Will the HALO PC version even make 2003?!?

No really... any game where you can fight jesters and kitchen appliances is great.

I guess that\'s kinda like me being mad at Square for being Sony only...sooner or later you just give in.   Tell your friends to get over themselves...if they want Halo now, then buy an Xbox.  Doesn\'t get much simpler than that...  

And don\'t worry, Halo will come to PC...right around the time Xbox is getting Halo 2;)

LOL whats your point? The relationship between Square and Sony hasn\'t changed, nor did it have ANY consequences on future releases. Bungee however had a game coming for PC that now, thanks to Microsoft, probably won\'t see the light on that particular platform for a loooooong time. My friends and myself have every reason to be pissed. What\'s your point Ginko? Or is it just your pointless rant once again?

Um... FF7 was to be released on the 64 at first, right? Playstation came through and... o_O;

Nu, please don\'t get me started on PSX history. Everyone knows that Nintendo ****ed up - Sony didn\'t buy SquareSoft. It was all done by their own free will. I would also have loved to see the N64 do a game based on 3 CDs...

:rolleyes:

The legend goes that it was Nintendo\'s sticking with cartrige format which drove Square into the arms of Sony. FFVII also went to PC soon after PSX. Square Sony only? No. Nintendo queered their deal with Square, don\'t blame Sony.

Might & Magic great but < FF

Hexen sucked compared to its predecessor and my namesake, Heretic:p

Boo hoo, get an xbox and stop crying about Halo.  I told you guys right from the start that it wouldn\'t come out until no one cares anymore.  I was assaulted with press releases and quotes and called a fanboy.

Anyway, no one should be surprised, and if you and your friends are then I have no sympathy for you.

Hexen is great but < Halo

Might and Magic III sucked compared to its predecessor and no one\'s namesake, Might and Magic II

Watchdog, I never said I was suprised nor did I ever say it would come different. That however still gives me and a lot of other people enough reason to be pissed about it. Why should I buy an Xbox if I already have a good PC and a PS2? Just because of Halo with 30 fps with no online play? Thanks - but no thanks.

Screw Halo, I want to dig up a copy of Might & Magic II now. M&MIII was the one I thought was great.

What about when square ditched Nintendo?  A game that was in development got scratched and put on another system...who cares what went on behind the scenes?

and the point was to get over yourselves...they\'re just games:rolleyes:

So Bungie was forcefully bought out by Microsoft?

The situation seems quite similar to me. 64 owners were anticipating the next FF, they missed out on it \'cause it was moved to another platform. PC owners were anticipating HALO, they missed out on it \'cause it was moved to the Xbox. Nevermind what went on behind the scenes, this whole argument is about how gamers got played, right?

And doesn\'t the story go that Bungie approached MS to be bought out?  Could be wrong, doesn\'t matter either way...

Yes, it was Bungie that approached Microsoft.  I mentioned that a few months ago during a very similar rant.

You guys would all be singing the praises of Sony and Bungie if Bungie would have approached Sony instead.  You guys get "pissed" at MS so easily, but Sony would have done the exact same thing/

it really doesnt matter to me either way at this point in time

but i cant see bungie going to m$ and saying "let us release out title to yer console exclusively and severly limit it sales"

but then again, m$ probably paid them dump trucks of cash so it made it all worth it

I thought the same thing too. Not to mention that they were working on a PS2 title at the time which looked quite good..

Yup - of course Sony is the one to be blamed. Nintendo was oh so good for choosing catridges and telling devs what to do and what not. But we won\'t mention that... :rolleyes: I really can\'t see any relevance between Bungee/Microsoft and Sony/Square. Nintendo shot themselves with the N64 and it had nothing to do with Sony. And btw; no game was in development that got scratched.

Well it takes exclusive content to seperate the system from eachother, and to sell systems. Ms buying bungie was a good investment. And Halo is the best selling game on xbox.

So hey it works out.

And seven nobody cares if you buy a xbox or not. Your the one who is going to miss out on great games.
