If Magna Carta 2 proves to be great, fantastic.  But if you get two part Shitzu mongrels to have a puppy and expect a pure Shitzu you'll most likely be dissapointed.  Sure there's a chance that it'll happen, but it's better to go based on history and chance.

I don't remember being down on Tri-Ace other than reminding people that they don't usually make extremely amazing games, and RoF will most likely have the same issues that most of their games do.  You may call that insulting to them, but I call it being realistic.

I don't trust Wii Fanboys...

(I am joking ofcourse...and i'm sure you know that....Don't ban me)

Makes perfect sense to me.  I'm buying a game directly from Valve - no other publisher involved, no 'Games for Windows' element at all.  I'm going to play that game on Steam, Valve's own online network service with friends, etc. (basically the real PC version of Live, and one that puts MS efforts to shame on PC currently).  It so happens that my PC is using a MS OS - but that's nothing to do with the game, and if I want I could replace the OS.

Therefore L4D2 is available to me completely outside the MS gaming network.  As I said in my first post I know that the view of L4D2 as a 360 exclusive is because the 360 is the only console the title is available on - but unlike say Super Mario Galaxy, or Uncharted, L4D2 is not a single platform exclusive - i.e. 360 only.  I view this as a competing platform as I, and many other PC gamers I know, haven't bought 360s as so many of the titles are on PC and we prefer to play them there.  Given that the PC platform and version is effectively competing with 360 in such cases, I don't see it as complimentary at all.  If Mass Effect, L4D, Gears 1, Bioshock, etc. were exclusive to 360 only then I'd probably be much more inclined to get one.

I'd note MS clearly see it the same way - hence the lack of Gears 2, Halo 3, etc. on PC.

Pretty good line up of exclusives. Looking forward to FM3, ODST and BOGT the most.

more like the only exclusives >_>

Only one I'm really interesting in is Magna Carta 2

the PS3 has ratchett and clank. demon souls, uncharted 2, GT5 and FXIII in japan if that counts

wrong forum ?

I count only 2 full games, and 3 expansion packs (2 of which are masquerading as full-priced games).


Before people accuse me of being a fanboy, I still think it's a better line up than the PS3's fall line up. 2009 just hasn't been that good of a year all round. Bring on 2010.

I would have prefered Risen there instead of Magna Carta which I almost havent hear about, i dont even know it's genre.
