Buddy of mine got banned from X box live for making illegal copies of games and playing the. Crazy how much they can tell about us just by logging online.

Just another one of the stories I've heard about Microsoft going gestapo with their products. Hey, it's their gear.

That's why I've always said forget Windows and XBox; Give me Linux and a PlayStation.

I don't have a problem with that. Play copied games, don't play on LIVE. Seems like a reasonable comprimise.

Microsoft can kiss the hackers goodbye, they're going over to Sony. I had a number of nerd friends who loved the original XBox simply because it was a flat computer tower; they changed out the disc drives, put in bigger memory storage, ripped games, etc.

Such technical tomfoolery is not in like with Microsoft's visions of world domination, though.

Kiss the hackers goodbye? Going gestapo? This is not new. Microsoft has been banning people from live with modded xboxes since the beginning.

Sony does the same thing. The psp has firmware that must be updated regularly before playing online. Same deal.

And where are they running? To the PS3 with a crippled implementation of Linux? Yeah, the linux PS3 scene is just blowing up everywhere...

With their game development? ... It always turns out fantastic and manages to surpass monumental expectations every time. I understand that every Final Fantasy game is the best game ever made when it comes out. Same goes for Metal Gear.

My biggest beef with Metal Gear is the damn cutscenes. Last one I played, probably the first one on the PS2, drove me nuts. Finally, after a 20 minute segment that included perhaps 1 minute of me walking down a hall in the middle and the rest watching a movie, I gave up and moved on to something else.

Totally agree!! The first one that came out for PS2 was and will be the last one I buy.

Yet it is a solid PS exclusive :) :pepper:

They've been talking up MGS4 for like 3 YEARS. By the time it finally comes out the console war has all but been decided. :crazy:

I love the cutscenes and such. The conspiracy theories in the Metal Gear games keep me coming back. The Patriots storyline in MGS2 was brilliant.

My beef with most games out today is that they don't include enough of a storyline; it's like every damn WW2 shooter out nowadays. It's all instant gratification. Quite frankly, it could have the best controls and graphics ever, but if it's not well-wrought and well-concieved, I'll blaze through about it (probably not even finish it) and set it on my shelf to collect dust. That's why I love Sony's exclusives, Final Fantasy and Metal Gear in particular. You invest hours and hours to beat a game (50-ish for Metal Gear and 100-ish+ for Final Fantasy) but the payoff, for me, is always worth it.

I have a feeling that developers are starting to forget replay value means more than online play. It's all plug in and blow stuff up, requiring no attention span.
