Sometimes I wonder if there are more than 3-4 people (including me) not hating on Microsoft on this site.

They announce 10 new ips plus some sequels and we still don't know about anything but people are ready to downplay MS's E3... hahahaha that is sad, see pathetic sad.

The Forza open world if what I believe it is would be very interresting. Cruizing from one place to another and maybe add cities over download content and online play would be far better than just racing in circles.

Keep hating people my definition of fun is not based on discrimination.

1 - Come on now, most of the people complaining about this lineup are very Pro-MS.  

2 - I don't know how you couldn't be disappointed if you're a fan of the Xbox.  All first party efforts revolve around Gears (A good new IP, but this is it's third release this generation, it's growing a tad stale), Halo, Fable, Forza.   And that's about it.  Nothing new, or relatively little that is new. 

When there isn't a Halo and Fable, there is a Gears Forza.  Year after year.  All good franchises but at this point they're being milked so hard that they aren't nearly as enjoyable.

We've already had (4) Halo franchise uses thus far this generation.

(2) Fable franchise uses.

(3) Gears Franchise uses soon.

(2) Forza franchise uses if this information is true (On the verge of (4) or possibly more).

 

3 - The only PS3 franchises that come close are Resistance (on the verge of 3),  Motorstorm (With 3), Uncharted (On the verge of 3).  The big difference is type of game, Uncharted is story driven much more than any other game listed without necessarily a long engrossing MP portion.   And Sony has numerous other titles to couple with games that they are milking dry.

It looks especially bad when Sony is just pumping out exclusive after exclusive, reviving old IPs, creating new Ips, releasing sequels to IPs as well as releasing across a wide genre of games.   MS is living off of third parties which at this point in the game isn't a viable solution still.

 

I do think MS is treating Kinect owners well with new titles (Something Sony has disappointed me a tad with thus far). However, you can't neglect your core to the extent MS has.  I would rather tons of solid quality core games with a smattering of occassional good Move only games then tons of middling Move games and limited core games.


1 - I doubt that but I could be wrong. I'm not that much into Microsoft, it just happens this generation I only have a 360. If Sony releases a great game then good I will get to play it later at some friend's place there's no need for me to keep comparing line ups again and again.

2 - Why being disapointed? They're supposed to announce 10 new ips, sequels to loved games and maybe more then there's the third party games and maybe some more... what exactly do you want?

3 - Why bring Sony? Good for those who have a PS3. Just because Sony releases more first party games doesn't make them better games. They could release a milion exclusive each year only 2-3 of them are worth. "Core" gamers care more about the quantity of exclusive more than the quality of them. This year they might have a lot of exclusives but except for Uncharted 3, Killzone3 and maybe Infamous 2 tell me what's so compelling about their lineup? And guess what, they're sequels also just like Gears Forza and Halo.

You guys make a fuss about Microsoft releasing more iterations of their franchise and keep praising the competition's way but hey Ninty and Sony keep rehashing old games here and there and bringing their handheld games to console if that's not milking then tell me what is.

So it's Gears of War, Halo and Forza in the same year plus 20 other exclusives, just from the MS conference. I wonder how many more that will be including the 3rd party stuff.

Exactly.
