYTHING but a counter strike knock off. I mean, why take a name that is associated with RPGs, a genre your console is lacking in, and turn it into a first person shooter, a genre your console has too many of? Monkeys are running FASA

The fake backwards compatibility. For the most part everybody else has backwards compatibility, so you'd think it'd make sense for MS to follow suit.

 

[Speedball]

Other-
The availablity of the console sucked when it came out, and that's why I don't have one.
I had money to buy one then, now I don't.

 

[TrailerCues]

I definitely hate how they did the Backwards Compatibility for this System

 

[Topdawg]

Yep, the backwards compatibility.

 

[BatFitz]

ditto

Definitely the backwards compatibility :

Not only many of the better Xbox games don't even work, but Microsoft failed to provide an out-of-the-box solution for transferring your original save games as well. I want my dose of high-definition Soul Calibur 2 dammit!

Microsoft even being in the gaming industry.

The extreme shortage before launch that prevented me from getting one before I decided not to because the Playstation 3 cost too damn much

 

[Manny Calavera]

The PS3's massive cost should be your motivation to buy a 360, not your motivation to drop it. You make no sense

You people don't understand :

I NEED MY METAL GEAR FIX!!!!

NEED IT DAMMIT!!!!

NEED IT!!!

The games really aren't that good, and it's going to be ported anyways, and it won't come out until Christmas 07 when there is a cheaper PS3 out and much better 360 games out. Wise up and pick up a Wii60 combo this christmas, for your own good

Okay, for the last f**king time, I will tell you Xbox fanboys this:

METAL GEAR SOLID 4: GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS IS NOT GOING TO GET A PLAYSTATION 3 PORT. IT IS A PLAYSTATION 3 EXCLUSIVE. THE SERIES IS A PLAYSTATION EXCLUSIVE. EVERY IN CANNON METAL GEAR TITLE IS ON A PLAYSTATION SYSTEM. NO XBOX 360 VERSION WILL BE MADE. KOJIMA HAS SAID THIS FROM HIS OWN MOUTH. HE SAYS THAT HE HATES WORKING ON PORTS. HE SAYS THAT WHEN HE WILL MAKE A GAME FOR THE XBOX 360 IT WILL BE EXCLUSIVE TO THE XBOX 360.

METAL GEAR SOLID 2: SUBSTANCE WAS A COMPLETE FAILURE ON THE XBOX. KONAMI WON'T WASTE THE TIME MAKING AN XBOX METAL GEAR WHEN METAL GEAR SOLID 2: SUBSTANCE WAS AN EMBARRISING FLOP. THE ENTIRE METAL GEAR FANBASE IS ON THE PLAYSTATION.

Anyways on another point. I am not getting the Playstation 3 at launch. It costs way too damn much and the game library just won't be good enough at the time. I'll be getting it when Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out and like you said the price will probally have gone down for the Playstation 3.

I will be getting a Wii though which has Solid Snake on Super Smash Bros. Brawl which is completely badass. And has the Legend of Zelda series. Another game series that I need my fixes.

 

[Manny Calavera]

Yeah, MGS4 is getting ported.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Yeah, MGS4 is getting ported.

Why the hell do all the Xbox fanboys think that games such as Devil May Cry, Metal Gear, and Final Fantasy are going to end up on the Xbox. It's not going to happen. It would be like expecting Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, and Knights of the Old Republic ending up on the Playstation.

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

 

[Manny Calavera]

It'll be ported.

 

[hippie_hunter]

It'll be ported.

But it's been a confirmed exclusive

"Metal Gear Solid 4 is only scheduled for release on the PlayStation 3 at the current time," he told the Japanese game magazine. "Of course we could port it to other consoles, but doing so would require additional staff and research and development costs. If I were to make games for the Xbox 360 or the [Nintendo] Revolution, I'd rather create original titles that match each console's audience, instead of the Metal Gear Solid series."

You shouldnt keep replying to him, he wont stop saying it.lol

 

[Extromaniac]

MGS4 is going to be ported.

 

[Manny Calavera]

Yeah, it's going to be ported. Xbox360 will have too much market share compared to the PS3 of 2007 for it not to be. Even in Hideo doesn't handle the port (and he doesn't need to, he will have already written and directed the game, his input is no longer required by Konami beyond that point), it will be ported.

 

[Avalanche]

But it's been a confirmed exclusive

Oh just ignore him. He knows it won't be ported. He's just trying to be irritating, at which he generally succeeds.

 

[Lactophiliac]

Well since the 360 is going to be in a very different situation then the original Xbox was, plus the fact that MGS2 took so long to be ported was a major reason it didn’t do well. I think they'll consider porting MGS4 they do want to make money after all.

Oblivion is less of an RPG and more of a one player MMO 1
The 360's fake backwards compatibility

While those 2 do annoy me my biggest problem is the lack of a standard hard drive and thus the inability of any developer to utilize the hard drive, they should’ve at the very least had like a 5 gig hard drive on the core system that could only be used by games, not for saving or for downloading anything.

No major reasons why Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance failed on the Xbox was because it was a s***y port with s***y controls (the Metal Gear Solid games are mostly built with the Dual Shock controller in mind). There was barely any demand for an Xbox Metal Gear at the time and pretty much everyone who was going to get Metal Gear Solid 2 already had Metal Gear Solid 2
