Hmmm. . . this is a tough read, as it might be the most X360 biased article I've ever seen. Personally, neither the 360 gamer in me nor the PS3 gamer in me want MAG, but not for any of the really strange reasons given here.

Also, who wants to share some popcorn?!?!


I pretty much agree with this post. Spot on CommonMan.

Simply because most 360 gamers are FPS hardcore addicts,and MAG is more appealing for the casual audience.

If MAG actually did appeal to a casual audience, it would have sold better.

Eitherway the 360 has a bigger hardcore and casual shooter audience.

This threads less about why 360 only owners don't want MAG and more about advertising planetxbox, everyone know's the 360 has fantastic fps games but you don't give one good reason why they wouldn't want another.

^ This

PlanetXbox360 in particular loves to bash the playstation 3 or anything that seems like a thread to Xbox 360. Jesus fucking Christ I don't know how some people can live to do that. Back when I only had an Xbox360 and the PS3 was $600 I would have killed to play certain games the PS3 had.

I wouldnt call MAG a "Fantastic" FPS, i would call it another Haze or shadow run.

I don't want to play MAG the same way I didn't want to play Warhawk and was ultimately disappointed in the game when I did.

I also don't agree with anything the editorial writer said.

For me, it comes to hardware versus retard factor in massive online games. Simply put, it's way easier to find a group of PC players who will talk to each other and not act like a collection of spastic chimpanzees in-game. Any game that offers that many players on one server is automatically PC territory for me.

Wow, this is a stupid article. Someone's feeling sad for his 360 :/ . I've never been glad to not be able to play an interesting game.

pretty much this,

console gamers are for the vast majority of fps players, stupid retards who's brains would overload at anything more complicated that go here shoot this, it's why killzone failed, mag, warhawk, socom. ( failed in the eyes of the industry omg teh salez ). these true hardcore games do very much belong on pc, only halo and cod can ever exist on the console front,wow

sad but very very true.

 

 

 

 

edit: dude I just noticed all those games I named are ps3 exclusives, oh the freaking irony

Why would 360 owners not want another game to play? Retarded.

Yeah, I have to agree that this entire post is pretty presumptuous and reeks of deflection. (Personally, I have no interest in MAG--or Gears of War 2, for that matter--but this guy is trying way too hard to downplay this game.)
