I am surprised Bluray is winning. By all accounts HDDVD is a superior format for a number of reasons (though, so was beta) The Price of HDDVD players is almost half that of Blueray players.
I have to give Sony credit, i think the trogan PS3/blueray scheme won the day. Sony was able so create an install base for bluray through gamers while all videophiles and the people who actually cared about the format war were going to wait and see which format won.
I believe the things they COULD do on the 360 that they couldn't do on the PS3 were: Release it on time, Sell millions of copies and hire a single programmer to port it directly to PC in a year; respectively.
IT was fun until that flying dragon/insect boss whatever the hell it was killed me in 2.76 seconds about 5,000 times.
That game is hard for the stupid reason that your guy is so so so slow. I love hard games; but give me challenging puzzles, complex level design and tough enemies- not a crippled playable character. Honest to god, he would move faster if he was in a electric wheelchair.
You said... "As for your defensive mutterings about wether more players make for a better game or not, just show me objective evidence (ie: not based on someone's opinions) that Halo is a better game than MoHH2 - and particulary because it only supports half the amount of players, THEN you have proved your point"
His point was not that Halo is a better game than MoHH2 particulary [sic] because it only supports half the amount of players, dumbass; rather, it was that Halo is better in spite of the fact that it only supports half the amount of players as MoHH2. i.e. the Amount of players does not determine how good the game is. HTH. Welcome to the Internets.
Ill believe it when i see it Sony (and then buy a PS3). I remember when the PS3 was going to launch with support for 7 controllers and 2 HDMI outputs for 1080p Support on 2 different TVs. Damn You Sony for crushing my dreams.
(why I need 1080p on 2 tv's is beyond me- it just sounded badass at the time)
