Happy Wars is now available for Xbox Live Gold subscribers

@45, it’s not a moot point though, as people are & will keep paying for the service, even after tasting the heady delights of psn.

Though I’m not arguing one over the other, both have their charms.

@49
You can’t very actually say it either can you. That’s quite funny.

I never said you kept them, or disagreed with you on that point. The point was specifically about titles you buy at a discount.

Still 67p for brand new PSN titles and older full retail “rentals” the bastards eh?

@50

What if you don’t want FIFA or who wants to be a millionaire buzz edition though?

It’s hardly worth a mention. Dreamcast and Mega Drive still have games being released, it doesn’t make them comparable with current gen consoles.

I’d hardly call it hate, it’s just easier to view the situation when your heads not stuffed up a Sony CEO’s butthole. Like I said before, the PS3 is a great console for the odd exclusive, I certainly wouldn’t make it my only console though.

#50

Yes, which is why you post the most generic and ignorant bullshit.

Sony didn’t support their customers, they made money off successful hardware. Hardware sells, it’s being produced. If it doesn’t, it’s canned.

MS had to pay fees to Nvidia, look it up. they also had no motivation to produce Xbox, same as Nintendo with gamecube seeing as idiotic consumers like you chose to buy PS2. Consumers make the market, not the other way around.

You think they’re your football team.

You really are a moron. Either that or a troll.

Sad thing is that you’re completely serious. So a moron.

You can’t very actually say it either can you. That’s quite funny.
What are you on about? Do I have to say ‘Yes, number something called something, I was wrong. Apologize for inconvenience and frustration, yours sincerely.’

@55
You have a fine career in politics ahead of you. Well done yet again.

#56 I was saying it’s a common practice to not reply when you basically closed the topic..

only thing that is great on playstation: exclusives. in every other aspect the 360 is better (if you don´t need bluray). sony knows that too, just their fans don´t. sony knows their plan din´t kill them but it definiteley didn´t work out as they planned, while 360 and wii became more succsessful than expected….get over it playstaion fans. just get a 360 as well. problem solved.

@58

Exactly! looking forward to Halo 4 Poly?!

Its awesome how people make assumptions about ps fans not having 360s or wiis.
I played the entire gow and halo series on 360, missed forza, but I liked PGR. They just dont feel as good to me simply because I more of a single player than mp, they lose much of their value without mp.
Thats unlike Da Troll who knows ps3 sucks without even buying it, and says ps2 sucks, and thats 160 million disagreeing with him.

@58
Lets see, ninty is good at-
Online- nope
Blu ray- nope
HD- nope
controllers- nope
Exclusives- nope (except for ninty fans)
get over it ninty/ms fans. just get a ps3 as well. problem solved.

@56
No he hasnt. No one beats putin.

So another russian idiot I see..

Can’t outargue opponent – start flaming him. Typical modern Russia. 75 years of soviet regime did the trick.

@57
That speaks volumes.

#62, At least that’s what i figured from vg247. Anyway though, instead should it be a common practice to address posts per sentence?

@61
Dont worry, I aint a russian. Pretty far from there. Although would like to see a putin like leader here sans his military tactics and heavy handedness.
Looks like you are one of those anti putin guys in russia.

@60: well i have a ps3 too of course, that´s why i got all this knowlege;)
and halo isn´t just a mp game by the way…one of the best stories in games. gears has a great story to tell as well…it just happens to be that they are ALSO among the very best mp games as well.

Nintendo has better exclusives, for sure – don´t make the mistake to only look at the wii, if you also take the ds/ 3ds, you´ll see. sony unfortunateley keeps making mistakes by screwing up their great ip´s like resistance BS. i think this is pretty alarming and i just cannot understand that.

@59: YOU BET! cannot wait…preordered the limited because of the “free” map packs.

#64 Why should I worry? I’m not the one continously flaming people while continously telling myself how wrong they are.

@65
Both have stories from the same genre ie. Western sci-fi. Not a big fan of that. Similarly I aint a big fan of ME and KZ.
I had a ds, but since ninty has decided to continue to prevent me from playing great j-games by region locking, 3ds is off my charts for a long time. Loving my time with vita, great games and now with some the best jrpgs on handhelds. Shame how much non-importers are missing.
Also about exclusives, its a useless argument. I like sony exclusives as they have tons of variety and are awesome too. You like ninty. Matter of tastes.

agree. taste matters here a lot too.
not a huge fan of Western Sci-Fi either…but halo man? this is a great and emotional story. a beautiful universe they created. very believeable. the gameplay is almost perfect (for it´s genre). it is just a masterpiece of a gaming franchise. uncharted, infamous, killzone, resistance….all good but not in the same league – not close.
and hey i like ninty, yes, but i like sony games too….it´s just, if had to choose i´d pick nintendo and ms. overall it´s the better gaming experience imho.

Halo died for me when they used a flying fucking toaster oven to kill Sargent Johnson :-/

Sgt Johnson should’ve been euthanized in the original.

Also, forgot to say that Putin isn’t heavy handed, that’s as much of an ignorant bs as the rest of those. Military tactics died with the White Army too. Deluded people are deluded in everything. Just saying.

I lost respect for halo after 1 personally. That world became less and less immersive as the series went on for me. And, Even know from all the previews and Hands on Demos I have been watching of Halo4 still not impressed.

^i don´t believe you^

So, 8 years on, you’re all still discussing XBL Gold vs PSN and PS3 vs Xbox 360. Yet you want intelligent games that don’t just cater for the lowest common denominator and treat you, the gamer, like an adult.

Well done everyone.

Nope, true story. Series has grown stagnant in it’s execution for me. I don’t feel like what master chief accomplishes is epic anymore. I feel like it’s drawn out in a very bad way.

And. Halo 4 seems to much like a yester year game with a little polish to me. The prometheans(I think that’s what they called them) They aren’t interesting to me. their weapons are nice and the robot theat slings grenades back are cool. But, the feelings of epic are gone. I didn’t get a single goosebump watching the gamescon videos.

And, the multiplayer I watched seems to be the same as always. Jump around like a bunch of weirdos and try to shoot people up in the air. I always hated that jump shoot close combat stuff.

@73: thx Mike!

#74 – Have you played Halo, at least in multiplayer?

If you did, you would know that jumping and close combat is the worst way to do it. Might want to educate yourself on the basics.

Da Man Did I not just distinctfully disclose that watching the hands on of HALO 4 multiplayer a new game that it was jumpinng all over the place. Educate yourself before you comment on things just because it’s about your favoritist thing.

My favoritism? Might want to check out a thread about sub-par Halo clone multiplayer on PS3 before you start barking.

No, you didn’t, besides you said how it’s ‘same as usual’.

It is the same as usual. Unfortunately the hardcore don’t speak for the over whelming casual players and style of play in a game. Same as with a Fighter the casuals tend to turn you off because how frequent they do the same ish.

And, sub-par Ps3 clone? What game would that be? Seeing how you don’t play ish on a Ps3.

So you’re saying that you, as a bad player aren’t interested in the new one because you’ve seen bad players in a commercial. Okay.

I don’t even have to say anything at this point. You’ve just owned yourself into oblivion,

Resistance, you made a passionate thread about it’s shitty tacked on multiplayer yet claim the opposite with this one.

You aren’t fooling anyone, with all the passionate defensive essays about the most generic Sony games and artificially indifferent rants about Xbox. I ‘ve been mocking every MS exclusive but Halo and Forza, you? You’ve been fighting in a corner of the internet for the most uninspiring Sony churn.

I don’t, but I did. I also spent twice as much on both of the prev gens PSs, seeing as how they broke in the middle of the process.

I don’t even know why you’re telling me all this.. I know why I do, because you’re more fun than Happy Wars.

“I don’t even know why you’re telling me all this.. I know why I do, because you’re more fun than Happy Wars.”

No I never said I was a bad player in the slightest. I said I didn’t like seeing the same type of playstyle from halo 2 up until 4. That’s what I said.

Also, When I was talking about the oh so bad Resistance you never played it was impressions on the beta. You know something you do when you want to talk about something that is about to release. Did I defend Resistance 3′s Multiplayer? No, I told people how it handled. Does it matter to biased dipshits like you who refuse to touch something you never played? Of course it doesn’t.

Also, the multiplayer wasn’t shitty for that game it was fun. Hinted from what I stated in that designated forum. It was accessible like a CoD game and maintain a solid combat style of it’s own in the resistance series.

You played a ps1 and ps2 and automatically you know everything about a ps2 huh? Well since your last 2 broke down on you in the middle of their life cycles shouldn’t you be wishing death upon MS for their high failure rate for the first half of the consoles life you hypocrite?

Wait can’t do that at all right? Also, I was a local champ in Halo at gaming tournaments so I think I would fucking know what I like and don’t like about the series as it grew on. I did for a while take that game seriously, even hold local halo one get togethers from time to time but you wouldn’t know that now would you almighty DA MAN.

Besides I wasn’t writing essasys to defend Sony. I was writing essasys to call out the bullshit on you,monkey,and Polys side because you can’t seem to get your facts straight. But that’s just what DA MAN DOES ON VG247 he trolls bigger and harder and spews more obscene garbage then people who no longer visit this site.

But, I must digress your like a serial killer on trolling. You have a cooling down period where you shut the hell up and then choose when to attack another thread with non-sense about how badly you wish a company to roll over and die because you are so hurt by their progress in the gaming community

It never fails to amaze me how ye can have long arguments about fuckin’ nothing.

I found Happy Wars to be pretty enjoyable so far.

Regarding this comment thread, it’s embarrassing and proves that you can’t have a decent conversation with most and the comment sections with the most posts are pointless bickering all over something so minuscule as a platform preference. Grown men for fuck sake, how do you deal with bills, housing repayments, raising a family if you go haywire over a game on XBLA? Fuck off outside for a while please, it will do you good

@82
So true.
Almost everyone here knows that Da Troll is the biggest troll around here, with pathetic english to boot.

@Dragon, lex, fin: finally altogether. the SDF….

@all three: in the end all of you just want play halo 4 badly but you just don´t own a 360. isn´t that right? i bet it is. and i really do understand that this IS a serious problem for you…and then you are coming here and bash microsoft for no reason but your own desperation. it is obvious. give up on your disguise guys.

it is YOU guys who fail in the argument department. it is the same when you piss over nintnendo threads. you know, Da Man, while not always polite , still delivers good arguments and is able to step back from things if he feels someone else has the better argument. this is not trolling is it? your problem is: while otheres might critisize sony for certain things, they usually say good things about them too – like saying that they have great exclusives and so on. what YOU are doing is just ragepissing over everything. telling people to get their facts right while you do not get yours right. calling others fanboys while obviously…well, y´know…YOU are bashing the ms AND nintendo threads. not very clever guys, it makes things so much more obvious. you are the prototype of the fanboy and you don´t even try to hide it. that deserves some respect i guess…at least…or not.
you call out others to be the ignorant NDF while you are a pathetic bunch of twens overacting and defending where there is nothing to defend. the 360 has the better online service and halo is bigger than resistance. mario beats uncharted. what´s there to argue about? can´t you understand how this world ticks? if you repeat stuff over and over and over again…it still isn´t coming true…
still sony is important for the gaming biz, they have become the least important though this gen. this isn´t my fault or Da Mans, or monkeys fault, it is the fault of your beloved sony. talk to them, don´t give me your shit. it is a shame, yeah but what can you do? you sony guys just don´t buy the exclusives enough…i did that btw.
i really do hope sony will get their shit together and bomb hard with ps4. they have such great franchises on such shit hardware.

@86
Coming forward to protect your kinsmen eh?
Well NDF sure sticks together always. See the 350+ comment article for proof.
Show me one comment where I stated something as a fact and its false. And there is nothing wrong in opinions, they arent right or wrong. They are personal preferences. I dont like western sci-fi. Killzone, halo, gow all are from that, and they all arent hot for me. If thats fanboyism, then you should look the words meaning in the dictionary.
Also I prefer a sane argument, not f-bombed ones like some fools on net. 350+ comment article was good as no one resorted to foul language.
“such shit hardware”
Well, ninty and ms consoles arent famous for their hardware too, with ninty consoles like wii and gc described as “toys” and original 360 sucked with RROD. So blaming ps3 as a shit hardware is ignorant imo.

@87: it´s interesting that you take that article, because imho all it proved was that you and some other guys made complete fools out of yourselves.

hehe, yeah sure your playstation is not a toy. you play political games on that thing right? nintendo is for kids, shovelware, collecting dust, ms has less exclusives, only Xchat is what makes live….these are your facts i know. thing is, they prove shit.

that´s exactly the attitude i cannot respect. it really isn´t open minded at all.

who´s ignorant again. read between your own lines pal.

#82, you said the aforementioned playstyle is being practiced by casuals (read bad players), you as well said that you aren’t interested in multiplayer because you’ve seen adverts with bad players.

You *are* a bad player. I have no idea how you went as far in your imagination that you even managed to trick yourself you aren’t despite likely having never played Halo multiplayer and even if you did, you yourself said that it was very long ago and you practiced bad playstyle..

As for Resistance I did try the first two. And they were shit, with tacked on, little multiplayer.

As I mentioned, my 2008 Falcon still works, besides 360s never broke in the same annoying way Ps2s did, the latter failed due to disc drive, starting weird clicking noises in the middle of a game.

Fool.

I don’t troll, I mock. But then with your limited perception and vocabulary you really will never be abke to see the difference.

As for Halo tournaments, were they family ones or amongst your friends? because if you’re good vs terrible it doesn’t make you good actuallly, you know.

Oh, and yes you are terribly, tragically, cluelessly defensive in your passionate inane essays on Sony. Your latest post is an excellent example.

Incidentally, Dragon reminds me of grunts from Halo.. Perhaps more like handicapped grunts.

Should change his name to Grunt246 really..

@86

? I call everyone out for arguing about nothing, and you reply with a massive paragraph of nothing?

Good job man, you just proved my point.

@Fin: ok not this time fin. i take that back. i just remembered that 350+ nintendo thread and i remember you from there…so that´s why i said: welcome back to the SDF

but yea Fin, i get it: i have nothing to say. your words count, others don´t. they have nothing to say. i totally get it…but forget it. i am just a ghost. shhhhhhhhhh

This shit is still going?

Jesus. Go play some games or something.

@92

Just because I think Nintendo have lost their way doesn’t automatically mean I think Sony are the leaders this generation.

@93: this is titled Happy Wars…we´re just giving credit to that

In pubs all over the world, men have these kind of arguments about sport, women, movies & tv shows…

But if you do it on the internet, its petty & immature? Seems a bit unfair :-/

@96
You seem to be implying men in pubs aren’t petty and immature …

^ Its a well known fact that alcohol stimulates intellectual debate & mature discourse… It’s why so many universities in the UK have student union bars

Cheers! To your health!

*Raises glass* A toast to VG247 & all the little nerds who sail on her!
