You're all forgetting the fact that the ps2 and Xbox had original IP's. Nintendo has been releasing the same games with a fresh coat of paint (sometimes not that fresh) since they began. I love Zelda and Mario but I can't get myself to shell out money for the same games with the same plots 5th time in a row.

Everyone criticises call of duty and other shooters for having very little variety while giving Nintendo a free pass

I think it's safe to say the PS2 was really defined as a videogame console by Sonic Heroes.

I think the difference is that Call of Duty gameplay is pretty mindless even the first time you play it. Zelda might have the same story and structure every time, but there are new puzzles to solve and the gameplay is constantly evolving and changing as you go through.

Even if you think Nintendo only has 5 different games that they recycle 1 at a time per year, that's better than Xbox which only has 1 game that they recycle 5 times a year.

Imagine how badly MS' infrastructure would be doing if they made a popular console, in a way the Bone is a blessing.

That line was probably included as a positive somewhere in someone's RackPlank year-end evaluation.

I'll never understand people who poo poo talk Nintendo for rehashing games and then turn around and buy assassin's creed 9/saints row 5/halo 7/etc.

Platform aside, I was really disappointed that with three new racing games this season only one was good while the other two are just garbage.

Pack it up boys, the Xbox delivered.

That it did, now let's hope they can also deliver the petabytes required so the Bone owners can play Halos 1-4 online (although Halos 1, 3 and 4 are currently playable online on the 360, and 2 you might be able to fake a LAN game with online I guess, or play the PC version?)

Which should I buy next? CoD:AW, Destiny or Halo: MCC? I haven't played a CoD since MW3, I've never been informed of the quality of Destiny but everyone appears to be playing it and I didn't play the earlier Halos because I owned a Gamecube.

None of the above? Cod and halo are done to death and just boring as gently caress at this point and they're already making destiny 2 so...

The only people playing Halo MCC in 3 months time will be a clan devoted to spending 7 hours setting up elaborate, single shot, grenade + warthog trick jumps.

Interesting about tlou, still doesn't explain why you need to buy arrows for your bow through microtransactions though. Guess Sony need that dolla.

There are no microtransactions in TLOU. There are 8 new perks and 8 new guns, and cosmetic items as DLC. You don't buy ammo.

Like you never played any of the halo games, or just not the original Xbox halos?
