splinter cell vs MGS2

Ryu, you really disappoint me.

Why?  Because for once, I am siding with Ginko and Watchdog?  I never did go over your anti Xbox posts before because I never really had anything to add, especailly in regards to games I wasn\'t particularly excited about.  However, Splinter Cell is something I am excited about and I have read everything in this thread and the negative statements you make towards XBox games is quite apparent.  You can be dissapointed in me all you want, but I still call it like I see it.

I really don\'t know what more to say, but that I judged this game as a PS2 game since it\'s multi platform - therefore giving me no reason to downrate this game because it\'s on Xbox.

You judged this game based on the XBox footage you saw, but earlier said you\'d be willing to play the PS2 version, a version which will not match the XBox versionand that has been factual for every game that has been multiconsole with the exception of control, which is a more opinionative matter than anything else.  Sure, you said it sounded intriguing, but all of that went downhill as soon as you saw the XBox video and started stating that the MGS2 textures were "fitting" and that these were "terrible."  How can one be terrible and the other be fitting?  ... oh wait, this will explain why:

I obviously won\'t buy a Xbox, so the PS2 would be my only option.

Yah, I guess with a statement like that, I can see why you don\'t really treat XBox with any great praise.  I\'m actually surprised you even said the lighting was great, but since it\'s on PS2 also, I guess that comment was warranted.

Hell, Fast above just voiced his opion about the underwhelming textures... are you going to take that as his opinion or also as a bash towards Xbox?

In that case, when was the last time Fastson had anything good to say about the XBox?  And if you want to name names about who agrees with who, Ginko, Watchdog, and Tetrad see what I am saying... so what\'s your point?

I would be careful calling it a mgs2 ripoff, hardware and ryu are very edgy about talking the truth about games they like...

"Hardware" and I just don\'t like you.  It\'s nothing personal against your comparison, it\'s just you in general.

Last I remember I floored you with me GT3 pix? :shy:

I miss when this site wasn\'t biased like the rest of them.

When was that?  I must have missed that memo.

Wow, me too.

Splinter Cell looks great, IMO.
It looks like it will be a very good game, and it\'s for every system... So, why is everybody still arguing?

Seriously, who gives a damn if system A is better than system B? You are arguing about childrens toys w/ DVD players! Just be happy with what you have and STFU!

Oh yea, Gamecube, forgot about that.

We all have our excuses when our girl asks us why we play with these "video game playing device."

Ryu, your reading skills are pitful. I said, I\'ll give the PS2 version a try, >>IF<< it improves on the issues I pointed out as bad in the movie. Get your facts straight. And textures are pitful I\'m sorry. To you they might be better than those in MGS2, but leaving out any sort of comparasment, textures in this game are far from good.

Great job twisting around my words Ryu. I\'ll just leave it at that or else we\'ll have this thread turned into a "why won\'t seven buy an Xbox" debate. :rolleyes:

but...

whatever Ryu. :rolleyes: Your reputation in writting impressions for games has seriously gone to your head. I do find it very amusing to how threatened you obviously feel when someone doesn\'t quite share the same opinion on a game you like and anticipate. Well, sad thing is, there will always be people whos opinion will differ from yours. Forcing your opinion onto anyone who doesn\'t quite agree with you is quite pathetic and won\'t get you anywhere in life. You over all others should know that opinion != fact. My opinion stands - GET OVER IT.

And this was indeed my last contribution to this thread.

And once again, Seven is right, no matter how illogical (or plain wrong) he is, regardless of proof, legitimacy or expertise, Seven is right.

Seven knows everything; he\'s never wrong, and if you don\'t believe me, just ask him, he\'ll tell you himself.

This is why your reputation around here is above Chrono\'s by only the slimmest of margins.  This is why you are a complete joke.  You could have this opinion, if in the past you have shown some objectivity or openmindedness, but you never have, and that\'s why no one takes you seriously or gives any weight to anything you say.

Your reputation in writting impressions for games has seriously gone to your head.

I wrote impressions for Socom because I got so lucky to give it a whirl, but the last time I wrote a true review was with the RE remake for the cube, a review LOTS of people disagreed with and I didn\'t put up any fight there, it was just my opinion and I treat it as such.  Before then, I wrote a review for Halo, the last big review I ever wrote.  Now you are saying, after 6 months of not really contributing anything at all to the gaming scene except for what I post on internet message boards, what I wrote has gone to my head?  Are you kidding me?  *sigh*  And you said I was being defensive.  tee-hee.

I do find it very amusing to how threatened you obviously feel when someone doesn\'t quite share the same opinion on a game you like and anticipate.

?  Threatened?  Umm... It\'s just a game.  Your opinion on it is just that, but you are ripping on it for all the wrong reasons and your slant on the game has an obviously biased tone, yet you deny that fact time and time again.  Like Watchdog said though, if this was MGS3 and it was on the PS2, you\'d be rolling around lapping it up.  If it had the same textures displayed here, instead of saying they were bland, I\'m sure you\'d be saying there was plenty of room to improve and that the demo was prolly an early build, just like you said above for the Getaway.  Those same rules don\'t apply to Splinter Cell though so excuse me for asking why.  I just figured it was a simple question.

God damnit Ryu I said that.  Give me some damn credit once in a while for #*@$\'s sake!

IT HAS BEEN DONE!

Sheesh, what does a guy have to do around here...

[Bobs_Hardware]

dont worry Watchdog.. i get it too..

last night i told him i was about to close a thread... he asks which one.. next thing i know HE jumps in and closes it..

*punches Ryu in the face*

*repeatedly*

Yes, something needs to be done...perhaps it\'s time for an insurrection.
