good show. i am glad you guy’s are back… here is a starhawk beta code from UC3.. the code will be ready when Sony makes it ready. (KQRF-NGN3-AMDC) this is not a fake code. i still have one code left. i plan on using it when Sony makes it good! i hope to see the person who use this code in the Starhawk Beta. i would love to play DCU with you guy’s. i have SBC internet connection but it takes Too long to dl all the patches and stuff for DCU. it just to hard for me to start all over on something i let elapse. good show!

All these excuses why David Jaffe hasn’t been on the show…he’s busy finishing the game true, but he was on PSNation a few weeks ago. Did you really talk to him?

This site is doomed lol

Once again, you guys spreading bad info on your listeners:

“The economy is the reason PS Vita isn’t selling”? Lmao!
“The economy” didn’t stop:
MW3 sales
360 sales
Kinect sales
Skyrim sales
Gears 3 sales
BF3 sales
3DS sales
I can go on all day!

I told you & anyone that would listen; PS Vita is going directly into the tank immediately after week 1 sales!, period!
PS Vita:
wk 1- 300+k,
wk 2- 70+k,
wk 3- 40+k?
Wtf!

That isn’t what a new product is supposed to do month 1. When it releases in the Americas, all PS3 superfans will own 1. Week 2; 80% sales drop will occur.

Submish

Of course the only things you list are 360 related, you must have forgotten there are NO GAMES OVER THERE!! OF course those things will sell it’s a desert over there… You’re fanboyism is sickening…

otherZinc

No, your fanboyism is hilarious…

Facts:
360 sold more games than the PS3. So, how is it a “desert over there”?
360 sold more consoles than the PS3.
All great mulutiplat games sold more on 360.
If you read my post, I mentioned MW3, BF3, Skyrim…I can give you more.

If the PS3 had an exclusive worth $60, why dont PS3 superfans buy them? Don’t give me that retarded excuse of there are to many games to buy because they bought the S*** out of MW3!

See, I get criticized because I know business, the consumer, & wth I’m talking about because I’ve studied markets & investments! I dont talk out may a** as the guys on this show, HHG, damn near everyone on N4G & posters to this site. However, this podcast, is highly entertaining but wrong as hell!,

Read something & get a true assessment of the video game market that the XBOX 360 owns a whopping 49% of! Now, how & the hell do they have no games with 6+billion is sales for the year?

“C’Mon Man”!

You’re right about the 360 outselling the PS3, here in America, but worldwide, it’s the PS3 outselling the 360. How can you say all multiplat games sell more on the 360, if that’s the case then why did FFXIII sell more on the PS3 than the 360? Try explaining that logic.

If MS cared, they would of came out with exclusive games and continue to push them, but yet they abandoned the core audience for the casual with Kinect. Face it, you’re just making up fake assumptions.

Also on people buying PS3 exclusives, not everyone can afford all those games. Hell, I haven’t even played some exclusives from last year that I’m already trying to get and there are a ton more coming this year. If I was a 360 only gamer, I would be furious at MS right now.

sometimes sales dont = quality the tramps in the uk all buy and drink special brew as its high alcohol content doesnt make it good cause it sells loads. The wii dominated anything the 360 has hell zumba sells more than gears / halo. Even sony fans bought a 360 since that was the only next gen system out people love new tech. Since the 1 year gap there will always be a larger instal base for 360 its just obvious doesnt make this the best console at all, iphones are awful but they sell like mad, so whats your point? just cause people love cheese halo that makes it incredible quality? it just shows that there is no main reason to buy 360 since the main games selling are mult plat, if you want a larger selection of exclussive ps3 is a good choice, but if you dont like ps3 thats cool too. I enjoy most games but feel that 1st party sony titles really do it for me.What does it matter to you who is selling more consoles? you have some shares or something?

Leejohnson222

i am so glad you talked about n4g and the vita BS, oh my life i dont want alan wake, i definatly hate halo generic space shooter, i have no issue if people enjoy it but i DO NOT want this game, gears is cool, but that is, games the ps3 users wish they had, its clearly an artice that 360 sites just created to get traffic, who did they ask? and vita honestly its been a few weeks and people have to be negative about it, the device allows access to itunes, last fm, netflix come on the device is amazing, im not even into handhelds and i wont buy it but that doenst mean you have to be negative about it, the psp releases a monster hunter and sells over 1 million copies in 1 week, they drop a white ps3 final fantasty and it sells millions in japan. Did anyone not realise we are still in a recession no matter what any government tells you. Sales are tough, lots of shops even chains cosing down in jan.

What is the definition of a hardcore gamer? Here are some attempts to define it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardcore_gamer#Hardcore_gamer

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hardcore%20gamer

”The stereotypical hardcore gamer is out of shape, and has poor hygene.”

http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/688753/the-definition-of-hardcore-gaming/

I believe, however, that the difference between a casual gamer and a hardcore gamer is not the console they own, the games they play or the difficulty level they play them at. I believe it is the amount of time they dedicate to playing games.

Someone who plays 20 hours a week of Angry Birds is likely more hardcore than someone who plays Call of Duty 1 hour a week.

Often the confusion exists between defining hardcore games versus hardcore gamers. Two different topics.

Can a hardcore gamer play casual games? Can a casual gamer play hardcore games?

Thoughts, suggestions, corrections anyone?

In my humble opinion, a hardcore gamer loves the idea of video games and has a wide variety of games they will play. From PC to Console to Mobile, it doesn’t matter to a hardcore gamer as long as the game interests them.

I also strongly believe that hardcore gamers also are interested in their production (Concept art, etc), because why love playing games but don’t care about how they are made?

Same shit every week. How many shows is Blade gonna talk about “360 has no games” when in actuality the 360 has a ton of games…exclusives too! If you were to add up total exclusives for PS3 and 360, 360 would still have more but the Wii has more than both of those systems. So by Blades logic, I should by a Wii instead of a 360 or PS3 cuz it has more exclusives. GTFO! All MS exclusives sell better than PS3 exclusives but this could be because there are less exclusives released each year on 360 than PS3. PS3 has more shooters than 360 so the genre is thin over there. I don’t know but please, talk about something else. Blade has been saying the same shit every show for years. Every fucking show, “360 has no games”. Are you retarded Blade? You sound as dumb as those 360 fanboys that were saying PS3 has no games.

This show can be entertaining but stop repeating the same rhetoric every wee…month when you release a show. It’s ok if you aren’t accurate about your information if you are funny. I know you guys don’t take this show seriously but at least come up with more new content. And where’s the Jaffe appearance?!!?

Twisted Metal does in fact have online multiplayer. You guys should do research before Jaffe is on your show. I’m no trying to sound negative. I actually dig the show quite a bit even though I disagree with a lot. keep em comin’. I just don’t want Jaffe calling you out for being unprofessional. And you know he will!

No doubt Reclaim. Thanks for listening. We are trying our hardest to get him on the podcast..
