Anyway, perhaps you guys are right that this argument has been taken too far. I'm sorry for taking so much of your time and your topic. I would still at some point appreciate you separating the PC multiplats, but I won't continue to debate the point. I appologize for being so aggressive with my opinions on the matter, and I hope there aren't too many hard feelings. |
Naz I want you to see this through my eyes. I work very hard on this list. Regardless of people's feelings, I did go out of my way to make my position clear in the OP, and I do label 360/PC games as such. If a list seperation would help people out more then that's what i'll do, because that's why I made this thread. Why should I have to defend this list every time I make an update? Go back through the topic and see how many people, even the same people, make the same repeat arguments. I don't think it should be allowed for troublemakers to come in to simply stir up trouble, regardless if their arguments have some merit. You can see the difference too. Look at people like shio, king of wale, and obieslut. You can tell they want to start arguments in here. They will repeat arguments that have already been discussed and explained.
I made this list in the beginning of the year, because it seemed almost no one had any idea what games were coming out for the 360. You remember the argument, "360 has no games this year". I knew this wasn't true, and I didn't want that kind of disinformation clouding the forums and affecting puchasing decisions. The topic "Which should I buy 360 or PS3?" comes out three times a week on these forums and the two lists provide a great service to those people. How many times have you had the topic "Which should I get a 360 or PC upgrade?". It doesn't happen very often, thus making a list to cater to those few people just doesn't make sense. What nobody knows is, I also had every intention of then making the PS3 list too as the counterpoint to this list, but right after I finished the list makingmusic decided he would take the honors, which I greatly appreciate.
Just FYI, arcade cabinets are gaming platforms. They are just more closed than consoles are usually. However most arcade games that can share controls usually have multiple titles that can be housed in the cabinet. The technology inside are usually referred to as "boards" and different cartridges, which are normally the size of a Wii can be placed inside. This is how you can see an Xmen vs. Street Fighter playing in a Marvel Superheroes cabinet. If you remember the NeoGeo, it was actually an arcade machine brought home to be played on your TV. All of those same titles could be swapped out on an SNK arcade cabinet. Also, the Dreamcast was based off Naomi board tech and that's how so many arcade ports were released so quickly and in such great shape. Tekken 6 may be one game right now, but Namco may make a new fighter for that tech which can be purchased without the cabinet but can be inserted into the Tekken 6 cabinet itself.
Thanks for understanding at least partially where I'm coming from.
