Okay….ugh…this sh!t is really getting old, and i’m starting to feel like developers are not only taking advantage of us but apparent think we are idiots. The best way to get things accomplished and changed is power in numbers. The Half-Life series and the Orange Box package is great for it’s price even with all of it’s technical problems, which from the review on ign, seems to be very severe, and yet, with such a great game or any game at this point in the ps3 life cycle having technical issues is totally and completely unexceptable; and for this, to make an example and secure that we demand quality games on our system, we should all not buy it, in fact, I think we should protest Half-Life for the ps3 and have the member and reads here sight it to get more attention. The game sounds great, but I’m really tired of excepting not just bad but horrible ports-ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, DAMN IT!!! If you buy this game, ports will continue to be completely unexceptable and things won’t change, and I’m making a stand for change. Please support your hobby and you spend your hard earned time and money on and ensure that we except no less than anyone else is getting. Please submit your thoughts.

now i’m hearing that the final ps3 build is much better than before. still worse than the xbox version, though, which sucks.

Sweet, broke out into conspiracy theories and the like in here.

I was going to post before about how this isn’t the final build, nor has it passed certification yet and the news is coming from 1UP of all places, but I thought what’s the point.

And derrickgott007, Yes MS is about the dirtiest company on the planet as far as ethics go, but EA is a publicly traded company who wouldn’t want to harm their reputation, just to help out another companies port of a game when the PS3 version is the only one they get money from.

They probably have programmers who are cutting their teeth on the PS3 for the first time and not a large team. Also the build 1UP played might have been earlier then they thought.

Either way, I’ve already played Orange Box to death.

@ c20h25n30r45m32m456 (Why don’t you use a real name instead of those stupid numbers?)

Why don’t you understand that Microsoft IS paying people to lean more towards the 360? It’s been proven hands down. If you want proof just look at when Peter Moore talks about anything. He was at a Nascar race the other day represnting EA, and he talked ONLY about the 360 version of Nascar. Microsoft is most surely paying Peter Moore “Kickbacks” for that. People want to say “Oh now that he works for EA he wants both versions to succeede so he can make more money.” Well guess what?? He only talks about the Xbox versions of any EA game when he goes anywhere.

Also c2oh25stupidnumbers, explain why even though SONY has stated that if a developer has problem with code, SONY will send their best programmers to help them (FREE OF CHARGE) to get the best out of their developement. How come they keep denying that help? Sounds like a little money is getting funneled their way to NOT accept the help.

The video game industry is more like politics now and there are a lot of dirty dealings going on. Microsoft has the track record of buying whole companys to stop them from going multiplatform, and buying stock in companys to stop the spread of technology that the other platforms will use. Want more proof just look at Immersion. Microsoft tried to buy controlling interest in that company to stop SONY from being able to have rumble…Immersion did allow them to buy stock, but not controlling interest. That is why we have rumble again, because Immersion was still able to deal with Sony and make an agreement to liscense the technology to sony. Had Microsoft got controlling interest we would NEVER have rumble.

@HachiRoku:

I do agree devs are just too damn lazy and have $$-signs in their eyes when they publish the next crappy game on the PS3. But I don’t believe MS is paying them. If you do believe that, you have some serious issues.
It will only be this year. Next year the games will run smoother and better because even the lazy devs will get it to work.
Besides that, now that more and more people are buying a PS3 they HAVE to. .

What’s the point in getting a game out if it’s a pile of crap? They won’t be making any profit if noone buys a bad version of a game. Why not skip the PS3 all together if you don’t want to put any effort in it?
