		<description>Thanks i appreciate it! I just try to keep it real.  Just like some of you on here i get tired of all the bs that is blabed on forums. People calling people out of they names, disrespecting companies, and developers that know more about the business then they do, its just real stupid and getting real old. I get on forums to discuss things and debate games not get in to a war of words about opinions, and perspective.  We all are supposed to be in it for the games but some people just don&#039;t understand what they do to the industry bickering like they do.
 Thats why i like it here i get both sides of the fence with honest opinions and views on both.</description>

		<description>@Bullywithafully - I couldn&#039;t agree with you more.  When you mentioned the Nintendo/Sega era of gaming, I started having flashbacks like crazy.  You&#039;re absolutely right, because I remember being in elementary school and having a Genesis while most of my friends had an SNES.  We used to just talk about how fun the games were.  There was no such thing as bashing a game or bashing consoles.  Most importantly, fanboys didn&#039;t exist.  If anything there were fanboys of gaming because games wasn&#039;t nowhere near as mainstream as they are now.  I couldn&#039;t go in-depth about games in the past because I don&#039;t remember them that much.  Im only 20 yrs old and soon 2 be 21 at the end of this month, but I consider myself a veteran gamer because of gaming for as long as I have.  I only own a PS3, but you don&#039;t see me going place to place 2 bash a game or a console because I don&#039;t have it or can&#039;t play it.  I have friends that own a 360, and we often go over each others houses and game on each others systems.  They always ask me, when are you getting a 360?  I tell them when I have enough money saved up to get one lol.

Times is hard(for me) because Im still in college, taking care of my grandma and working part time.  But I appreciate what has been going on in the gaming world.  Tor has stated &quot;Its a great time to be a gamer&quot; and he&#039;s telling the absolute truth.  I just wish I was able to play the games he, candid, and hip hop have played on the 360 and talk about all the time so I&#039;ll be able to have input.  But yeah I had to let that be known, because there are people who don&#039;t own all consoles that are just as well a true gamer.  Thanks for that Bullywithafully.</description>

		<description>Yo torrence, Candid, and hip hop another great show this has made my vacation better cause i was about to kill my girlfriend and her son if i had to watch cartoons in the hotel one more night lol.

But i agree with you on the whole it doesnt make sense to argue about exclusivity unless you are a one console owner and you arent happy with your purchase and you want to hide the fact that your unhappy.  Think about it when has a grown man actually gave a rats ass about what another man buys with his money? They don&#039;t this whole console war thing is something that spoiled little kids bring up and then you get teenagers with nothing better to do that add to it and then i still to this day am trying to figure out why grown ass adults are arguing about this. I could see if you work for a company then its your job to debate that kind of stuff but if you don&#039;t and you are just buying a game or console you will get whats right for you not what other people think about it.  Me being a gamer and even though half the time i cant afford it i get all consoles every generation because i feel i have to experience it all. 
Some may not feel the same way but thats thier preference and to bash some one else because they like this or that is just stupid.

Now for you people that get on here and try to act like you know it all, if you did you would have your own site, or blog and you wouldnt feel the need to post your biased fanboy opinions on here. But like i and every one else that has a brain knows you don&#039;t know every thing and you are just on here to try to make yourself sound like your smart.

People can say that fanboys have been around forever but not like they are now. When you where a kid i know when i was every one i know had both consoles (nintendo, sega) and the argument wasnt what console was better but what game was more fun mario or sonic. We also didnt back in the day call each other dipshits, and all sorts of other names just because one thought the other was better. I don&#039;t know maybe its because of this internet thing and people can blab all kinds of things with out consequence thats why we have so much bashing now but its just plain stupid and to the rest of the world we look like idiots.

As gamers we should be happy that we have choice, we should be happy that gaming can be benifical both in learning and in getting paid, and we should be happy that we have seen some of the best developing and innovations in along time. Like torrence said its a great time to be a gamer and we should stop waisting our game time bickering about things that are based on opinion, and not facts. I love my ps3 but i have more fun on 360, does that mean i think my ps3 is crap no i just enjoy aspects of 360 better than ps3, same way the other way around. Then their are times i don&#039;t want to play either and want to just play my wii to have some quick fun. Its all on opinion and what one person likes and dislikes is not the same for every one. till next time game on and 1 luv</description>

		<description>In a nutshell.
What i mean is a artist USUALLY only deals with his/her lyrics and NOT the soudboard or engineering equipment.

A dev USUALLY only deals with the technical aspect.

Devs are USUALLY not out of there element.
Asking a rapper to do country is still music, but it&#039;s also OUT of there element.

The analogy should&#039;ve been:
Ask said rapper to learn how to use the sound equipment and learn how to use the machines that print the cd&#039;s and vinyl.

Getting a chinese person to learn russian is one thing.
Getting a chinese person to learn the essence of russian and where it came from then write a russian dictinary is another.</description>

		<description>&quot;My question is WHY DO WE DEBATE OVER WHO HAS MORE OR WHO HAS BETTER EXCLUSIVES?!!? What’s the point? Are you trying to prove that PS3 is a better system to own because it has better exclusives?&quot;

**********************************************************

comes down to stupid pride i think 

I think its because we want what we own to be the best, it&#039;s like sports teams or anything anyone identifies with as their own, they feel like crap if they start to compare to something else that might be better...if its worse then they&#039;ll jump on it to like put it down more

I guess you could also own all consoles and still feel favoritism towards one if you&#039;ve had bad experiences like red ring of death or Sony&#039;s Yellow light of death or even fanboys might annoy you that are considered Xbots or Sony Defense Force</description>

		<description>You said no one gave a fuck when FFVII &amp; MGS was multidisc.

Riddle me this.
What were the other alternatives to cd&#039;s at that time?
Cartridges?

Compare that to the alternatives NOW.</description>

		<description>@2501  -  Snoop Dog is putting out a Country album.   Hiphopgamer is a recording artist.  He makes music.  So does Reba Macintire.  They are both recording artists.  Country sounds different but it&#039;s still music.  If Hiphopgamer can&#039;t sing, well then according to my analogy he should learn to sing so Country fans can enjoy his music.  Same analogy applies to 360 developers who don&#039;t want to learn to code on the PS3.  Valve should learn the PS3 to so PS3 fans can enjoy their games.

@N4Guser - NONONO don&#039;t leave yet.  360 has more exclusives because  it&#039;s existed longer than the PS3.  But again, who gives a fuck who has more exclusives?  If you can&#039;t afford both systems, buy the one that has the games you like.  I own PS3, 360, Wii, Sega Dreamcast, PS2, Sega Saturn and a PC that plays games.  Do you think exclusives affect me at all?  Nope, but to the single console owner it becomes a problem.  My question is WHY DO WE DEBATE OVER WHO HAS MORE OR WHO HAS BETTER EXCLUSIVES?!!?  What&#039;s the point?  Are you trying to prove that PS3 is a better system to own because it has better exclusives?  Are you trying to get those would be console owners to pick the PS3 over the 360?  What if they don&#039;t like PS3 exclusives?  What if they don&#039;t like 360 exclusives?  Yeah, as far as the Wii goes, that system is surviving on exclusives.  I wouldn&#039;t say the same for PS3 and 360 though.  And what&#039;s wrong with multiplatform titles?  Do you know that to get your PC up to snuff to play Gears or UT3 you need to spend a few hundred on a good video card and memory?  That&#039;s enough to buy a console right there.  Don&#039;t get me started on PC gaming, I&#039;m pretty much done with upgrading my box.  The PS3 and 360 give me all the power I need without having to upgrade my PC yet again to play COD4 or Bioshock.  

So just answer my question.  What&#039;s the point of debating exclusives?  Are you a single console owner?  Have you played Shadowrun or do you only use other peoples opinions to manifest your own?  I&#039;m done with the whole exclusives argument.  Unless you can tell me why you think it&#039;s important that PS3 exclusives look better...LOOK better than 360 exclusives, we have nothing to debate about.  It&#039;s a dumb argument and PS3 fans and fanboys are using it too much.  Halo 3 gets slammed left and right for not raising the bar on graphics.  Yet it&#039;s been THE NUMBER ONE played game on Xbox Live for months.  It just recently dethroned COD4 (a better game IMO) and that&#039;s saying a lot.

So before you leave N4Guser, please answer my questions.</description>

		<description>Sorry,I didn&#039;t see this Comment and feel like it should be addressed:

&quot;Also, Carmack can talk about this and that, but until the 360 puts out a better looking game than Uncharted (a first year PS3 titlle) and surpass Gears (a 2006 360 title) it’s still all talk.&quot;

I couldn&#039;t agree more.Let me share with you some Screen shots of his upcoming Wolfenstein game;

And guess what the lead platform is for this horrendously looking title?I suppose you already know ; )

So Note to John Carmack; Put up,or Shut up.</description>

<p>I couldn&#8217;t agree more.Let me share with you some Screen shots of his upcoming Wolfenstein game;</p>

And guess what the lead platform is for this horrendously looking title?I suppose you already know ; )</p>
<p>So Note to John Carmack; Put up,or Shut up.</p>

		<description>&quot;I can go tit for tat with exclusives on each console.&quot;

Actually,this is another flaw I should have addressed;The Exclusive debacle.Let&#039;s quickly shoot this down,as I feel we&#039;ve spent too many lines of Text on trying to subtly 1up each other rather than getting to the Core reality.

By definition,Exclusive simply means &quot;not divided or shared with others&quot;.Another definition of Exclusive:&quot;single(a): not divided among or brought to bear on more than one object or objective&quot;

So with this in place ^,in comes the inevitable and clear as day truth;The biggest and brightest Xbox 360 &quot;Exclusives&quot; can be played WITHOUT an Xbox 360.So the term &quot;Exclusives&quot; should NOT be present AT ALL when discussing games that Developers have made to run on more than ONE Platform. 

In case this sounds a tad bit confusing(It really shouldn&#039;t,because by Definition and Practice all that I have stated so far in this comment are Facts and none of it is Opinion),let me list a few noteworthy games on the Xbox 360 that can ONLY be played if you have an Xbox 360(In other words,there exists no other Platform where you can play the Game);

Crackdown,Forza 2,Halo 3,DOA4,Ninja Gaiden 2,Kameo,Ace Combat 6,Blue Dragon,Lost Odyssey,Perfect Dark Zero,etc.

Now let me list Playstation 3 games that can ONLY be played if you have a Playstation 3:

Heavenly Sword,Resistance,Gran Turismo 5:Prologue,Uncharted,Ratchet &amp;Clank Future,Warhawk,Lair,Metal Gear Solid 4,Motorstorm,Folklore,etc.

------------------------
See,there&#039;s this mentality that exists in both the minds of &#039;Journalists&#039; and the minds of &#039;Fanboys&#039;;the mentality that the Xbox 360 has thousands and thousands more &#039;Exclusives&#039; than the Playstation 3,and that the &#039;Exclusives&#039; that it has,are all higher ranked and are all the top games of this gen!

^  The Top 10 Software for both the Ps3 and Xbox 360 on Game Rankings.Notice something that Journalists and Fanboys seem to &#039;miss&#039; whenever the Exclusive debate comes up?I&#039;m sure you do.The most praised Xbox 360 games can be played *without* an Xbox 360 and are thus NOT Xbox 360 Exclusives,and the ones that aren&#039;t the hot stuff are the ones that are ACTUALLY exclusive to the Platform.

With the way things have panned out these past few months and with the way they&#039;re looking to pan out for the upcoming months and into next Year,you better hope for 3 things:

1)Too Human becomes a success and sells upwards of 2 Million Copies.

2)Itagaki wasn&#039;t the sole reason why Ninja Gaiden 2 and DOA4 aren&#039;t on the Ps3(That is,his departure won&#039;t affect the &#039;Exclusive&#039; status of the Xbox 360 Only games he&#039;s worked on).

3)Microsoft have some actual Exclusives to announce in the near future.Because,at this point,their Exclusive lineup is absolutely pathetic.

This is my last Comment,as I think all the points I wanted to make have already been made.To the Hip Hop Gamer,next time you get on the Warzone,please don&#039;t forget to remind Davis and Anthony that the most praised game of E3,Little Big Planet,is Exclusive to the Playstation 3,and the most praised downloadable game of E3,Fat Princess,is Exclusive to the Playstation 3.</description>
