Playstation Network vs. Xbox Live

So again, your "you are a fanboy because you like halo 3" fails again. Whether or not you think I'm a fanboy or not, because I think Live > PSN and Halo 3 > Warhawk, I'm far from a fanboy. I play games to play them and have fun, regardless of what console they are on. Why else would I have every console out there?

There are many people that think you HAVE to love all three systems equally or you are a fanboy. Forgive me if I'm not ready to sing Kumbaya around the campfire, but while each system does have strengths and weaknesses, it IS possible that the advantages of one system outweigh the advantages of another. And a person that claims this apparently hard-to-grasp truth is not necessarily a "fanboy".

ok well we're basically going to have to agree to disagree and I'm cool with that 🙂

Yeah, that's fine with me too.

also about your EGM comment, you are taking the "typical" PS3 stance and looking at "what it will be in the future" stance. do you know why they compare the AI of Halo 3 to the AI of KZ2 in it's current form? Because that's all they have to go off of. They aren't psychics and can't tell you how it will be in it's final build. Who gives a crap, they are doing their previews based on what they actually previewed.

It's pretty obvious they're out to try to keep people away from something that isn't Halo. No one told them "You have to preview these games together." I don't think it's fair to preview a FINAL game's AI vs an ALPHA game's AI. They're both playable, but it still isn't fair. Considering Killzone is the biggest competitor to the Halo series (not that it really lived up), they're pretty quick to make Halo 3 seem like it's some sort of god.

And the fact that you said the AI in H3 is not good just straight up shows that you have yet to play Halo 3 on Legendary mode (or hell probably even heroic mode). Or if you have played it on Legendary and think that's bad AI, then you must think every game has bad AI.

No, I have not played it on legendary. I will do so and post what I think.

And if you think I'm critical of KZ2 maybe you should go read some threads on this forum and see my comments about it. Here, I'll link you to this one here. and quote myself ...

Ok, I can respect those words and that opinion. Just because you can say something is good, it doesn't mean you can't be a sort of fanboy to something else...

I didn't just say you're a fanboy because you like Halo. I had two main reasons, which I clearly stated:

1. You were pretty quick to try to slam Warhawk and the PSN with your whole "ranked servers" argument. You definitely gave off the impression that you were out to say "HA! Live/Halo 3 is so much better", regardless on whether you spoke fact or not.

2. Calling someone a fanboy because they have different thoughts about money (and because they may never have a 360) is a pretty fanboyish behavior, or so I think. I'm not saying I agreed with everything the guy said, but it was too harsh.

While you may try to talk good about things, you're much quicker at posting how much you like or love Live and Halo 3. That's good and all, but sometimes you just seem to get too into it and too defensive about them. I also think you have more of "just a liking" for Halo games...what with everything you've said and the fact that you have a site for Halo 3 screen shots. That's fine and all, but with some things you have said, your big liking seems to turn into a sort of fanboy type liking.

Oh and currently my 2nd 360 died and I just fixed it w/the towel trick. BUT HEY THE MICROSOFT QUALITY DEPARTMENT IS FLAWLESS BECAUSE IM A FANBOY!!

Wow, totally never said anything about that. I was mostly talking about Live and Halo.

EDIT:

and comparing a PSP review to an Xbox360 review is just flat out stupid. they have no relevance to eachother and don't take any sales from eachother, so the score of KZ:L compared to H3 is just a stupid excuse you came up with. EGM is just blunt and critical, and as someone stated above in a post, just because a game gets a 10/10 does not mean it's a perfect game. ANyone who judges a game solely off of a number is a moron anyways.

I'm not going by a PSP vs a 360 game. I'm going by the whole KZ universe/games vs Halo universe/games in general. Think about it, it's not hard. KZ is the main competitor to Halo, right? Right. KZ: Liberation was the sequel, right? Right. It's still related. The PSP game was really pretty good (7-8/10), yet they gave it horrible scores...why? Likely just because it's a KZ game, the main competitor to Halo. That would also explain why they'd be moronic enough to compare an alpha game to a finished game.

So, wait...you're telling me not to look at numbers in the reviews? I thought that was the main point...?

Wow, last time I checked, 10/10 meant perfect or CLOSE to it. I've played Halo 3...it's not close at all. It could look better. It could sound better. It could be more fun. I played 4 levels and got bored REALLY quickly. Multiplayer feels slow and boring. However, I can still play Halo and love it. I don't know what it is, but Halo 3 is far from perfect. I'm just tired of every reviewer giving a game almost perfect scores when it's VERY obvious how undeserving of that title it is. The first, perhaps. The second and third? No.

I didn't know that.

I did notice that if you click on the "View Posts" in your profile you get single-line post after single-line post of smart-ass remarks with little to no value added to any conversation.

not true. i provided valuable insight into how dirk is a playoff choker. not to mention my knowledge of shortspanishguy's residence. these nuggets of wisdom and knowledge won't just come from anybody. you're welcome.

I was going to come in here and say it's about time someone compare one of the service to the Nazis and someone else invokes Godwin's Law so this trainwreck can end. But I see Inspector Jihad already brought Hitler into the thread, although facetiously, so I invoke Godwin's Law, thread over, you all lose. 🙂

It's typical of his response to criticism of the PS3. He doesn't have anything good to say in response, so he responds with that drivel.
