Listening now guys,Will comment more when done,I may have some Q;s
Fuck my mic sounded like shit today, you should have said something
Yea,Ya’ll seriously gotta get a better recording program(as you stated already)It was very hard to follow.
I few Q;s I got for you guys.
1.Will ya’ll have the whole versions of the Press conferences? If so which one? or all of them?
2.Did you decide if you was gonna have live feed of the show? If not will it be just parts of the show,such as just highlights? or the whole show?
3.Will they be downloadable?
I agree with Torrence and as stated most of the community about GTA 4 It got really boring and had to force myself to just finish the story,My biggest gripe was the driving and always rode around in Taxi’s
But not gonna get in on anything else as most of the rest of the show had quite a bit of controversy and don’t like stepping on peoples toes.
And very good idea in the change up to giving awards to the “True gamers”
In his (as in the “Truegamer” winner) comment about hiphop being “Pro Sony” and Torrence being the “Advocat” I feel that Torrence is Pro Microsoft,But thats what I think makes this the Warzone and what cause the the Controversy and which makes a Warzone show.
Good show tho guys and just try to get the recording issues fixed.
Thanks for another great show,Can’t wait the the HHG show so get it popping hiphop .
I agree Tor its time for a new recorder, it really messed up big time lol.
Here’s my thing, why is it that every since last year everyone is looking forward to what Sony is going to present. Not talking about you guys because yall seem to be looking forward to everything. But its these analysts that seem 2 take what Sony presents and turn it into something negative when we know absolutely nothing about the game. Sure its things thats probably going 2 be announced that has already been done, but that doesnt give them the right to determine the outcome of it. I mean look at a game like Killzone 2. There’s been people every year to nit pick something about it. B4 last year they were saying “Oh there’s no way they are going to match that trailer.” Then after E3 07 they were saying, “Oh the A.I. is dumb they need to work on it.” Last but not least and this is recent, “It doesn’t have innovation.” It just goes to show you(and Im going with Tor on this one), you can’t judge a game b4 it’s released. Hell, Im not even judging the game yet and I won’t until I have it in my hands lol.
Now another game that comes to mind about the same situation, Gears. Gears was an awesome game and the 2nd one is going 2 be INCREDIBLE!!! Gears 2 is getting bashed also because people are saying, “Oh it looks like Gears 1.5″ and thats bull! I don’t own a 360, but after watching Gametrailers TV last night and seeing the Limited Edition of the Gears 2 Xbox 360, Im telling you right now Im getting it. Not because of one game, but so I can enjoy the full next-gen experience.
Im not going to jump on sales or anything like that because personally I could careless. Long as Im enjoying games with my friends Im cool. This gen reminds me of Nintendo vs Sega from back in the day lol. But yeah hopefully E3 will be great and Im looking forward to the coverage. Im hoping to hear some great announcements of new titles as well as updated info on titles already announced. Great show you guys I enjoyed it and it was definitely one of the most intense warzones ever, lol!!! Tor I see you played Jimmy by BDP at beginning and I enjoyed it. Thanks u guys and Im definitely coverage, PEACE.
Torrence, on your comment on e3 not comparing games that are not fully complete, why did you compare Gt5p to Forza 2 when Gt5p is a year away complete from Gt5?
If Final Fantasy was like Mass Effect it would have a different feel to it with the formula changing and i don’t think it would sell as well because of that, i think Final Fantasy sells as well as it does because the fans like the storyline and formula and how it feels, i wouldn’t buy it if it was like Mass Effect.
still listening…but hhg crackdown was not ass
enjoyed the show. and the funny thing is pamela did the same thing to me on thursday…but alot worse then you guys…2 hours down the drain
Xbox portable! haha, i doubt it i just thought i’d make my own outrageous e3 prediction, and i thought about that today.
Well,There have been quite a few rumors floating around about an Xbox portable,I’m sure you’ve heard of it before,But I would not rule that out,Microsoft is not the type skip out on opportunity and begin its own twist and try to monopolize even more of the industry given the right idea
Oh i totally hear you humanbones. I’m pretty sure just about everyone has seen those fake videos on youtube. I don’t think that will happen this e3 though, but i have never ruled it out. Microsoft has some good games, and i think they could do the portable thing. I’m not sure if now would be the best time to launch it though, since psp and ds are so dominant. Microsoft does have a big following right now though, so maybe.
The demo for Craskdown was one of the best open world game I ever played. But the full game was kinda boring. I personally just like to jump 50 feet in the air and destroying everything. But after a point, I got bored. Love the Demo, but not the full game.
Exclusive Games for the Xbox 360 you guys forgot.
-Mass Effect. This is one of the best games for the xbox 360. Blu-Ray would have been perfect for this game.
Exclusive Games for the PS3 you guys forgot.
-Uncharted you need to play this game
-Warhawk one of the best online games for both system
I personally love GTA4 (PS3 version) for the first week. I was about 7 mission away from finishing the game. Then it happen. I just put the game back in it box, and haven’t played it since. And I got it on day one. I have yet to finish the game, and after my Hard Drive got fuck up, I don’t feel like playing that game again.
I hope the never make another GTA game again, because it dead. Saint Row 2 look to be what GTA IV should have been.
Agreed Slave,They could very well have a good footing in the handheld buisness,They deffinatly have the means and the cash to do so,And also agree that it it wouldn’t be a good time for them to intoduce a handheld this late in the game,Although if it was in the normal price point of handhelds and actually had good games and was considered more of a “Next Gen”(a GEn up from PSP” then it could very well co-exist and build up a fanbase that we all know Microsoft has a very large crowed of,So again,I would not rule it out on being shown at E3 or even TGS possibly
TheHater,
I cant believe I forgot WARHAWK!
Easily one of my favorite games on any console right now.
Theres seems to be some kind of delay. You guys sometimes talk over each other. And hiphop you forgot Tekken 5 DR online.
Wow true gamer of the week award! Man I feel pretty awesome right now. Well, one thing’s for sure man you guys are some of the coolest cats in the industry. I swear nobody makes me more entertained than watching HHG confront Aaron Greenburg. No other source would have the balls to do so.
And everything about the bit bag is real, in your face material.
One thing I just want to clarify is that, yes I’m not a hardcore Fanboy. But just like any other, I still have my bias about certain things.
But what sets me apart from the other “fanboys” is that I’m willing and open to be corrected. There’s always something new to learn especially in this exciting industry. And not just that, but it’s also about having fun. And it’s great to exchange thoughts and opinions.
Games are such a big medium of entertainment now, it stretches far beyond the games themselves. The media, the blog, the conventions, the budgets, the controversies, etc.
But I have 100% support for the Bit Bag and Tordavis and HHG because you guys are doing something different. No fake coat of paint, it’s about telling it like it is. I hope you guys become big enough to change the industry into the right direction.
I also hope companies like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo take notice of what gamers are about and what we want. And so far, the Bit Bag is leading the charge.
So finally, keep doing what you guys are doing. And Tordavis, at first I admit I misunderstood what you were all about. But after really paying attention to what you’re doing. You’re doing it for the love of the gamers and the love of the fans. Something we cant even expect from Microsoft Sony or Nintendo.
wow, ok this comment goes out to hiphopgamer again.
while i do like and agree with a lot of the things you say, as i state in most comments i leave you, you are totally off the mark on what youre saying about nintendo… AGAIN!
now, i have gotten to the point to where i honestly think you just have some sort of innate bias against nintendo, and i really have no idea why. first of all, in your opinion, you think sega genesis won the console war? now i know youre not talking about sales but exclusives. nintendo had all the exclusives, man, come on. killer instinct, the legend of zelda: a link to the past, chronotrigger, final fantasy II, final fantasy III, super punch out, super mario world, yoshi’s island, super mario kart, donkey kong country 1 2 and 3, super metroid, illusion of gaia, act raiser 1 and 2, mega man x, mega man x2, mega man x3, the 7th saga, contra III, super castlevania IV, secret of mana, f zero, and pilotwings.
i mean, these are all games that i just named off the top of my head! name what games did the genesis have that were better than any of those games?
that is only one point that i had to get out of the way. another thing you said was all that nintendo does is try to reinvent mario or some other fantastic game. look, you talk about final fantasy a lot and grand theft auto. final fantasy started out on nintendo, and theyre just about to make final fantasy XIII. so do you mean to tell me that this is a bad thing and square is just unoriginal? is that your argument against them? oh yea and rockstar. all they do is try to reinvent grand theft auto, i mean come on there is what, seven or eight grand theft auto games? how unoriginal! theres no need for gta IV just like there is no need for super mario galaxy or zelda: twilight princess.
you kind of lost me hiphopgamer, i used to think you were fair, but now youre looking more and more like a fanboy.
name what games the genesis had that were better than any of those games**
sorry, i reread my post, and realized that sentence was quite incoherent.
