Leipzig Games Convention - The Xbox 360 Irony.

[Geo Da Sponge]

Once again, I was taking it as assumed that I was describing their opinions, not actual fact. I never said this has any bearing over reality, and I fail to see why any of you would care that 9 Germans think that Mirrors Edge is the best game on the 360.

And of course I'm not paranoid. Why? Who have you been talking too? You're one of them aren't you? They're out to get me, I know it.

Alright, good to see you have a sense of humour. I guess I can't loathe you as much now...

But to be fair, you implied that they couldn't be wrong. As for why I should care, it's a knotty question. Then again, why should you care what I think, and vice versa? If people truly didn't care what others thought, this would be a rather meaningless place.

Now, excuse me while I find a new hate figure.

Well done for taking the discussion on a nationalistic level...

Yes, we must give others opinions some weight, but it would help if we knew who the hell these people were. They could be 9 mothers roped in off the street, who felt that the cute LittleBigPlanet was better than the uber-gory Resistance 2 (Exploding Magnum round! HELL YEAH! Gun that fires Chainsaws! HELL YEAH! Vampire gun! HELL YEAH!), and who felt that the heroine in Mirrors Edge was better than the male character in Fable II.

You can be female in Fable II, just thought I'd point that out.

Thanks for calling out racism. You are now black and if anything every go wrongs for you, Just blame random people.


Moving on I would like to point out that many exclusives universally score high then multi-platforms for the most part.

See halo 3, MGS4, Bioshock(Okay it was a double exslusive.), Gears of war and such.

When multi-platforms look more promising then what the parent company can produce, Theres were a problem falls.

Microsoft has thousands of employees working on gaming, Sony and Nintendo too, While multi-platforms usually work with around 100-300.(Other then bungie which could take over the world with the indoctrinated, And set up a religion more popular then Christ.

There's quite a difference in nationalism and racism, Mister. And I can't see how my skin color makes me "blame random people"?

If Indigo doesn't think before he posts such oddities, he's just asking for ironic comments. ;-P

Yes but you implied that because the guy was describing them that he was taking a jab at them. You then called it out when you could have let it died.


Now we are having a retarded conversation about you being a caller of racism...Whoops...'Nationalism'*he says in a snarky tone.*

He's not being racist or nationalist or whatever! It's just that "9 Germans" sounds better than "9 people you're never going to meet". They are just 9 people. Who are Germans. Apparently not caring what 9 random people who happen to be German think is Racist. Or whatever.

Simply because a game comes out on two consoles doesn't mean that it can't be considered the best that any one console can offer. The judges simply looked at all the games 360 had to offer and elected their best. Now when they looked at all the PS3 games they clearly found Little Big Planet to be better than the PS3 version of Mirror's Edge.

This says nothing of how the 360 and PS3 versions of Mirror's Edge compare, the controls or graphics may be better on another but that would be comparing apples to oranges. The judge chose only to compare PS3 games to PS3 games and 360 games to 360 games.

Also your definition of irony sucks.

Guys I am STILL confused, people say "nooooo, best game on the 360, not for" - but it says "best 360 game" - which should mean "best game you could play that's made for 360" - so 'exclusive' comes to mind.

Now the theory about where Leipzig is set and their banning of Gears and probably fable because it will have a black screen and sex sounds for 10 seconds, makes a LOT more sense.

 

[AlmightyMax]

Not sure you know what irony means, bro.

 

[bloodclot]

Well actually they were germans: GC Jury [http://www.gc-germany.com/index.php?page=166] -bottom of page.
All journalists except the last one. I'm quite surprised as I thought it'd be an international jury.
And yes, to me it read like he was defo having a jab at their origin.
Nevermind, I'll leave it now.

However, Resistance: Retributions presence sort of shoots that in the foot.

I think that's an unfair comparison, I mean, that's a handheld - of course it'll be an exclusive.

Anyway, if they are going to decide "what is the best game the 360 has" and it's some non-exclusive EA title, it just really sounds like they missed the whole point of picking a game to showcase the 360.

Someone clear my head, this thread is a clusterfuck, and I've read house of leaves.

I think M$'s strategy is to hold all multi-platforms up to the sky and hope god strikes them with being exclusives.
