Timed exclusive/stuff

You know I was just thinking how its kinda sad when certain companies, both Sony and Microsoft MUST stick their respective console logo's to the mack of a multiplat game. Microsoft seems to do this more, like on the newest Modern Warfare 2 infamy trailer. I have also seen Sony do it with Playstation 3 on the back of Ashes Cricket 09 (Yay...) and I think I saw a ghostbusters one. I wish both companies would just stay out of multiplats, which makes some newer gamers abotu to buy a console think that that (I meant to say that twice then by the way :D) certain game is exclusive.





Also I really dislike timed exclusives. OK fine, a company can have all the fully exclusive DLC they want but I find timed just a tiny bit ridiculous. What do companies get out of it? They spend a few million bucks to get the certain DLC delayed a few weeks (or 6 months- a year) for the other platforms. Its absolute ludicrous to me!





Anyway I said I'ld drop a few words about MAG and I'll do as much as I can now, and the rest in my next post!

Now I am in the MAG beta, however can not play it anymore now that school has started again for me... The first thing I would like to say about it, is that it is pure awesomeness. I got to try out the Acquisition game mode which is where one side is defending two vehicles and the other team is attacking and trying to steal those vehicles.

What I first noticed was there was no lag! Now I thought with 128 players in Acqusition (I think it wasn't 256 players Aquisition) would have lag, seeing as I am in Australia and the majority of people in my squad and team were Americans. But no, there was no ag which I was very pleased about.

Now I'll get the bad things that I do not like about MAG off my chest, this is purely based on the Aqusition game mode in the beta so is subjected to change in the final release and different game modes. My first bad point would be the spawning system when attacking. You can choose at first to spawn at "Tactical Spawn" where you are placed on foot and have to run into the battlefield, or spawning on an ATC (something with 3 letters) tank. It can be very annoying having to run all the way back into the battlefield, taking up a bit of time, then getting sniped or shot down by bunkers straigt away and having to spawn again.

Some smart people will drive the ATC's you can spawn on into a hidden location in the enemy base, so you can spawn on that and attack the enemy closer. That is until one smart defender blows it up. It becomes funner however once both the bunkers and the Anti Aircraft battery has been disabled. Then you can airdrop in :)

Thats all I have time for tonight, I'll write some more tommorow! Seeya!

Back

Ooops realized I kinda haven't been posting recently, not that any one actually reads this :D.

Yeah I've just been a bit busy and lazy and putting off writing to no one. But now I'm so bored I'll do a mini post! I plan on blogging more now though...

Oh well over the time when I didn't post I got into the Uncharted 2 beta (which has now been made into a demo XD) and the MAG beta. I will do a MAG writeup probably next post... or the post after but all I can say is it is pure badass with no noticeable lag when I was playing!

I also was very, very bad and got myself a Nintendo DSi, I know I should be murdered by sony. But I swear it was purely to compare it against my PSP! I SWEAR GODDAMIT! Thats a picture of the style DSi I have. Not my one, some randoms website.

Anyway I can safely assure I like my PSP a lot better, although I shouldn't talk considering I haven't even got Scribblenaughts of GTA Chinatown Wars for DS yet which seem fun :). The only game I have is Pandora's box... a puzzle game that hurts my brain, a lot. So judging from 1 game so far I like PSP better.

I like the DSi though with the cameras, even if they are bad quality, 0.3 megapixels XD, I think my mobile phone has more megs... But its pretty cool mutating someones face. The face recognition software is dodgy, not recognizing someones face I was pointing straight at...

The bumpers on the DSi feel slightly... cheap comparing it to PSP. Like a little piece of fragile plastic (although esentially thats what it is!). All in all I still love my PSP, even if it is the old model and my DS is the newest.

So... Oh right. Also Chinatown Wars is coming to PSP :). Even though now I got a DS I shouldn't really care... but I do because me loves PSP.

I also bought a few PS3 store games... Fat Princess, High Velocity Bowling (no idea why I bought a game that should be on Wii) and some dynamic themes. I personally think the most cool one is the Wipeout HD Fury one, which is free, although after a while it gets a bit annoying. My dynamic theme right now is Little Big Planet, which is the most badass, sackboys are the badassiest things eva!

Uncharted 2 comes out very soon and I can't wait! I'll post one of my mini reviews after finishing the single player campaign...

Anyway thats all I have time for... seeyou next time and I'm back! Yayy...
