@ Starcraft

I never claimed with anything like 100% certainty that MGS4 would be on the Xbox 360.


I am not going to argue with you about this, I will just quote you from 2 years ago.

Starcraft (from 2007):
"Honestly, do you actually believe 360 wont see a port of MGS4 in the next 2 yrs? It might come really late, it might come on two discs, it might have frame rate issues but it IS coming. Short of the PS3 shifting 15million consoles this holiday season, the 360 will be running MGS4"

argument YOU used against this was the game's size, even though most know that would not be an obstacle and multiple disks are perfectly acceptable. Final Fantasy XIII proves this.


It's an obstackle potentially affecting game design. Unlike you I didn't say it will or won''t happen, just that I considered this to be unlikely.

your recognition that supposed extra power will not help the console in it's struggle against the Xbox 360 is a major step forward for you, and I applaud you for it.


Thanks, but no thanks. I hold a much wider view on system power than you, for example with regard to fill rate the PS3 and 360 are very similar, but there's so much more to system power than just that. Like I always said the PS3's major core technical advantages lie in the Cell processor, Blu-Ray capacity and default harddrive and how they fit into the system as a whole. The technical gap is IMO big and this will show more and more as time goes on.

@ starcraft

I guess my long term memory is better than yours. However I don't feel the need to make a huge list of things you were wrong about.

The only thing I expect from you is that you tone it down a little with regard to attacking PS3 supporters. It would be hypocritical for you to point fingers or criticize most of them.

I am consistent across forums, why not?

 

And you get banned often for it.  Here you don't, so thats why you go to town here especially.  At least you are enjoying yourself. 

You behave just as badly on amigaworld posting as fairlanefastback as well. You signing up here to get back at me is IMO a sign of extremism.

If you think that account on that site is breaking its rules then report it.  The rules there are rather clearly defined and accessible to anyone visiting the site.  I have nothing to "get back at you" for.  I signed up here after seeing your wild posts on amigaworld.net, I have mentioned that directly from very early posts of mine here.  I still think its funny that you spend so much time on an Amiga forum trying to spread your version of PS3 gospel or whatever.

I was banned by you for pointing out at amigaworld you

I did not issue your ban at Amigaworld.net, which I believe was a 90 day stint this time.

Before that I have only been banned at amigaworld by some new moderators because I quit the team as an administrator and posted construcive criticism with regard to the new team

Too bad public discussion on moderation is not allowed there (like most sites).  You could have personally emailed them.  You wanted a public show (something that as a former mod yourself, you never should have wanted to do).  And you did it several times despite warnings.  You gave them little choice.  But you have an "excuse" for each ban at each site you've gotten one right?  (You do, you've listed them here several times).  LOL!

I owned a 360 before it died

Obviously a very scarring event in your life.

You have clear signs of extreme fanboyism, that you claim to own Sony stock like you repeat here and on amigaworld.net does not change a thing.

You forgot PS owner, PS2 owner, PS3 owner, and PSP owner.  And the PSP was a very recent purchase (this summer).  Explain a little bit more clearly how I am anti-Sony or anti-Playstation?  

I think your main beef with me is that you probably preferred MorphOS in the past or liked the weird BBRV figure a lot and got upset when some of my comments with regard to that issue turned out to be correct.

Funny, in the past you have said this was definately the case.  On this very board you have said I was some other guy before fairlanefastback, you even started to refer to me by that person's first name if memory serves.  Anyway, the problem there of course is that anyone can look to see that fairlanefastback's interactions with BBRV have been far from anything one could describe as adoration.  fairlanefastback also hardly ever posts on Morphzone, which is the place for fans and users of MorphOS.

I just pick the products which I consider the best or most exciting, I don't pick based on brand.

If you prefer we can call you a PS3 fanboy then.

Did you become a mod here?  lol  Lots of folks here expect you to conduct yourself better, that has not stopped you from not altering your behavior.

@starcraft:  It would be hypocritical for you

Funny, this is how you are viewed by many.

You made a dig just the other day at a user who was going way out of his way to stay respectful to you in the extreme, and you left him hanging with no response on top of that.

Mike B your 140 million PS3 ltd sales sounds a lot like Crazzyman. Totally ridiculous and extremely optimistic PS3 fanatic.

The PS3 will be lucky if it sells 70 million console lifetime sales. Competition this generation has seen a much closer console sales race than the previous generations. The days of the PS1 and PS2 capturing over 70% of their respected console generations are a distant memory.

The Wii is the only console this generation that has a chance of breaking 100 million ltd sales. Not even the Wii will sell 140 million ltd sales. The Wii may or may not capture 50% total market share. 3 systems Wii, PS3 and 360 are guranteed to be 50 million+ ltd selling systems.

Competition is always a good thing.

How about a link.  Google does not come up with this, nor does the Search site feature on VGChartz.

Too bad public discussion on moderation is not allowed there (like most sites). You could have personally emailed them. You wanted a public show (something that as a former mod yourself, you never should have wanted to do).


In the past the website was run less strict, we always provided a clarification why a posting was moderated and personally contacted the offending person.

We regularly polled our members on website policies (you don't allow any criticism). IMO in all those aspects the new team is failing. You yourself hold the policy of posting something entirely wrong and malicious and then end your ranting with stating that further public discussion isn't allowed, but even that was not my main concern as highlighted above. Abuse of moderation powers was just one of my concerns.

Obviously a very scarring event in your life.


Not really, but saying in public that I thought the XBox 360 was a very failure prone console at the time Microsoft denied problems did upset a lot of fanboys. It got worse with the evidence I collected in support of this much attacked view back then.

On this very board you have said I was some other guy before fairlanefastback


Well he's a New Yorker too and you guys had meetings, he once was a vivid Pegasos/MorphOS dealer and you show some common trades. I wasn't sure the other troll which joined the website around the same time as you were one and the same person.

If you prefer we can call you a PS3 fanboy then.


PS3 enthusiast, I wouldn't mind.

MikeB is handing out some good ownage in this thread.

 

I remember when people were even saying MGS4 would be announced for 360 at E3 as recently as a few months ago.

I PMed you the link in question. This thread wasn't meant to single out anyone specifically. I simply addressed people like you and starcraft because you felt the need to out personal attacks. The OP does not point fingers towards specific site members other than myself.
