So how many people are still playing, or even completed, the single player mode of CoD4?
Plus CoD4 has had a more steady flow of multiple maps being released for it than Halo 3. Halo 3 hasn't had much since it was released.
But again, how many people completed the single player game of CoD4?
Your post is full of irony. You accuse me of being immature. Then you go and you do the usual "trolling" and "you're on my ignore list!" crap. That reminds me of that cop that was supposed to be demonstrating gun safety and shot himself in the process.
Anyway, try to act like an adult please.
No, I don't like only FPS. In fact, I'm picky because there are so many out there. I like UT3, Half-Life 2, Halo, but I couldn't stand Killzone because, as I said, it was so terrible it was funny.
I love good stories. Hence the reason I like Half-Life 2. Grand Theft Auto Vice City and San Andreas had very well written stories too.
Final Fantasy 6 probably had the best story of any video game so far. Then you look at Final Fantasy X.. the main character is a "dream" that has teenage angst/daddy issues that cries every time he thinks of how his daddy left him when he was a kid. Then you don't find out who the real "boss" is until 90% of the way through the game. Then it turns out to be a little glowing spider that can't even kill you, you just sit there and hack away at it until it dies.
Then you have Final Fantasy 12. You could have cut the characters down to Basch and that princess I can't remember her name, and it would have been exactly the same game. The only real problem 12 had was that it all but 2 of the characters were essentially useless and the battle system was terrible.
Show me a game with a GOOD story. Not some glorified anime story that doesn't make sense and is laughably bad, like FFX.
Hah, nobody in this thread has given me facts. One person tried with the whole Insomniac thing, but of course, that was wrong too.
GTA4 is basically universally loved. In fact, the only people who don't like it are those who tend to like Japanese games more. as I said before, they are a very very small and overly vocal minority.
GTA4 sold great because it is a fantastic game. Everyone and their brother likes it. Only those who have bad taste in games do not.
And this is where the irony kicks in.
Everything I said can be backed up by wikipedia and a quick google search. Its not my fault you don't know how to use either.
Again, the irony.
As I said, everything I've stated can be backed up by going to wikipedia or spending 5 seconds on google.
Just because you can't handle the fact that certain PS games are terrible and, as a result, didn't sell well even though you like them does not make me a troll or "speaking an opinion".
If a game doesn't sell well despite a massive ad campaign and word of mouth by the very vocal fanbase, that means it is a BAD GAME. Simple.
I meant Yoshi's Story actually, and I'll be editing my post to reflect that.
Yoshi's Island actually did have good gameplay, despite the overly childish graphics and characters.
Yoshi's Story was easily one of the worst games of all time and LBP seems to be exactly the same thing with different characters.
God I remember getting Yoshi's Story. My girlfriend at that time just HAD to have it. So we went to Target, bought it.. an hour later we had beat it twice and were back at the store arguing with the store manager to get her money back.
Yoshi's Story is one of those truly terrible games.
The Xbox Live statistics reflect what games are being played most when players are logged into Xbox Live, which means both Single and Multiplayer. Whether people actually beat either of those games or not is irrelevent. Call of Duty 4 is being played by more people.
As for map packs, Halo 3 has the free Cold Storage Map, Legendary Map Pack, and the free Heroic Map pack. Call of Duty 4 has had one map pack called the Variety Map Pack. There are currently more map packs for Halo 3. On top of that, it only costs 600 Points to get all those Halo 3 maps and it costs 800 points to get just the one COD4 map pack. So your argument of map packs is false. Call of Duty 4 is still being played by more people despite less map packs.
Conclusion? Call of Duty 4 is being played by more people, so it would seem more people feel that COD4's gameplay is all around better.

I guess its just those of us who are intelligent enough to be playing games on PCs rather than consoles that get more maps for CoD4
Anyway, feel free to twist it however you like
I won't stop you. We all know who is truly right here.

Oh yeah! I forgot that COD4 is on Windows and Mac OS X as well, which means even more people are playing COD4 than Halo 3 despite Halo 3 outselling all versions of COD4 combined as you said. Thanks for adding to my point.
Yes we do. Maybe you'll have better luck next time.

Call of Duty 4 isn't on Mac OS X yet. And its being ported by Aspyr, so I'm sure it'll run about 1/3 as good on OS X as it does on the same hardware under Windows.
I didn't prove any point. But like I said, feel free to think whatever you wish.
People who think they're right when they're not only look foolish
You remember that while you keep thinking you're right.Yes we do. Maybe you'll have better luck next time.
As I said, "keep thinking that"
This is the start of your fail right here...
Note: You never said anything about IPs being owned by sony(in fact I told you that)...you just ran on about Insomniac is a 3rd party company that can leave at a drop of a dime.....I then corrected you on your error and you still ran on...I'm sure you watch E3 sony press conference and the Jack dude introduced their 1st party developer INSOMNIAC!
Bless
what games sales are related to quality ? i think that has been proven wrong over and over again.. if true ... Paradox Games, Matrix Games would be sitting there in a huge hall making super shows
and SSI would be still around and not activision, ubisoft and EA
oh and i have already clocked in nearly 50 hours in final fantasy tactics A2 and i friggin hate the final fantasy main series
(oh and there is enough reason to hate on gta4 ... for example it's rubbish controls ... play 20 hours of the Scarface port for the Wii and then play GTA4 on the PS3 ... it's like typing on your keyboard with your 2 elbows and forehead .. blind folded ... and holding your 11th and 12th beer for today in your hands ... while being slashed over your back with a whip ... while being forced into listening to Coldplay

lol, sheesh, that sounds pretty bad.

I shall now attempt to bring the thread back to the original topic...
You know, I've never really got into playing Final Fantasy. I have wanted to for years, but just never gotten around to it. I've never played VII, but I did play "III" (Is it VI in Japan? I can't remember.) on SNES a very long time ago at a friend's house but never got the time to finish it.
I've been hoping for a Final Fantasy VII remake (for PS3 or 360, whichever) that would look close to Advent Children, so that I can first experience the game without the jarring visual change of yesteryear when next to that movie.
At any rate, I may get Final Fantasy XIII, but not sure which system. It may just come down to which system has the more interesting accomplishments since most likely at this point the two versions should be extremely identical everywhere else. I am interested in trying out the Trophy system of PS3, so perhaps I'll get that version.
If it wasn't any good it wouldn't have sold as much as it did.
Don't forget that Halo 3 sold more than CoD4 on all platforms combined
I also want to add something

THIS is what Sony fanboys are waiting for!? I can't stop laughing. How the hell is that supposed to push the PS3 above the Xbox360? It looks as stupid as Yoshi's Story back on the N64!
I'll repeat. SALES MEAN NOTHING. Halo 3 was just over hyped and bad/stupid. I'll also repeat. You truly have to play Little Big Planet to actually like it. The videos mean nothing, nothing at all. After playing it with my 360 fanboy friend he is pretty much forcing me to buy it. Not like I wouldn't buy it
. I love feeding trolls .
I can't believe your all still feeding him. That's one mega hungry troll
*Feeds MacRumorUser instead
Can we stop using gay to mean bad/stupid. It's bad enough on other forums and on PSN & Xbox live without having to listen to it here...
I mean, fair enough if Master Chief was greasing himself up like some KY piggy and riding bareback all over the emissary, but as he wasn't lets drop the g word.
The MS fanboys are clearly gay thanks to the FFXIII announcement. The PS fanboys, quite the opposite. But does it really matter? I don't think it's a "kick in the nuts" to Sony. As other people said, the PS3 is still getting the game. It would be a different story if the game was going 360 exclusive...
There's plenty to be gay about on the PS3 side..Plenty of potentially great exclusive games still coming.
The trend for the future is that third party games will likely always be multi-platform. First and Second party games will be exclusives. Unless Squenix goes second party, I expect most of their future games to me multi-system.

indeed
a lot to be cheery about.But your right, it's not a big deal for existing ps3 owners as it's not an exclusive, and I also feel the same way about third party developers and multi-platforms.
There! Are you all happy? Everyone whining about the title evidently doesn't read teh interwebz or watch youtube or acknowledge the fanboy explosion this caused upon it's release which was thus reflected in the sarcastic over the top title so now it's the P.C. lets not offend bitter/disappointed Sony loyalists nor stoke up jubilant MS fans nor somehow offend casual Nintendo players who simply wonder "so... when does Wii Music come out?"
*pout*
*pout*

I recently played FF7 again on my PSP. Its actually pretty cool if you play it on a handheld, somehow it feels "modern". The only time it feels dated is during the FMV, which looks terrible by todays standards. Its still a great game and the artistry and details of the prerendered backgrounds put most games of today to shame (the way the background artists brought to life all the houses and neighborhoods is still amazing, I have yet to see a game that pays so much attention to the intricate details of how an NPC might live its everyday life through room decoration).
That's pretty cool. I don't have a PSP though.
I'm still gonna wait out and hope for a remake though. Gotta experience such a thing on an HDTV that I'm hoping to get in a month!
When one person calls you a troll, take it with a grain of salt. When everyone calls you a troll, hmm... Maybe you are a troll!
We should start a thread... Who has only 'one person' on their ignore list! You can count me in!
Back on topic, last night there were about 6 360 RPG commercials in a 30 minute period on TV. MS is really going after the Japanese market hard.

which is strange considering one of, if not the biggest RPG, in FFXIII isn't coming out on 360 in Japan. One day they will just give up and focus on their stronghold in the good ol' US of A.
