I agree. Unless you want to get in a long ass stupid debate over 1 game, you have to keep comments short....

I can't do that

When you say 2 Plus years, what do you mean? I don't think MS or Sony have announced any 2013 titles.

Pwned.

Just going to give my input, I have 1,400/1,400 on Halo: Reach, over 1,600/1,750 on Halo 3, and 905/1,000 on ODST. Reach was not a disappointment. Although the gameplay was very similar to Halo 3, the overall story direction was much better and very very different. I actually cared about where I went for each mission, which is something I almost never do for a FPS.

Multiplayer is also addictive as hell with amazing Firefight, and commedations. Also Bungie spice things up with new game modes every month.

Just because you ignore upcoming 360 exclusives, doesn't mean they aren't worth getting excited for.

Add Project Draco, MechWarrior and Steel Batallion to that list. Panzer Dragoon is probably Sega's best franchise, and giant mech battles, yes please!

Also Splosion Man is probably the best Arcade game made. I rarely buy arcade games, skipped on LIMBO and Braid, but Splosion Man, damn that's just too good to miss. The only other Arcade game I can think of that is possibly better is Shadow Complex, or Wipeout HD, and then it's a matter of preference.

Also, this is BloodForge, a supposed AAA 360 exclusive for 2012.

What did you miss?  The SINGLE most important differentiator, that being the release of new hardware.  Sony announced the Vita, and a price point that looks competitive, and Nintendo pretty much has dominated post E3 talk with the U.  How could you miss not discussing hardware?  That was pretty big.

Ok, so the MS conference was as good or slightly better than half of the competitor's conferences.

And, I think most of the guff comes from MS announcing 4 sequels...and not just sequels, but the fourth games of each of them...with 3-4 already appearing on the console already. Imagine getting a game and three sequels on the same console. THat'd be like sony announcing killzone 5 for ps3 in 2 years, or LBP 4. I think that's the main reason.

Also, you have to understand that microsoft said that they were aware of fan complaints that they were moving away from the core, and MS responded that they would surprise a lot of people. I think a lot of people went in there expecting something that never was delivered.

I meant the previous two years. Sony just released 5+ exclusives this year so far, so it would make sense them not having games announced yet(for 2012 & 2013) 

Correction friend, I ignore kinect titles, not Xbox 360 core exclusives. I ignore move titles as well. Can you blame me for being objective? Bloodforge? Show me a video of it, a pic wont help.

So lets just ignore 2/3 of MS games (Sony also) because XBLA/PSN and Kinect/Move title don't count as games for you standards? Who cares what everyone else likes and just focus on what you like? Sorry, but I'm not buying it.          

its bad because i said so.

We could make a general list and Sony would still have a stronger army of titles from start to finish. Try it if you wish. It has nothing to do with my standards. I've had this argument with Michael before showing him how even adding Move titles to Sony's arsenal could make arguing about the consoles titles even less in anyones favor who argues towards Microsoft. Yes, its preference, but lets be real here, look at the strength of the library as a whole. To be truthful I'd rather keep casual titles out of the argument because those arent the true games which give a console lasting value. When most of us on this site talk about games which will grab gamers attention, AAA exclusives are usually the titles we focus on. I've become accustomed to it, hence why we tend to ignore the casual by default, because on gamer sites like this, you can call 99% of us core gamers. E3 was mainly viewed by core gamers, which is why Microsofts showing was considered the most underwhelming. If it was viewed mostly by the general public who could only give a care about gaming in passing then Microsofts show would be an A+. Secondly, as i've said before in other posts, for Microsoft to assume there is a core market (for Kinect) is quite risky as the kinect has only been around a year and only garnered true value around one franchise (which shows you truthfully where your market is stemming from). Core gamers tend to waver to titles with stable or complex control schemes. Casual titles gather people who dont really game and give them momentary pleasure, whilst the core titles can have lasting effects and change the core gamers impression of system A, B or C via their exclusives. Casual titles are a passing glance if any. It's like going to universal studios. Oh yes....I forgot....you can now go to the Disney theme park with kinect on a rail. If you view AAA titles and casual titles as equal...then as erroneous as I believe that is, it's still your opinion and I cannot change that.
