You're sad, we're sad, everyone's sad. But Conviction's been delayed so many times, you can make a few more months, right? Right?

Sloppy seconds? WTF are you talking about? So what if we get a game a year later, it's better than not at all, if 360 fanboys got MGS4 they would be bragging to no end.
@Wiizer: I didn't even understand that comment. Were you referring to it coming to PS3? Then you can get the fuck out too. I'm about tired of fanboys...

Looks like all I'm getting this fall is AC2 and Halo ODST.

You have fun with Halo 3's Multiplayer. I will be enjoying MW2's brand new multiplayer with the other millions more that are playing MW2. I may pick up ODST for the Co-Op but now that we know MW2 will have co-op, theres even less reason to spend 60 bucks on something i can get else where.

CoD is fun and all, but ive never played any of them more than once or twice, other than CoD 2. The heavy scripting ensures that the campaign is the same experience time after time. I beat Halo 1 probably 15 times, and it felt different and played different each time. CoD WaW had terrible co op too, so Ill have to wait and see the reviews about MW2, although it might be better since its a different company. Also, playing any of the CoD games online never appealed to me. Again, just not my thing
Also, the mere fact that you even implied that there will be a lack of people to play the next Halo title with is laughable.
Of course, I dont expect you to understand or comprehend any of this, because you're too butthurt that my opinion differs from yours

ODST, MW 2 and MUA2 are the only games i've got left this year, possibly Assasins Creed 2 and Forza 3. Was kinda looking forward to this one though.

Whew, maybe I can now catch-up to a big backlog of games. : /

I know what you mean...I haven't even finished Uncharted, for God's sake.

I can only assume the delay is to make it more Badass

Bleh it sucks, but there are plenty of other things coming out that I can spend my money on.
It'll make early 2010 quite good though. That's not a bad thing per say.

oh well. i still have Uncharted 2, MW2 and AC2 to look forward to. who knows: maybe Conviction's delay will convince me to look into ODST, since i plan on getting the aforementioned three on the PS3 (don't wanna have too many games on one system while slighting the other).
Posted: Jul 27th 2009 1:09PM (Unverified) said
Wow, that sucks. I was really looking forward to it, but I guess I have to settle for these puny games that are nowhere near the badassness that is Conviction.

So it's going to go up against God of War 3? Or am I mixing up the release dates?

More like Splinter Cell: Convoluted, amirite?

I don't think many publishers want to be in competition with MW2.

F@#K!
Now there's nothing on 360 for 09 I wanna buy/play.

Guess it will be just ODST, and MW2 for me then. Splinter Cell was a Must buy for me... :(

I didn't even know Conviction was supposed to release this year. I always thought it was a 2010 release.

Well, hopefully there will be good downloadable games available this fall/winter. Or I could just save up for the 2010 when there's a AAA title for every system.
StarCraft II will be a nice distraction in fall 09. maybe

All the games that have been delayed they don't want to sell it the same months when MW2 come out because everyone gonna be buying MW2

I smell that it is more of a business decision delay rather than a delay in development.
If MS is pitting Conviction up against God of War 3 in March, that is rather suicidal. As good as Conviction is shaping up to be, it definitely isn't GoW3 calibre.

While some people might be disappointed I for one am very glad that there are less games coming out during the holiday season.

Thank God! I want this game in a bad way.. but now I'll have money and time to purchase some other titles. Forza 3, Assassins Creed 2, COD MW2, Halo ODST.... did I leave any out? But I'll need a little breathing room between holiday and first quarter 2010. Sorry Sam... I guess we will reschedule then. :)

Sounds like Microsoft needed an AAA title to compete with God of War 3 in March.

I was going to get a 360 for this, and the GTA episodes... Oh well, I'll guess i'll ONLY be playing the GTA episodes on my new 360!
