Biggest Disappointment So Far?

[Lactophiliac]

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).

Unless MGS4 plans on using the tilt-a-wheel function on the PS3 controller this will actually be much less of a problem now.

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

Hence the it took so long to port it comment I made.

We don't know if MGS4 will be ported or not, but just because it's exclusive and it's been said that it won't be ported doesn't mean that it won't. It's been said about games that have then been ported.

Shadowrun.



Who the hell is responsible?

That's it, I give up. There is no way I can get it through people's thick heads that Metal Gear Solid 4 is a Playstation 3 exclusive and that the entire series is a Playstation exclusive and that when Kojima Productions makes an Xbox game, it will be an Xbox exclusive

I don't get it though why does Shadowrun have to be an RPG just because it's based off a tabletop RPG. The only reason the tabletop game is an RPG is because pretty much every tabletop game is an RPG.

Okay well thanks for giving up I guess.

That may be their plan, doesn't mean it's going to happen. Really I don't care though I don't want the new game, I didn't like 2 or 3 anyway.

The fake backwards compatibility is a huge disappointment. I'm aching to play Conker and Republic Commando, but will have to wait until they're compatible (if ever). I wish they'd make a few games BC every month instead of adding a bunch a couple times a year.

Because that's just what everyone was expecting, and it just made so much sense that most people didn't even consider the possibility of a non-RPG Shadowrun game, I mean, it's the genre MS is most lacking in, and instead they decide to do a genre that MS is already overflowing with? It was especially disappointing after playing the two Mechassault games and the Crimson Skies game and seeing how great they were online and offline, to see that FASA was forsaking a story of any sort or a campaign mode for this game, and was instead just throwing some bots in as a "single player". All the hands on reports have said that this game is amazing and a must have gameplay wise, and if they actually do some of the stuff FASA has talked about on their forums (changes to the back story to make it feel more like Shadowrun, different non-cartooney art style, graphical improvements), I'll pick it up. And on the OXM podcast, FASA Interactive said they were already planning an RPG after this game, so I mean, it's not that bad really, but still, I would have much preferred that they just forgot about this first person shooter stuff and went straight into an RPG.

If it weren't for Bioshock, I would be more upset with Shadowrun. But even so, I feel the greatest disappointment with the system right now is not actually the system itselfs fault. I'm actually disappointed with developers for not bothering to make the most out of their games, and I'm not talking about "war3 is teh innov4te!!!!", I'm talking about the graphics.

Gears of War is about two months away, and it's going to completely destroy everying out there, even offerings from Rare and Ubisoft. Rare's games were very prettied-up versions of Xbox games, which really did look amazing - at least Kameo, but Ubisoft's new Tiwak engine (why didn't they just stick with Unreal?) is really not too amazing. So far.

After Gears of War there's a sudden burst of amazing looking games, but why not before? Ahhh...

And Fight Night really doesn't count.

Microsoft even being in the gaming industry.

Where's an animated emoticon when you need one. I need the "applause" one.

You know, I'll just come right out and say it: I'm a Microsoft hater. I owned the original Xbox and the Xbox 360 (if only for a short while), and I was utterly disappointed by both of them. For the most part, I keep my distance, and I try to stay out of Microsoft threads to avoid arguments, but I just wondered into this one somehow.

So yeah, continue with your thread.

 

[Manny Calavera]

Anyone that managed to be disappointed by the original xbox wasn't a real gamer, and anyone who was disappointed by a new console they had "for a short while" was a fool.

If you say so. But this time around, I'll be a one-console only fool.

 

[Manny Calavera]

Which goes into the not a real gamer point too.

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.

Like it matters. Metal gear SUCKS

You're actually an idiot.

 

[XwolverineX]

Get Xbox 360 now, and PS3 after a price drop, MGS4 prolly won't be out then anyway.

Empty platitudes to me. And rather pretentious at that.

But I'm at fault for posting in a Microsoft board to begin with. So, I apologize.

Get the **** out and die.

 

[Manny Calavera]

Someone tie the noose.

 

[TheCardPlayer]

I will. I'd kill someone like that in an instant. Sony fanboys need to dissapear.

How can someone like to get screwed like that? Are they mental?

 

[Manny Calavera]

Burn the fall of man thread to the ground.

 

[TheCardPlayer]

They come to this board to talk about their crap console and franchises? Then so be it.


Let me vent my anger in the Sony board I usually avoided.

 

[TheGrayGhost]

EDIT: Double post.

 

[TheGrayGhost]

Get the **** out and die.

I just thought you'd like to know that I reported you.

This is my last post on the Microsoft boards.

 

[C. Lee]

Get the **** out and die.

This is a warning to you....I highly.....highly suggest....you leave that kind of talk at home. People can discuss and debate things until the cows come home....but when you start telling people to die because of thier opinion it's time for you to break and get some fresh air.

Play nice folks.

 

[Horrorfan]

what kind of girly man has to report someone to the mods when they get their feelings hurt?

I will support cardplayer here. The same type of people supporting ps3 are the same bunch of moronic drones who lap up friends and will and grace while true pieces of greatness like firefly, arrested development and angel die because the audience is too stupid to ''get it''.

Maybe he took it a little far with the die comment, but lets face it, grey ghost is an idiot,and he shouldn't get his feelings hurt on a message board.
