It was kind of weird, disc 1 was the single player campaign mode, and disc 2 was basically Halo 3 but only a specific map pack (mystic map pack, I think?) and you could instead just buy those maps as DLC for regular Halo 3. Halo: Anniversary did a similar thing with a map pack for Halo: Reach, so there are basically only three core multiplayer products (regular Halo 3, Halo Reach and Halo 4) and the other Halo games were just a repackaging of one of those.

Crafty posted:Did the xbox 360s success depend entirely on its first year, or are you exaggerating for dramatic effect? lol yes, hugely. it ran unopposed for the first year and when the PS3 came out was cheaper and had better multiplatform performance. this is what gave them an early lead and dominance over most of the gen, unquestionably. Crafty posted:Insiderp is right up there with vgchartzzz for their accuracy of their 'sales figures'. Luckily we don't have to rely on them for reviews of both games, which tell a slightly different story that stux likes to ignore no one but you cares about reviews since like 2002 Soul Glo posted:It sucks that MS has had to add so much stuff in; it's obvious they had to rush release to meet the PS4, but the PS4 isn't some great illustration of a complete console at launch either. god knows why google have dragged their feet on the ps4, they did the same last gen as well. i think the real point is that game and OS critical features were all in place since launch on the ps4 in stark contrast to the xbone. psyman posted:Now that's not true, the only difference was not literally just a sub fee. XBL was way superior to PSN back in the early days, especially when the 360 launched with the overlay Guide menu. The invite to game, matchmaking, party system, universal chat and friends list was all very robust and intuitive. you know all those updates the xbone has been having to reinstate party etc to 360 levels? ps4 has had them the whole time. beyond that, xbl as a service has had quite a few more outages, and at critical times, than psn. driveclub for example is on evolutions end, whereas FH2 being unable to unlock at release was because xbl itself was down. never mind the fact XBL digital game preloads need to access to live to unlock for some god drat reason, even though you can preload a game on PS3/4 and then go into the desert with absolutely no internet and play exactly at midnight as they don't use a fuckheaded phone in system for unlocks.

Yes this must come in very handy for those people that digitally pre load games via their internet connection and subsequently move to the desert and demand immediate access to the aforementioned title at midnight. What might be more useful would be multiplayer for the million people that bought driveclub, but what do I know.  It's odd how you post more in here than in your beloved ps4 thread, it's not too late to trade in you know.

It does help when the online service shits the bed when the game launches, however. It's less about your internet stability and more about the service center's.

They blew their load on the Space Shuttle Columbia inspired launch of the poorly reviewed, year late, micro transaction fuelled driveclub. Bringing a below average racing experience to sony players, strictly one at a time. But it's all ok because apparently it sold quite a few copies so stux is happy, that's what's important you see.  I really couldn't give a poo poo if a games actually good or not, if it sells well then that's the one for me!

X1 and ps4 still having nothing worth playing one year later. Meanwhile the Wii U had and has the best games console exclusive titles period.

If only other hard drive based platforms had solved the "it's too big for one disc" problem in the past, 343i wouldn't have to have gone to such crazy lengths. I for one fondly remember having to swap out cd-roms every time I wanted to play a different act of diablo 2, or a different map and game mode for unreal. Hell I remember having to swap floppies every time I wanted to open a different system setting in windows 3.1, lol!

To add to this, the ps4 thread is awful and so are the posters while the X1 thread is entertaining. Also the ps4 thread gets the worst case of butt hurt over any criticism. The Wii U thread is good but sometimes it can get old arguing over what amazing console exclusive title makes the Wii U is the best console.

Be honest :If you could only buy one console out of the big three which one would it be? Bear in mind that the xbox one has halo and sunset overdrive and a twenty gb patch. Ps4 has no games that aren't on ps3 and no online multiplayer, no YouTube app and no download pausing. The wii u has bayonetta but the console is made with children aged 3-6 in mind, and only gets 5 games per annum. Be honest

Driveclub is just boring old developer incompetence. Microsoft is malicious about this poo poo. They wouldn't even spend an extra dollar to put an extra disc into the four games that they're reselling you, holy crap. Also it's a great time to own a WiiU, sadly I think the console will have peaked at Super Smash Bros. But it's a pretty great peak.

I've owned a PS4 since launch and I've maybe had... one day that the network wasn't working that wasn't announced downtime? I'm sure there's been others when I wasn't playing but the whole "Playstation network is broken" is laughable. I wish Evolution made a next-gen Motorstorm instead of a driving game, personally. Those games were fun as heck.

Knowing whether PSN was down or not requires you to have a reason to turn on the ps4 in the first place. Lucky for Sony, there hasn't been one yet.
