I chose a 3, let me tell you why in a fabricated statement that Microsoft pretty much gave with their conference:
"Hey casuals, please do come in and play. We really like you and want to bite into your tasty slice of pie. To our core fans who made us what we are today in the gaming space, listen, we don't really have much time for you, and we don't have the internal creative talent, energy, or patience to come up with any other legitimate IP, so here's a couple of Halos so you can shut the fuck up and get off our backs. Soooo casuals, where were we...?"
And the sad part is, most 360 fans will have their tongues wagging at the possibility of more Halo. Because they can be as 1-dimensional as that franchise. Only the minority will realize they are getting shafted. It literally down to Gears of War or Halo now. Anything else that is exclusive is for Kinect, and many 360 fans dont give a shit about Kinect. Microsoft has turned Halo into a COD initiative, with Halo 4 being the 5th Halo in the franchise (including Halo: Wars) to be released on 360.
So seriously, dear 360 owners, are you satisfied with this? Is Halo enough for you? Don't get me wrong, I am not discounting the third party support you have which is extensive but equal to the PS3. And I know Gears of War 3 will rock your planet. But that's all I see from a gaming perspective that makes the 360 more appealing than other systems. So, from a gaming perspective, what is Microsoft offering you to keep you enticed? I don't even have a 360 and I am pissed at Microsoft. You guys made them what they are today, it is such bullshit that you get regurgitated game assets in return. I consider it a low blow, but different people have different standards, which is why I am asking you the question. Are you satisfied with the outlook of your system? |
idk about you, but 360's holiday line-up is pretty good imo and a good variety of games, not just Halo. As Far as controller console exclusives/exclusives for the 360 it has Gears 3 easily a AAA title, Forza 4 another AAA title, Witcher 2 huge console exclusive, Minecraft another big console exclusive, then final Halo:CE anniversary which will be huge. Now with kinect this year it has Rise of Nightmare, dance central 2, kinect sports 2, Disney game, Star wars kinect, sesame street game, etc.
From what I see there is more than just Halo to play exclusive wise for both controller based games and kinect. Plenty of games to satisfy core gamers and casual. Then people seem to forget about XBLA, which do I really need to say anything?
