Play soldier with Liara and Tali as your teammates, get used to the battle system/their abilities, and the 2nd playthrough roll an Adept.

This is exactly what I did, worked great. Soldier and Adept are both great fun.

360 can not only play CD's, it can support Ipods and Zunes. (hello 2008) 360 can not only play movies, it can play them in 1080p, and you can download them straight to the console off marketplace.
Your home centre peice is bullshit, as 360 can do all the crap you just listed (except play Blu-Ray and PS games)

I asked you what makes it special lol. Regular consumers (or posters here) don't give a flying fuck about your list. My dreamcast can play CD's too. Ur list sucks lol.

Anyways lol:

No shit, Einstein. Your reasons for purchasing your eckbucks do not appeal to me, just like mine didn't appeal to you. Anyways, I use my PSP to access my PS3 data, hell, as long as I have a pc and internet connection; I can remote access all my shit.Yes, even (gasp) music, videos, and... pictures! *This is why I bought it.* If a consumer finds having ipod/zune support more valuable instead of a native Blu Ray player, or rather, a home centre, hell, more power to them.

What do you mean by "you can play them in 1080p"? It's either 1080p or not. I'd assume you meant TrueHD, since that is what the PS3 offers and not the 360 which is the basis of this argument. Anyways, have fun downloading TrueHD lossless video/sound from the market place How much are you paying for your T1, T2, T3, or even optic line? Compressed data != TrueHD, I'd assume you know what that is, so I won't explain. I arrived at this:

1. Either the data is not TrueHd, and therefore, compressed (highly think this is it, and != TrueHD).
2. You have super internet data connections (I doubt this).

How many TruHD movies can you fit in the regular 360 shitty hd 13 gig hd? 1/2 a movie? TrueHD, really? Don't kid yourself, or maybe you are a fool.

Correct me if I'm wrong since I've never bought (or will) buy an ecksbucksthreesixty.

The only difference is that you don't see me making retarded posts bragging about it. It's not that big of a deal, and you're doing a great job acting like it is.

Really? That's what comes to mind when I see most of your posts :rocl:

Edit: In before the human eye can't see any difference between picture quality. :bagel:

either you fucked up the quotes or I'm missing some awesome sarcasm.

The greatest thing about this thread is that it will never be over.

One day, when I am extremely bored, I might go back and catalog the conversations, setting up a primary table linking to specific pages where specific news or debates broke out. I know some people aren't fond of this thread, but I absolutely love it. Its one of the only threads I consistently check anymore.

The greatest thing about this thread is that it will never be over.

We should go for 1000 pages by the end of the year. Or maybe at least over 9000 posts! We're at 6787 posts atm lol.

[Elcura]

I think in a few days we will have been arguing (among other things) about consoles for a whole year. And the first 3 pages are pretty much the same as the last lol

Yeah. I think I will go back and create a first post that links directly to various big news stories/debates in this thread at some point, just gotta condition my mind for that agony.

My favorite Console Wars quote so far:

I usually turn the rumble off or my controller mysteriously ends up in my lap for every game I play. ._.

[Jefe]

Nah, it's cool, gives me something to do while at work ;( But it's very, very easy to end this crappy war lol.

Pleasure (the Epicurian one), or happiness is subjective. Of course, it is based on rationale that is: not hurting others, one's self, and all the jazz. What brings one happiness may not bring happiness to others because of the subjectivity; thus, do w/e brings the greatest happiness, that is the meaning of life.

What brings me the greatest happiness in life is confrontation and anger, the war is back on!

Sooo.... did anyone get the turok demo? and did u like it?

I like the demo,especially using the knoife on those raptors... the only thing i didnt like is how u change weapons(using the D-pad) but overall i like it,not going to buy it on 1st day though, going to wait for it to go lower.

[Norelco]

I just got a 10 dollar gift card from Walmart.com for their fuckup of SSMB fiasco. Better than nothing I guess.

Thats way better than nothing, haha, now Smash Bros will only cost you $39.99

[Tajin]

hmm turok, I remember liking turok 2, because they took out that stupid fog effect of the 1st one. Does it have a story?

[Xavier]

Game is for 360/PS3 right? Is the demo up on both systems?

[izembo]

yes/yes

[Kwijiboe]

Played Demo on PS3.

They put the secondary fire as R1 and Primary fire as R2. So everytime I saw a dinosaur/enemy I would screw off/on my silencer, which is so useful because SILENCERS DONT MEAN SHIT IN ANY FPS' SINGLEPLAYER (cept COD4 multiplayer). Knife is also ridiculously overpowered, one hit-kill counterattacks like assassin's creeed. Takes 2 shotgun shells or 30 bullets or I could just press R2 when the game tells me to one hit kill a fucking raptor. Also the life system is auto-regen.. which is really stupid since you can knife anything with a one hit kill, and well, shocker-- dinosaurs can't shoot at you, so just let them do the work-- and stab them when they're close (they'll also wait in line like the templars from Assassins!). Melee weapons have always been useless in EVERY game in my opinion, until Call Of Duty 4 and Gears Of War. This doesn't include the Halo series, because those were'nt useless, they were absolutely retarded.

Overall, not a very impressive game. The guns don't feel like guns and shooting dinosaurs is never fun. Unless of course they have guns. They said this was an evolved version of the Turok story. Shouldn't the dinosaurs have learned that Guns > Biting by now? It's the same thing, except you're not an Indian now. Or maybe he was, I don't know-- I didn't see any alcohol in my inventory.
