The MGSR forums are buzzing eversince the bomb that was dropped upon E3. For the longest time people like myself have hoped that MGS4 would make its way to the xbox 360, the announcement of mgsr was quite a surprise and a major highlight at E3. Since then talks of fanboyism and pure fanboyism have been among the chatter. May complain that the game is an exclusive and that MS fanboys would be claiming the same thing if that happened to any franchise exclusive to the xbox 360. Truth be told that the metal gear franchise started on the NES and the that MGS2 appeared on other consels. With that being said were are the Nintendi fanboys in the argument? Why didn't the sony Fanboys Complain about Snake being in SSBB? why is this even a big deal? MGSR isn't even an exclusive. I'll let you sleep on it.

also just as an example of how bad things are getting here is a link to Kojima's blog. http://www.kjp.konami.jp/gs/hideoblog_e/2009/06/000177.html

Ok so we've all heard the great news FFXIII is slated for a 201o release. So what does this mean for others? It means an inevitable witch hunt is happening. The PS3 Fanboys are pointing fingers at Microsoft for delaying the launch of the highly anticipated installment of the Final Fantasy Franchise. With that being said this was a decision on Square's part to increase profits. I am tired of a bunch of winy fanboys going around mopping because their console lost a great exclusive. I own 2 out of the 3 current gen consoles so don't be screaming fanboy for my honest opinion.

Why the PS3 is loosing eexclusives:

1. The price - Let's face $399 is not cheap especially in this economy. Many of the older SKUs cost more than refurbished at gamestop. The Xbox360 has 3 skus starting at $199 and the wii has has a single sku going for $249. Consumers want more bang for their buck.At lower price rates it's for a consumer to purchase a console with games and accessories or in a bundle for a bout the same price.

2. Blu-Ray - As you all know blu-ray has beatean out HD-DVD, However can it be as sucessful? The answer despite what some may think most people don't have HD tvs yet. Blu-ray has been a big part of the PS3 package. unfortunelately despite postive sales the majoirty still use DVDs. Blu-ray allows for more data storage and proved quite usual in he development of MGS4. Allready dvd and Blu-ray sucessor is in the pipline.

3. Poor exclusives to begin with - Lates face other than MGS4 i really don't find any other exclusives appealing.

In the last generation I had a bias for the Japense consoles now unfortunately there a lot of disapointment Coming out of Japan. Recently I've been disapointed by JRPGs sadly i have yet to beat any. Phantasy Star universe is an example of this it's mediocre at best and i felt kind of silly playing it of coarse rpgs in general havn't been the same oblivion was wicked easy to get through the story but it felty to bah to me. I'm hoping that FFXIII is the RPG i've been waiting for.

I rember nearly four years I put out an e-petion to gain more support for bring the the Final fantasy franchise to the xbox360. I was scoffed at for doing so by many members of the community. I was very excited to hear abot the xbox360 adaption for me that ment that i wouldn't have to buy another console to enjoy a game i've been waiting for.

I really can't say I'm suprised by the outcome and quit frankly I don't really care. I think we need to let the standard DVD market flourish for anthor ten years anyways but clearly thats not an option here. Sony Fanboys are estatic (a little to estectic). I don't have an HDTV (yet) so I could really careless. The Technology is still too exspensive. Yes I'm aware of the higher capicty that blu-ray discs have but slow down here not everyone is ready for the switch. I will give sony credit for playing the right cards.

A while back some of you remember the controversy that was being made over the resident evil 5 trailer. Civil Rights activists making the usual rant about what ever comes they're way. Today Whilesearching for whatever Media I could finda resident evilamusement parkattraction. I came across some kind of article that was equating thehorror genre with class struggle and racism and Gentrification. I personally think that people are looking into the context too deeply. Resident evilwas created by Japanese team, they have no race problems in Japan(that I know of), so to say that they are racist isn't necessarily true.The games setting dictates the race of the(not)zombies so it wouldn't make if we sawalot of other races. The games has already taken place in the city, the various underground labs and of course a mansion. so it make sense this has nothing to do with racial issues or aids. I think people are looking into this too seriously. I'm tried ofEnglish teachers always trying totell us that there's some kind of message to every story. Back in middle school when we had to do book conferences some the books i read weren't indent for that kind of interpretation so I'd make something up but back on to the point literary analysisis unnecessary when I watch a movie, play a video game, or reada book I'm doing it forsake of entertainment andto pick up on some kind of message the author supposedly is telling me nor am I looking for symbolism.So o make my point clearzombies are not some kind of lower class or racial group being tormented by the living they attacked first end of argument. On a side English should no longer be necessary after sophomore year of high school.

Seriously, so what if Bioshock got 9.0 it's not like it's the end of the world. Thats still a very good score. To be honest I was not really intrested in the game in the first place and I proablly won't pick it up for a long time if ever. All of the forums there are getting redundent with most the topics all about the disapoint ment over the the review. You'll all forget about this soon enough when Halo 3 is released.
