I think some people have not read the post. Either that or they don't get exaggeration, unless someone types "exaggerated." It kinda ticks me off that I can't be sarcastic without typing sarcasm or putting a up. Well, of course, unless I want to get reported because someone thinks I'm being serious, even though my comment is WAY out there. I know this is the internet, but COME ON!

Anyway, I think he brings up a good point. If you can make the games the same on both, fine with me. But if you can't, why punish those on the system that could have had a better version. I think the biggest example of late is FF13. I'm sorry 360 fans, but content was chopped off so the 360 version could be. There were 3 or 4 areas removed so that it all could fit on the 3 discs. I'm not saying that the game will be crappy now, just that extra content is always better, epecailly when it was already running on the PS3 before it was removed.

@ Slimebeast

You claim that FF13 has only 6.8 GB of game data. Now I don't know if it's true, but let's go with that. On the PS3 that's all it will take up, since it's one disc. However for the 360 version you have to take into account how much of that has to be repeated across all discs (of course unless you want to have to switch discs repeatedly because you're in a new area, even if you've been there before), plus code on discs 2 & 3 so that the game can read the info from your HDD so it can load all your from the previous disc (though I doubt this would take up much space). And let's not forget that on each disc MS reserves ~1GB for security purposes. After all this, you can see why they may have needed to remove things from the PS3 version so that both games would be equal.

If he wants to exaggerate fine but exaggerations that then don't apply seem pointless.

GTA4 is probably a case where a game went to crap because of increased development cost and inefficient development. You can't see $100M worth of game content, and the performance of other R* franchises like Red Dead Redemption are further proof as to how badly R* are being run. Further to this you can blame the Xbox 360 all you want but arguably they had an easier time of development with that console as the game ran better on that platform according to the Beyond3D framerate dude with a higher resolution output. Due to how badly they are run as a studio they would have been best to make it exclusive to the Xbox 360 if we took your logic to its conclusion.

With such a powerful position as a developer they could have put it on two discs if they so chose. Theres absolutely no reason why they couldn't tell Microsoft where to shove it in relation to increased royalties. They were not limited by disc space because had they wanted to they could have just as easily put two discs as the game is divided into islands which are unlocked during gameplay. Most Xbox 360s have HDDs and they could have simply asked to have an optional install of 4-5GB if it really mattered THAT much.

Name a multiplat? Well for starters both SC: C and ME 2 are multiplatform. So I'll name them.

Thanks for your reply.

Mind explaining why think Assassin's Creed II is so inferior to Uncharted 2?

In my opinion Assassin's Creed II is clearly better than Uncharted 2, but not so much that it would make Uncharted 2 "look like a joke".

Its ironic that the profit and revenue made by the games which apparantly look like a joke exceeds the profit/revenue making them apparantly look like a joke by about a 4:1 margin.

Oh this is so easy to answer.  Assassin's Creed I (that's the first one), sold over 8 million over 3 platforms.  Does that mean it was good?  No, it sucked horribly, so please do not use sales to compare quality.

I have seen the battle system for FFXIII, so I won't be getting FFXIII until it reaches $20/$10 just to complete the game (I have a collection if you didn't notice).  I'll be getting ASII, but likewise not until $10/$20.

If you talk about rating, did it get a 21/20?  No.  To me, ASII could have been more detailed in everything.  In the village for U2, a bunch of kids were playing with a ball.  Drake heard them say something in another language and gave the ball back to them.  Sure I can go around killing all the citizens in ASII, but that would be pointless like GTAIV.  Remember the underground trap in U2?  You had to shoot the rotating wheel's edges to stop the trap.  That is detail.  Though U2 have quite a few things wrong (it's still better than ASII though).  I don't understand that if you shoot at a helicopter, why can't you shoot at the chopper?  It's like, if I shot it, it would go down in an instant, but noooooo.  Also, the blades of the chopper looked like crap.  Anyways, the script for U2 is very saucy.

How can u be so sure that ACII is like you describe if you don't even own it yet?

Btw, Assassin's Creed II got crazy good reviews. Only two Sony first party games are higher than ACII on Meta and Gamerankings (Uncharted 2 and LBP).

i bought AC1, terrible mistake, long and boring game, but its common knowledge exclusive to a system will end up as a better game overall

especially in graphics and polish.

even microsoft have theirs, not not as many as sony.

All that needs said is that the gap was closed pretty quickly.

Actually the gap of 360 and ps3 will be forever close to each other so even if 360 remains 2nd with 4m gap or ps3 take 2nd with 2m gap 3rd party's will not change their view about going exclusive as this 2 platforms have about the same userbase meaning their missing out like 50% of their sales if they stayed on 1 platform.
